Definitely not as bad as some people are saying. I found that the movie had an overall pretty good 'entertaining' element, it knew it was going to be silly and played well into that. I felt that the animation used on the ghosts was perfect, it was stylized to look realistic yet cartoonish, fitting well with the humour and overall feel of the film. There were more little nods towards the original movie than I thought there were going to be, this was greatly loved, they ranged throughout the whole film and were not just lumped together. All the characters were played wonderfully by the actors, particularly Kate McKinnon and Neil Casey, they gave their all and it really worked for their strange characters. The pacing of the movie was very good, it certainly didn't feel like I sat there for two hours, boredom never once took hold. I appreciated the struggle the main characters went through to assert themselves where as in the original movie the Ghostbusters where accepted quickly and without much hassle. The remake made good use of artistic interpretation, sticking to a similar plot as the original but not copying it word for word or scene by scene. Overall I found the movie quite enjoyable and would gladly watch it again.
