Ghostbusters: Afterlife

anna_6792 shared a tip "I thought I wasn't going to like this movie. But it turns out I did like it. The storyline was good, the actors were great especially Paul Rudd. I'm actually hoping to see where they are going to take this."

jim_woehr shared a tip "***1/2: Ghostbusters: Afterlife lacks character build up or an original story but has plenty of heart and charm. It also has a nice 80’s family movie feel to it. It’s not a spectacular movie but it’s a nice movie. Yet it still will probably make you wish there was more to it despite being a pretty decent return of the series. That is still at least more like the original than the 2016 movie. Even if it pretty much acts like more didn’t happen after the 1984 incident. Some fans might not like that"

harvey_f_smith shared a tip "A good restart and nods to the original two Ghostbusters, but the film has the feel of the past films while bringing a new audience into the fold of hunting ghost and saving the world. It also has a good send off to the actor Harold Ramis and his character Spengler as he pasted many years ago."

teralby shared a tip "Not bad. The first half is pretty good then it descends into a sentimental rehash of the original movies. Overall it's just okay."

melly_loveee shared a tip "I liked it. I didn’t see any of the original films, but I did like this one. I thought it was heartwarming and many times it was funny."

kevin_simons shared a tip "As someone who mostly avoids nostalgia, I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I liked it. The brilliant casting of using the greatest voice on the planet for Gozer helped tremendously, too."

despondent_hull shared a tip "If you liked the original films or are down for something like Stranger Things Fluffy Comedy Edition, this will fit your socket just fine. It's full of nostalgia and competently directed. Pacing is generally good, with some slow moments, and the kids fill their characters well. Given that, expect some reskinned plot elements and "aren't kids cute" bits. The trailers sold a lot of the flick's thunder, though there are some nice beats that aren't spoiled. #smartgirlsrock BTW, I've never seen the 2016 film and I'm not in a rush to.That said, this film takes a step back from some of the more sexist bits of the original films and gives women more depth and dignity. I'm mainly speaking of the protagonist here (the young Mrs. Spengler) and the Sigourney Weaver bit. It's not a feminist film by any stretch. It simply takes modern gender issues in stride and get on with the silly. I really liked that the jokes weren't grounded in how obnoxious, snarky or inappropriate the characters could be."

nikki_johnson_6819 shared a tip "My mom told me the other day that "Ghostbusters" was my favorite movie when I was younger. I believe it because 1. my invisible friend was named "Slimer", and 2. I got misty-eyed when I watched this one. Just throw the 2016 one away and just keep this one. Call me crazy if you want to, but the misty-eyed-ness was because it was a surge of nostalgia that went through my body; to see the original "Ghostbusters" get together again. 😭"

liz_4338 shared a tip "So much better than I expected. It was really cute and I loved how they honored the original films. Love the stay puffed marshmallows 😀"

jerome_chao shared a tip "I really enjoyed how they put egon as a ghost and how the Ghostbusters trapped all the ghost with a very huge trap and also trapped gozer that was unbelievable how they could trap the evil gozer into a trap that way beyond imaginable"

natetheworld shared a tip "As our characters embarked on the final showdown and some huge reveals made their way to the screen, I knew this film had accomplished its goal. It did not ruin my childhood. Rating it 4 out of 5 stars is probably a bit too generous, but I told you I am biased. If you want the truth, find a critic who hated their childhood. This one was a lucky kid."

angela_tyson_8848 shared a tip "I thought I wasn’t going to like it but it was funny. I got the feeling that Phoebe is on the spectrum,l have a teen son that is so that was great to see with my kid."

anxious_ash shared a tip "My husband and I love movies, but we are always wary when it comes to a remake or in this case, a continuation of the storyline, especially in the day and age of nostalgia remakes. Now with that being said, we had to think REALLY hard about what we didn't like about this movie! The director did amazing by his father (the original director) and his work with Dan Ackroyd showed the appreciation for the original movie. It is a beautiful tribute to the late Harold Ramis and the OG film. Go watch this"

jasonwright shared a tip "Of course it's a nostalgic walk down a familiar path, but it creates a new direction with a new cast, and the potential for more story to come."

vanessa_grace_de_gu shared a tip "Yeah it was nostalgic for us because we loved the original Ghostbusters. Hopefully we can get to watch the new Jurassic World movie 😊"

beki_hentos shared a tip "This was not only beyond fun and entertaining, there are many touching moments in tribute to the original and to Harold Remis! Non stop fun and well worth a watch!"

kelsey_suddarth shared a tip "Anyone who watched the original movie, Watch It! I’m not going to tell you why I’m not GOING TO TELL YOU ANYTHING (other than that there is an extra scene after the credits) Go... Watch... It!"

porterhaus shared a tip "I watched this movie with my 13-year-old daughter. She is really into movie lore and backstory so it was great to spend time with her helping her to recognize the easter eggs and sharing with her something for my past that is now something new to her. The director did a great job as well as the actors. The movie is just fun!"

kate_fitzsimmons_4853 shared a tip "Huge Ghostbusters fan - this was exactly the movie fans needed and I’m hoping they’ll do more in the future. I cried throughout the entire thing at random moments, laughed at times… it was everything I hoped for"

matthew_stephens_3418 shared a tip "I can appreciate how well directed and constant moving this film is, but if your not a Ghostbusters fan you won’t get too much out of it. Paul Rudd is a standout here like always, very charismatic and the child actors do surprisingly well for you know being child actors. Not too bad at all. I recommend it."

Lofighost shared a tip "I went into this movie with low expectations but was completely BLOWN AWAY! Amazing sequel to an amazing movie. Very well done! Great movie and I can’t wait to watch it again! #whoyougonnacall"

trivina_oldenberg-johnson shared a tip "I really enjoyed the movie with my daughter. It start out slow in the beginning to explain the Ghostbusters movie for the younger generation. Then it kicked off excellent with action. It brought back memories for the last ghostbusters movie. To me it’s a must see."

jane_bownes shared a tip "Anybody who loved the original is going to enjoy this. It's a love letter to the fans. I found the ending a little cheesey, but as I knew the back story about Harold Ramis I got it completely."

emma_hall_3702 shared a tip "It kept me engages for the duration of the movie. Not to mention they brought back 3 of the original 4 Ghostbusters, and tbh, I personally related to the main protagonist. Very good movie overall. Well made."

lauren_rudolph_1250 shared a tip "I love this movie so much. It’s super funny. I saw it with my friends and then I took my mom to go see it. For people who haven’t seen the original Ghostbusters you might want to see that. There will be parts that won’t make sense if you haven’t seen the original."
