Ghostbusters is the iconic 1984 comedy starring Dan Akroyd, Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts, and Rick Moranis (the last two in supporting roles). The idea is that a group of scientists (Ramis, Murray, and Akroyd) is convinced that ghosts are real (which is established fairly early on in the movie) and can be captured and stored. They end up purchasing a fire station and selling their services as Ghostbusters. Of course, by the end of the movie, there is a threat not only to New York City as a whole but to the world if the Ghostbusters do not stop it.
Chances are, anyone reading this by now has seen the movie at least once. For the handful who may not have, it is definitely an adult comedy. It has a lot of swearing and some sexually suggestive material (but no nudity). It is extremely funny with jokes that you may miss the first time around. Even with a large ensemble cast all of the actors get at least some good material, and pretty much every character gets at least one memorable line.
The movie has been released multiple times on DVD and Blu-Ray. If you end up with the 25th-anniversary set, it carries over all of the making-of and behind-the-scenes material from the DVD release and includes the commentary track with the director Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, and one of the producers. The big addition to this set is a "Slimer" mode, which is a picture-in-picture viewing of the movie that has a ton of material including interviews with cast members and pop-up facts about the movie. There is also a preview of the video game that was released at the same time, and a feature on restoration of the Ecto-1 car. All in all, a bunch of good material for those who like going through the bonus material.
It is one of the best comedies not only of the 1980s but of all time. Even though it looks like a movie that was made in the 1980s, the story holds up even though it is now almost 40 years old. If you have not yet bought it on disc, you may want to get the 4K version, but if you are a fan of physical media it is worth picking up.
That is not to say that a two-hour movie can't be good. Castle in the Sky is a two-hour movie (and animated, no less) and it is FANTASTIC. But the insistence that every movie bet two - or even three - hours long is really screwing up writing. You end up with movies that have wasteful filler scenes that exist purely because the writers don't have enough filler to fill up the demanded time.
Case in point, Ghostbusters is a 90 minute movie (might be a few minutes longer, but pretty close if you cut out credits) and every scene in this film is necessary. It is so tightly scripted that there is not a thing you could cut without destroying the whole and nothing you could add which would make the movie better. It is exactly as long as it needs to be and it wastes not a single moment of that.
It's not without its flaws. Every scene might be necessary, but not every lot point or bit of dialogue perfectly executes its intent. But it's very good. The comedy is really sharp, almost every joke lands perfectly and brilliantly parodies horror tropes with an almost Monty Python level of deadpan snark. The plot is solid, the characters interesting - even the side characters - it knows when to build tension so that things still have weight despite the comedic overtones, and more importantly how to diffuse that tension without undercutting the weight they build. This is scripting at its finest.
Most of the effects are good, though the stop-motion is not so much dated as it just never was that good to begin with, but as a critic I love to quote once said, "people only complain about bad effects in a bad movie" and this is not a bad movie.
It is an excellent movie, highly recommended.
Great screenplay, Great Directing and of course Great acting from
