Critics Consensus: Ghostbusters does an impressive job of standing on its own as a freewheeling, marvelously cast supernatural comedy -- even if it can't help but pale somewhat in comparison with the classic original.

See this film for Ghostbuster laughs and a new era of Ghostbusters

Ghostbusters offered a fresh and fun spin on the classic testosterone-fueled comedy and featured Chris Hemsworth as a dim-witted himbo, delightful cameos by cast members from the original movie, and a wonderful breakout performance by Kate McKinnon.

Instead of doing something memorable with the great chemistry we see from the cast, “Ghostbusters” settles for being another in a long line of mediocre 80’s movie remakes.

The secondhandedness of everything onscreen spoils any possibility of Ghostbusters succeeding on the merits of the talent involved.

While I dont feel Ghostbusters 2016 will have the staying power Ghostbusters 1984 had, it does what it intended to do. Its an entertaining film that respected its predecessor.
