Loved the story of how Harold Ramis and Bill Murray had a falling out in the set of Groundhog Day and stopped all communication for 20 years. but then Bill found out Harold was dying and in 2014 went to Ramis' hometown. Since Bill didn't know where he lived, he went to the police station and asked for his address. He arrived at Ramis' house with a police escort and a box of doughnuts. They then made their peace and said their goodbyes.
Really? They had disagreement between both of them?
@@BDTXIII pretty well known actually. bill had to swallow his pride and bury the hatchett just to see his friend one last time.
ok, that made me tear up a little. so glad they were able to bury the hatchet before it was too late
Which is why we never got a true GB 3, mainly because of Bill and Harold's falling out.
@@BDTXIII it was while filming Groundhog Day. Bill was going through a divorce at the time and wanted the film to be more philosophical. Eventually, Harris lost his temper to such a degree that he grabbed Bill by the collar and threw him against a wall, that was the end of their friendship.
This movie made me tear up. I cried during that entire ending sequence. This movie did something that others don't really do for me, it got a strong emotional reaction out of me. I cried like I was little kid.
That was 100% a father/son Kamehameha!
cried again at the end, just like in the theater. Weaponized nostalgia lol but it was so very, very needed.
I cried again too, just like I did at end of ghostbusters 1
Saving the day, saving the day.
You Know I Thought the Same Thing When I Seen this Movie last year in November. Seeing Phoebe Getting Help from her Grandfather Egon in Fighting Gozer was Identical to the Gohan/Goku vs Cell Kamehameha Battle. Though Bottom Line, Director Jason Reitman did not Disappoint with Ghostbusters Afterlife. After a Lackluster Reboot from 2016 from Paul Feig. We Finally got a GB Sequel Film that gave us Everything we Wanted Instead of Things we didn't want.
100% Goku/Gohan Kamehameha vibes when Egon/Phoebe did the Proton Beam Struggle!
Well, the younger Reitman IS Dragon Ball fan so....
While I prefer the original 2 movies from the 80’s, I will say that I absolutely love what they did in this sequel.
This is how you do it correctly!! It had all the nostalgia “feels” as well as introduced new characters that were endearing.
Phoebe is just precious and you can tell she is Egon’s granddaughter off the bat. She even talks the way he does. Love it!
I cried too at the end when Egon’s ghost showed up. 😢
Can’t wait for more sequels. 🤗❤️
Ghostbusters Afterlife is there with Terminator 2 as a very rare better than the others sequel.... Ghostbusters 4 ?? is for sure on the way........
@@kylereese4822
Agreed. Btw, love how your user name is from the Terminator. 🤗
I did also. Twice in the theaters
@@nowthatisawesome5431 was gonna comment on the Kyle Reese name too.
Take note, Paul Feig
THIS is how you do a proper Ghostbusters sequel
unfortunatly I think the 2016 movie almost ruined his directing career. the guy is a good director.
The film from 2016 is a reboot, not a sequel
How to do a proper Ghostbusters MOVIE, sequel or not.
“Gozer looks a lot like Olivia Wilde”
Aight, who’s gonna tell him?
Oh shit 🤣
"That rock kind of looks like a rock."
Dude mega point for being the first reaction out for this that I’ve seen.
I cried both times in the cinema at the start and end of this film, I love it as a hardcore Buster it’s my top out of the OG movies.
Did you catch the 'Easter Egg' at 8:50? The theatre's marquee says "CANNIBAL GIRLS', which was a 1973 movie directed by Ivan Reitman, starring Eugene Levy. It's the same movie that was playing at a cinema in GHOSTBUSTERS II, when a woman came out of the cinema, and her fur coat came to life and went off down the street. I think I was the only one in the I-MAX theatre where I saw this on its opening evening to spot that call-back.
I absolutely adored this film :) I had so much fun with it. I really enjoyed your reaction!
I agree that Ghostbusters:Afterlife is better than the previous Ghostbusters movies. Thank you, Eric!
Congratulations on being the first person to do a proper reaction to this film
I definitely feel ya on your opinion. Afterlife was an amazing sequel that was built well from the original Ghostbusters. I really loved the new characters and loved how respectful it was to the older generation. I also feel it has a Amblin like vibe that made it stand on it's own.
Happy you enjoyed it. 👍
Fuck I saw this 4 times in theaters and I still can't hold back tears at the ending
Just like with Ghostbusters: The Videogame, this respects the first two films and serves as a love letter to the fans
Dude your the first reactor i watched this in. Keep it up man. Love your reactions
You just might be the very first person to do a reaction video of this awesome sequel. I'm glad you enjoyed it very much. I can't get enough of Ghostbusters: Afterlife just like Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II
Great reaction! I cried when he helped her too. I still wasn't expecting to see his face though.
The first movie will always be the best one, in my opinion.
That´s when we were introduced to these characters and fell in love with them.
But I gotta say, Afterlife was better than I anticipated.
I thought I was going to dislike the idea of "children Ghostbusters", but in the end it was a story about Egon´s family and how they reconnected with him after his death.
My only complaint is that they played a little bit too safe when they decided to rehash the Gozer plot line. It was a missed oportunity to do something new.
But other than that, it was great. I cried like a baby when Egon helped her steady the stream.
And seeing all four of them again was a dream come true, even with Egon as a ghost.
It felt like Murray, Dan and Ernie´s way of saying to their friend Harold how much they miss him, as do we all.
For all intents and purposes, for me this is Ghostbusters 3.
Even though they did rehash GB1 in the third act, I DID like how Afterlife expanded the lore on Gozer and Shandor. It was cool to see one of his operations outside of New York since he had a powerful cult.
Ivo Shandor finally turned up in a movie but he had to split.
I've seen this movie seven times now, and I cried a little bit every time I saw Ghost-Egon.
That's not that controversial of an opinion. I can totally see why you like this film more than the original. But, it raises an interesting question: would you have liked this film as much if you had never seen the first 2?
I actually also connected to Phoebe and the others more than the original Ghostbusters. Phoebe was also my favorite new character.
I really want to see more sequels with Phoebe, Trevor, Podcast, and Lucky continuing to be Ghostbusters.
PS, I honestly thought you'd find the mid-credits scene more satisfying. You kept saying in your previous commentaries how there were no consequences to Venkman's creepiness. That scene is a very karmic consequence to his creepiness.
I almost NEVER cry during movies but that ending really got me tearing up. Felt like such a heartfelt goodbye to Harold. Also I feel like these "passing of the torch" films can be tricky because you have to really make the young new cast likeable but I think the kids are perfect and I actually can't wait to see more of them. :)
I was so freaking amazed at how real egon looked....so well done
Oh GAL was definitely more maturrly written and emotionally engaging than the first. I'm not even a big Ghostbusters fan and even I teared up when the original 3 showed up. I had full tears when Egon showed up to help Phoebe all Dragon Ball Z style 😂, and of course the hug at the end. MacKenzie Grace was AMAZING, and was incredible as the granddaughter. I can't imagine how a better and more respectful tribute could have been made ♥
WHO YA GONNA CALL??? GHOSTBUSTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF 2021!!!!!!!!!
I teared up too! This was a great movie
I really enjoyed this movie. Considering the situation with Harold Ramis, I thought they handled his role in the film really well.
Man you got this one out fast 👍🏻 Was fun to watch!
Thank you for reacting to this! I still have a vivid memory of watching the original movie when it first opened in 1984, and it really looks like they did it justice in this sequel!
They didn’t show Egons face because the actor Harold Ramis passed away
this movie had me tearing up like when i watched the marvel universe films. well with MCU it was like a ten year investment. ghostbusters had like a long long break between the first two and this film. but still having seen the first two when they first came out, and then seeing Igon and the OG crew come together, it was pretty much in a way similar to seeing the three spider men join together in no way home. nostalgia. love this movie.
I’m glad somebody besides me got Gohan vs. Cell vibes from watching Phoebe being helped by her ghostly grandfather.
I hope more reactors cover this movie
Great reaction. I can see why ppl today would like this better than the original. I love this movie, i also love the first. I wanted to be Ray growing up, the hyped up excitement is how i would get.. The original had a new world opening “feel” when u watched it in the 80s. This one is amazing, the nostalgic feel, the old footage, the final shot w/the 4 of them shooting together was a tear-jerker. Waited over 20 yrs for a new one and this delivered. Loved it & cant blame you for liking this more.
Fun fact: the director of this one was in part 2, he was the kid who said “my dad says your full of crap” lol.
Great reaction Eric!
100% agree! RIP Harold 🙏
Great reaction!!
Loved your reaction. Your reactions are very genuine. This was my first time watching you and you have a new subscriber. Out of curiosity have you seen the movie Blazing Saddles? This is one of my favorite movies and I love watching people's first reaction to this movie. Keep up the great work.
some people online think that the ghost in the container at the end is Vigo. others think is slimer. Im thinking a demon.
Great reaction. Love this movie so so much, really glad to see other people enjoy it too. Keep up the good work!
I respectfully differ with your opinion that Afterlife is superior to the original film, but I think that’s to be expected considering that I’m a lot older than you. I was a Ghostbusters fanatic as a kid in the 80s, and I love Afterlife because it feels like a love letter to fans like me.
Watching these kids made me feel like a kid myself again because they were doing what my friends and I were pretending to do while playing in the backyard - helping the Ghostbusters save the world.
And seeing Egon again meant so much because he was my favorite as a kid. I started wearing glasses at five years old so it meant a lot that one of my heroes wore them too.
Great reaction video, sir!
This was a beautiful, brilliant movie 😀
I will always miss Egon. I cried when Egon came to helped her.
This film was definitely a love letter to the fans of the first two films; rather enjoyed the way the film payed respect to Harold Ramis by having a CGI standee there, but not ruining it by having him talk. Also, you cut away from Ernie Hudson saying that he missed Egon; the way he delivers the line it seemed more that he was saying it to Harold. All in all, for me this was a worthy sequel and a rather good passing of the torch to a younger generation.
Yes, the mini Mr. Stay-Pufts are adorable, liked the subtle Terminator 2 reference when one is 'killed' on the barbecue.
now i don't know if you are aware.... but Dan Ackroyd said in an interview in the behind the scenes stuff of the video game from 2008 said that he was convinced that the 2008 video game WAS the 3rd movie for him.... and i would highly recommend that watch the "game movie" of it since its harolds last performance as Egon before he passed.
also one item of note that i don't know if anyone ELSE noticed...28:08 looks ALOT like a boson dart to me... and if i am right.... that makes the events of the game POSSIBLY canon... as apparently in the credits Winston now has his PHD, as well as gozer just up right killing ivo shador....
heh because i won't spoil the story of the game
Just when we thought the heroes sealed that demigod forever, that first encounter was only the beginning.....
Dude. Oh My God. You watched the real Ghostbusters: Afterlife 👻🚫
Growing up, my parents sent me to Oklahoma to stay with my cousins every summer.
The film really felt like an Oklahoman town.
There's absolutely nothing to do to the point that kids can build sci-fi weapons and go on joyrides in rebuilt junk cars.
Been a subscriber for a while on another account I can't recover for some reason and I have to agree with you. This was my favorite movie of the entire franchise.
Basically, a Ghostbusters movie in Joe Dante (Gremlins, Innerspace, Small Soldiers) vibe.
I did have a movie suggestion for you, if you don't mind? It's actually three separate movies made by Sony in 2021. They were supposed to have a theater release, but were shifted to Netflix for obvious reasons. The first one is made by the creators of "Into the Spider-Verse." The movies are "The Mitchell's vs The Machines," "Wish Dragon," and "Vivo." Unfortunately, it seems most people are rather unfamiliar with the movies, and thus there isn't much information about them or reactions to them online.
Thanks for at least the potential consideration!
Great reaction! I love this movie!
15:19 Pigeons Don't Sound Like Horses Crying In Agony.
this movie was perfect
Sir great reaction to this, I was a teen In the 80swhen it came out . I am not going to lie little tear in the eye for Harold even though cgi.
5:02 Trevor! Don't Say That! Parents Can Still Have Lives Even After Having Kids.
The dialogue in this film reminds me of the writing from the writers for the Big Bang Theory, even one of Pheobe's jokes was about how an atom makes up everything, that is straight out of BBT. Wil Wheaton says it as Professor Proton. But still the writing is really great. Paul Rudd is great as always
And yes there were definite Goku feels in that stream battle.
2:39 Aww!🤗 I Wanna See The'Tache!
I agree in some ways. Loved this movie. Better than first i dont know. Like you said the first movies set up this movie. The tribute to harold was great. I place this movie high in 2021. Hope they greenlight a another movie. Cost of this movie compared to what it made should get us another movie. Loved your reation.
And this is how you make a SEQUEL
Loved Phoebes Jokes it reminded me of the jokes my dad told me.This sequel was good much than the 2016 reboot great music and special effects lot good humor in this film.
Clearly you have never been in summer school when the kids and teachers don't want to be there....
Who wants to see the short film of the three living Ghostbusters traveling cross country? Three old men complaining, having to stop and go to the bathroom, except they’re snarky old Ghostbusters.
im deffinatly buying this on blue ray, this is the film we needed years ago when he originaly died
18:32 GHOSTBUSTERS! 🙌👻
16:34 She's Boredly Drunk Of Science! 😵😓
28:11 that stare and stance says "you killed my grandfather...your ass is mine bitch"
The only actor from the original movie that wasn't in this movie was Rick Moranis.
Amazing review
We’ll, Louise didn’t exactly get a different outfit either and Dana did.
The first movie was all sorts of fine things but it was still a product of the early 1980s, much as the new film is a product of the late 2010s. The first movie was a comedy adventure flick. This one is a more grounded family film with some comedy elements. Makes sense that you'd connect with this film more than the original. That was the plan.
6:34 So True! 💯🙌
As much as I love this movie the first is my favorite
Great movie
Afterlife was great, it definitely carried the spirit of the original films (no pun intended) unlike that 2016 garbage.
3:28 Dibs!🖐️ I Need A Couple Of Em! Big Ones!
I loved this movie, I did not like the mini staypuff creatures, it was the only fan service part that felt forced. everything else was great
I like them too me it felt like an echo of Gozer’s last form.
I guess you haven’t seen the first movie if you think the mini stay puff scene was forced. The stay puff marshmallow man was one of the iconic characters from ghostbusters.
@@BooneErica I mean all the other things that were call backs to the original film had a reason to be there other than just fan service. the mini men have no barring on the story. with or without them the rest of the story is the same. Gozer had been to earth to destroy many times before, why not one of the other form? Oh, it is because we saw this one in the last movie.
What?! The mini pufts were awesome . Had me laughing my ass off
@@BooneErica just because stay puft is an iconic character doesn't mean they had to have him in movie i love the new movie but i agree about mini pufts should have left them out like slimer
It is Olivia Wilde. 😉
I loved Phoebe too.
4:30 She's also Sheldon's grandmother in Young Sheldon.
I believe Mckenna Grace (Phoebe) also had a recurring role in _Young Sheldon._ I wonder if Annie Potts recommended Mckenna for the part.
@@ZukoHalliwell I doubt it. She's been in tons of stuff already (usually playing the child version of just about every blonde actress in Hollywood).
@@toddsmitts And McKenna's an Emmy nominee.
Its not better then the first Ghostbusters but its DEFINITELY better then Ghostbusters 2.
10:43 Or An Old Educational TV Series Like Captain Earth Or Cyberchase Since He Loves Science.
8:32 A Pelt. Cause They Can't Hear Or See.
wait. how he's watching the movie if they havent come out on blu-ray 4K? im waiting for my blu-ray version. Is it on disney+?
It's on some digital platforms, excluding Disney+.
Where did you watch it? Out of curiosity?
It’s out on Digital now, it’ll be another month or so until we get a physical copy.
@@JurassicProductions 31st jan it’s out on physical media.
I really liked the movie
12:25 Podcast! Don't Say That At Your Age!
Get ready for a new sequel in the future, pal 😎
8:57 💯😔
Do you think the performance of this movie is reflected by the box office ? International wise i am surprised that the franchise is not that popular!
I9 LOVE THIS MOVIE.
I really liked this sequel. It just lacked the comedy of the first 2. But you could never beat the cast of the first 2. They did as good as they could have for a sequel that many years apart.
After the woke dumpster fire I thought this would be more of the same but with teens. But found myself enjoying the characters, especially Phoebe. And the wrap up.l.just…wow. I hope for a sequel….if it’s this creative and funny. Next time include more GB music. Great reaction, man.
I loved all the movies but the 2016. That one was horrible.
What about Oscar? Is no one wondering about how Dana's son is doing?
I think the original film made this one what it is.
I like this better than the second. but this movie needs the firs t so i cannot put this one above the first
Its egon in the begging no offense if I didn't say that right though I haven't seen the first and second movies only this I'm how to spell it
Better than the first film? Absolutely not; it is a classic and cannot be matched. The comedy/wit, the originality, the cast... it was all perfect.
However, this movie is definitely the best possible Ghostbusters movie we could have gotten modern day. A film with just the original cast would seem forced and outdated, a movie with an all new cast without any significant ties to the original would seem disingenuous and hollow (ahem, 2016). This was a perfect mix of both of those ideas that, while not revolutionary and while definitely heavy handed with fan-service, works really well with what it is meant to do: pay respect to the franchise while gracefully handing it over to the next generation.
I rank this saga like this: Ghostbusters 9.5/10; Ghostbusters 2 8.5/10; Ghostbusters Afterlife 8/10.
13:36 It's Banter Not Banging! 😑
