Review of Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) by Lambo442 — 24 Nov 2021

So much about this film is lazy or just doesn't make sense. The characters are shallow and its so unoriginal it's untrue. It's basically the same movie rehashed. Marsh mellow men make a return, for no logical reason whatsoever.

There are even some shots that are exactly the same, like the dog smashing through a buildings entrance and skidding to the side. Sure, it feels like an 80's film and his has that Spielberg thing going on, but under all the surface level stuff it's hollow.

Why can Spengler walk around as a ghost, move stuff, stroke peoples faces? sentimentality takes precedence over believability. He even cries! a ghost, crying? This movie is worse than the last train wreck even.

at least that film tried to be original. At the end the three originals turn up, their presence merely shoe horned in there for fan service. In fact by turning up and helping they negate the struggle of the protagonist.

Spengler even has to steady his granddaughters beam as a ghost. Talk about hand holding.
