Ghost Audience Reviews

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
asc85 The most interesting thing about this movie before it was released in the Summer of 1990 was that there was no hype about it. I remember that Premiere Magazine did their annual Top 20 prediction list of what would gross the most money that summer, and Ghost wasn't even in their list of 20. But the critical reviews were high, and the word-of-mouth was so strong, that it ended up being the #1 summer flick that year. As I said in the Summary Title, anyone who can make Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg come off as being likable and sympathetic is a genius, whether that was the director, the editor, or maybe just a little bit of both.
Davis P This movie was a pretty big deal back in 1990 when it was released. It's the story of Patrick Swayze, a man who was killed, trying to contact his girlfriend Demi Moore who is in danger. He contacts with Moore through Whoopi Goldberg, who is a supernatural medium. I love to the actors in this movie and I thought every one of them really nailed their performance. Whoopi Goldberg won her academy award for her supporting performance in this movie, she's funny and delightful as the medium who really isn't aware of her abilities until Patrick Swayze comes into her life. And let me just say that I absolutely adored Demi Moore's performance here, she is one of the best on cue criers I've seen in movies, when she cries in that touching scene where she finally gets to come into contact with her dead boyfriend, it's just the most romantic thing ever and it's her acting that makes it work so well. The actors have great chemistry with one another, Swayze and Goldberg work well on screen and are funny and Demi and Patrick have incredible romantic connection. The visual effects are stunning, especially for back in 1990, that's one of the things this film was praised for back then. All in all, it's not like amazing or breathtaking, but it's an entertaining sweet supernatural love story with great performances. 8/10.
Chris Howard 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!
Filipe Neto This ultra-romantic film addresses two main themes: the power of love and the afterlife. The title may deceive, make us think that is another horror film about hauntings. Well ... it's about ghosts but does not scare anyone. The script is based on the sudden death of Sam and in his attempts to contact his wife, now widow, and warn her about a deadly danger lurking around her. Simple but effective, the script works well, plays with a universal belief, shared by millions of people, places deep questions and earned for its author, Bruce Joel Rubin, an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.The main roles are played by Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore, two experienced actors who don't have disappointed the public, providing us with very good performances. They have created a good visual chemistry, which helps to enhance the romantic mood of the film. Compelling is the performance of Whoopi Goldberg, one of the most striking of her career. She gave life to a funny medium that starts to be a fraud. The film also features several innovative special effects, for the time, and look good on the screen.
