To quote my letterboxed review, “all because they wouldn’t let that little lesbian bust ghosts”
-
Red shirt coordination gets an 11/10 👕
-
OMG I thought I was the only one sensing lesbian vibes from Pheobe and the ghost.
-
What you have to believe is that Nadeem's grandmother took her role of 'firemaster' sooooo seriously that she decked a whole room out in brass but not so much that she'd tell any of her ancestors what she is, what they are, and what they need to do.
-
Why do they keep flogging these sequels and remakes of old franchises? Hollywood is so lazy and bereft of new ideas.
-
Wait..a franchise sequel that's good?! Probably will check it out. Thank you for your review, brought a smile to my face.

I saw this at a an early screening last night. After all the most excellent films of the award season (Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest and Dune) I needed a laugh. And our screening was a fun filled love fest. So many cosplay ghostbusters turned up with amazing gear. Stuff was lit up, automated and realistic! Who knew? 🤷🏾♀️ Wish I could show you the photos! Glad you guys liked this movie. I also am over that character (Atherton) hating on the GB! I thought Phoebe & Melody were gonna get it on! 😂 I Remember Phoebe asked Dan Ayckroyd if he wondered what it was like to be a ghost. Maybe that’s why she became a ghost for a bit but we never knew if she liked the experience though it did turn out badly. I kept thinking: “this is what happens to lonely teenaged girls.” That podcast bit was hilarious to me also. And I loved the age-weariness of bill Murray and the dialogue between Ayckroyd & Ernie about chilling out in their golden years then rejoicing about ghost busting later. basically the plot was so full Of holes like Swiss cheese. My question is: Why were their (Ayckroyd, Murray & Ernie) uniforms so dirty? 😂 The entire audience was so happy after the screening ! Needed that! Thanks guys! 🎞️🍿❤️

Enjoyed your review. The movie mostly didn't work for me. I wanted to like it. Thanks for the great reviews!

The original was popular because it was funny and starred three of the most popular comedians there were at the time. People went to see it not because it was a ghost movie, but that it had three of the biggest star comedians of the time in it. Hudson even was perfectly cast as Mr. Blue collar there for a paycheck. The characters all had a hook. The nerdy one, the too cool one, etc.. These new ones just do not have that hook. The new younger GB's are just too nice and earnest and are not comedians. Paul Rudd the exception but there is nothing except nostalgia where you say, I want to see these new guys do Ghostbusters!
-
Bustin makes me feel good!
-
I ain’t afraid of no ghosts
-
That orb looks like the one chris hemsworth was holding in cabin in woods,with the inscriptions and everything😅
-
I thought the little lesbian girl killing herself to hang out with her ghost boo was a bit much.
-
Nick u look stunning and chic, Joseph u too
-
I ❤ nostalgia and this movie was everything to me!⭐️👏🏾
-
You said it - the new Ghostbusters crew lacks the humor of the originals, which feels like a major oversight.
-
Sounds fun. I'll take my nieces to the drive-ins for it 😉 This is the second video where your clothes match ❤ It's cute 😊
-
I hated the spirit separation part too, but I think the whole thing IS, he can only control ghosts, but an actual person needs to say the words, so somehow her doing what she did checked both boxes… that’s how I understood it anyway.
-
Excuse you.. Ghostbusters 2 is a classic
-
Wanted to like it. Really,really did. Sadly the whole family dynamic seems forced. The humor is forced. All the OG character scenes felt natural and real. But all the new technology, technobabble and new characters just did not jell. NOTE: the bad girl ghost Melody was clearly the spirit of the bad girl Snakebite annie from Doctor Sleep that Danny Torrance killed in the park, same haircut,same clothes, same attitude. So I guess the Shining and Ghostbusters are in the same Universe! That was the best new thing in the whole film.
