Remaking or rebooting a film can be tough to do, but remaking or rebooting a classic film and turning it out good is even harder. The 2016 reboot of Ghostbusters is one such example, as the original 1984 film is so loved and adored by both fans and critics that many complained the minute it was announced that it was being made. Directed by Paul Feig, Ghostbusters has an all female crew for the new ghost hunting team, as played by Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones. The reboot has a lot more horror elements to it than the first two films, but the comedy is a bit lower than the first two though it still has some great moments. Unlike the first two films, the main villain starts out as human with a very interesting plan that involves him actually killing himself and turning into a ghost near the end. Wiig's character has some great background information regarding what lead her to be involved with ghosts, which the original characters never really delved with. My biggest complaint is that there are moments wherein the characters keep outtalking each other, like the cat in the bag, that goes on for too long. Over all: 82%
