For me, the thing about the original film was, well, "Original". It was clever, funny and fresh. I loved the ad campaign that summer with just the "NO GHOST" signs everywhere. It sold itself.
Seeing "Reboot" connected with "Ghostbuster" just made me a little sad. Mostly that Hollywood keeps recycling instead of trying something new. I guess we shall see what happens.
To the original post, I don't think the costumes look bad. I just think they look rebooted. A half baked attempt at redoing something that's been done before. To me it fall somewhere between "original" and "homage". Problem is, I think these costumes "fall" right in between. Right in the crack, if you will.
