What Went Wrong?
Millions of movie dollars wasted by stupid errors that evaded the light of minds skilled in the dramatic arts
Ouch! Why it failed
No ghost would be afraid of this movie - even call it a movie would be a generous critique
Where to start, which few of the numerous mistakes that could have been easily spotted beforehand should be discussed. The bad script, the casting, the directing the acting, the replacing of Bill Murry's minimalism by Melissa McCarthy’s hyper realistic chatter without re-balancing the completely changed dynamics in relation to the characters, ghosts and and ambience of the special effects.
If only team Ghostbusters would have sorted out the obvious mistakes then a whole new generation of movie buffs could have feasted on some magnificent ghoulish delights.
What a massive loss of potential: Dear Sony, if you aim to make another Ghostbusters and want it to be a success, who are you gonna call?
