this has been exactly my point concerning this movie.

Yeah it's a completely different brand of humor. I don't have a huge attachment to the original but I can definitely say it's funnier than this one.

McKinnon and Hemsworth ran away with the whole thing, especially McKinnon. And I can't put into words exactly why I loved her and her character so much. Most surprisingly for me, Leslie Jones wasn't nearly as annoying as the trailers made her out to be. A lot fewer "AW HELL NO" moments than I thought we'd be getting from her. It was cool how they played with the aspect ratio and the 3D.

There was a stretch towards the beginning where I was really hating this thing. Some really Paul Feig-y "bits" that went on for eye-rollingly long. Some really terrible jokes. The constant callbacks to and cameos from the old Ghostbusters movies were bad and unnecessary, except for the one during the credits. The fight during the rock concert reminded me of Vanilla Ice in the second Ninja Turtles movie. The big climactic battle at the end is a big nothing, save for one big moment with McKinnon. The characterization seemed all over the place for all the main characters except the most overtly cartoonish ones (again, Hemsworth and McKinnon). And this has got to be my least-favorite cinematic depiction of New York City. It didn't even look like New York.

Overall, it was fine. I laughed and I groaned. My girlfriend loved it. The crowd was way into it. It's a kid-friendly movie. It was fine. It was FINE.

WHO PAID YOU?!

I'd like to lower my score to 6/10 because I just remembered the truly horrible bit about cats and bags.

I heard there was a pretty good queef joke.
