I had pretty low expectations about this based on the original trailer and recent crap reboots like Robocop, but holy crap was I pleasantly surprised. I usually like to write about things I would have done differently but honestly the only thing about this movie I felt was odd was the parade fight scene. It was cool to have it, but something about it felt out of place. Maybe it was just the editing, or maybe I felt like it made their main weapon (the proton pack) seem obsolete, but this is a pretty minor gripe. (Maybe the side arms were more effective because they were designed to destroy ghosts while the pack is meant to capture them? Sure, we'll go with that.)
Anyway, here is a list of good things:
-The characters felt a bit more like scientists here because their goal was to capture a ghost to prove a hypothesis and I really appreciated that as being their clear motive.
-Kate McKinnon as Holtzmann all day every day. Her facial expressions were something to look forward to in every scene, and the way she wrapped it all up with that toast was really cute. Egon is typically my favorite buster and I am in no way disappointed with Holtzmann being his spiritual successor.
-I've never really seen any of the other movies from this cast and crew so maybe it is a trademark of theirs, but I liked how fast paced the dialogue was.
-It was pretty clear that Chris Hemsworth had the time of his life filming this.
-Really glad they did something other than cross the streams to win the day in the end.
PLUS: We finally got Ecto Cooler back.
