Let’s agree on 1 thing, GB afterlife is better then the 2016 GB.
2016 GB? What's that? I thought it went GB1, GB2, and GB Afterlife..all 3 are pretty decent movies :)
Pretty sure watching shit dry is better than watching GB 2016
100% agreed
Anything's better than 2016 GB
I know the Ghostbuster 3 in 2009 in a form of a game lol.
If ghost sightings had died down for years, I could see a possibility that the other Ghostbusters might doubt Egon. And if Egon was convinced he had to abandon his family to save the world and protect them, I totally believe he would make that decision.
Yeah, i agree. They totally are just caught up in being children. But that's cool. as a young boy Ghostbusters was very important to me cause my dad took me to see it. I miss him.....
Also to be fair, we don't really know whether or not Egon didn't quote on quote "go nuts" in some form, sure he was ultimately right about the town, but they did established that with Ray that Egon "believed" something was going to happen and took off, he only gave Ray a call like 10 years later trying to get him on board, meaning that he most likely discovered the pit and the countdown years after running off. Sure it's convenient that they set it up to make it so Ray at that point wouldn't believe him anymore but hey shit happens sometimes in life.
Right! I'm betting Egon found out about the incoming event and went nuts lol The others were more than likely already at their breaking points and just ready to go back to regular life and didn't believe him
Its the same as Star Wars. 30 Years and everyone forgets about The Jedi ?
@@thelastlebowski3055 Actually it's more like Ted, 30 years later, no ghost sightings and the novelty wore off. People just stopped giving a crap about it. Its just like what happened after the second movie, But as we saw people know of them, unless you'te a really young, at least they are not considered a myth.
*SPOILERS*
I feel like a lot of these reviewers are forgetting that Egon’s ghost was leading Phoebe the whole way. That’s why she knew how to use the old tech and knew where to find stuff.
Also they failed the first few times they actually tried to catch a ghost. The original ghost busters caught Slimer without any practice at all, but these kids actually had to chase the Muncher multiple times to make a catch. So they didnt just write the new characters to be perfect.
Especially here on this channel they tend to do that a lot. They had a severe case of amnesia with Last Night in Soho, The Eternals and now this one. Those details they forget paint such an unfair representation of what is. It’s kind of annoying at this point how often it’s happening. Almost every review.
Plus, they completely missed the post credit scene.
@@cyanphoenix1414 perfect? they built their equipment and had a whole building slimer was already interested in. not to mention they destroyed that ballroom.
@@freshboyfab they did the same thing with the snyder cut and dune. movie clearly explains something and they don't see it
"There is a post-credits scene." Two. There are two scenes. The second one starts with a deleted scene of Egon and Janine, then sees Janine and Winston talk, leading into an opener for potential sequels/spin-offs.
Not to mention peter and dana with the cards!
Was looking for this comment! I was also about to leave until I looked it up and held my bladder
@@Mikebuster I saw that but not the deleted scene
Ah crap! I missed the second one.
Was the only one in the theater as everyone left and didn’t catch the second scene - thax MCU for making it a tradition to always stay till the very end!
Keep in mind when all four blasted gozer in the original she reversed it back to them, when they cross the streams was only to close the gate. Hence why he built the proton blasters to keep closing the gate
Also Egon said crossing the streams could trigger a nuclear explosion pretty much and surviving crossing them was a slim chance but in this it’s regular daily occurrence AND the old team just do it again off the bat.
so Gozer can do what Vigo does... reverse the stream...
Also Egon would have told them it would not work if he was alive.
@@rioharjuno You do know Gozer is powerful right. Maybe you think its slimer level power.
@@hamhockbeans you're right... it's better diclosed in the movie that Gozer is more menacing and shows that she posses terrific power which cause the end of the world (like Phoebe said "apocalypse" and Ray said "Judgment day"). Even muncher can fightback by its metal-split ability. maybe in the next sequel... Grandpa Vigo will tell us. :-D anyway GBA is still amazing & heartwarming movie imho.
Solid 7.5 with a 10/10 ending. Hope to see more Phoebe for sure! Absolutely loved the movie and it puts Matrix to shame with how to cater to nostalgia. Just a blast!
The matrix thing was a disaster!!! so dissapointing.
I hope we get a sequel to Afterlife but with Phoebe as a lead with new characters and maybe her brother is helping run the firehouse with Winston. Anything now is possible now that the old busters are gone.
They can make sequel based on the ghostbuster extreme , they hinted Winston will take the lead maybe as mentor
Slimer and munchie going to tear each other apart, walter pack going to appear. Just hope shandor still appear and become main villain
@@user-dv6nh3mu3y I hope so but think Gozar kills him it's the part I didn't like about the film. Him returning could make a similar story like the 2009 game had but with the new cast.
Saw the film last night and loved it!!! How they played Egon's character throughout the film was just brilliant!. This is how it's done.
I watched Ghostbusters Afterlife a couple hours ago. It was my first time in a theatre since the start of the pandemic. I have to say . . . director Jason Reitman and his team did a pretty good job. Watching this film, you can tell that a lot of effort, care, love, and emotion went into creating it. I liked how it covered what happened from the 1980s until now. The film never really touched on the 2nd film (Ghostbusters 2) though. That was kinda odd. In a nutshell: Ghostbusters Afterlife is a fun, cool, and warm-hearted, gift to real Ghostbusters fans such as myself. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
“He is Vigo!! 🙌”
Ghostbusters 2 sucks that’s probably why
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 that movie did not suck, Ghostbusters" 3 "sucked, Afterlife is the true sequel from 2
It was bloody awful!
Its clear as day by Winston taking the ecto 1 back that they are lining the second film up for a return of Vigo
I saw this last night and openly cried at the end. Almost everyone in the theater teared up. there was laughter through out the entire movie. THIS WAS THE MOVIE WE SHOULD HAVE GOT IN 2016
I cried too and I RARELY cry during movies. This is the movie I’ve been waiting for. I’m trying to forget the 2016 one exists.
Lol
lol
Weird, here in france people watch movies quietly, no clapping or crying
@@SaucisseMerguez Don't worry, these people are insane
This movie felt like a direct response to the queef crew movie, I absolutely loved it. So many Easter eggs
Eggs.....ovaries....and queefs oh my!
The queef crew 🤣🤣🤣
yeah! I loved Afterlife
Qheef 😆😆😆😆
@@Unsung_Earth prrrrtttt😆
The ending had me tearing up in a good way. Its a good send off to the original cast, and Harold.
Then ding was so good! Tears? I'm with ya. Lol
I found it corny
@@KalomikaArts same here.
@@KalomikaArts Then you aren't a real Ghostbusters fan. I'm 36, and when I was a kid I wore out my Stepdad's 4 tapes of Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, and 6 episodes of the animated series across two tapes. This had a few flaws, but overall it was a genuine, heartfelt, and great film that respected the legacy of the franchise.
@@Dartanyoogles eh, you don't get to judge my fandom lol, only i do. But on that, I'm a fan of Peter, Ray, Winston, and Egon. I don't care about these kids or whatever they family drama is. I've already watched IT and I've already watched Goonies as well as Stranger Things. This was a big budget Goosebumps and it annoyed me. I was too annoyed by the time the forced corny ending played out. The most interesting parts of the movie were the parts they talked about but didn't show. I rather see the beef between the ogs, Winston beginning rich, just life after Ghostbusters and something that brings them back... Not Goosebumps 2021
There was also an end credits scene setting up new movies with Winston going back to the firehouse. What didn't make sense to me was that ray said that it was a Starbucks but it's not in the end credits.
Yeah that's the only deal nitpick I have about it.
At first I thought maybe they bought a new firehouse but the Containment Unit in the basement confirms that it's the og place.
Yeah I notice it too
Winston had bought and protected as much Ghostbusters stuff as he could since he had the funds.
Maybe Ray was exaggerating cause he was pissed off?
Thanks for the tip. Missed this when I saw it yesterday.
I just got back from seeing Ghostbusters Afterlife! and it was amazing! and so glad they decided to keep the one scene a secret before revealing it in theatres and also paying homage to the fans and people of Ghostbusters! This movie is way better than the other one and now it's making me save money to get a proton pack, the trap, the Ecto-goggles, and the jumpsuit with my name on it.
I loved it dressed up and all cried at the end
"This movie is way better than the other one"
How dare you call it way better than the original?? >:(
Oh... Your're talking about the "pussy fart" one! Ok then! ;)
Yeah that got me! I was shocked to see them pull that off. Before that scene the movie was meh..... Maybe a 3'out of 5. But that ending.... I gotta give it up.
The director knows, if you're limited and you know it. Design a haymaker!! slowly build.....
And save it for last.
Endings are important and it's almost rule cause when i write it's like a slope going up. You have to deliver the goods at the end because no matter that's what the thing people will remember.
I'm grateful for this. and it got me. I cried I so did not expect it.
And I'm going to change review just cause that ending to perfect 5 out o 5
"I just got back from seeing Ghostbusters Afterlife! and it was amazing! "
HUAHAUHAHAHAahuahauhuUHAUHAHAUHuhuahuahuHUHAUHAUHAHA
Ghostbusters: WE’RE BACK!
I think Alex has the best take on this. I feel like there were some deleted or missing scenes, particularly when the ghosts get loose. I fully expected more at the police station with the cops reacting to this. Aside from that gripe this movie has a very well put together emotional climax and particularly during the first half some solid scares and tension building, I have no idea what angry Joe is talking about saying it was afraid to go into the darker scarier stuff.
This movie for me was a blast. It gave the vibe of an 80s adventure movie for the first 2/3. None of the characters were annoying or bad. They wrote this film to lay against the campiness and silliness of the originals without going to far. This was a great way to explore the events of the first movie and tell a new one without ruining anything. This felt just as much as a return to form and I am excited for a sequel that could explore more of this world of Ghostbusters. I agree with Alex that the film was good with the build up. I enjoyed the ending and big battle, but it’s true that they could’ve explored the original villain more.
Besides the kids not really feeling like a team or ghostbusters, Besides Spangler, nothing was to horrendous or bad. The Keymaster seen was pretty weird to begin with in the original and they went full crazy here. The original ending upon rewatch felt very rushed as well but done a lot better, so it doesn’t bother me that it ended quickly. Few nitpick things if you want to look at it critically. As someone who loves the original movie, this was a fun adventure. This is a great movie 8/10 movie for me. Surely will add to the collection and give more than 1 rewatch.
(Extra) Egons separation actually makes sense. The others were enjoying it as it made money. Once the money and business stopped they went on to have families and different jobs. They believe they beat the villain. It caused riffs between the group and they wrote him off as crazy and that he was just to into the job that wasn’t profitable anymore. Egon made the choice to put himself away to protect the ones he loved and to figure out how to end this impending doom. He didn’t know the villain was going to be the same, just that something was happening.
A return to form by abandoning the style of the original to cater more to families?...
@@Bound4Earthreturn to form in the sense of bringing back the original cast and continuing a true ghostbusters legacy story. Instead of abandoning everything like the 2016 crapfest. And even though this movie is clearly more family friendly. It still satisfies ghostbusters fans and audiences. Ghostbusters has always been one of the more family friendly 80s classics. Just as Goonies is watched by a lot of kids but some of the material and jokes in the movie are catered towards adults.
Hard agree.
@@Bound4Earth
Oh, so you simply ignored all the dirty jokes in this one, and just got upset that there was a family involved?
Meh, can't care. Enjoy being an edgelord.
@@juststatedtheobvious9633 It isn't just about dirty jokes. 2016 had them...
I saw Ghostbusters II at the theatre when I was a kid. The painting of Vigo absolutely terrified me! 👻
This is Vigo!!!
@@sallgoodman2323 COMMAND ME LORD!
@@othelloprime99 🤣🤣
Scaring
The ghost that stole the kid scarred the crap outta me.
Finally a sequel for a franchise that respects the fans and the movies that came before it. I'm going to be honest even if this doesn't get another sequel I'm completely happy. Harold Ramis must be smiling from where ever he is now, they treated him with such more respect than the 2016 one where there was only a random head bust of his face.
Lol I'm sure all that is because this movies directors daddy was the director of the original Ghostbusters movie.
@@vidmasterK1 The reason WHY is irrelevant.
@@nicholaskinkaid not really. How? The director of this movie is the son of the man who made and directed the first two Ghostbusters movies. So of course the son would give his father's world and characters and story a ton of attention and care and passion.
@@vidmasterK1 not always the case: the Dune books written by Frank Herbert’s son have very little attention, care and passion that those characters and universe deserved.
@@makasete30 this is a good point. Herbert's son disgraced those books
Zuul: "You want this body?"
Peter: "Is this a trick question?"
Egon leaving DOES make sense. Ray said "Egon didn't want to catch ANY other ghosts" He was obsessed with Gozer, to the detriment of the business. Then he RUNS off with Ecto-1, proton packs, and traps. It WAS Ray that financed the business remember. So he would be upset about that. The film rushed it, yes (but that might have been due to being unsure how much Bill would be involved). Having said that, it does work within the context of the existing canon.
But Ray surely would have believed him, Ray thought the sponge migration was amazing and is an apocalypse nut!
@@TheBeano132 Ray could have believed him but this was no excuse to miss out on busting other ghosts. Egon went a-wall and that can be frustrating, here you are Ray Stanz you put all your money into this, bit then your best friend outright blocks the help you need get out of a debt that would piss me off too. Its his right to quit Ghostbusters, he could have found a way to move to Oklahoma and keep the business in NYC afloat
Took all the packs yet ray Winston and venkman turn up with packs..
@@stewartmcminn7773 I'm sure they had more than 4. Ray didn't say "Egon took ALL the equipment." He just said he "ran off with Ecto, packs, and a bunch of traps."
@@MikeyJProductions
The way the 3 originals were brought in was total shit. A total joke and a shitshow. More time was supposed to be spent reintroducing them, instead of all that time wasted in the young ones just talking around town, really irritates the true fans
I thought I heard Ray tell Phoebe that he took all of the equipment. Anyways, I assumed somebody the mom or somebody told them where to get the packs in town.
"That scene" made me tear up and a perfect way to honor and homage the fans and people of ghostbusters. This is one of the rare cases for the fans only films done right.
I think it's one of the rare situations where the entire production execs/director and the actors truly wanted to honor their passed on friend who they loved. It wasn't for the fans but absolutely for Harold and his family. Ramis would have approved and loved it.
I was hoping they wouldn't show him, but damn...they did it very well and kept him quiet.
@@matthewrobbins663 well said
Honestly Egon’s role in this movie was almost exactly what I wanted for Luke Skywalker in the sequel trilogy. I feel it would have been great if it was revealed that he left because he was preparing for sidious’ return
nah
"That scene" has made me cry every time i think about it for 2 days now! I haven't cried at a movie since the ending of Terminator 2 when i was 7 years old! Thought the movie was mediocre really but that ending couldn't have been done any better and really paid respect to Harold / Egon.
I literally cried at the end that was an ultimate send off for me... I thought it wasn't perfect, but with the shit the franchise has been through, i think they did as perfect as it could get!
It's beautiful. I'm just scared that more will follow.
@@hotfroganimations me too I would not be mad at all if that was it. Wrapped it up perfectly for me personally
@@creativeguy1138 as much as I'd love to think that way, I know they'll find a way to ruin it.
It was brilliant. It was paced well to keep the story moving forward, with a farewell to those who've waited for this for years. I'm happy they pulled it off as well as they did.
Why don't you Turn your Brain off with Ghostbusters 2016 you'll get the same 6/10 or 5/10 will this Ghostbusters Afterlife...SMH
I wanted to be a Ghostbuster when I was a kid, and me and my friends would pretend to be. I thought my daughter was too young to see this movie, but she left the theater wanting to be like the smart girl. I told her Egon was my favorite Ghostbuster. Like father, like daughter. I cried. Lol
Clicking this after seeing the Redletter Media review. Let's see how this goes.
Pretty much the same criticisms, except where Angry Joe and company love nostalgia, RLM fucking hate it.
@@formaldefeat14 They all pretty much agreed that they liked the first half of the movie. I absolutely agree with the one point in their video though about nothing being iconic in movies anymore, we're just re-hashing the same crap we liked from the 80's over and over.
Why don't you Turn your Brain with Ghostbusters 2016 you'll get the same 6/10 or 5/10 will this Ghostbusters Afterlife...SMH
Watch the movie first before watching a review tbh that way you can make up your own mind and not be one sided just a little two cents
Why on Earth would you care what these game reviewers think when you already have a real critique from real movie reviewers?
The movie was filled with so much story and that one particular scene...damn I got teary eyed.
Same 😂 I had to lie to my girlfriend when she asked me if I was tearing up 🤫
@@tenacious645 I bawled IDGAF lol, seeing them all lined up after decades and seeing him reunite with the daughter and then the little 'for harold' tribute was just amazing.
does Egon come back as a ghost or something? my favorite ghostbuster
@@tenacious645 change your gf if you had to lie, just saying :)
“Missed us yet?”
Best line I’ve heard in a long time.
So much better than the 2016 reboot. And I haven’t even seen Afterlife yet.
It is
The trailers for Ghostbusters: Afterlife are a whole lot better than the entirety of the awful trainwreck that is 2016 film
What's wrong with the 2016 version?
@@remyd8767 cmon bro. I’m sure someone will say it. Just… don’t
This was just as bad as 2016
"I had to turn off my critic brain" joe always has his critic brain off lol.... always love other joe and Alex's perspective on film reviews, they are stronger than Joe with movie reviews on this channel
And Alex staring directly into camera when Joe says it made me laugh a lot.
The problem is Joe's critical ability is directly dependent on his emotions, which are easily influenced by familiar, nostalgic images. He's at his weakest when he's trying to be balanced and objective. Even his most forgettable game reviews are when the game in question is neither too good nor too bad
@@therealMrA Truth. Joe is always the one to give an extra point just because it was done in a universe he's a fan of. Except the Cowboy Bebop review, he tore that one apart. I was proud of him. But, yeah, you can predict Joe's score. He almost always scores it one point higher than Alex/OJ. I'm so confident that I'm posting this comment before he gives his score. 7/10. For sure.
Yeah, but it doesn't help that all three of them often make negative observations that are based solely on their inability to focus on the movie they're watching. Too many times they've been critical over things they claim didn't happen or were missing despite them happening and not being missing. Like they miss entire chunks of the movies they're reviewing.
Joe is a fanboy when he is fan of something he will forget, this movie was terrible.
You didn't see the final end credits scene with Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts??! It looks like the start of a series, but might not involve the kids.
The shot of the 4 of them in the end..... I almost started crying.
I started cracking up when they were exactly what is expected from those elderly characters in their 60's and 70's. Busting ghosts isn't any easier at that age
I watched it last night. Sure its not a perfect movie, will never measure up to the original, but, I FUCKING LOVED IT! I give it an 8.5/10 .
I can say one positive thing about the 2016 Ghostbusters movie, letting Chris Hemsworth work on his comedy/improv skills made for a much better Thor in Ragnarok.
FACTS ‼️
Just stepped out of the theater and holy damn was this a fun movie! A true addition to the series! And perfect way to have a female lead without being a cringe fest. It's a 10/10 for me no doubt. Rip Harold
I watch almost all your movies and series reviews. Good content, just one thing. Alex always have great input, almost always, in my point of view, the more unbiased and realistic input. AJ always forgets some important point of movies or series and Alex remembers all. I am writing this with the most respect possible. Love the content.
Agree, that's why I don't like when Joe intterupts him which happens a lot lol
@@PedroPerez-it1vb we’ll deal with it because it’s AJs show. Also ive heard ridiculous tales from Alex on numerous occasions.
@@sharpshoota8274 then if its Joe's show why even have other people there for input... Joe's movie input can be really tragic alot of the times
@@NeroWalker why have other people there? Because he’s basically putting them on and making sure they’re recognized along with himself because he knows they love to be apart of the show. It’s actually really thoughtful of him. That’s just something very stupid they’ll have to deal with if they want to be on the show.
Yo, I want the "other joe show"
I saw it last night and as a long time fan...I loved it! I think they can now expand more into possible sequels to really expand the universe.
And he did mention this chapter sort of thing opening up and even wider expansive story.
Why everything needs to be universe?
@MonkeyZorr You sound like a cynical curmudgeon. Not everyone hates entertainment like you do. It means a lot to me, and I welcome more Ghostbusters sequels.
@@Dartanyoogles what you don't get is that we don't hate entertainment, we love Ghostbusters and sometimes when you love something.....you shouldn't milk it dry and keep kicking it after it died.
@@Fulgrim_The_Phoenician Thing about Ghostbusters is the sky is the limit with what you can do with it. The amount of stories you could tell involving ghosts are endless--an entire cartoon series was dedicated to that fact (two if you want to include Extreme), and it'd be cool to get some of those kinds of stories on the big screen.
I dunno, if they can do 20 Marvel movies I don't know why they can't make a couple decent follow ups with ghosts that you can literally do anything with.
the egon moment at the end was super touching for the gf and me in the theatre she had just lost her grandma in may so the scene hit us in the feelings hard AF.
I would definitely watch the directors cut with more ghosts and spookies.
Loved this movie a ton !
Fuck yes bring us more movies, the writing and acting was pretty awesome. This movie had it's flaws but aside from the rushed ending it was pretty amazing.
3 seconds in and I’m already convinced that the film was well worth the wait.
You got that from a Nord VPN ad??
@@mikegleeson8733 yes
@@mikegleeson8733 nah before the add this goons are dressed up in full ghostbusters uniform 😭😭 if it wasn’t good they wouldn’t have even wasted their time
@@sharpshoota8274 Not necessarily. Joe was dressed up as a Colonial Marine in his review for the game, and he hated it.
Then you need to play "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" on PS4 or PS5. This movie is nothing more than a rip off of the video game.
I'm ready for a sequel with Phoebe fresh out of university and with the help of Winston creating a new team ✌
Would have preferred this story
Just seen it and I loved it!!! So well written and done right, it brought goosebumps and tears. So satisfied and I know Harold Ramis is smiling.
I saw Afterlife last night and dam did I really enjoy this. Finally we can mercifully erase that infamous 2016 reboot from memory forever. I'm hoping & praying that Afterlife does extremely well at The Box Office so we can get another installment.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife was awesome and Amazon's The Wheel of Time adaptation is off to a very promising start. Great way to start off the weekend👍
I already watched 2016 like 5 times, I have the dvd and will probably watch it again, it's a good time with some great visuals
Haven’t seen the new movie, but I think the common thread of the reviews for it is that this one was written and directed and acted and supported by people who actually liked the original source materials.
2016 really felt like a movie that almost hated the source material and didn’t understand what made the original films so popular, but still tried to be a nostalgia bomb.
Well 2016 was not originally supposed to be a Ghostbusters movie, so that explains a lot.
The mistake that 2016 made was that many young boys were brought to see that film with their fathers and after it the kids watched a very successful run of cartoon shows, it was best time of my life.
@@danacaldwell5388 what?
Joe there were 2 post credit scenes. One at the very end and one after the cartoony credits. The last one sets up the sequel
Breaking Bad was 5 seasons full of "coincidences" and it's built around grounded subject matter. Why can't a 2 hour fantasy movie?
Right? Also the way they shit on kids, I mean I saw it with my kids and we ALL loved it.
Really loved this movie and the dad jokes. Also the last scene ❤. After credits too so don't leave yet
Both after credits scenes.
Bro we should see any previous movies to watch this movie or it is a standalone movie?
@@blackkemi4775 As long as you've seen the original first one then you're good. But that one needs to be seen first IMO.
@@blackkemi4775 The first one is such a great movie that it would only add to the enjoyment of Afterlife.
If it wasn't for 2016, I wouldn't be as forgiving because this movie was basically a rehash of the original 1984 film but other than that, I loved the movie
Well the best part about it is yes, the villain and the setup that surrounded the movie is the same but I did like that the core of the movie is the family element which is the change. Its not about 4 average joes starting a business, it's about 1 family's trying to connect to a person they never had a chance to connect to as well as continuing his legacy.
@@nostalgiatrip1 I did love the way they had Harold Ramis as a ghost in this movie, that part was just so cool
@@riftshredder5438 it's amazing what good CG can do nowadays. It looked awesome!
The black screen at the end with just the words "for Harold" beautiful
not really, this film is WAY more feel-good and was lacking the original films irreverent attitude.
See it today! Had also stop myself from picking it apart. But soon as the sound of the ecto-1 and the proton packs! Oh the nerdgasm! And seeing the OG ghostbusters reunite at the end….. tears!
Spoilers
I got emotional at the end . I want to see more sequels with the OG guys and the new teens but this time in New York .
Thank you Other Joe for mentioning whether there are scenes after the credits. Wish this was always mentioned in the non-spoiler portion.
Typically, at least where I live, the lights in the theater don't turn on until after the post-credits scenes.
@@user-jc2lz6jb2e His point though is that giving the heads-up can save people's time from having to check themselves. And I agree with Rorik with how much it sucks when you sit through all the credits for a movie and there was no post-credit scene. or you left when it ended, only to find out later that there was post scene and you missed it.
And even a simple google search before seeing the movie can be risky because you most likely will see spoilers when all you wanted was a yes or no answer.
The theatre we go to is a gamble. Sometimes they keep the lights off for nothing, other times they turn them on and there's a scene afterwards. I missed the post credit scene for the Black Widow movie for instance because of that. Had to find it online after AngryJoe's review mentioned there was a post credit scene in the spoilers section.
Lately as the credits are rolling I google on my phone whether there is something or not. As Nicholas pointed out, I don't do this before the movie as I don't want to be spoiled. It would be nice if they kept it in mind when reviewing movies in the future.
SJW: You're sexist if you like Afterlife
OJ: Phoebe was my favorite character
Mckenna grace is gonna be a great actor for a long time. Shes the best in everything shes in.
SJW: "YOU JUST GOT HOLTZMANNED BABY!"
Average GB Fan: "New York in the 80's was like, The Walking Dead."
The SJW media/actress's cant get over that no one liked GB 2016 and how they over reacted to this movie period shows that lol
Lmao, you just making up imaginary people to dunk on lol

Making up an army of imaginary offended people is how they win arguments with themselves.
They're not capable of real debate any more.
I hope you read this one, the OG Ghostbusters never use streams to defeat Goza they use to close the gateway witch traps Goza. When they do fire at her in first movie she pushes them back just the same.
There was an after the credits scene where Winston brings Ecto 1 back to New York. I think they will give a sequel in New York with a new team.
I hope Winston is the mentor of the new team.
And just like a warm (slightly crazy) blanket, here comes Joe to let me know that everything is going to be Ok.
Gonna be watching it this Saturday and I can’t wait
How did you like it?
@@ramonmolina9136 it was a lot of fun but it definitely feel like it was Ghostbusters 1 but with a younger cast and the tribute to a certain ghostbuster was very heartwarming and made me tear up
Saw it yesterday and thought it was just fucking fantastic. I didn't cry at the ending but it was so sweet and such a surprise. Here's hoping for a sequel!.
I watched it as someone who never watched the originals…only the female one when I heard how bad that one was.
Afterlife was amazing. My mom who grew up with the movies thought it was cheesy but really good.
This movie looks amazing. 💯👍
Had the pleasure of going with my 5-year old son to see this last night and I cried at a movie for the first time in as long as I can remember. This movie was amazing.
When you look back at the original it only had 2 major action scenes too. The stakes just seemed higher in teh first one because of the amount of damage done. I would have loved to have seen more ghosts in the town, but I was satisfied with what I got. I loved it. It wasn't perfect, but I wasn't expecting it to be. 8 out of 10 I think this is not as good as the original, but I feel like it's better than GB2. More heart in this one than most movies I see now.
This entire movie is just a metaphor for all the infighting about what Ghostbusters 3 should be. Egon’s death and the original ghostbusters returning and feeling bad for not working with him is completely direct and analogous for what happened in real life
I absolutely loved this movie. Going in, we already know it's not going to be the lightning in the bottle like the original. I think 6 is too low a rating for this film. This was easily a 7.5-8. Yes the ending seemed a little rushed, but it was similar to the original except without the 100 ft tall Marshmallow man.
I am for sure watching this movie again. Great movie!!! Definitely a love letter to the fans.
Exactly.
So if this is 8/10 what's the original ? 10/10 ? that means the original is only slightly better than this ? Gotta be more realistic.
@@chuggynation8275 Yeah, the original is a 10 out of 10. It's a classic masterpiece.
Good thing a film score is subjective then and not objective fact.
@@Dartanyoogles Definitely a strong 9-10/10. It's why there's been so much demand for another, more faithful sequel to the originals. This is a good, solid 8/10
I love the costumes Joe you ways bring it back so classic Joe it doesn’t matter what age you are 👍
There is two post credits scene in the film. Loved the film, made me cry which surprised me. Egon is a scientist which would have meant that he would have given up his life for his work.
It was good I had fun with it, I'm going with a 7, hit the nostalgia feels well in most cases for me.
It was done well enough to set up for a new Ghostbusters, Phoebe and Podcast will be the ones starting it up, the brother might stick around too or it'll be those 2 recruiting a few others to join the team, but I'm up for more.
Also, I think it made some sense as to why Egon left his family and took the gear from the Original team.
He knew what he had to do wasn't going to be a good thing to subject his family to and wanted to give everyone a chance at a normal life, while he took it on himself to keep the portal at bay.
And tbf, if the power didn't mess up, he would have stopped it by himself.
Agreed. I wish the script had been funnier, but apart from that it was a good movie. Not perfect, but I am interested in seeing where the story goes next.
Saw it last night, really enjoyed it. The film both advanced the story and enhanced the lore from the previous films, I thought the new characters were charming enough, I do think there were a little too many "dad" jokes which hurt the comedy for me, and the plot was a bit too formulaic/predictable but that didn't necessarily hurt the film overall. The ending scene was awesome and did make me feel something in my eye.
I do wish the teenagers a couple rows behind me would've kept quiet during the film.
The film did NOT advance the story. "Ghostbusters: The Video Game" advanced the story. The movie just copied the video game and did a horrible job at it.
I liked it. There was bunch of people of different ages. Everyone was laughing. Kids were scared. But the movie did a good job making them feel secure? My biggest complaint would be the movie feels rushed even though it was 2 hours. Great time.
Main character was perfect. I hope to see other adventures with her. I hope the adventures arent world ending events. More like mysteries she has to solve.
@@telengardforever7783 Eh, the movie wasnt really like the game at all, don't know what you mean by copied. I was upset that they retconned Ivo Shandor but tbh that was bound to happen since that game's become kinda obscure.
As a 30 year Ghost busters fan, a 38 year old male, I loved it, and I was in absolute bits at the end. I've cried at two films. This, and Endgame. I loved it.
lol how embarrassing
@@citizen3000 Yeah your sense of cringe is embarrassing
Same here. 40 years old and didn't expect it to hit me the way it did, but I watched the movies and the cartoons before going to school as a kid. Nostalgia is a very real thing. I'll watch it again for sure.
I wasn't expecting to see a ghost Egon. When he showed up so did the tears.
Yes. This was a perfect film. It didn't force the kids on us. It gradually had them learn about the ghosts and Ghostbusters and had the original cast come in when there was a good reason to. Plus ever since Harold passed away I always said they can still make a third movie but make Egon a ghost and have him help them and when I first saw this and they had him come out and help them, I just came out of my seat and said, "yes!!!". My idea was actually made and I am so grateful. Plus I couldn't help but cry. Harold is such a genius writer. I love this movie. Best third movie in a trilogy.
Alex looks like he's contemplating his next serial kill the way he's looking at those gloves lol!
It's really cool to see the video of the small town that I lived near as a kid. Seeing the empress theater in Southern Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 was awesome. Nice to see home represented.
Hey, Alberta buddy. 🇨🇦
We haven’t watched it but we’re here to listen to their opinions and have them spoil it for us 👍🏽
Are u using ur sharingan or something dude holy sht how'd u know :o
@@Kitbats You’re a man of culture I see 💯 I’m always using my Sharingan bro
Phoebes character really made the movie for me, and just the way she connected with her grandfather and understood him/connected with him even though he wasn’t there. I do agree that the final act needed to be longer, easily add another 30 minutes and I wouldn’t have complained lol Podcast was fun, Paul Rudd always delivers, the other characters were just not fleshed out enough.
I hope we get another one with the old cast having a more prominent role, and I wouldn’t mind the new cast being in it as well (-:
They didn't completely ignore Ghostbusters 2, Ray's Occult bookstore is from that movie, so that's there. Plus Winston acted more like himself from GB 2 then he did with GB 1 when Ernie Hudson had that mustache and kept wanting to distance himself from the other guys when they got thrown in jail and had legal trouble.
The felt like a lot like a child discovering their parent's hobby and fall in love. Which I appreciate as someone whose has a niece that als is loving my hobbies now
I'm glad it exists, I'm glad we can watch it anytime we want
I just saw ghostbusters afterlife and it was amazing. I loved that egon was helping his granddaughter use the technology and help his family get to the mission stuff. I loved that we got a lot of call backs to the original characters and I love that they had all the original cast return. Especially bill murray
Just finished watching it and I LOVED IT!!!!!!!! ❤️
The child next to me in the theater would not sit down, constantly talking, constantly moving around, well under 8 yrs old and definitely a contender for ADHD. Not the child’s fault, the damn parents did nothing parental.
This happened to me when I watched Spider-man No Way Home. Being it a family movie, I purposely went at the last screening of the day hoping there will be less kids. There was one and totally ruined my experience because she was talking non-stop, getting on and off her chair walking around inside the theatre. I blame the parents.

I just got home from watching Afterlife and it was fucking awesome! Had a smile on my face from beginning to end. Respect to the source material, og cast, new cast (kids) were great, especially Phoebe and Podcast, Paul Rudd was great. But man that ending was something else, definitely a worthy Ghostbusters sequel. I say this as a lifelong fan of the franchise since 4 1/2 yrs old in 1984! I am still teary eyed, damn man.
there is at least ONE GB2 reference. Remember, after GB were sued out of business between the 1st and 2nd film, Ray opened his Occult Book store. In Afterlife he still runs it.
Small Glurmo #1: But, Your Highness, she's a commoner. Her Slurm will taste foul.
Slurm Queen: Yes! Which is why we'll market it as New Slurm. Then, when everyone hates it, we'll bring back Slurm Classic, and make billions!
I swear Joe never let's the other guys talk which is a shame cause they have good input . Reminds me of a guy at work and he drives me nuts
I think Alex have the better angles almost always and he is constantly cut off.
I really don't care for OJ's opinions, he comes off as trying to sound smarter than he is.
Over the years you can see Alex slowly shut off and just hang around for the ride.
Joe's bin doin that for years :( he used to be worse lol
A lot of this movie was filmed in rural Alberta where I’m from so I’m excited to see it! Glad it turned out better than the last one
I really want to see how they brought Harold back for the ending. It's like they went to heaven and asked him to make a cameo.
I just got back from seeing it. Would probably give it an 8 or 9. A reboot done right.
Spoilers:
It was very respectful to the original film.
Great characters. Paul Rudd was superb as a comic lead. The kids were great, though the sheriff's daughter could have been fleshed out a bit more, and I loved the mom. As a 42 year old parent, I found her relatable in a way that isn't often done well in films.
As for the ending, not going to lie, I nearly cried. Easily the most respectful and justified use of CGI of a deceased actor I've ever seen. I particularly got the impression that Jason Reitman told the actors "just say what you'd want to say to Harold if he were here". Just beautiful. Especially the line "I wish I'd picked up the phone. I miss you man" sounds more like something Ernie Hudson would have said to Harold Ramis, rather than something relevent to the script/characters. Just beautiful.
Yes, the recreation of some scenes (especially the Gozer temple) were just rehashes of the original, but for some reason this didn't feel as cheap or forced to me as it did on other films.
As someone who has been a lifelong Ghostbusters fan (and who went into the 2016 film thinking of take any addition to the franchise as welcome, then thoroughly disappointed in the unfunny car crash that turned out to be), I can't recommend it enough.
I think Podcast is essentially Ray's character because he's always explaining things like Ray did and analyzing things!
Rey Skywalker?Ooh the other Rey. Phew.
Gozer: "I am the destructor"
Phoebe: "I am all the Ghostbusters"
Oh god no. Really? 😕
When Egon was in ghost form helping her with the power struggle it reminded me of when Goku helped Gohan with Cell.
You forgot to mention that somehow spenglers ghost is totally unaffected by the super god level ghost trap
This movie is a "Love Letter to Harold Ramis" and a very fitting movie worthy of the Ghostbusters name. I'm very happy with it, and am hoping to see the GB franchise carry on to more movies.
So basically, “Not as good as it could’ve been, but it was alright and better than 2016”
I’m sold honestly.
Really? That's it? Jesus people.
It’s a solid 5-6/10 but not in a bad way. Kinda average, it’s the Force Awakens but much less cynical and more respectful of its source material but nowhere near the amount of shallow Nostalgia bait fan service as Rogue One.
Much room for improvement if there’s a sequel but it’s a pretty safe flick which doesn’t insult the fans so it’s a decent middle ground for what the fans of this franchise need right now.
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 You like Force Awakens better than Rogue One???
@@21innocentbystander I don’t like neither bud. Both satiate my fanboy nature for fan service in parts but I’ll probably never watch them again.
@@gatsbygoodwood2575 Weird to me but okay. Cheers
Yooo Joe!!! Could you tell me where you got those Galaxy pants from? The one you wore in your Madden 22 video, cause those pants are lit!! 🔥🔥
Watched this last night with my family. We went out in our flight suits and packs! The theater thanked us for coming in full regalia and gave us passes for our next visit. I have been a fan since the original release in 1984.
When Other Joe mentions the packs have the same power when Pheobe fires at Gozer. Keep in mind that was Egon's pack and was there all alone and had modified it quite extensively. It is plausible to say that it might have more power than the stock packs of the rest of the group. Just a thought.
@MonkeyZorr But he's not wrong. Egon's pack was modified, if you look at it you can see the upgrades he was doing to it.
How’s a Ghostbusters movie gonna make me cry?! Loved the film. Y’all talked about having heart and it definitely does. Sounds like y’all missed the end credits or just didn’t mention it but, would have been worth mentioning.
I found this movie quite charming and creative with the source material, and while some of the motivations were a bit clunky, overall it felt like the kind of movie I would have enjoyed back in the day as much as today.
I was told there are nods to GB2 in the film. I haven't seen it yet (won't release in Australia until Jan) but apparently you can see the Slime Blower, GB2 jumpsuit and the dancing toaster in the farm house I one of the scenes.
"For whatever reasons, Ray, call it . . . fate, call it luck, call it karma. I believe everything happens for a reason."
I just saw it a few hours ago and absolutely loved it and was tearing up at the scene towards the end.
I saw this movie last night, this one blew my mind. It even scared me in a few places, and that ending scene got me a bit emotional
Seeing how good the build up was, I'm thinking the runtime was shortened either due to budgetary/logistics reasons or the fact that the movie seemed geared towards younger audiences, whose movie runtime are typically shorter.
Favourite part of the film though was in Ivo Shandor's mine and seeing that awesome contraption made by Egon.
The fact that this isn't called Ghostbusters 3 helps me be a lot lighter on the tonal shift from an adult film to appeal to a younger audience. It felt good seeing kids as excited for the movie as I was.
The fact that the movie was about Egon Spengler sold the entire thing to me. This will always be a pleasing film to go back to for nastolgia and entertainment.
I don't like how Phoebe was recklessly firing off the protonpack, especially when on the gunner seat, she could've killed someone, like her mother who was sitting just inches away from it in the diner.
