Haven't seen it yet. But this dude made several videos in past few years with potential signs this movie was gonna suck.
But apparently it is way better than expected?
I’ll semi agree with that
it’s an 8/10 movie/ghostbusters movie. I’d almost consider it an epilogue to the franchise.
it’s on par with Ghostbusters 2
and in regarding Ramis
because Egons ghost cgi was made so incredibly well, to the point it seemed like they recorded a live performance and put it in the film with computers, I found myself unexpectedly tearing up as well

Obviously they need to wait until all the original actors are dead, then make a movie where their ghosts have to defeat evil professional big corporation Ghostbusters
fuck them

Honestly, it's a pretty good movie. It's like the Mandalorian - at it's heart fan service, but it's really good fan service.
It's got a lot of great quips, and the story is just wholesome, instead of being crammed full of woke bullshit.
Best movie I've seen this year.
Also, only movie I've seen this year, so take that for what it's worth.

This was excellent. Unlike the other abomination, this was very respectful to the characters and story of the source material. And how they handled Harold Ramis was tasteful as well. They played it similar to The Force Awakens, in that they had mostly the same story as the original movie, and thus, was mostly fan service. Respectful, and very well done fan service. Worth a watch, just a damn shame they had to wait 30 years and Harold Ramis dieing for them to finally make this, but this is the real Ghostbusters sequel that people wanted.
Also, no stupid sequel stinger at the end. They did their story, ended it well and called it a franchise. I'm sure if the studio decides they want to beat a dead horse, they could force one, but there is nothing in the movie that is made to bait a 4th one. Bravo.

I definitely took the stinger with Janine and Winston as a sign that they could do more movies. It more or less canonized Ghostbusters International from the RPG they made in the 80s, and showed that they still own the OG firehouse, and the containment unit is still running there.
Sure, it could be a final goodbye, but they still used the Ghost Corps logo at the opening too, which is what they wanted to do all the new movies they had planned to follow up That Which Shall Not Be Named, and which that movie put into a grave.

Great movie, kids loved it. I looked over in the theater and my wife was asleep. They don't need to do another one and they probably shouldn't, but goddamn that little girl scientist was great and clearly stole the whole fucking show. They make another movie or a tv series with her and her podcast sidekick and we'll take the family to see that too.

We ended up seeing this today on a whim. This and Dune are the first movies I've paid to see since Avengers Endgame....so about two years? wow. Pretty sure I won't pay to see another movie until Dune 2.
I don't know. Little girl scientist was pretty good, and I enjoyed the easter eggs. But, man....

Seeing the original actors again, but so old and weak...almost more sad than cool. Bill Murray seems so much older than even a few years back. Also, I'm still not fucking sold on how they handled Ramis. I'm sure his family agreed to that, but it was weirdly creepy. Sometimes its best to just leave things in the past. Hollywood needs new ideas. That said, this is miles upon miles fucking better than that 2016 shitshow. Paul Rudd wasn't bad, but he's almost always playing Paul Rudd.

It was entertaining, worth the watch, and a proper redemption. With that said, it was also paint-by-numbers filmmaking and formulaic Hollywood from beginning to end. When you really think about it, it contains not ONE single original idea.
I suspect Indy 5 will be similar.
-edit- Was I the only one who thought he would pop out of the charred dog and ask for orange slices?

We can now say we have a right and proper Ghostbusters trilogy. Very glad they got around to making the 3rd film in the series to tie it up.
Exactly, and I had the same reaction.... In all honesty, Bill Murray looked more like bad CGI.
Just got back from seeing it. I agree that it's in the 7.5-8/10 terrain. One big plot hole in the final bit but I can overlook it. This was an honest story continuation of the franchise, fits in well.
Now off to mine the salt of all those angry that it wholly ignores that overfeminist fanfic abomination from 2016.

I don’t understand why you are in the running for asshat of the year. Your persona is faker than a pair of Vegas stripper tits.
Edit: Auto correct fail.

Decided to revisit the original last night after maybe a 4ish year break in seeing it. Movie still fucking rules. Yeah, some of the effects are dated. But I can recite half that movie after 4 years of not seeing it and it still kills me. Every one of the major cast just slays it. And there isn't a slow minute in that entire movie. Might be one of the most tightly written perfectly executed movies of all time. A classic that deserves its reputation.
