"It's probably the radiation."
Feig's 2016 Ghostbusters is a highly respectful and very entertaining reboot. The first act is a little slow with a slightly dull focus on Wiig's scientist character, but as the team comes together and the more familiar Ghostbusters world is re-built the film soon comes to life. The leading quartet are all fine (individually and as a group), Chris Hemsworth steals the show as the hilarious and incredibly dim himbo secretary Kevin, and the cameos by the (surviving) old cast are nicely done - keep watching through the credits for the final one. Effects are top-notch, there is a pleasingly ramshackle quality to the team's expanded range of home-made equipment, and the huge-scale finale impresses in which the ladies truly kick some spectral butt. This film hits the right nostalgia buttons whilst making the concept fresh enough for a contemporary audience, with an ending that sets up the team for a welcome sequel.
