Ghostbusters Afterlife (November 11th -2021)

[greygoose]

No clue. I downloaded the cruddy camrip so I could see the 7 and a half minutes I wanted to see without having to sit through Stranger Things part 17.

I smirked a bit, smiled.....it would have been a nice little 15 minute short without shoehorning all that modern crap in.

Could been worse. I know they talked about Jonah Jill and Michael Cera as "Ghostbusters: The Next Generation" for years.

If I can get the figures I want from those last few minutes without any hassle or breaking the bank, I'd add them to collection.

As for the actual MOVIE....surely we've all seen it about 6 times based on the various clips and pieces Sony has literred youtube with.

The kid stuff is what's putting me off.

How about...it sucked!

you will be the first person that felt that negative about it…

why am I not surprised it would be on this forum?

I liked it, I like the fact that it kind of acknowledges the first 2 movies and the video game, but still this movies left me with more questions than answers in the first place.

I missed out completely missed out on the second post credits scenes because the kids had to go to the restroom but still!

I thought it was a solid 8.5 / 10 I had a grin on my face the entire 2nd half. If you have children take them to see this. The younger audience was pretty mesmerized those who stayed during the end credits. I think this movie will gain traction and momentum and be a big hit.

I really enjoyed this one too. This felt like a more natural passing of the torch than the 2016 attempt. I could see the franchise continuing from here and still keeping the original guys around in mentor type roles. It gave Egon a nice send off anyway.

They handled it really well. The CGI was impressive and it felt very organic, especially seeing the four of them together (despite how brief it was).

I was having my doubts but they do tie in the video game my life is complete

Honourable shout out to the FX team too. The Terror Dogs looked great (looked practical in the Walmart scene). Gozer good too.

I know I'm biased because the original GB is my all-time favorite movie, but I really enjoyed this. A little slow in the first act, but things slowly picked up. I was also worried about how they would acknowledge Egon, but they did it perfectly and I found myself extremely happy with the conclusion. The kid stuff was not bad IMO. I really hope this leads to more Jason Reitman GB films.

Well that could as easily have biased you against the new movie

Were you glad he didn’t talk or were you expecting for him to say something? I thought it was a good send off with him just being in the background and not saying anything.

I didn't want them to do a ghost Egon when I first heard this movie announced. But they did it perfectly. Just being there was great and his facial expressions said everything that needed to be said.

streamed a bootleg version ..it’s average and good to the original in source but taking the comedy out of a Ghostbusters film was a huge mistake..so I give this a meh to a Fail . Don’t know why there so many poorly Written characters..such a waste .

why are the media praising this is beyond me .

I enjoyed the movie. I thought the ending was touching and respectful. The kids and Rudd did a great job in the film. Reitman did a great job directing this and I thought it was a good film to continue the legacy. After all the sequels we have gotten to longtime franchises this was really one of the best ones in for being dormant so long. I always wanted to see the third movie and was happy when they at least did the game back in 2007 or so.

I thought it was pretty darn good. Loved the Phoebe character and the mystery surrounding what Egon was up to on the farm. The movie did drag a little in the middle, and all the Gozer/Terror Dog stuff did feel a bit too familiar and repetitive at the end, but they managed to change things up just enough to make it work.

Obviously it's nowhere near the level of the original movie, but it was still a worthy tribute and followup I thought.

Was there a reference to the second movie? I was keeping an eye out but don't recall ever seeing anything...
