Busting Ghosts & $GIFU Giveaway!

Ghostbusters (2016)

Wouldn’t be going too deep into the plot summary but I’ll try to give you a general overview of the storyline. Abby Yates and Erin Gilberts co-authored a book since they were high schoolers that detailed their paranormal investigations. Now, Physicists and estranged friends, Erin is a professor at Columbia while Abby still does paranormal research at an institute of science in New York City with her partner, Jillian Holtzmann. After all three of them get fired from their respective institutions, they steal equipment, set up headquarters at a Hong Kong food store, and hire Kevin as their receptionist. From there on, are loads of research, fun, and of course, busting ghosts.

This film is the third in the Ghostbusters franchise. I remember seeing the very first, which was released in 1984, I think. After watching this third installment, I knew that anyone comparing it would take the latter as a very bad joke, as compared to the rather serious-themed former or even the second installment released in 1989. I checked the IMDB ratings of the Ghostbusters of 2016 and was genuinely shocked to see the ratings as low as 2.5/5.

I mean I knew it mostly undermined the efforts of the previous films but the ratings still felt far too low. So, I did some research and found out that the disgruntlement came from 2015 when it was found out that the cast would be female-led. This brought the ratings way down to the ground even before the film was released.

Now I’m not quite sure if my defense of this movie stems from the fact that I was in a good place then and had genuinely good laughs, but I still think it’s the type not to take too seriously if you want to enjoy it, especially if you’ve seen the first and second films in the franchise. I think it was more comedy than actual ghost-busting which you can guess even from the trailer, but probably shouldn’t be dismissed completely. Either way, hope you enjoy!

And now, getting to the main and long-awaited part of this post, at least for me is the GIVEAWAY!
