No, I don’t think so. I really enjoyed it. It was significantly better than most of the SF and superhero flicks we get this day in age. My guests and I all had a good time. The writing exceeded expectations. The performances were all above average for the genres (SF and comedy). The pacing was fairly even. The effects were a bit too CGI for my taste (I know it’s cheaper, but I’d like to see CGI houses doing more to recreate the ethereality of 80’s SFX, and not just in this movie but in all the digitally mastered stuff we get now). But I’m not going to dance around critiquing what I wasn’t thrilled with.
Studios should take note though, I haven’t been off to see Zack Snyder’s latest DC universe POS snoozefest. Six people (counting me) bought tickets to this Ghostbusters reboot (along with snacks) and I bought a round of drinks (Alamo Drafthouse) for my guests and myself. Our wallets didn’t damn with faint praise, and making movies cost money.
I also demand more Holtzmanned memes.
