Ghostbusters

Movie was funny and clever and the Ghostbuster ladies were all great.  Though tumblr is very right in that Holtzman is the best.  And I liked the original cast cameos, though I think Akroyd got the best scene.  And the ghosts looked good plus somewhat creepy and the climatic action scene was very baller.  Though the economics of their funding and the whole walking around with portable nucleur reactors was very much hand-wavey.

Enh, its basically a sad unbalanced weirdo would-be wizard who wants to destroy everything because everyone treats him like a weirdo. Not as cosmically dangerous as Gozer or Zuul but threatening enough.

The first movie hand-waved the whole "backpack nuclear reactor" thing as well. OK, they were usually called "proton packs", but at one point Peter referred to them as "unregulated particle accelerators", and there's really only one way to explain how those packs could produce so much power from such a small space...
