The original Ghostbusters was an icon of its time and had all the right ingredients for a movie that's still enjoyable decades later. Will anyone want to watch this abysmal effort in a few decades time? I doubt many would want to watch it again at any time, as it lacks everything that made the original a classic.
The new young cast are simply awful and all of their acting seems to be completely over the top for no good reason. None of their characters are interesting or in any way engaging and they sadly set the tone for the whole movie, which is equally unengaging.
The appearance of some of the original cast is good to see, but they can't rescue the damage done by the new generation. Add in Paul Rudd who seems to play the exact same character, no matter the movie he's in, and you have a rather flat, at times irritating and ultimately disappointing movie, with no pay off in return for the 2 hours you endured it for.
The effects are impressive as one would expect, but when that's the only positive you can find in a movie, it demonstrates just how poor it is.
I think they should put the franchise to bed, rather than continue with this new cast, as I can't see them being able to create anything worthwhile if they continue on this path.
