@@Ben-pd2bx I think it’s pretty presumptuous of you to invoke the opinions of a dead guy you never met to diss some movie sequels you didn’t like. Ghostbusters is my favorite movie of all time, it has been since I was a child. The new movies are lovely, the last one was a lot of fun, and Harold Ramos made Multiplicity and Bedazzled. I’m certain if he were alive he would have participated and contributed. The original movie is perfect, but no follow up will ever live up to that. It’s totally okay for you not to like the new movies, but you’re just projecting your opinions onto monoliths you’ve created in your head.
@@seekandannoy I base my opinion on the fact that Harold advocated for quality control behind the scenes on numerous Ghostbusters sequel drafts, on knowledge of his preferences based on extensive interviews he's given, and the mere fact that he was a highly competent screenwriter who would easily have identified the many glaring plot holes and inconsistencies in the Afterlife screenplay upon a first viewing. I'm aware taste is subjective, but there are certain things that are objectively true about sloppy screenwriting, that good writers can easily spot. Gil and Jason are not competent screenwriters, and it shows.
Amazingly, yes. Start to finish, and it's spectacular. Instead of the end credits we know, it's an extended instrumental version of the Ghostbusters theme song.
