Ghostbusters is a hoot. It's Murray's picture, and in a triumph of mind over matter, he blows away the film's boring special effects with his one-liners. Spotting a lusty, totally transformed, fire-breathing Slgourney Weaver, whose body has been overtaken by a spirit, Murray walks past her saying, "That's a new look for you, isn't it?" Thank you, Bill. And don't get outta here, you knucklehead. We like you in this kind of movie.

Whoever thought of having evil's final manifestation take the form of a 100-ft. marshmallow deserves the rational mind's eternal gratitude. But praise is due to everyone connected with Ghostbusters for thinking on a grandly comic scale and delivering the goofy goods, neatly timed and perfectly packaged.

Although it reunites the comic talents of director Ivan Reitman, writer Harold Ramis and star Bill Murray, the team responsible for the Meatballs phenomenon, their style here is far more laid-back and relaxed. There are still plenty of laughs, but not of the frantic sledgehammer variety.

Judged by the standards of the comedies that preceded it (and only by those standards), Ghostbusters is relatively sophisticated: it substitutes the silly for the gross, and even manages at the odd moment to take silliness into the sublime. [9 June 1984]

Single greatest film of all time! Absolutely fantastic in its plot, character development, cast and acting, special effects, emotive tone, and cinematography. Everything a horror/comedy should be and delivered to perfection.

Ghostbusters (1984) is a great and clever film. It’s got good acting, great ideas, and is all around a superb idea for a film. It's been my favorite film since I was 3 years old, and it will definitely stay that way.

A hilariously funny comedy with many classic and laugh out loud moments. Especially those coming from Bill Murray who gave a legendary comedic performance. I would recommend this movie to all comedy lovers. 10/10 (Legendary)

A film about a bunch of university losers and misfits and one normal working class guy. Who end up tasked to save the city. One of the ultimate funny underdog stories. The humour can be a bit crude on the nose, but it works considering who the characters are.

The story of an unusual bunch of heroes who came for save New York and the wide world of a ancient demon has enough mixed elements of horror and comedy for make it a classic of 80s by own right. For a weekend evening.

Exceptionally funny, witty, charming, and action-packed, Ghostbusters is a wonderful Sci-Fi adventure that hooks audiences with its one-of-a-kind special effects and amazing chemistry between its leads.
