Don't listen to whiny fanboys about this reboot! Because, honestly, salty men make up the majority of folks I've encountered who thought this movie was absolutely terrible- many hadn't even watched it before hopping up on their soapbox and starting to ramble about how a "classic is being butchered" by female leads but ANYWAYS... The movie itself is a fun ride with an excellent cast. You definitely don't have to have seen the original Ghostbusters to enjoy it, but if you have seen the original and disliked it, you probably wont care for the reboot either. The humor is campy and corny, much like the original. If anything, the scene in which Kate McKinnon's character, kicks some serious ghost butt while a remix of the GB theme music plays makes it worth the watch- easily my favorite scene. So, if you've only heard negative things about this movie, I'd encourage you to give it a shot anyways as it's quite underrated imho. As for me, I'm pre-ordering the blu-ray to have and play just in time for some Halloween-themed movie marathons alongside the original Ghostbusters.
