Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
So, how do the Ghostbusters of today shape up against the boys of yesteryear? Pretty well ...
This is a mediocre horror/comedy that deserves neither high praise nor disparagement.
As is so often the case with special-effects-heavy movies, the character comedy quickly gets trampled by the effects (in this case, not special).
In her wily line delivery and cocksure swagger, McKinnon resembles nothing if not a young Bill Murray. Through her thick goggles is the impish spark that keeps movies like this in orbit.
