I really enjoyed this movie. They intentionally subvert some of the tropes from the original, which, frankly is not that funny. Especially when you remember how sexist they are towards their own secretary -- oh wait, it's always like they flipped that on it's head. And guess what, it works and I found it very funny.
I sat in a theater ahead of two little girls with their dad going to see this movie and both they and him were laughing out loud often, and it only made me enjoy the movie more. At one point the daughter asked her dad if she could be a ghostbuster for Halloween, that matters.
Holtzmann was bad ass and cool and funny. The only reason this movie doesn't get a 10 is because I did feel like some of the jokes they gave Leslie Jones were a little too tropey for me.
This film had everything I wanted though, it made the source material relevant as seen in the new comics from IDW (which sold out 5 print runs), it targets more than just adult males and succeeds, it's funny, and the action was just awesome. You can nab this film in 4K for like 20 bucks on Amazon.
in short, IGNORE the goddamn trolls. This is worth your time and an open mind.
