Ghostbusters: Afterlife

Gruesomely sentimental.

[It] relaunches the franchise with a mostly funny and solid offering. Hearkening to the great movies of the 80s, this film follows a group of very capable and hilarious kids who save the world from destruction.

It has its moments... but they don't make up for a general flat-footedness and tendency to wobble.

Haunting, but not in the good way.

The film's main appeal is not what it appropriates from other Ghostbusters pictures, but that it's a nostalgic nod to the Spielbergian family adventures of the same period.

Jason Reitman's Ghostbusters: Afterlife is what one gets when a franchise finally throws in the towel and gives its fans exactly what they've been waiting for all along.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a feel-good blockbuster that asks the same question: who 'ya gonna call?

Your spirits can rest easy now. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is proof that bustin’ still makes you feel good!

It’s the kind of entertainment that will probably appeal most to the already established fan base.

File away all you see here as ‘fun at the time and forgotten tomorrow.
