Ghostbusters 2016 Did One Thing Better Than the Sequels
Paul Feig's female-led Ghostbusters reboot fell victim to internet trolls at the time of its release, but it did more than ride a wave of nostalgia.
There is no denying that 1984's Ghostbusters is a classic of its time and became a true pop culture movement that still endures today. Fans stand by the film with a passion that rivals that of Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. The enthusiasm is so strong that some of that love even extends to the 1989 sequel, which wasn't as well received at the time of its release and saw diminishing returns at the box office. After that film ended its run, fans still clamored for more, and what they got in 2016 was something they chose to attack, even before seeing the finished product, with visceral disdain.
