| Sober Film Critic James Brown | 88 | - Despite the overabundance of sexist haters and franchise purists, this reboot succeeds on three fronts — charting a new course with lovable characters, honoring the legacy of the pop culture phenomenon that Ghostbusters was, and serving up endless comedic fun for old and new fans alike.

| Often Off Topic Allie Adkins | 80 | - Nowhere near as bad as the grumpy critics have made it out to be. Good, honest fun! (full review) |
| Rob from GuysFilmQuest | 80 | - Wiig and McCarthy weren't nearly at their best, but McKinnon, Jones and Hemsworth were very entertaining. The plot was decent, the throwbacks were fun. I'd be interested in a sequel. |
| Bryan Lienesch | 80 | - A solid reincarnation of a beloved franchise. |
| Lisa Marie Bowman | 75 | - It's definitely uneven and nowhere as good as the original but it's still an entertaining comedy, featuring great work from Kristen Wiig and Kate McKinnon. (full review) |
| Le Anne of Tinsel And Tine | 70 | - As a kid in 1984, I was as in love with the original Ghostbusters as the rest of the nation. And I'm sure at some point I watched it again in the 90's; but when I tried to watch it again this past weekend (had to pay $1.99, can't believe Netflix didn't have it for free) to prepare myself for the reboot, I didn't feel like it held up. Amusing, but not nearly as dear to me as I thought it was. Now after seeing this 2016 Ghostbusters, in comparison, it makes the original Ghostbusters pure genius. (full review) |

| Minnesota Man | 35 | - Not great...but then again neither is the original if you're being totally honest with your childhood self. (full review) |
