This reboot of the classic Ghostbusters film tries to be an improvement, but falls short in terms of script and characters. It has a good production, good cinematography, crazy action scenes and dazzling digital effects. The design of the ghosts is amazing and gives them a very cartoonish look. The rest of the movie leaves a lot to be desired. It has a fascinating story with an interesting villain, but it's not fully exploited. The female leads that replace the original cast show some grace, but their characters are not well written. There are moments that, instead of being funny, the characters end up giving pity to others, like much of the comedy in the film. Chris Hemsworth's character is too clumsy and silly. He can make people laugh at times, but unfortunately his character is so goofy that he doesn't make for good comic relief. The script is pretty mediocre and that ends up making the movie far from a good reboot. Even the cameos by the actors from the original movie don't help much. This Ghostbuster movie is sadly a failed reboot and because of that it is the most inferior installment in the entire franchise. My rating for this movie is 6/10.
