So since I've been on this site I've come across a wide variety of GBfans. We each have our own thing that makes us Ghostbusters fans. Now, first and foremost, Ghostbusters 1 & 2 are comedy films. They are judged on that basis. When critics review the film, they weigh how well the film succeeded at making them laugh probably more so than anything else.
That being said, I get the feeling that with quite a lot of you "comedy" isn't necessarily the most important aspect for Ghostbusters. Some of you like the Ghostbusting, the action, the horror, the mythology.
Of all the theories and hopes and wishes for GB3, one thing I notice that gets skipped is..."Will it be funny?".
So how important is the comedy? If GB3 doesn't make you laugh but it has a great story and spectacle is that enough?
For me the breakdown of importance is: 1) Characters, 2) Story, 3) Comedy, 4) Horror, 5/6) Action/Ghostbusting.
For Ghostbusters sooo much of the Comedy is character based. I view Ghostbusters 1 & 2 as comedy films. It will be the same for GB3.
For me if GB3 doesn't succeed as a comedy, the movie is a failure.
What about you?
