Ghostbusters: Afterlife - Nov 11, 2021

You do it with the original cast when that was possible otherwise

This has the original cast, does it not? Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts.

Cameos isn't the same thing. This might end up being good but Ghostbusters was special because of the great cast.

Its not any less creatively bankrupt to say "hey remember this thing that happened in the original movie" for 2 hours.

If they do it like they did the new Rocky movie spin off, Creed, where they can still play a big roll like Sylvester did, that would work. But I am sure Paul Rudd will be the one to steal the show. But if we just get 10 seconds of each character from the original, well that kinda would suck. I hold out hope they get some decent screen time.

The move to an all woman cast was an EPIC FAIL IMO.

Based on the trailer it wouldn't really make much sense for them to have much time

The move to an all woman cast wasn't the epic fail. The movie itself was the epic fail. Replace with four equivalent male actors and the movie is just as bad.

I thought the move to an all woman cast SUCKED. And the movie also SUCKED.

The fuss about the female cast was unfortunate because it takes away from the movie being bad. It made it easy for people to dismiss criticism at the time because of the "omg they put girls in my ghostbusters" morons.

Pretty sure you know my stance on this. It came across as forced, as do many movies these days. I am all for more woman movies. Black Widow, awesome. Wonder Woman, awesome. Women leading up Quiet Place 2, awesome, did a great job. Change the entire line up in Fast and Furious to an all woman cast "because", GTFO. Spin off movie from Fast and Furious with woman cast, awesome.

Its bad because its creatively bankrupt. Its Hollywood thinking that doing an all woman cast is them putting a creative spin on a movie when that isn't the case.

But if the movie was good nobody should have a problem with it and it wasn't.

Looks great!
Too bad the only cinema in my city got flooded in the deluge a few months back... Guess I could go to Uppsala to see this... Or just wait for it coming to streaming, which I guess won't take long?

My guess is it may come to Amazon prime, as it’s the only one that I know that has the other movies atm….but I don’t know about Sweden/Europe, may be different there

Reviews definitely back up my fear that this movie wouldn't have much other than nostalgia
