I went into a viewing of the new Ghostbusters movie through the eyes of my 17 year old daughter, who never saw the original. I went in with a blank slate and low expectations. There were several things (and some characters) that annoyed me, but if I blocked out all memory of the (better) original, it was at least entertaining.

On a technical note, I likes how during some scenes, on my 16:9 screen, the "streams" from the proton packs would actually go "outside" of the main movie aspect ratio and into the black bars above and below the movie image. That was actually kind of cool.

All that said, I don't plan to watch it again anytime soon.
