Review of Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) by Xdestron — 24 Nov 2021
The movie was goofy, with a hollow plot and nothing original to offer.
The kids were extremely cringe (A kid named Podcast? Really?). Paul Rudd and the old crew are barely in it. McKenna Grace, who people keep gushing over, may have been the cringiest thing in the entire movie.
I did not laugh except when it was unintentional. For all the people saying it's hilarious. It isn't.
They recycled literally anything they could from the first movie. It was essentially a barrage of nostalgia. But at the end of the day, my biggest gripe is that this was a dumb kids movie and nothing like the first one. It's totally different in tone. My Ghostbusters doesn't have any teen drama in it. How did we go from 4 grown men running a Ghostbusting business to teen drama with some ghostbusting on the side?
I wish I never saw this movie. I put this one BARELY above the 2016 movie. And I hate that movie.
At least the originals still exist. I recommend watching 1 and 2 and skipping this nostalgia bait garbage.
