Girl spengler and Ant-man were the only parts of Afterlife that I liked. They should have ditched the rest of the new cast.

How ironic and sad that they put Patton "the angry video game nerd is just a misogynist who hates women" Oswalt is in this.

There's just something about the sound that ghostbusters hit from the original, the piano flourish, hearing the sound effects for the proton packs or the Ecto1, they bring back so much nostalgia and happy memories

Oh come the fuck on. There's legitimate complaints and then there's complaining to shitake edgelord. It was the perfect way to handle Ramis.

How about just not including him or the others and making something original and new within a universe where all this shit happened and is possible..........Oh come the fuck on. There's legitimate complaints and then there's complaining to shitake edgelord. It was the perfect way to handle Ramis.

It was all nostalgia bait. Both him and the rest of the old cast. And all the reference quotes.

I can't tell, you're being sarcastic, right?

Finally? There was only one movie that wasn’t in NY.
How do most naysayers in here even watch movies anymore?

The entire movie was about Egon.

"The perfect way to handle a dead actor was the reanimate his corpse with CG"
They used his voice for a while and I thought "hey that's a little exploitative but still subtle, I'm fine with this" and then that scene happened and I started laughing out loud because of how ridiculous the whole situation was. How can people this dumb handle multimillion dollar projects I'll never understand, humanity is managed by imbeciles
If Ramis' estate is ok with it, I don't see the problem. It was touching and deftly done IMHO. If Egon was to have a larger role then recasting would be better, I'd rather not see CG replicas of deceased actors in primary roles (or cobbled together stuff like Leia in ROS) versus a recast but I think afterlife hit it just right.

Jason Reitman is still friends with Violet Ramis (they grew up on the sets of the first two movies and Jason is in the second) and he had her read the script even before the movie was greenlit. If they were opposed it wouldn’t have been made.

If the spoiled kids of a dead actors who'll get plenty of money for shit like this (and I'm not just talking about Ramis here but in general) think it's OK for Hollywood imbeciles to desecrate their memory with CGI monstrosities and ridiculously tasteless member berries I guess who am I to laugh my ass off at this shit, right?

People didn’t even watch the movie. Even though it was the E.T. ending it was a great send off for the character.

You've got to be fucking kidding. Is that real?

It was a good scene, well earned in the film.

He apparently got an invitation to appear as a cameo in the 2016 one, and turned it down.

Still retired.
He was going to come out of retirement for a Honey I Shrunk the Kids reboot on D+ but COVID cancelled it.

The last time I went to the cinema to see Ghostbusters, I came out dissatisfied.
If it's the same as it's just a cameo from the original group for 15 minutes, I'll pass.
I don't like new actors, but rather classic ones.

I think new stuff is more geared towards kids. The origi was meant for adults kids just loved it.

Well, funny enough Ghostbusters 2 was clearly toned down for kids compared to 1. There was still a bit of adult humor occasionally and such, but definitely nowhere on the level of 1.

GB2 is one of the most underrated movies in history, largely because it’s following up one of the greatest films in history. Yes, it’s a retread of the original in many ways, but it’s still hilarious in its own right

Ghostbusters 2 came out at the height of The Real Ghostbusters popularity.

Wish they did a real Ghostbusters 3 in the 90s. 1994 would have been a good year for it.
