There's only one thing that this new all-girl Ghostbusters remake does better than its 1984 predecessor: the introduction of their "ghosts-not-allowed" logo. As they find themselves on the platform of an underground NYC subway, a street "artist" spray paints the said logo on a wall right in front of them, inspiring awe and wonder as a result. The rest of the movie is dull and without any inspiration; not even the appearance by the original's main cast member, Bill Murray, does anything to improve the narrative or increase laughs, which are few and far between. Dan Aykroyd also makes a brief cameo, which had potential to be expertly written and executed, but instead falls completely flat. The script appears as if it was written in a few days, and the result is a movie that's anything but clever. Its story never flows, it just drags on. Forever.
