I actually liked the new Ghostbusters. There were funny bits, and it was a nice remake. It walked a fine line - not too close but didn't stray too far from the original. Not great, but better than my low expectations.

I will (begrudgingly) admit that I too, have actually, on occasion, watched remakes...Now generally, I was at work,...The true proverbial" Getting Paid to watch it" situation...But....Does anyone else feel just...IDK, Against the whole idea of it in the first place? What next? Remake Star Wars, or The Matrix, or Hell, Dark City or any other movie they got right the first time! The point is they could have made a sequel or even rebooted a series instead and it would have been just fine...Also Any movie where they re-use a name rubs me the wrong way...

I'm not a big fan of remakes. Like most, this one didn't need to be made. However, I did enjoy it for what it was. 1) my wife and I had a few glasses of wine befor ewatching 2) I *liked* the original but I have no particularly strong attachment to it so there was no nostalgic blasphemy in redoing it.
