Ghost is fantasy love story, the ending was so heartfelt & touching moment, I love ghost, I enjoy the performances by Swayze & Glodberg. Swayze suggested Whoopi in the first place, said he won't do Ghost unless they get her & because of him, Whoopi won an Oscar for best supporting actress. I highly recommend it for people to see & hope they enjoy it as much as I did.
I thought the acting in this film was very good. Patrick Swayze delivers a good performance So does Demi Moore. Whoopi Goldberg won an academy award for her performance though I thought it was a little sappy in the beginning but got better as it went on. I lose sight of how old this film is now but if you see it you will love it. It's more than a worth while effort.
Because it’s predictable and insults the audiences intelligence by trying to create a whodunnit, when we all know it’s Carl from the beginning, it has underdeveloped characters, swayzw and Goldberg had more chemistry than swayzw and Moore, (they’re not believable as a couple), ghost rules randomly change for the sake of the plot, milly really wasn’t in dangee. The bad guys just wanted the password to the account, they didn’t want to kill Molly, so Sam didn’t need to hang around to protect her
Just saw this movie today on HBO. Not Max, the actual live tv channel. Yes kids there is such a thing as tv channels and loved it again just like I did the first time I watched it. I hate Whoopi’s political rants on the view but her role on Ghost she totally knocked it out of the park. Cemented her legacy as a great actress. One of the best movies ever made. Rip Patrick Swayze
Yeah, "Ghost" is great. And it's really a shame what Whoopi has turned into. Same with Robert DeNiro, Rob Reiner, Cher, Bette Midler, Streisand, and countless others in Hollywood.
Roger was not only wrong here, he was insulting both Gene and the audiences who like "that kind of movie". He seemed to have a really bad attitude whenever Gene disagreed with him. Really, when anyone disagreed with him, including Joyce Kulhawik when they disagreed about Gladiator.
One of the few reviews Ebert got totally wrong. Ebert was waiting for a big emotional release? What movie was he watching? The ending was very emotional.
there is no release cuz demi moore doesn't rly say a whole lot. her character is underdeveloped and she's already crying most of the time. also under the "laws" of the movie it's like demi is accepting his death which is weird cuz she just saw him for the first time. it gave like some divine power btwn molly and sam which was a bit odd.
@@jp3813 I usually agree with Ebert 5x more than I ever agree with Siskel. But I'm w/Siskel here on Ghost, and every so often Siskel surprises me by liking a movie I do, that I'm convinced he's going to hate.
Can't be wrong if they're honest about their opinions. Can only be different from you. There is no right or wrong when it comes to liking or disliking a movie. If you think there is, then something definitely is wrong with you.
@@zxbc1 Actually there is. And there is a simple explanation for it. You only like what you like based on your knowledge and experience with films in general. The more you learn about acting, writing, directing etc the more acute your eyes and ears will become. E.g. you may have hated of loved a movie when you were young and now changed your mind because you are NOW seeing things your didn't know or notice the first time. Believe it or not there is a science to movies that requires certain elements to make it good.
If Gene Siskel, Patrick Swayze and Roger Ebert are alive in 2020, they will test positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19). But in the meantime, the end of the 1990 Paramount Pictures movie "Ghost" was sad enough to see Patrick Swayze go into another universe.
What does that mean? They're not filmmakers, they're film critics, they are assessing it as audience members not as peers to the director. And they recommend the movie based on how much they like it as human beings. And they provide immense value to society because they save you hours and hours of your life from going to bad movies. How is that not valuable?
I remember I saw a part of this movie on local tv where tthe train ghost guy is training swayze to touch things. i thought this shit was a classic but wtf. man, whoopi is fairly annoying in this. the "ghost rules" don't make any sense. i also looked up patrick swayze, man what happened to his career? i was expecting to see like a bunch of critically acclaimed movies in his filmography. rip thoe. i remember when he died.
The whole movie is a real Hollywood cornball. Patrick Swayze is charismatic but let's not pretend he's in the same league as Demi Moore. But the script is so pedestrian and formulaic it's honestly shocking how the marketing campaign ended up getting this film an Oscar nomination. Siskel likes them cornball movies made for white middle class folks, Ebert isn't the least bit harsh here.

I side with Siskel on this one.
I haven't got a clue how I got here, but I'm sure there's something else I should be doing 🤣
This is possibly Roger's biggest fail.
R.I.P. PATRICK SWAYZE (......
And Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert.
I thought the acting in this film was very good. Patrick Swayze delivers a good performance

It makes you laugh, cry, and scares as well.
Siskel & Ebert’s star ratings for Ghost:
Gene - 👍 3/4
Roger - 👎 2.5/4
How on earth can you give this movie a thumbs down?
I HAVE NO IDEA, MY FRIEND. 🤨 PATRICK SWAYZE'S DEAD, YOU KNOW?

@josephsarto689 literally everything you said is complete bullshit. This movie is fantastic.
Nah, those are legit criticisms of the movie.
@@josephsarto689 lmao! They are false and simply your crappy opinions
GUYS, LOOK. I'M WITH GENE SISKEL ON THIS ONE. 🙂👍✌️❤️ BUT HE MAY R.I.P 😉

Seriously, the penny scene and the very end are tear jerkers. Ebert was just a fat narcissist with no soul.
Exactly! Why could Molly hear and see Sam at the end? There’s no explanation at all
Nah Ebert got this one right. Pretty much a formulamatic movie with too many plot holes and ever changing rules for ghosts.
Formulamatic? Guess that's why it won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Hahahahaha. @@josephsarto689
3:17 - :54 It isn't a mistake.
it's a classic. These two are often reaalllllllyy off
Society is at a point where different opinions can't be respected.
Two? So Gene is wrong for liking it?
@@jp3813 Gene is wrong like 90% of the time.
@@Romans8-9 Including this movie?
@@jp3813 No, one of the few times he was right. XD
It was a great picture
I know you don’t think I’m giving this $4 million to a bunch of nuns!
Why would Sam have to use Whoopi’s body to hold Molly again? He just learned how to touch objects from subway ghost
He saw the guy in the psychic shop do it, he also was severely underpowered after the possession.
Roger must have talked to a lot of ghosts in his day.
Ebert just don't get it he is too critical , that was a very good movie , first movie I ever cried watching
How can you cry at this movie, it's so incredibly corny in the worst Hollywood way.
@@zxbc1 The ending is super sad.
@@zxbc1 YOU GODDAMN IDIOT IT WAS A SAD MOVIE
I remember the scene when Whoopi and Demi kissed at the end instead of doing the holding dance scene (mandela effect)
Great movie
That Kiss made much more sense to view Patrick swayze kissing her because that was his last kiss with his wife not whoopis
Roger was consistently wrong about so many movies.
As if Gene was any better: Scarface, Terminator, Aliens, Chinatown, Silence of the Lambs, etc...

I disagree strongly with Ebert over several things. I still adore the man and think his analytical and writing skills were top notch.
Ebert was hoping for some girl on girl action 😘👩❤👩
The set of Ghost was haunted by Patrick swayzea

Ebert is mad because Demi and Whoopi didn't make out
Vincent Schiavelli stole the show.
I hate that he died in real life. And people like whoopie speak about him in the past tense.
Why would she speak about him in present tense if he is dead?
obviously ebert has to play the bad guy, it's all schtick, I am sure he loved it as you and I did.
Killed by a murderer, lol
too easy to be a back seat driver or sunday quarter back....these guy provided little more.... I liked them but really....

That's because you've never tried it before. I come from a long line of ancestors who created clay pots together.
