Watched Ghostbusters Afterlife with the family this afternoon. Very enjoyable film. A worthy successor, and a fun addition to the franchise.

i still say ghostbusters 3 goes to the 2009 video game, but this was a nice follow up

Only I didn't like about the video game was that it was just a rehash of the first movie.

but it did let you relive those moments on top of that, you would finally rid of the librarian, whom which they never really got rid of in the first movie

I loved Ghostbusters: Afterlife. It was the best film I've seen all year and I'm so thankful it got made.

I thought it was okay. Considering that it has been over 30 years since the last sequel and that it is coming off the disaster that was the 2016 film, it was pretty good considering the instability in the franchise. It did a lot to pay tribute to the original films. It was able to build off of those things. It actually tried to respect the fans of the franchise unlike the 2016 film.



I don't see how anyone could not like it.

If I don't see it in theatres, I do hope it comes to Netflix at least.

Ok, so I just got back from watching it with my 7 year old daughter.



I feel like I would have enjoyed it more under different circumstances. The movie tickets were free through my emplpyer but paying $17 for a popcorn and fountain drink kind of put me in a sour mood heading into it haha - I also hate how the movie's start time doesn't include the nearly 30 minutes of previews/ads you have to sit through. My kid has a limited attention span so by the time the movie started we were halfway out of popcorn...



The movie itself was alright. I was kind of hoping for a more retro perspetive kinda like what Bumblee did for Transformers. I agree the casting for Egon's granddaughter was pretty impressive. The brother's character seemed pretty redundant and his relationship with the diner girl was way too reminsent of Stranger Things. My favorite scene was the romp through town on the Ecto 1, it was in broad daylight and it was a cool chase all together. The finale with Gozer was so anticlimatic, and the cameo was honestly kind of weak. I've watched the original Ghostbuster's movies at least 3 times each, but probably wouldn't watch this again. This may have to do more with my childhood connection with the films because who knows, if I were to see the original for the first time, who's to say I would enjoy it as an adult?



The coolest thing about the whole expreince hands down was that we were the ONLY people in the theater. We could laugh and chat, my daugter even ran down the aisles to blow off some energy from sitting haha and she liked it, which is all that matters.
