Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Gruesomely sentimental.

[It] relaunches the franchise with a mostly funny and solid offering. Hearkening to the great movies of the 80s, this film follows a group of very capable and hilarious kids who save the world from destruction.

It has its moments... but they don't make up for a general flat-footedness and tendency to wobble.

Haunting, but not in the good way.

The film's main appeal is not what it appropriates from other Ghostbusters pictures, but that it's a nostalgic nod to the Spielbergian family adventures of the same period.

Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters: Afterlife is what one gets when a franchise finally throws in the towel and gives its fans exactly what they've been waiting for all along.

It’s a film that unwittingly says so much about where we are as consumers of pop culture, and that portrait is painfully depressing.

A sweet homage to the original Ghostbusters while still attempting something unique with the franchise.

Breathe of fresh air for the franchise. Funny, heartwarming, charming, exciting, nostalgic, & of course Spooky. It builds off of what made the original so good & never stopped. McKenna Grace though? SHES A STAR🥲

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a feel-good blockbuster that asks the same question: who 'ya gonna call?
