The movie was pleasantly entertaining. A great tribute movie. The movie critics score is rude and malicious. See this movie and get ready to have fun.

We waited such a long time for a GOOD new Ghostbusters movie and now we have it. The old crew passes the torch in a respectful way and beside of that: This movie is lots of fun. Perfect popcorn entertainment. Don´t listen to the critics, just grab your popcorn, lay back and enjoy a really heartwarming Ghostbusters film.… Expand

Was it thatGhostbusters: Afterlife manages to stay true to the franchise's identity, while also offering a cast of strong female characters, diverse actors, all without alienating the fan base that has kept Ghostbusters alive for so long. Was it that hard?

I loved this film, this is how you do a passing of the torch film, not just ignore everything that's happened before then, disrespecting the franchise and history in the process. I really look forward to another film. Shame on all the professional critics review bombing this film, everyone can see what you are doing from a million miles away and you've lost all credibility, that is, if you've ever had any to begin with.… Expand

It handles the legacy with care and respect while adding new great characters atop of lot of good fan service and humor. A great conclusion to the trilogy (The 2016 movie is a reboot and was even excluded in the DVD / Blu Ray collection). I say that the team behind the movie fully understood what made the Ghostbusters franchise so good, appealing and loved by fans. The story is set in 2021 long after the other movies and introduces new characters. I cant spoil the introduction scenes so lets get to a set up after this. Callie is a divorced mother and struggles financially with her two kids Trevor and Phoebe. When her estranged father dies in a small town in the middle of nowhere she moves there to start anew. However her father was more than it seems and this will change them all as strange events happen. It sounds not that good in this description and it is mostly because I have to avoid spoilers but it is truly great. The story has everything I wanted, is strong from start to finish and at the climax I had tears in my eyes. This is how you should finish a trilogy and set up new characters. I want more of the new cast and I am deeply satisfied with the conclusion. Before I continue with the cast lets take out a lie from Ghostbusters 2016. It was not disliked because of diversity or a female cast. The new cast is more diverse and is loved by fans. 2016 failed because it did not understand the Ghostbusters legacy and they even mocked it while the target audience liked this for decades. Now lets continue with the great cast. I am still impressed by Mckenna Grace as Phoebe. Such a great performance and I have only praise for her. Carrie Cohn as Callie is also really good and fully delivers. Finn Wolfhard as Trevor rounds up the family and does a great job too. Those have such a good chemistry that they never fail. The rest is also impressive. Be it Paul Rudd as Gary, Logan Kim as Podcast or Celeste O’Connor as Lucky Domingo. All characters are amazing and I want more Ghostbusters movies with them. Of cause there are more characters and I wont spoil them but you will get emotional moments, closure and a conclusion that I would use in film school for how to give a conclusion that pleases all fans. There is also a lot of fan service but everything works well, gives nostalgia and enhances the story. The humor is spot on and entertained me and my friends well. Like expected the special effects are great and capture the style of the old movies. Again plus in my book. The soundtrack is impressive too and of cause Ray Parker jr. timeless classic is present. Again they did everything right which is a fine description for the movie. Overall this was worth watching in cinema and I recommend it without exception to anyone who like the first 2 movies. I admit that the movie might not be a 10/10 but the satisfying conclusion and fixing the franchise is worth a bonus.… Expand

TheThe film ignores the awful "Ghostbusters" from 2016 and makes a very direct reference to the very first film. And that's a good thing. The plot creates a bridge from our old friends to a new generation, and much remains in the family. The creators around director Jason Reitman, the son of Ivan Reitman, are very respectful of everything that has been established so far in the Ghostbusters canon. For me, this is proof that sequels nowadays don't always have to come off as woke and thus upset the fans. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is fun, brings back memories and continues the story, even with a sad side. Of the actors, Mckenna Grace as Phoebe cuts a particularly good figure. In short, successful entertainment all around.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was great; my favorite Ghostbusters movie since the original. The visual effects were exceptional; some of the best I've seen in awhile especially the terror dogs and the mini stay-puff marshmallow ghosts. Mckenna Grace's performance was superb also Logan Kim, Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Annie Potts, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Celeste O'Connor, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Olivia Wilde gave pretty great performances too. The writing especially the screenplay was excellent; the dialogue was really funny loved the jokes that were written for the character Phoebe that her character comes up with. The makeup, hairstyling, and costumes were terrific especially on Mckenna Grace. Also the music was great.… Expand

The kid actors done a great job and had superb chemistry together, giving me vibes of the Breakfast club, Goonies and E. T. all in one movie. A cameo of the previous cast was a welcome surprise, but the new cast done so well, that it would have suffice if only them were on screen. Learning about the passing of Harold Ramis as Egon Spengler, I was amazed they put him back to life with CGI, and I didn't even notice it was computer generated imagery. The lighthearted humor of the movie made it a pleasant watch and I would not mind seeing the entire cast for a next installment!… Expand

That was an incredibly subtle, clever and accurate point of characterisation.

What a beautiful love letter to all the fans of the originalI imagine Leslie Jones (when/if she was watching this) felt the same pain when she was slapping the **** out of Melissa McCarthy. Who feels like a dumb blue checkmark now?

What a beautiful love letter to all the fans of the original Ghostbusters. And updated perfectly to 2021's sensibilities without being woke, or insulting to any one group of people like Hollywood is wont to do these days i.e. the Midwest representation.

Not sure why people are unhappy about this because while yes, it's very Force Awakens-y, it did something really well with Egon's granddaughter's journey to finding her place in the world.

This is a damn good movie for any child to learn about confidence. I'd have one if I could, grow it in a special chamber just to let him/her watch this and feel good about growing up.

Its the best Ghostbusters movie that they could of had, explanation of the death of Egon ( Actor harrold Rammis) was done with the up most respect. I dont understand the people complaining about all the nostalgia... because they tried a film without all that and it bombed at the box office, reading other critic reviews you can tell there is toys being thrown out the pram becuase the film they raved about in 2016 was not good. I will admit the film is for the fans, but even my Mrs loved the film and was crying by the end. a well written well executed movie respecting what had come before and setting up for a possible future of the franchise.… Expand

I have now watched GBAL twice this week; once on Wednesday during the limited release, and last night (11/19) as well. Some are negatively criticizing the film as having too much nostalgia/fan service without focusing on other aspects of it.I have now watched GBAL twice this week; once on Wednesday during the limited release, and last night (11/19) as well. Some are negatively criticizing the film as having too much nostalgia/fan service without focusing on other aspects of it. Obviously the premise of busting ghosts remains, however if it didn't, then it wouldn't be Ghostbusters, would it? While that premise is obviously needed, the story itself is excellent. While Egon's actions prior to the movie may have seemed extremely uncouth, his reasons were solid, and absolutely necessary. It is a pleasure to see how the new generation interacts with the previous, and indeed have their own chemistry among themselves, as well as how they interact with the originals.

While Ghostbusters in all of its original universe iterations are solid comedy, this one included, there are a few moments of true horror, though extremely brief, (read: jumpscares) that might be a bit much for young audience members. Mild discretion is advised on that account.

The music, while original, definitely plays appropriate homage to Elmer Bernstein's score. Just listen, and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Lighting and sound are fully on point without hesitation or reservation in thought. Special effects are obviously far more advanced in ease of execution than the original films, however aren't overdone or present for their own sake. Truly well done and deserving of appropriate credit for subtlety when needed. As for the comedy aspect, it's completely solid. While it may not have the easy, cerebral depth the original film had, the humor is entirely and completely solid without being hackneyed, stilted, or self-serving for its own cause. The times when you will laugh are hearty and out loud, though not overdone or bloated. There are also plenty of softer chuckle moments for those who enjoy them. All of the laughs in the film flow naturally from truly genuine humor, and make for an authentically entertaining film. If you're on the fence about seeing it, or are confused by the somewhat mixed reviews, be not afraid! It's a genuine film with its own heart and soul, fully deserving of the affection with which fans of the original universe franchise are so willing to give it.… Expand

The film offered closure on the main cast, it introduced us to the next generation of family members and it showed us that taking the jump into the unknown doesn't have to be scary or fail. Where the 2016 failed in trying to be funny and over explain everything, afterlife succeeded. The story was great, it had scary moments, comedic moments, sad moments and paid homage to family and the love and respect they had for Harold. I don't think we could have asked for a better swan song and a Segway to relaunch the franchise for the next generation of Ghostbusters. I go to the cinema to enjoy and be entertained by a film, not to have gender identity politics rammed down my throat and this achieved that, the cast were brilliant and the handling of gender swapping the lead role was done brilliantly. Many in Hollywood and the wider film industry could learn from this, films are created for cinema customers to be entertained and offer escapism, not for critics who want identity politics and real world issues. To me Ghostbusters Afterlife is by far the best film I have seen in a long long time, it made me laugh, it made me scared, it kept me entertained and it made me cry.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just watched this movie on IMAX and felt it paid homage to the original while at the same time creating its own tale. The movie is truly both a coming of age movie and a literal passing of the torch movie. I felt the movie was less a comedy about ghosts , but as ghost story that had elements of comedy within it. Whereas the original version went fir over the top laughs, this one tries to give a more dark and foreboding feel to it. The movie opens with an action sequence that makes the audience wonder who or what is the main villain and then over the course of the movie it paints a picture to explain the lore of the Ghostbusters and how it fits into modern timelines. Overall, good movie.… Expand

I went and saw this with my two sons 10 and 13 - I say this because personally I grew up with the ghostbusters and know the first two movies almost line by line so my thoughts will of course be biased. I think that if you know the first movie at least you will be in for a treat although the knowledge is not entirely needed as my boys absolutely loved it - my oldest even cried at the end (I don’t think there was a dry eye in the theatre) outside of fan service it’s a great movie that keeps the ghostbusters spirit alive, it can get downright scary and serious at times but is lighthearted and fun as well - it feels like a true ghostbusters movie with a gritty modern coat of paint. I am appalled at the negative critic reviews - not only is this a classic but it does a great job of honoring the late Harold Ramis. For those of us that grew up with the franchise and never got a third movie (outside of the game that released over a decade ago which was great in its own right) this is what you have been waiting for. For younger people this is enough to ignite a love for this amazing franchise - my boys loved it. For the reviewers who think this wasn’t good enough? I hope you lose your job, the difference between audience and critic reception is staggering, you have obviously lost touch with what people like.… Expand

It is filled with plenty of call backs that will establish itself as a knowledgeable successor to a beloved franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn't expecting to be touched by this movie, cinema for the last few years has been lacking. So my expectations were low, especially in regards to the 2016 film as films appeared to only be about content less content. In contract, Ghostbusters: Afterlife was fun, wholesome, original and uplifting. It was refreshing to go to a theater, pay a bunch of money, and actually being entertained. It was almost shocking how good this film was.
After seeing the character development, especially that of Phoebe Spengler (McKenna Grace), playing a character who is someone who is not neuro typical, brought me to tears. My daughter was recently diagnosed as not Neuro typical. So when I saw Phoebe's character develop into a thriving, confident, butt-kicking character, it really touched me. Thank you for writing this, and for McKenna Grace portraying this character. Keep it up.… Expand

Does it stand on its own without relying on nostalgia and the strength of the original?

Also no.

But you know what? It didn't have to. Ghostbusters Afterlife was exactly what it needed to be.. a loving homage to a beloved film series and a touching family film with just a hint of the subtle "horro" the original brought to the table. There were parts that made me jump.. parts that made me laugh.. and, most importantly for this film, parts that made me cry. I don't admit this lightly, the end of this film hit me hard and I loved it!

I understand some folks being put off by the reluance on nostalgia and rehashed story beats... but I DON'T CARE! As a fan who saw the originals in the theaters as a kid, and taking my children to see this one now... when so many terrible and half-hearted sequels have been shoved out 9ver the last decade...... this was precisely what I wanted and I can not stress enough how much I appreciate everyone involved in this movie for bringing so much passion and respect to a franchise that so important to me.
