	Author	Review
United States	Stephanie Zacharek Time	"The movie glows with vitality, thanks largely to the performers, who revel in one another’s company."	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"[With] an endless supply of good vibes, the new, cheerfully silly 'Ghostbusters' is that rarest of big-studio offerings — a movie that is a lot of enjoyable, disposable fun."	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"An estrogen-infused makeover, particularly one with such a comedically gifted cast, was a promising idea. Sadly, that's where the inventiveness ended."	NEG
United Kingdom	Nigel M. Smith The Guardian	"Fanboy ire can’t stifle the defiant energy – and frequent hilarity – of this terrifically inventive comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"While both funnier and scarier than Ivan Reitman’s 1984 original, this otherwise over-familiar remake from 'Bridesmaids' director Paul Feig doesn’t do nearly enough to innovate on what has come before."	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Angry nerds, take note: The ladies are the best thing about this franchise reboot (...) The big surprise here is McKinnon (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"This new A-team of ghostbusters are fresh and funny enough to have earned space in the summer comedy firmament."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Despite great chemistry among its first-rate cast, Paul Feig's reboot has a hard time justifying its existence."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"This remake is a consistently funny pleasure, never quite as sharp or inspired as the 1984 original, but radiating such good cheer that comparisons between the two films don't much matter."	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"With a cast as daring and quick as this one, 'Ghostbusters' is too mild and plays it too safe."	NEU
