I expected Ghostbusters to be a family film - but this really is for kids.
Not much of it makes much sense and nothing really happens - it is a showcase for some good effects.
The Ghostbusters are broke - not even the windup windows on their car works - for some reason they still tear up the town busting ghosts, possibly for money but mostly for kicks - I think?
The action is slapstick and it is made abundantly clear from the start that nobody is ever going to get hurt, no matter how many cars crash or icicles shoot through the floor everybody is going to be fine.
The Ghostbusters are useless at what they do - they have no expertise or skill and really anyone else would be better to take over their business.
Then it turns out that the old Ghostbusters are still around and they do have money and aren't quite as useless as the new Ghostbusters.
The cast wander around town triggering hat tips to the older films - oh the nostalgia!
Then the bad guy is here then someone does a thing and he isn't - the end.
This is ok to put on whilst you are doing something more interesting on your phone - James Acaster is surprisingly good and the highlight of the show.
The effects are great and it doesn't hang around too long - but even a day latter I am struggling to remember what actually happened - it turns out not much.
