Review by: Glenn Kenny - AARP Movies for Grownups
If only the filmmakers could’ve shoehorned some actual jokes into this overstuffed confection, or served up action that didn’t look like it was edited in a digital shredder!

It’s all too much of nothing special and all too little of anything funny or fun.

Review by: Rafer Guzman - Newsday
After so many mishandled or abandoned series — from “Fantastic Beasts” to “Narnia” to “Percy Jackson” — it’s nice to see one that’s heading in the right direction.

The plot is pretty much a cut-and-paste duplication of the original film.

Until Ghostbusters decides if it wants to throw its lot in with one era or the other, it’s always going to be between two worlds. And that purgatory makes for a middling experience that doesn’t quite satisfy.

Review by: Stephen Romei - The Australian
The 1984 original was original and entertaining. This fifth instalment is not the former and barely the latter. The Ghostbusters song asks "Who ya gonna call?" My suggestion is call it quits, but I suspect there's a ghost of a chance of that happening.
