Not bad, but not that great, either.

I enjoyed it, but it's very weird and uneven. Has some impressively directed sequences and some very nice special effects though. It just doesn't seem sure of what it wants to be.

This feels like a Paul Veerhoeven film. I want to compare it to Robocop. It was pretty much as good as Robocop and if you liked that, you'll probably like this. They have the same tone.

Forget Lord of the Rings, this is Peter Jackson's best! It's also the best movie about ghosts, and makes The Sixth Sense and The Grudge look like Disney movies. Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox) can see and communicate with spirits, and he uses his ability to become a con man. He hires three spirits to haunt random houses, then he pretends to get rid of them for money. This works out great until an evil spirit starts killing everyone in his home town, and only he can stop it. A dark, gory comedy.

An entertaining horror-comedy, slightly weakened by the occasional unnecessary crude joke. Danny Elfman's score lends Tim Burton-esque qualities to Jackson's similarly manic and breezy (yet commerical) direction. Jeffrey Combs elicits most of the film's big laughs. Some of the CGI effects haven't dated too well, but given that the film is nearly fifteen years old I'm surprised so many still hold up.

Stupid.

Fox's amiable screen personality carries this uneven blend of _Ghostbusters_ and _Beetlejuice_. It's neither as funny nor scary as it's intended to be, but it is diverting.

Great work by Jackson and his WETA team!! With an extraordinary fabulous Combs. Definitely his best acting ever! Nearby a great sidekick by Full Metal Jacket hero Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. Hilarious !! Love that movie, one of the best Jackson Flicks.
