The sheer fact that you found anything in the 2016 movie funny, negates anything negative you have to say about this movie. Your hipster is showing. In case you forgotten, Ghostbusters was never just about busting ghosts, in the original film we see them capture one ghost 30 minutes in, and not another one until the end of the movie. I’m sorry you didn’t have a good time, but I long for the days when reviewers could I take a piece of film for what it was, not for what they wish it was.

Interesting, but I disagree. For starters, it sounds like you haven’t seen the film. Second, the movie develops the idea of them investigating and capturing ghosts from scene 3. Believe me, I was open for anything. There could have been no busting and no humor. But it was pleasant, hanging out with the family. But then there is a focus on the world ending that literally lasts less than 30 minutes of the movie. This is not consistent internally. Let me know when you’ve seen the film. Will be curious about how you feel then.
