Der findes næppe mange film, der har fået så meget kritik som Paul Feigs omdiskuterede og af mange fans nedvurderede Ghostbusters-reboot med Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, Melissa McCarthy og Kristen Wiig i hovedrollerne.
Traileren til filmen blev hurtigt en af de mest nedstemte i YouTubes historie, og spaltekilometer af syrlige kommentarer er blevet skrevet om filmen efterfølgende. Men trods al kritik er der en person, der står fast ved, at Paul Feigs Ghostbusters er en fremragende film.
For Dan Aykroyd, manden der som bekendt spillede en af de fire originale spøgelsesjægere i de to første film, hævder stadig den dag i dag, at de fire kvinder gjorde et fantastisk stykke arbejde, og at Feigs vision var spot on. En mening, han gentog i et interview med People Magazine for nylig.
"I liked the movie Paul Feig made with those spectacular women. I was mad at them at the time because I was supposed to be a producer on there and I didn't do my job and I didn't argue about costs. And it cost perhaps more than it should, and they all do. All these movies do"
"But boy, I liked that film. I thought that the villain at the end was great. I loved so much of it. And of course, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones and Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, you're never going to do better than that"
"So I go on the record as saying I'm so proud to have been able to license that movie and have a hand and have a part in it, and I'm fully supportive of it, and I don't besmirch it at all. I think it works really great amongst all the ones that have been made"
At Aykroyd tilhører en lille minoritet med sine meninger, det er der ingen som helst tvivl om, og tallene fra billetindtægterne taler også deres tydelige sprog. Filmen blev en kæmpe fiasko for Sony, men derfor skal Aykroyd stadig have lov at mene, at det er en god film.
