The Real Ghostbusters Audience Reviews

Artivels Undescribable Perfection
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
jacobjohntaylor1 This is the TV show that got me into ghost stories. This was my favourite show when I was kid. I watch the show now and it is still my favourite show. This is a fellow up to the movie. Late part of the show counts as a few up to Ghost busters II. This movie are great. The show is better. This show has great story lines. It also has great acting. This show has great animation. This show is a must see. Lonrenzo Music was a great actor. Frank Welker is a great actor. Maurice LaMarche is a great actor. Arsenio Hall is a great actor. Will Meugniot is a great director. This is a great show. See it. It is one of the best shows of all time.
dee.reid I'm 26."The Real Ghostbusters" is as good and as real as an animated TV series based off a popular movie franchise can possibly get. When I was growing up during the early 1990s, "The Real Ghostbusters" was one of four popular cartoon TV shows that helped shape my formative childhood years; the other three cartoons from that time were "Transformers," "G.I. Joe" and my personal favorite, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."Toward the mid-'90s, "The Real Ghostbusters" was ultimately removed from an early-morning TV line-up on USA (that's now channel 35, if you have Comcast cable like I do) that included the other three aforementioned animated shows, which soon left me without a source of entertainment that would spark my wild kiddie imagination. But thankfully, the advent of TV-on-DVD in the last decade has brought this utterly fantastic TV series back from the land of classic TV show entertainment oblivion.Of course, "The Real Ghostbusters" was spun off the wildly popular 1984 cult supernatural comedy "Ghostbusters," about three unemployed university parapsychologists who become New York City's leading investigators and eliminators of pesky poltergeists. Drs. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray), Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) and Egon Spengler (Harold Ramis) were eventually supplemented by a fourth member, Everyman Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson), as they battled an ancient, malevolent, other-worldly entity that had designs on dropping in on Central Park West and laying waste to human civilization."The Real Ghostbusters" is a continuation of that exact same storyline with the same classic characters and a new legion of evil ghosts needing investigation and extermination from our four popular heroes."The Real Ghostbusters," like its original 1984 film-spawn, is a work of unquestionable uniqueness, brilliance, and originality. "Ghostbusters" was one of the most unique and original comedies to come out of the early '80s (and it's also one of my all-time favorite movies), so it's no wonder why it was the highest-grossing film of 1984 - after a cash-grabbing theatrical re-release one year later in 1985 to beat out "Beverly Hills Cop"; it's also no wonder why it also had a best-selling musical soundtrack, too, which featured the pop culture classic "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker, Jr., and the song is featured prominently on the TV show as well. Also like in the movie, "The Real Ghostbusters" crackles with humor, strong voice-acting performances, action sequences, special effects, and imagination."The Real Ghostbusters" is real creativity and imagination from a time when TV shows were still willing enough to be daring and original.10/10
TenchiOAV_RGB How do I even begin to describe how much a love affair I have with this series? The darker tone of the first couple seasons was great. It wasn't nearly as dark as Batman the Animated series,another favorite of mine was,in comparison. One of the things that I heard of which may've affected the series in the last couple of seasons was parents complaining about violent content,which is funny when you compare it to series like He-man and TMNT which were both running around the same time. I say this is funny when you consider that both of the other series I've mentioned used more common weapons as well as attacking things that were sometimes human like living creatures.Anyways back to Ghostbusters,before a lot of shows started having a chronological plot, I feel like Ghostbusters had some major first steps in that some of the episodes actually did connect,Samhain and Boogeyman are the ones I'm thinking of at the moment,might be others as well.I also enjoyed waking up each Saturday morning to have the show to look forward to, the plots were good,the ghosts creative and just having a continuation of the first movie was great for a start of interest in the paranormal and supernatural and to find out what is actually out there.
roto31 I remember watching this cartoon when it came out in the middle 80's. I just bought the 2 disc DVD pack with both the movies. Two episodes of the cartoon series came on the disc for the 2nd movie. I wish there were cartoons like this on Saturday morning still. This was the one cartoon my brothers and I never missed. We were quite sad when ABC canceled it. My favorite character was Egon while my younger twin brothers preferred Peter and Ray, but we all liked Slimer.This was a cartoon that even adults could watch and be amused. I had never seen the movies when this cartoon came out and this cartoon made to want to see the movies. Unfortunately my family had no VCR till the second movie came out. I got what I expected to see in the movie based on what I saw in the cartoons. Unfortionately the after the second movie came out the cartoon became too cartoon. Whoever had done the cartoon before the 2nd movie did it spot on perfect. If are those of you who are fans of the movies, I recommend the seasons before the 2nd movie came out.
