I found the movie to be okay despite all the controversy.. My daughter enjoyed seeing the ladies in the roles of the Ghostbusters. But as far as plot it wasn't a retread of the original but still left me for a desire for something more original.
The CG for the animals was excellent! However I just felt like I was flung into a story without a proper introduction as to who the characters were and what their relationships to each other were.
The kids and I found the movie fun. I had a couple of questions about some story chpices, but my daughter really identified with the charater of the girl! The wife didn't enjoy it at all.
This movie brings back the sense of fun and adventure that was missing from the prequels. It was great to see characters from the original trilogy on screen again!
