Ok, finally saw this one, and it wasn't nearly as bad
as everyone kept telling me it was. Was nice to see at
least 3 of the original cast members in there. Though I
think it probably would have sat better with a lot of
the purists if they had set it in a different city than
NY. Let it be it's own stand alone group rather than
trying to do a PC Remake of the original.

I enjoyed it also. It isn't quite as iconic to me as the originals, but I also didn't watch it when I was 8 years old, which I think makes a pretty big difference. :)

I'm curious if kids growing up now will have different preferences in the series. I remember when the Star Wars prequels were released and "public opinion" online was that they were terrible - 20 years later the opinions I read have sure changed a lot! Turns out now a lot of people have fond memories of those movies.

I think that's a fair comment, I never thought much of it when it came out but every studio with a million bucks and a desire to fund a project can make whatever Ghostbusters movie the want :)
