    I think the PC remake also harmed the new one too. Even though the new one may be slightly better.

    Won't know until it comes to streaming. Movie theaters are just no longer affordable.

    It came out in theaters 2016 and has been on Prime and Netflix if I remember .. I couldn't watch it and turned it off.

    I purchased the last one as it was the Original Director's Son who made it and did it proud.

    Yes, the "PC" reboot IS out on streaming, that's how I watched it. I was referring above to the newest one: "Frozen Empire" I have now seen all of the previous movies.

    I totally agree, this was a great film and did everything right by the original people involved in the franchise from director to cast. Importantly it did it in a way that moved the franchise forward such that we now have Ghostbusters Frozen Empire to enjoy.

    I still think this one should have been: "Ghostbusters: The Next Generation" or maybe "Gen 2". :D

    Understood -- guess I misread due to the subject title being labeled as Female GBs ..

    Ok, finally saw this one, and it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone kept telling me it was. Was nice to see at least 3 of the original cast members in there. Though I think it probably would have sat better with a lot of the purists if they had set it in a different city than NY. Let it be it's own stand alone group rather than trying to do a PC Remake of the original.

    Agreed .. but I personally just do not like Melissa McCarthy in much of anything.

    I enjoyed it also. It isn't quite as iconic to me as the originals, but I also didn't watch it when I was 8 years old, which I think makes a pretty big difference. :)

    I'm curious if kids growing up now will have different preferences in the series. I remember when the Star Wars prequels were released and "public opinion" online was that they were terrible - 20 years later the opinions I read have sure changed a lot! Turns out now a lot of people have fond memories of those movies.

    I think that's a fair comment, I never thought much of it when it came out but every studio with a million bucks and a desire to fund a project can make whatever Ghostbusters movie the want :)
