Ghostbusters Afterlife Review (Spoilers at the End) 

I can't wait for Ghostbusters Kills to come out in two years to see Louis, Oscar, the mayor, and Walter Peck to return lol

I loved the way they put the “For Harold” in the body of the movie and didn’t just tack it on after the credits. Very nicely done.

It may have not been the Ghostbusters 3 that we legacy fans wanted, BUT it was the Ghostbusters movie we NEEDED and it delivered. I can say since Harold Ramis passed I just always had this doubt in me that we would NEVER get that Ghostbusters movie that we wanted for years especially after that debacle we got in 2016. Then Jason came along with not only a new story that was set in the same universe and checked all boxes but it was also this tribute to one amazing man that if it weren't for his hand, we wouldn't have Ghostbusters today and that was Harold Ramis- the moment that SCENE happened my eyes instantly watered up. For a few minutes Harold/Egon was back and we had a proper goodbye this time. Hell the OG's for the time they had in it they nailed it and they finally did Ernie/Winston justice. If anyone deserves to be pushing forward that Ghostbusters legacy it IS DEFINITELY him and I would be all for it to see where it goes next. Thank you to Jason Reitman for this wonderful movie and made everything right again.

I fucking loved this movie. I cried. Me and my little brother (both in our 30s with full beards and tattoos) cried like little fucking kids. It was a banger.

I absolutely adored it, I felt like a kid watching the original for the first time all over again. That ending punched me in the gut so hard, man. That being said, I hope this gets a sequel because the new blood really did shine and I hope they can do it again

The almost spit take at Mikes score 😂 The kids were great. Pheobe held the lead very well and even Podcast was likable

I'm with ya J, this film was something really special for OG Ghostbusters fans, it hit all the notes, was a total home run as far as capturing the feel of GB, and at its heart was a total love letter to Harold Ramis and Egon as a character. I cried big man tears several times. I loved all the new characters too, especially Paul Rudd and McKenna Grace as the granddaughter. Busting makes me feel gooooood!!!! Hot damn it's a good time to be a Ghostbusters fan. Love your fucking faces boys, loved the review

Ghostbusters 3 pleasantly surprised me. They hit the right notes with nostalgia & the different theme music from the original. The end shot of Manhattan with the music coming on & the ghost container makes me think that Ghostbusters 4 could be in the pipeline. Woa I'm already saying Ghostbusters 4! 😆 8/10 marks. Ghostbusters 2 is a very good sequel, the hate towards it is bizarre. The actor who played Oscar sadly died at 28 in 2017.

Enjoyed the crap out of this one. Emotional (imo they did a very good job being respectful and poignant) but also has a few laughs and some creepy scenes, and the nostalgia didn’t hurt the experience at all, in fact the references (save for literally only one or two) didn’t seem to intrude my viewing at all really. RLM and all the people saying this movie is only for the people who can spaz out and point at things like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme like “OH MY GOD YES, I KNOW THAT!1” seem to kinda be taking this movie so seriously, when even the original, it’s a supernatural sci-fi yet mundane horror that had a dry wit sense of humor, has moments where if you think way too deep, it doesn’t make much sense. But I love that original regardless and I love this one. It’s 8.5/10 at the worst for me, 9 if I’m feeling Christmas levels of jolly generous, which seems fair to me, but who knows if my opinions will change, maybe they will, maybe they won’t.

This film was so good

I am right with you there, J! Ghostbusters '84 is my favorite movie of all time (22 years old). And this movie just was everything I had been dreaming of since I was a kid. I left the theater in tears with a huge smile on my face. A return to form, in my opinion. And Jason Reitman DEFINITELY chose the right form for this destructor of a movie. Got DAMN.

19:40 for anyone who needs the time stamp for spoilers

Rudd, Pratt, Downey Jr., Damon Wayans Jr.

Since you guys gave such a glowing review of this movie (we like the same movies and I've been following you guys for almost 10 years) I'm DEFINETLY taking the family to see this movie this weekend!

I had to leave so I wasn't able to see the second end credit scene can someone please let me know what it was

The movie was so good, when I watched it yesterday. I loved how Jason Reitman made it so nostalgic and how it felt like the every first Ghostbusters film.

It was very difficult for me to Not cry in front of my wife at the end lol

Consider this: Ray, Peter, and Winston face the effects of the containment field powering down again. Ray and Peter die, and Winston approaches the slightly older Pheobe and Trevor to help save New York, seeing Egon in them. Podcast hitches with them without permission. Lucky doesn't come. They face the final evil, Winston falls severely injured, and Lucky takes his place and they win. Winston lives but is out, and now we have the new four Ghostbusters. And then they don't try to make any more movies because they'll f it up. Perhaps Gary and the mom hook up and they move to New York for a new teaching job, or maybe they take an invitation from Winston to live there and get to learn more about Egon's life, or maybe Ray and Peter die helping to seal another evil being and Winston is just feeling guilty about Egon and wants a connection with them. They see things going to shit when Winston shows up battered and bloodied. Lucky somehow decides to come later for no apparent reason, maybe she comes of age and ditches the small town, maybe near New York for college, and she speeds into battle seeing her moved-away boyfriend and the kids on TV trying to save the world. Who knows why Podcast is even there. I'm calling it!

"If it's up to us we gotta take control... on our own" l had a moment lol

Nice review guys! I saw this and I really enjoyed it! It had it's laughs and was emotional. Also Gozer was the big baddie not Zuul, Zuul was one of the terror dogs that possessed the Mom. I teared up when they showed Egon in ghost form. The great shot in the film was when they showed the four original Ghostbusters on an angle. That was a brilliant scene!

Amazing movie definitely pay tribute to Harold Ramis Rip Egon❤️ the ending got me bad I kept telling myself I’m not going to cry but yep I felt like someone cut onions we all love you Egon

It was cool that they brought back Gozer and Olivia Wilde played Gozer

Omg now I want a remake of Summer school..Lol i love that movie as well. Great review guys.

I laughed loud at every dad joke. I can’t help it. Lmao

Just saw it in IMAX...was a really fun time!!

Uh, Edgar Wright would possibly manifest a Simon Pegg or Nick Frost casting which I am all for.

Really enjoyed this one, though it repeated the Gozer scenario a little too closely, right down to having the dog that the mom turns into do the same little look towards the camera. The only thing I'd actually call a disappointment was having Ivo Shandor turn out to still be alive, only to kill him immediately. It would have made no difference if he'd just been dead. Incidentally, Ray's bookstore comes from the second film, so this one did acknowledge it in the continuity.

I glad you guys loved and liked it. I thought it was very good. Looks like we will get another movie. The music score was great. The effects were very good - especially at the end.

Peter and Dana are definitely married. If you look closely they are both wearing wedding rings.

I cried like a baby with the ending. I know it’s fiction but it made me wish I could hug my mom and dad like Egon hugged his daughter and granddaughter one more time but sadly I can’t 😢

I liked it overall. Paul Rudd was a good addition to it. Wish we could've seen more. I get why they cast Finn from Stranger Things but Idk if it was editing or writing. But I didn't really care for his character. Could've been left out and it would've been fine. A few logical issues but nothing that took me out. Egon where he shows up...got me. He's my favorite ghostbuster. The way it was wrapped up was beautiful to me. I like the idea of him being trapped in the house after he died and in spirit, he helps Pheobe. WIshed we got a little bit more of that. Also, put some respect on Ernie Hudson's name! He is a great ghostbuster and addition to the film. And to find out he not only became a realtor and make a shit ton of money. He helped his friends when needed. Egon is my favorite. Ray 2nd. All four are good, but Ernie to me was the backbone of the team. Also, the idea of Ernie being the mentor/leader of another or more Ghostbusters team. Yes!! I think actors like Paul Rudd, Ryan Reynolds, Andy Samberg, Chris Pratt, Donald Glover, Jason Sudeikis, Channing Tatum. If Edgar wright were to direct and/or write. Have Simon Pegg and Nick Frost make a couple appearances as jokes.

I think Ghostbusters the video game was actually the Ghostbusters 3

Gozer not Zuul, is the big bad. 🙂👍

We had to have the funeral movie to grieve the loss and now we can move forward. Next team will be in New York. My prediction is that Gary and family move back to New York and Gary becomes super involved with Ghostbusters and one of Winstons (Could be female) kids and also Oscar (I'm sure they will give him a nick name like Oz or something) and Gary would be three and a female as well. The struggle will come from Trevor wants to go back to be with Lucky and Podcast also will come to visit for summer or something. Phoebe and mom struggling to balance life and Ghostbusting where the mom just still wants her kids to be normal which is why she is convinced that is what her father wanted for her so that is what she wants for her kids. And of course Slimer will return. Maybe Louis will come back with Rick seeing the positive feedback of this film. Peter Can finally retire but an appearance would be awesome. Ray and Winston try to work together to train this new team for the new threat.

Ray's Occult Books was only in GBII and it is in this movie.

Halloween kills extended cut coming too Amazon digital on December 13th

I think Ghostbusters 2 is pretty good. Never understood the negativity towards it.

hey its DANNY hope you both have a great thanksgiving

I said three years ago a Ghostbusters tv series would work on Netflix look at the Chucky series and how over it is…. Ghostbusters tv show would be fantastic with twelve hours to tell a story

We watched a movie theme the so-cal punk pop version!

I absolutely LOVED this film! Have seen it twice now and both times you can just tell the rest of the audience had a blast with it as well. Definitely gave me some Amblin films type of vibe to it at times. Agree to disagree with you guys regarding Phoebe and the Dad jokes, several of those I thought were pretty damn funny and the audience seemed to enjoy them as well but it's all good if you guys didn't care for them as much. Out of the new characters her and Paul Rudd were definitely my favorite. Glad you guys enjoyed the movie though overall!

I heard that there's going to be a halloween kills extended cut plus extended alternate ending on 4k ultra hd dvd blu-ray

Also TOTALLY agree with the James Gunn suggestion from J and Edgar Wright would be great too!

I think the Villain for the Sequel should be......SAMHAIN 🎃

The part that actually got me choked up is when the mom got mad at Phoebe when she got in trouble and in jail and the mom had that moment with her in the living room and she called Egon special and that he wasn’t crazy and “Why didn’t you tell me Egon Spengler was my grandfather?”

Gozer. Gozer is real big bad J. Zuul and Vinz Clortho are the gate keeper and key master are the demons Gozer needs to manifest in physical form. Btw, Gozer was played by an uncredited Oliva Wilde!!!! This movie was and is amazing. We (THE FANS) need to move past the expectation that afterlife is going to be the 84' Ghostbusters. It's just not realistic. It's like having the expectation that any shitty shark movie will top Jaws. No matter what we think as fans, this cherry has been popped. You can't see star wars for the first time twice. Follow? This movie is a movie in its own, and uses a trope that can only be replicated not reproduced. As for the future, it hope they do take a fully Winston funded new Ghostbusters team. I'd like for them to use McKenna Grace and bring her in and maybe bring in someone to play Oscar as an adult and other adults for a more established sequel.

It's nothing like the Goonies. The tones of the two movies and the acting styles are completely different. Goonies has lots of slapstick humour, ahead as the kids in Afterlife are much more serious, and more like the cast of The Monster Squad, or Stranger Things.

Love the intro music definitely keep it up!!

I was so excited to see this movie. It lived up to everything I had hoped it would be. I felt like a kid watching the original again while watching this with my kids. This is easily my favorite movie of the year. Viva Ghostbusters!

scream 5 is the only movie i plan on watching in theaters

I loved Afterlife, if anything it could've used more of the OG's if not for more development of the story. Janine for example. What was her part in all this? If she knew where Egon was how much support did, she offer him? Why did she not tell the guys about his demise? Ray found out through Pheobe a week later. I hope they expound more on that story as well.

I was a massive fan of Ghostbusters as a kid, (being born the year of the first movie so I was able to see both back to back when I was 4)getting the action figures, trap that you could open with the blue button, my own proton pack, and overall I really liked this movie. I thought the pacing was great for character development and the ending got me for sure. To quote zombieland, I havent cried that much sense titanic. Overall an 8.5/10 for me and yes I did stay for both credit scenes but did you guys know that McKenna Grace has a song in the credits? I thought the song was catchy as well.

Found a copy of Ghostbusters on vhs at local thrift shop and just watched it for the first time. Don’t look directly into the trap. I looked at the trap Ray

@We Watched A Movie I would do what you said have the guys training the kids up and helping out on missions also bring Paul Rudd back and a few others but I wouldn’t completely write the kids of completely I would have them in some capacity plus McKenna Grace would be 17/18 by the time they film a sequel and Logan Kim would be 16 so they would be young but not to young I’m looking forward to what’s next. Oh and yeah “EDGAR “F**KING” WRIGHT would kill it.

I liked it and was disappointed too only because it needed a few more ghost but I think they waving that for the sequel

GOZER ITS GOZER 🤣🤣

Crap! I totally missed the last scene.

Is it just me or did Force Egon look just like Steven Spielberg?

It's Gozer, Zuul is the name of one of the dogs.

Your videos are awesome and the movie was cool. Awesome channel.

Had fun watching this film...agree ample opportunities for sequels. I would like to see this crew continue, just my "feels"

This isn't for Ghostbusters. But ppl I havnt seen Jason vs Freddy shud I even watch it?

I wish Rick Moranis was in the movie and maybe a grown baby Oscar

Paul Rudd gave me the biggest laughs in the movie. Even something as simple as the way he walks in Walmart killed me

Ghostbusters 2 is canon. Ray is working at his book store from part 2.

When they make a sequel to this movie baby growing up Oscar will become a Ghostbuster

Loved it. Can’t say enough good things.

Water talked to gozer not zuul

I fuckin, BALLED my eyes out, so much crying with the stuff a certain character at the end, and anyone who says they didn't get misty eyed during that is lying, it was beautiful and I think done respectfully,

Gozer

For some reason I never really got into this franchise

Guys I absolutely loved the movie the end really got me good I was a blubbering mess lol but that end was done so well 9/10 for me I just loved it

Ghostbusters1984 was a phenomenal, 4-star rated movie and a HUGE box office success! Ghostbusters 2 was a box office flop and a huge disappointment. I'm old enough to remember the impact of that first movie and how embarrassing that sequel was. You can't compare these 2 movies! You guys are so wrong.

Mike was kinda a Debbie Downer on this one. lol.

Mike I bet your daughters loved Phoebe

The girl was great.

It was a good movie, I enjoyed it

Bill hader for a ghost buster

Someone is a DBZ cellgames fan…you know what I mean….kaaaa….meeeeee…haaaameeee…..

i watch the movie and it was fucking awesome and it was done right and it a big box office smash hit

Hudson may look the youngest, but he's the oldest at 75....

If ghosts are dead people and animals what the f#@k is Slimer and Muncher 🤔🙄🤣

❤️

MIKE DON'T WATCH GHOSTBUSTERS 2016!!! your soul will thank you:) and After Live was a good Add-on to GB 1 -2 and the Video game ;)

Lol Umm ok

Please watch 2016 again. I am the biggest Ghostbusters fan that has ever lived. The 2016 misses the original in a number of ways. But...there a lot of things that are good about the move. Leslie Jones is a blight, but if you go in knowing that she's there, you can look past it's flaws. It does a lot of things right, and Holzman is perfect. Also, Leslie Jones and Jar Jar Binks are the same character with all the same problems.

Spoilers how can you have spoilers when the movie sucked.

I felt nothing. It was a force ghost I can’t take it that serious.

This didn't make me cry but the originals aren't really that special to me

Why do people think this drum is good all they tried to do it is copy the first film but in a terrible way

Movie sucked
