Great Film overall
Don't listen to the negative reviews
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This is one the best movies I have seen. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is scary at time. It is scarier then The silences of lambs could ever be. 7 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 7 is underrating it. This is not a 7. This is a 10. If you like ghost stories you should see this movie. If is a great movie. See it see it see it see it see it see it see it see it. It is one of the best fantasy film I have seen. It is scarier then the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on elm street could ever be. This is scarier then the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th could ever be. See this movie. It a great movie. It has a great soundtrack.
This is a decent fantasy/romance movie that has some interesting moments and good characters, although it felt like they couldn't find the right tune to tell it. Clearly a better and smarter screenplay could elevate this movie a lot, especially some dialogues were so out of place.I liked the chemistry between Patrick Swayze's character and Whoopi Goldberg's character, for me that was the strongest aspect of the movie. The other good thing about this movie was how they kept the story simple and focused. However, the drama never worked for me. Movie telling you how to feel all the time combined with cheesy romance and bad acting wasn't something that I can ignore. Totally Watchable!Best way to watch it: catch it on TV when spending lazy time on bed.
This and Pretty Woman were released about the same time and this was far superior to that in every possible way. The emotional wallop combined with humour and and inevitability made this an instant classic. Ghost was in my Top Ten Movies of All Time list for a long long time till The Fellowship of the Ring came along and kicked it out. Each time I watch this classic I feel so emotional that its staggering- every emotion possible can be experienced when watching this. A timeless classic that needs to be watched and rewatched and passed down to other generations. Casting is perfect- storyline perfect- only only the sobby ending keeps this from Masterpiece status in my book.
Whenever anyone asks me what my favourite movie of all time is, I say 'Ghost.' I remember seeing it for the first time when I was really young, and I still love watching it. The music alone (Composed by Maurice Jarre) is enough reason to watch it, but there are many other reasons too. Action, suspense, humour (Yes, humour. It's actually quite funny at times.) It's touching, thrilling, and other-worldly. Even if you're not a religious man, this film makes you believe in the afterlife, but only if you go to see a film, and suspend your disbelief.I know this is a relatively short review, but I hope it inspires people to check out the wonderful performances of Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and of course, Whoopi Goldberg.Having re-read my little review, it comes across as a political speech. I really didn't say anything!
