WARNING: This review may contain a few slight spoilers.
Four women in Manhattan take on the paranormal- researchers Abby (Melissa McCarthy) and Erin (Kristen Wiig), engineer Jillian (Kate McKinnon), and subway worker Patty (Leslie Jones).
Pros:
•First half was actually pretty decent. I enjoyed seeing how the whole team came together.
•Chris Hemsworth. I thought he was just going to be in there for eye candy (and who can blame them. Good god that man is goregous!) but he's actually really funny. His scenes were some of the only times I actually laughed.
•Most of the special effects looked good.
Cons:
•The trailer pretty much gives the whole movie away.
•Yes, Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd, and Ernie Hudson have brief cameos that sadly were pretty pointless.
•That fucking Fallout Boy song!!! Holy shit that was terrible. It needs to die in the fiery pits of hell and/or be used to torture people to give up information.
•The last 30 minutes or so when the big battle occurs was nothing but fan service. I don't mind that if done right but this was all just in your face. Too much. Also, the editing was pretty choppy.
•While most of the effects were good, they should fire whoever did the ones for Slimer. Just awful. The ones in the original looked better. No excuse with today's technology.
My Rating: 7/10
