Movie Review - Ghostbusters: Afterlife

I laughed and I cried; Awwwwed and applauded. It was more than a perfect homage to GB84. It added fun new characters that I hope we'll see moving forward in the Ghostbuster's Universe. And I want to thank the writer/director Jason Reitman for not taking a deuce on a favorite childhood movie, as is so often the case with movies the revisit our favorite universes. (I'm looking at you George Lucas.)

I was really impressed with the acting performances given by the youngsters. Particularly Mckenna Grace as Phoebe—Egon's granddaughter. Her performance was spot on, which is a testament to her acting skills and Jason Reitman's writing and directing. Finn Wolfhard was also really good as her brother—Trevor—But his role didn't have the demands that Grace's did. Logan Kim, as Podcast, was also really good. His character/role had the potential to be really lame, as is the case with many of the comedic sidekicks.

I don't want to spoil anything for anyone. Suffice to say the references to the original Ghostbusters are frequent and all done very tastefully, as if they belonged there for a reason and not just placed for the sake of placement.

I really think fans of the original will be pleased.

Grade: A+
