It was an amazing movie. it's a continuation of the original films. I loved that Harold Ramos aka Mr. Spangler was incorporated into the film.

Nostalgia can only do so much. The movie just didn't do it for me. It was slow for the first 3 quarters of the movie because they are trying to get the audience to care about the new blood. It was decent when the action kicked in but the movie is almost over by then.

Actually better than expected. Think I'll watch again soon!

BH

Could not have been better. Better story line and development than the first two but absolutely faithful to the origin.

my Son loved the movie

JG
Josh Greer

absolutely fantastic movie! Definitely a must see if you like the original Ghostbusters, and even then it's just objectively an entertaining movie that is also well cast.

GD
Gabriel De La Rosa

The film does some things different from the first two, like new humor and characters to appeal to younger audiences, but it's plot remains quite similar to the originals. Nonetheless, the film really shines with its main protagonist Phoebe and comedic characters Podcast…

The movie was so bad lol

SM

Took my son and had a great time. A little cheesy, sure. After all they are hunting ghosts. But as someone who was a kid when the first ones came out I liked how they tied everything together.

Richard Brown

It is all I hoped for from a Ghostbusters movie!

SF
Sam Forster

It was a nice movie. Sweet toward Harold Ramis and his character, Egon. Between the original and this one, that's all I need.

Love it, Fun and was great to see a fun movie again, and the original Ghost Busters

PR

solid continuation of the originals

AM
Aleksei Moore

this movie is incredibly boring, without any action, interesting plot, with empty main characters, in general it looks like a parody of the amazing TV show "Stranger Things"

This movie is one of the best I've seen in years. Lots of twists, turns, and an amazing ending. Paul Rudd was fantastic but the kids performances were even better. You will see this movie over and over again and never get tired of it.

Movie had one good scene that made me laugh, but overall was very slow and boring. Paul Rudd was also very underused and the movie was not going for much comedy.

For a sequel/reboot, Ghostbusters: Afterlife delivers the fun of the original, albeit in very different ways.

Nostalgia is fine in limited doses, but the sequel ends up feeling like J.J. Abrams directed Now That's What I Call Ghostbusters, undoing any of the goodwill established by the film's first two acts. The movie is trapped in the past so much that it might taint any potential future there might be to keep the franchise alive with these new characters.

This is a movie that is one giant Easter Egg, cracked and rotten and sulphurous in its stink.
