Considering the parody-like nature of this "reboot," I would've been much more receptive if Sony had named it Ghost Smashers, as an homage to Dan Aykroyd's original premise, rather than calling it Ghostbusters. It needn't involve space travel and such. I'm sure IDW would've allowed Sony to use their GS logo and other material for inspiration. If they had done this, I would've gladly paid money to see it in theaters and likely embraced it as a surrogate sequel/reboot rather than an irreverent, slapstick clusterfu*k masquerading as Ghostbusters. The cameos of the original cast would've been a welcomed tribute to GB with no explanation necessary, instead of this bizarre alternate reality where Slimer and Zuul still exist as themselves, yet the original cast members have been shoehorned into awkward roles having no apparent significance or relation to the universe we know and love.
Sorry Kylie, this thread is about things you liked about the movie. If you haven't even seen it, you don't have a reason to post here. There are more than enough other threads in this forum to say what you didn't like, but this one is solely for things you liked. I didn't really like the movie very much, but even I found things about it that I liked.
Found some new things I liked, after watching the BluRay yesterday:
More than half of the extended scenes make the movie better. The rest should have stayed on the cutting room floor!
The german synchro makes me like the characters more than the original.
A lot of the alternate takes from the extras would've made the movie worse and I like that they weren't used!
