I haven’t seen it since it came out, so it’s hard for me to give it an honest review nowadays.

In terms of cast I don’t think you could have asked for anyone better. I think a zany ghost film might have worked. I think calling such a film a Ghostbusters reboot was a mistake. The newer Jumanji films do the same thing, create in unrelated film, slap a nostalgic title on it.

You could argue that the Ghostbusters franchise was already dead, so a reboot makes sense. However I think it’s important that a reboot still hold true to the original source. The 2016 film lacked the horror elements that made a Ghostbusters film, Ghostbusters.
