Just got back from seeing it myself. Final verdict?
There were enough changes for this to be its own movie, but it retained the same feel as the original. I got the impression it was pretty much one big love letter to the 1984 version.
Definitely can't wait for it to come out on DVD.
So... I just finished the new Ghostbusters movie today.
And my verdict?
Without spoiling anything, it's actually a fun, enjoyable flick! I have to say that the trailers made a very bad first impression and I was about to judge it poorly based on those alone, but watching this movie I could tell that there was a lot of love for the original and plenty of things to like about the new movie by itself. My engagement in the movie was a bit marred by the controversy surrounding its production at first, but that quickly went away as I started enjoying the plot, characters, effects, etc. I'd definitely recommend seeing this movie and let's be honest, it did not deserve the enormous mess on the Internet the trailers ignited. :C
I'm probably going to make a more detailed review of the movie on my Tumblr in due course, but for now, I'll leave this thread open to discussion about the movie itself and thoughts about it and all the controversy the trailers inspired. What say the rest of you?
