I'm closer to the tomato score.
Were this The Marvels people would be screeching about the black girl, etc.

Have you already seen it?
How high do you rate it?
Is it better than the previous movie?

Yes. Did you not see my plushies & trap? The trap was $25 & the plushies were $11 each. It was paced poorly. Several dull spots. They added too many characters. I would put it on the level of the 2nd movie. I gave it 2.5 stars out of 5 |

He has stopped acting many years ago.
He only does some voice-overs sometimes.

I really don't see NYC electing Dickless as mayor & his scenes aren't that fun.
I didn't care for the while "Ghostbusters are losers" in the 2nd movie & they're sort of there in this. The team is still popular with New Yorkers, but damage for laughs isnwaynoverplayed. I suspect the original team could have handled the first trap better. Winston has a foundation, but can't get Ecto-q running in better shape?
Nadeem was just annoying & really wasn't necessary because his whole "learning to use his ancient power" was half-assed & not really thought out.
So yeah, there are some familiar tropes they could gave avoided.

When you say the second movie, do you mean Ghostbusters II? So are you saying this is better than Afterlife? Was the plan all along to bring the originals back, or did they just succumb to that because Afterlife had a very brief half-life? |

Was the plan all along to bring the originals back, or did they just succumb to that because Afterlife had a very brief half-life? They learned from 2016 the fan base is locked into the original stuff so. Yeah. It felt like they could have done a good movie with the news, but they knew they needed the old guys so they paired Ackroyd up with the girl & a Korean kid. The story was mostly her angst. Mayor Dickless is trying to shut the Ghostbusters down so the destruction they cause plus the kids are not getting paid so child labor law violations put them on thin ice so Phoebe had to stop ghostbusting so angst. She meets a ghost she likes who is actually just using her for the big bad... So Aykroyd has a sizable part Then Hudson. Murray is in like 3 bits? He tests Nadeem. Then shows up for the final battle. The mom character doesn't have much, nor does the BF. The boy(wolf whoever) also seems to just be there so no one will bitch he's not there. He has a running battle with Slimer. So lots of call backs to the original which is probably why the audience rating is double the critic rating. Otherwise lots of the DEI stuff people bitched about in Marvels As for the extras, the trap is just a plastic model of the ghost trap (for $25) The plushies are cute. Maybe a bit expensive. Slider isn't a good match but the 3d glasses marshmallow plush is better & the smores one is even more cute |

And how come it took this long for a follow-up? (Although I have my suspicions -- not much demand, not much enthusiasm, etc.) From what I could see of the trailers and some scenes for Afterlife on cable, Afterlife and Frozen Empire look nowhere near as funny as the first two movies, but especially the first movie. And that was the original point of the first movie. Comedy. I'm sure the alternate universe Ghostbusters with the female cast of comediennes was more focused on comedy. Although that didn't do as well, either, obviously because in the end, nothing compares to the original. But I'm sure the female Ghostbusters was more in the spirit of the first two movies. As in, the spirit of comedy. |

The fan base hated it even though every one of the original team plus Sigourney Weaver & Annie Potts showed up. They even had a bust of Egon since Ramis had died. I felt it covered the subject better than Afterlife which felt like a giant callback to the original. Which is this one. We have to sit for a lot of plot we really don't need. Like the effort to get everyone in on the battle-all the adult struggle to pull a lever to beat the baddie. Felt like anime all together now! |
