Ivan Reitman seems to get a lot of flack for not being the best director to make the Ghostbusters movies, but as someone who has seen the movie easily a ton of times, I'm biased to loving every part of it!
Also some of the special effects looked tacky on the vhs I owned so I suspect the blu-ray will make things worse as well.
I loved every part of it, too since age 13! The visual effects actually look pretty good on blu. Not great, but not horrid. There's one exterior shot of the main building that looks more like a matte painting than ever before, but it still works. The transfer mainly suffers in dark shots. The scene in the lab after the opening logo looks particularly crappy. You can play with yer TV all you want but it's not gonna help that scene much, or several others.
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Recent screenings:
The African Queen (1951) - Amazingly enough I had never seen this movie. What a delight it was to experience. The blu-ray looked STUNNING. Absolutely incredible. The color was breathtaking. Even the opening title sequence was beautiful. One of the best blu-rays I've seen.
It is a damn shame that this film looks better then PATTON, AMADEUS and OUT OF AFRICA and it spoiled the hell out of me for how as you said it STUNNING older films can look and best of all...look like film.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Was like seeing it for the first time. A quality transfer. It looked huge and wide and crisp and clean. Couldn't be happier with it.

Disney over all has done a phenomenal job remastering their animated films for BluRay.
Beauty and the Beast:
All kinds of trouble with this release. Some character outlines appeared to be in blue. (Blue?) and there was a white "halo" effect around the animation line art. I also read they over lightened the film starting back with one of its DVD special editions. I seem to remember some "scarier" scenes being much darker in the theater, and thus added to the dramatic effect.
Regarding the white boarders around the line art and strange line art color I don't know if I simply got a bad BluRay.
THANK YOUUUUU!!!
Here's another sensible person.
Beauty and the Beast is my favourite film of all time, but i still refuse to purchase the Bluray.
Disney has messed up with the colors (saying that this was the original intent), and all the darkness of the original film has been lost.
In addition other scenes too, that didn't involve dark colors and shades, have lost their initial impact.

look at how the light was in the upper screenshots! Now this effect is lost.
The beautiful morning seems like late afternoon.
the only mediums that still have the original colors are the VHS and Laserdisc.
Disney has messed up with some colors in Fantasia too!
Watch for instance the Bach segment and those scenes with the circles running around.
In the original the background was black (or maybe very dark blue-black)
Now it's very light sky color!
Totally lost the impact it has!
