Return of the Ghostbusters

I'm a science fiction and horror movie fan and well yes I loved the original Ghostbusters when I was a youth, but compared to the tons of fan film material that were based on the Star Wars series, this was much, much better. I was even frightened watching it, you know, the subtle way! I couldn't get my eyes from the screen!

Mostly everything was very good or gorgeous: -The FX were better than in many a commercial TV series. -The acting was very, very good. My special compliments to the "bad guy"!!! -The cuts were wow! -The dialogues were awesome, my god, who wrote the script? Reitman and Ramis personally?

Yeah, the main characters are kind of like the original ones, but they got this new "russian" guy also and so the casting is an overall good compromise between old and new.

Will somebody please give these guys a TV series? Man, these guys belong in the showbiz!

I actually watch both pieces by BraxtranFILM but this in particular movie was pretty good coming from an independent film, and yeah I mean with the no 3rd G.B. ever ever ever ever, you'd have to expect it to come from a huge fan. However I felt this wasn't just a fan made movie, I felt this was someone that wanted to really keep true to the Ghostbusters and what it was about. I do have to say that some of it was a bit cheesy and could of done with a bit less, or maybe it might of been some of the actors doing what they did. But I feel for the kinda budget they probably had, they did a marvelous job bring back to life one great classic.

WOW...VERY IPRESSIVE.

for $3000, you made a very impressive movie...

How you did it, I don't know...but that is talent.

Yes there were some flaws, not in storyline but in overall production, but on something of this caliber, that is easily overlooked.

For most part, actors had no prior film experience...and while it showed abit, is still better than any movies I've seen made in the multi-millions.

Your true talent shines...and I look forward to seeing other films by you.

I realize that this is not on DVD, but only online due to legal matters, but having a feature film on DVD should be seriously considered.

I tend to spend that amount of money in one weekend without hesitation...but you know how to really work with it.

I should be investing in your company, as you guys really have the skills that so many Hollywood writers, actors, producers, directors and crew lack.

The only parts in this movie that really didn't fit - was the bar fight scene and the odd cursing - that was really out of place along with the MILF comment.

Aside all, your special FX, costumes, score, camera work and editing were pretty damn good.

As from your resumes, most of your work comes from self produced films, it's time to breakout into a higher budget and have your work shown across the public.

I don't know how many movies I've watched where I was so unimpressed - they had major "stars", big money and all the tools available - backed up by a major production company and they still came out with something that I would not rate above a 3.

You guys have what it takes and lets hope that you never lose it.

I can only imagine what you all could do with a 20 million plus budget...

Good luck, great job and keep them rolling.

I gave this a 9 because of all the effort combined with the ability to work with such a small budget and complete something worth viewing. While this is not at the top of my favorites, it does show plenty of promise and a well done job.

The song at the closing credits fit totally.

I give this a 5 for effects a 4 on script mainly for the "bad guy" and Egon's dialog that's it. The rest of the script they should have burned it. Get ready for the cheese when you watch this one. Now I fully understand the meaning of cheesy and we all know what cheese is made from old milk and that's what this is. They stole lines from the original maybe to make it better in their minds. This script is trash. I read the other reviews, I am not sure what movie they saw but they must be either geeks or the actors. This insults the great creation that is Ghost busters. This is worse then that extreme ghost buster cartoon, that also sucks monkey balls. They tried I give them that, but it is painful to watch. They had the tools but no talent with this one, except for Egon they were on the money with him and the bad guy is OK he needs work though. Watch if you must see everything that is ghost busters only, otherwise skip and watch some classic ghost buster cartoons on youtube.

As a die hard fan of the ghostbusters I was blown away when I saw Freddy VS Ghostbusters. I told my friends and family about it and showed the film to everybody who would watch. When I heard a follow up film was being produced my expectations were pretty high. I was absolutely floored when I watched the Return of the Ghostbusters. This film is Hank Braxton's Rocky Balboa to the film industry's Apollo Creed begging for just one chance, one opportunity to shine. While lacking the fanfare and budgets of a major movie production, what this movie does bring to the table is tons of heart and an obvious love for both the craft of film making as well as a love for the source material. Return of the Ghostbusters improves upon Braxton Films' earlier Ghostbuster fan film in every category: Cinematography, Acting, Scenery, Pacing, Casting, Effects, Audio, Script -- the list goes on. If you have ever even been so much as a casual fan of Ghostbusters, consider yourself a connoisseur of pop culture or are simply a fan of independent artists you owe it to yourself to watch this film. Rarely will a major motion picture capture the heart, dedication and love for the craft that this picture has produced in spades.
