I saw it yesterday.

I immediately forgot about the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot.

I loved it.

The respect shown to the memory of Harold Ramis was wonderful, especially in THAT scene at the end.

No spoilers but at the end of the film, two words came up on the screen and I cried.

Happy tears, but I still cried.

A fifty four year old man crying over a 1984 memory which is still fresh in my heart? You bet I did.

So odd, I was JUST coming in to start a topic about seeing this today. I liked it. It was entertaining and sweet.

I liked it. Felt it was pretty much everything the reboot wasn't.

I have my nitpicks and in all honestly The Video Game was the true GB III that I think most fans wanted (and prefer). I've also been a GB fan across the board with both cartoon series and IDW comics. However since then we all know world events and situations have happened with Ramis's death and the abomination of 2016. Overall GB: Afterlife was respectful, charming and surprisingly funny. The child actors truly felt real and sincere with Mckenna Grace stealing the show.

My biggest complaints are A) who would have a child with Egon outside of Janine Melnitz and B) Maybe following the Gozer elements a little too much from the first film.

Picking it up on DVD today if only so we can see the mid-credits scene (Ash was being a handful in the cinema and I missed it).

Just watched it. 

There was a gritty feel to it that the first one had, but none of the sequels really copied as well as actually scary elements. 

And the stuff with Egon just brought tears to my eyes.

Good ol' Annie Potts' cameo was wonderful.

News of the station being turned into a Starbucks I did not like.

Egon's scenes were poignant, and "may" have involved an actual ghost, since CGI isn't generally that good.

Who knew the mini marshmallow men were such sadists?

But the part that bugged me was...statistically ARE most fifteen-year-olds virgins?

They said that, but in the post credit scene we see the firehouse is still there.  Run-down and abandoned, but still there.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
