It is not surprising to see that the movie "Ghostbusters" is arguably one of the best, if not the best comedy movie for 2016. The movie's completely different take on the original film gave everyone something new to look forward to from a movie shown 30 years ago.
Sure, the movie "Ghostbusters" is all about fighting and eventually capturing menacing ghosts, but having it done by an all-female squad automatically raises the entertainment value to soaring new heights. It is completely different from the original movie this way.
The movie "Ghostbusters" stars four feisty females, each with characters distinct from each other. The cornucopia of characters led to a movie that is rich in variety with a different comedic offering. This is certainly what moviegoers are expecting and looking for from the movie and it delivered successfully.
According to Movie Web, the movie "Ghostbusters" comes back after 30 years which at that time took the world by storm. The franchise makes its long-awaited return. The movie director Paul Feig brings his fresh take to the supernatural comedy which is joined by some of the funniest actors to date.
As added by IMDb, the movie "Ghostbusters" earned a total of $46,018,755 in USA alone during its opening weekend. Since Nov. 4, 2016, the movie already has gross earnings of $128,344,089 in the USA. These are impressive figures from a sequel.

Though the movie "Ghostbusters" did not sit well with some critics, it still brought the expected fun and entertainment expected. One movie critic said the movie doesn't justify its own existence. The review continued on by saying that the movie is veering towards being anti-male.
Definitely, not everyone can be pleased. The movie "Ghostbusters" may have its fair share of critics, but it managed to emerge as an entertaining movie of the year. This is so especially for those who watched and loved the first "Ghostbusters" back in the 1980s.
The original fans of "Ghostbusters" 30 years ago are most likely settled, married and with kids of their own. It is nice to share to them what the parents loved back in the days. It's like marrying two distant eras together for a fun-filled family enjoyment.
