Ghostbusters: Answer the Call Ratings & Reviews
- RichardOctober 18, 2025It tried to reboot the franchise with a new team, new tone and new gadgets. But instead of honoring the legacy, it felt like someone crossed the streams of bad improv and studio panic. Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, talented cast, wasted on a script that forgot how to be funny or spooky. The ghosts looked like neon leftovers from a theme park ride and the villain? Forgettable. Even Chris Hemsworth couldn’t save it with his airhead receptionist routine. The pacing was off, the jokes landed with a thud and the cameos felt like contractual obligations. They should’ve been put in the ghost trap for making this.
- PhineasJuly 10, 2025Now this right here is why not everyone should be allowed to "cook".
- ArtemisNovaJune 21, 2025how can a comedy be so unfunny? how can an action film be so boring? find out with ghostbusters 2016!
- tellumMay 29, 2025In the original Ghostbusters the characters are pretty dysfunctional despite being pseudo geniuses, but in this movie the women are not portrayed as genius and are just dysfunctional idiots. Baffling why the script was determined to undermine the actresses for almost the full length of the movie, to the point that the one scene where they get their acts together and display some competency it’s a breath of fresh air. Too bad the rest of the movie makes you choke on unfunny stupidity.
- Mister ArnMay 25, 2025It's the same as the original but without the magic.
