The fact that Harold Ramis died in 2014 and with the technology we have today they were able to bring him back for this film is astounding to me. Fun fact: the body double for Egon was actually Ivan Reitman the original director of Ghostbusters 1 and 2. They did a great job with this movie, a true love letter to the fans of the originals and there is a scheduled sequel for 2023. As for Ghostbusters 2016 it would be interesting to see your thoughts on how bad and disrespectful it is but it is not necessary. Great reaction!
Several people actually doubled Egon. Ivan did in a couple of scenes, but the main guy that did is the actor that played the warden from The Shawshank Redemption.
Since Afterlife was released, sadly Ivan Reitman (the Director of the 1st 2 Ghostbusters and Producer of Afterlife) passed away as well to join Harold in the real Afterlife. I don't think you got that Harold had died at your reaction time which was the reason for the FOR HAROLD dedication. This movie was written and directed by Ivan Reitman's son, Jason Reitman (Ivan produced it). Jason was IN Part 2 (in the 80s) as a kid along with his sister, Catherine (Ivan's daughter) portraying, respectively, the rude child at the opening birthday party and a girl that is part of Egon's experiments. McKenna Grace was fantastic as Phoebe in this movie playing an Egon Mini Me as his granddaughter. Finn was ok- but Eleven would've been a much better fighter vs. the ghosts vs. his new girlfriend. (Yes- a joke). There IS a sequel to Afterlife being made and the last end credit scene set it up perfectly. I hated the reboot. The trailer to the reboot is still one of the most disliked TH-cam videos of all time. It's just a feminist, woke version and not written by any of the brilliant originals -although Ivan did produce it.
The big important things to realize about this movie are that Harold Ramis died in 2014. He had sort of a falling out with the other guys, and they never really talked again for like 30 years. Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd wrote the original movies. Ivan Reitman directed the original movies. This movie was directed by Jason Reitman, Ivan's son. Jason was the original Ghostbusters fan. He grew up on the set of the original movies, and saw it all before the movies ever even came out in theaters. Jason also played the annoying little kid in Ghostbusters 2 who mocks the Ghostbusters at the birthday party. Jason Reitman is a pretty successful director in his own right, but as an indie movie director. This is the first big franchise movie that he ever made. And it's the only time he ever worked with his father. They made this movie together. This movie was done a year or two before it was released, but it was delayed in release due to the pandemic. A few months after Afterlife was released in theaters, earlier this year, Ivan Reitman himself passed away. Ivan Reitman is also the one who plays Egon in this movie - standing in for his old friend Harold, who passed away in 2014. So this movie is Jason Reitman's first and final project with his father, his way of honoring his father's work, their way of honoring Harold Ramis and the original Ghostbusters, and it ended up being a swan song for Ivan Reitman himself. This movie means a crazy amount more than anybody really expected it to. Every time I see the ending of this movie it punches me in the gut. I get the impression that Jason Reitman only really intended to make this one Ghostbusters movie. Because, like I said, he's more of an indie director and kind of likes to do his own thing. But this movie was obviously very successful, and Sony is a movie studio that can basically never get anything right, so this movie is kind of a miracle for them. They've also established Ghost Corps, kind of a whole branch of Sony Pictures dedicated to developing Ghostbusters. And Jason Reitman seems to now more or less be the head of it. As this ending implies, the Ghostbusters head back to New York City. Ghostbusters 4 has already been confirmed and announced with a release date that I believe is next Christmasish, and it's confirmed that it will take place in New York once again, and it's confirmed that Jason Reitman will return to direct. It seems that Jason has now embraced and adopted his father's legacy as his own to keep his father's legacy alive. I say all of that partially to emphasize the insane planet-sized solid steel balls that Jason and Ivan Reitman had in daring to resurrect Egon Spengler in this movie. It was playing with nuclear fire. It was a move so ready to go catastrophically horrifically wrong if they fucked it up even slightly. It would have been seen as horrifically disrespectful and it would have infuriated a PLANET full of Ghostbusters fans. The fact that they pulled it off so fucking perfectly and elegantly in a way that makes me cry every goddamn time I see this movie. And I've seen it like probably nine times now..... It's a miracle. It's something that SHOULD NOT work. The fact that they made it work somehow is mind-boggling. And, hell, let's not forget to recognize that this movie was carried almost entirely by a 13-year-old girl. Obviously, she was backed by a cast of Amazing side characters - Podcast, her brother, her mom, Paul Rudd, the original Ghostbusters, JK Simmons as Ivo Shandor, and Olivia Wilde as Gozer.... They were all amazing and perfect.... ....But McKenna Grace, as Phoebe, carried like 80% of this movie. When Paul Rudd and Podcast were around, and even a lot of times with her mom and brother, she was always the/a main character. She also wrote and performed the song that plays over the credits with the ghost in the haunted house. The movie was supposed to come out, but then it got delayed and during the delay she basically started a music career, and the song was so good that they went back and put it in the movie before it finally got released. So McKenna Grace is basically another miracle that this movie pulled off. Because child actors are pretty hit and miss as it is. But even the REALLY good ones can rarely carry something basically by themselves. As a side note, I think they just announced a new Ghostbusters animated series and a Ghostbusters animated movie at the same time that they announced Ghostbusters 4. So Ghost Corps seems to be going into overdrive now, and we are hopefully about to return to '80s levels of Ghostbusters goodness. It really cannot be overstated how much of a PHENOMENON Ghostbusters was. People do not understand how big the Ninja Turtles were in the 80s and early 90s. It was like the Beatles. It was like Pokémon. It was all consuming and everywhere. And to a only very very slightly lesser degree, so was Batman and so was Ghostbusters. The three of them basically ruled the late 80s and early 90s. But yeah, anyhow, if you want to watch the 2016 movie, I'm on board to watch your reaction. I don't hate it. I just wouldn't say it's particularly good. I also wouldn't say it's particularly bad. It's just kind of something that exists for some reason. An odd sort of waste of time. Kind of a glimpse into what Ghostbusters could have been if made by people who didn't really know what they were doing. A version of Ghostbusters made by people who weren't comedic geniuses. 🤷🏻♂️
A great comment from an obviously HUGE Ghostbusters fan! I've always been a big fan myself, grew up with the Ghostbusters films and the "Real Ghostbusters" cartoon, had the toys and all that. I'm a child of the 80's so thats all my jam. But you provided such great commentary on this, its really fantastic. It should be a pinned comment really, so it doesn't get lost among the other comments and you need ALL the likes. Keep it up, true believer!! And also, R.I.P. Harold Ramis. He will truly be missed.
"Ivan Reitman is also the one who plays Egon in this movie - standing in for his old friend Harold, who passed away in 2014." He did it for some occasions, on others it was Bob Gunton (famous as warden Norton from Shawshank).
I'm just surprised that Ivan, the director who played as Egon. This movie came back in full circle with blessings! Looking forward for the next new Ghostbusters!
I went to the press screening for this. At the beginning, Jason Reitman appeared in a video where he explained that his Dad, Ivan, who directed the first two, was sat by his side for the whole shoot and basically co-directed the film. He died shortly after. What a swan song. I cried like a baby at the end. What a tribute to the great Harold Ramis.
This movie was a great movie in my eyes to witness and brings a tear to my eyes since we see Egon supporting his grandchild 🥲 also the actor would be sadly missed since he passed before this movie aired. But seeing his last role in ghost buster is a treat.
I grew up with Ghostbusters 1 and 2, and remember being super sad at Harold's death in 2014. Also with his passing, albeit selfish, I thought ah man now there'll never be a GB 3- which I wanted forever. When I heard this movie announced I was already pretty optimistic, given the scenario and the people behind it. And I remember thinking like oh man I hope they don't do some cheesy Egon's ghost thing, at the time I thought such a concept would be a bait and in poor taste. I saw the film in theaters day 1 and I loved his build up (the small little incorporeal touches, like the chess board and the car engine.) But man lemme tell you I fckin CRIED when I saw him at the end, it was like- I cant even describe it. Even watching the ending clip now I get a bit teary. I look back and feel bad for not initially giving all involved enough credit to pull off such a concept (Egon's ghost.) But as a long time fan, and artist, they did it justice and it was beautiful. I hold this movie in very high regards because it gave me essentially what I thought was impossible. Glad you got to experience it!
I remember watching Ghostbusters when I was a kid. the movie came out when I was a baby, but I was like 3 or 4 years old when I saw the first movie. It's been one of the biggest influences of my life! And I can say that watching Afterlife in the theaters ... when Egon shows up holding the neutrono wand with Phoebe ... I lost it. I cried! The whole ending was insanely emotional and touching for me. This movie was brilliantly done for all of us fans of the series. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
I was born in 2000 so I was literally waiting on this film my entire life. It was a running gag me and my grandma had like "Ohh I heard they might make a 3rd" every time Akroyd did an interview on TV. So glad we got this before Ivan passed away, rest easy Harold and Ivan 💛🖤🗽🖤💛
I remember the first time I saw this in theaters I was all giddy when I saw the puppet in the Wal-Mart. Puppets in filmmaking will always have a special place in my heart.
Yes! The nostalgia was hard on this one.🥰 Absolutely loved it. Also, the actor that played Egon (Harold) had died, so this was the perfect tribute to him. R.I.P. 😔 Totally cried 😢 when they showed him at the end helping out.
Yeah Ghostbusters Afterlife not gonna lie the ending got me I really liked the way they did that & too bad Rick Moranis didn't come back as Louis but this was still a great movie. R.I.P Harold Ramis
The ending to Afterlife made me openly cry, in a crowded theatre, and for the first time in my entire movie-watching life, I wasn't embarrassed by my own tears!
@@reggiewolfpac7711 I'm a quiet crier, so it's not like the whole theatre heard me. Even so, I was sitting in my seat with tears just silently streaming down my face. If anyone near me was aware, it would have only been the one or two people who were within a few seats of me. And from the sound of it, I wasn't the only fanboy driven to emotion by that ending. lol
Moranis took a long break from acting after his wife passed to focus on raising their children. Now that the kids adults, he is returning to acting, starting with a new sequel in the "Shrunk the Kids" franchise. He announced his return just a little too late to take part in this film, but don't be surprised if he returns in the next sequel.
@@smoothkirito Yeah I knew he put acting to the side & I hope the new Shrunk the Kids movie will be good when it returns that's one of my favorites also.
Happy to see your Ghostbusters journey, buddy. As someone who grew up with Ghostbusters, I cried in the theater, not just because of Harold Ramis’ (Egon) death, but because my own grandfather died in 2018. He was a Mathematician and teacher who was very like Egon. Made me hope he’s proud of me.
Tears. Tears of joy and sorry for us that saw the movies when they first came out. Knowing that Ramis had died in 2014 and that Murray and him did not part on friendly terms (for some reason). That "for Harold" at the end was another great touch.
Aside from the 2009 video game, this was the first time we saw the original crew together again in 30 years. I have a few issues here and there, but it's clearly made for the older fans, but it's also perfect for the modern audience in tone and style. And Phoebe is a great character I hope to see come back for another round. RIP Harold and Ivan.
I went to the movies and watched this on release night in 3D and I absolutely loved it. the best sequel they could have possibly made and an amazing tribute to Harold Ramis. I'm sure he was happy see the hardwork and effort they put into this movie. R.I.P
this is an incredible movie. I don't think they even include part 2 with this. So you could say it is an alternate part 2. The shots with Egon in the end are so awesome, seen this so many times now but still get teary eyed watching him with the originals again and getting the closure with his family.
Since Afterlife was released, sadly Ivan Reitman (the Director of the 1st 2 Ghostbusters and Producer of Afterlife) passed away as well to join Harold in the real Afterlife. I don't think you got that Harold had died at your reaction time which was the reason for the FOR HAROLD dedication. This movie was written and directed by Ivan Reitman's son, Jason Reitman (Ivan produced it). Jason was IN Part 2 (in the 80s) as a kid along with his sister, Catherine (Ivan's daughter) portraying, respectively, the rude child at the opening birthday party and a girl that is part of Egon's experiments. McKenna Grace was fantastic as Phoebe in this movie playing an Egon Mini Me as his granddaughter. Finn was ok- but Eleven would've been a much better fighter vs. the ghosts vs. his new girlfriend. (Yes- a joke). There IS a sequel to Afterlife being made and the last end credit scene set it up perfectly. I hated the reboot. The trailer to the reboot is still one of the most disliked TH-cam videos of all time. It's just a feminist, woke version and not written by any of the brilliant originals -although Ivan did produce it.
They’re definitely making a fourth one, which is exciting for me because I loved this one and I like Phoebe as a character. I think this one was what it needed to be to rejuvenate the franchise. I hope the next one does some new stuff while keeping the spirit intact.
Jason Reitman did a great job on this one. His dad (Ivan Reitman director of 1 & 2) consulted with him on this film and even directed some of the scenes when Jason was working on a separate set. They did a great job at honoring Harold Ramis who died in 2014. They basically took footage from Ghostbusters 1&2 and digitally aged him as a ghost. The beginning was brilliant only showing his outline and not his actual face. Jason reused some of the ghostly light show from the first one in this one. The original three ghostbusters reaction to seeing Egon was real. It was emotional for the guys not having their friend their. Bill Murray and Harold Ramis had a falling out not long after the second ghostbusters came out and was able to reconcile not long before he died. The story is great about their reconciliation. Bill Murray didn’t know his address just the town so he went to the police station and asked them where he lived and they took him over to the house. In regards to the 2016 film it’s really something you have to see and judge for yourself. I feel they didn’t have the same chemistry that Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis & Hudson had. Some parts were good.
Something I always thought was awesome, was a little easter egg. The ghost with the giant single eye , was based on an old Real Ghostbusters toy, where you squeezed the body and the eye popped out on a string. I had that one as a kiddy.
You wanna do a true horror movie, then watch all the VHS movies, especially the newest one. It’s a series of movies based on found footage recorded on VHS tapes. They are so scary
RIP Harold Ramis (November 21, 1944 - February 24, 2014), aged 69 And RIP Ivan Reitman (October 27, 1946 - February 12, 2022), aged 75 You both will be remembered as legends.
Bro, I just cried watching that! I saw this film 8 times when the old gang show up I cry EVERYTIME! Such a satisfying sequel to one of my favourites, can't wait for the next film, Ghostbusters Firehouse (is the working title) I hope you are doing a playthrough of the Ghostbusters PS4 game trust it's SICK!
Firehouse On Screen. Only the exterior of the Hook & Ladder No. 8 was used in Ghostbusters. The interior was a combination of sound stages and former LA firehouse Fire Station No. 23. But there are quite a few exterior shots of this firehouse.
I’ll say that this one plucked the heart strings. After the passing of Harold Ramis fans had lost hope of a sequel. After the 2nd film the logistics and investment into a 3rd GB took a couple of decades. It was a long time coming with a following that deserved a trilogy at least. What was crazy is the 80’s generation grew up with the two films and the animation. The cartoon was between the time of the first and second movies so kids had grown up with knowing all the details about the Ghostbusters lore. The classic character of the ghost “Slimer” was so iconic that he had a bigger role in the 2nd movie. I have the theory that the end credit scene is a hint that they have Slimer in the firehouse containment unit and teasing long time fans. You should give the cartoons a watching if possible. Maybe a poll for the best or fan favorite episodes to get a sense of what the 80’s kids had at the time. It may matter before the 2016 GB.
Constantly pushing up your glasses throughout the day - facts. If I wear contacts or have my glasses off, I still sometimes go to push my glasses up as a reflex at this point and just poke myself in between my eyes.
I loved this movie, I was way into Ghostbusters as a kid, my friends and I would pretend to be Ghostbusters on the playground at school. That ending with Peter and Dana kills me lmao.
As of right now, the next Ghostbusters film is set to be released on December 20, 2023, although no details have been released, and filming has not yet begun. Grace and Wolfhard have posted on social media that they are involved, but the official cast list has yet to be announced.
This movie was spectacular, i never understood the problem people had with this one. And years later they were still able to bring back the originals, whats not to love like come on the gap between each movie is crazy. R.i.P to my guy Harold Ramis. The best thing they did for this movie was having Ramis return one last time and technicallyhe was a main character from the afterlife. They did that!!!!!!
28:39 man this hit me in the gut watching these guys back in the 90s now years later seeing them all together definitely this movie connected so well and beautifully done
You said salt lines & that instantly takes me back to Supernatural 2 brothers who hunt the supernatural & they always used salt & rock salt in shotgun shells for ghosts! 15 seasons of awesome from 2005-2020 & that is something you DEFINITELY need to watch! One of the only shows I know that puts classic rock in the background when they hunt monsters & demons its soooo badass! PLEASE react to that one! 😎😎😎😎
I saw the first films in the theater when I was a kid but I wouldn't say I'm one of those rabid fans of the series. That being said, I saw this a few months ago and was genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed it. I even got a little sentimental when Egon's ghost helped his granddaughter fight back against Gozer. Great job.
Such a wonderful sequel! I grew up with the original and getting to see this in theaters was amazing. I took my son with me to go see it and we both loved it! That ending especially. Brings on the water works every time.
As 33 year old who grew up with the originals owning all the toys and even having my own suit and still as a fan as an adult i went to see this movie nearly 40 times and have watched the bluray nearly as many times.......i cry at the end EVERY GOD DAMN TIME! After Harold died I never thought we would get this especially after the mess that answer the call was (I still have never watched saw the trailer that was enough to know to me its not ghostbusters)
Yes, there will be another one. Jason Reitman and his writing partner Gil Kenan announced it a couple of months ago. It is set to be released during the Christmas season in 2023. The working title of the film is "Firehouse" and that is supposed to be a hint as to what the movie is going to be centered around. As for the main cast of Afterlife, most of them, if not all, are going to be the main cast in the next one as well. They've all (mostly) confirmed as much. And Ernie Hudson as Winston is supposed to play a prominent role in it. Dan Aykroyd has also confirmed his involvement. Who knows what Bill Murray will do as he has been notorious about being very picky when it comes to his roles, especially Ghostbusters. He usually shows up on the first or second day of shooting once he has made up his mind to do a movie. There is also an animated Ghostbusters movie that is in the works as well. Jason said it is the last thing his father was working on before his passing and was his "passion project." We don't know anything about it other than that. An assymetrical 4-vs-1 mulitplayer GB video game is set to come out some time this year or next year with both Mr. Hudson and Mr. Aykroyd involved. It looks like it'll be really fun. Lastly, a new animated GB TV show is coming out as well. It will be released on Netflix. Don't know much else, but fans are hoping it is a continuation of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, or something similar to that. But it could very well be the animated misadventures of the characters from Afterlife. Who knows, but I hope it is good. But it certainly is a fantastic time to be a Ghostbusters fan right now. The franchise is in good hands with Jason Reitman at the helm. And this movie proved his dedication to it and to the fans of the series.
Maybe the ONLY reason to watch 2016 Ghostbusters is to see if the comments match the film for yourself. Don't say you weren't told, you need to see a crappy movie to appreciate the good ones.
it honestly makes so much sense for you to watch this movie next instead of the 2016 ghostbusters lol. i was so worried you were going to be confused and/or turned off by it. honestly i don't know if anyone is excited for you to watch the other one.
I would absolutely play chess with a ghost... As long i usually win. If it became apparent the ghost was a better strategist than me, that's when I'm out.
I think that this was the movie people were wanting when the reboot with the ladies came out. The reboot is a good movie and definitely worth a watch (so funny) but it doesn’t pay the same homage to the originals that this one does.
All the OG actors except Harold Ramis (thus why they never showed his face outside of shadow) which is sad and mostly because him and Bill Murray weren’t talking since “Groundhog Day” till just before Harolds death
As for me, I was glad to watch the DVD, but I noticed when I watched it twice, I fell asleep (I'm old for one thing). I think the theme music carried the first movie, perhaps what I watched was a simple thanks to Harold Ramis 🎬
2916 maybe, but I would love to shout out my fav episodes of Real Ghostbusters for a compilation reaction. For me , We spent years waiting for Ghostbusters 3. Every few years some one would say "Ghostbusters 3 coming soon" only to have some hold up or change. so this was a "Finally" moment Some people call the Video Game a solid part 3
Also according to Dan Aykroyd and rest in peace Harold Ramis before this one was made the Ghostbusters video game was also canon to the original storyline so I don’t know if you wanna play it but it’s not that long of a game and I do recommend it it’s a good play through very fun.
I enjoyed this, had a different feel but I appreciate they had to so they could get a different audience. Really enjoyed the call backs (most missed all of them first watch, ie the books when they first arrived at the house being stacked the way they were in the first GB).
Definitely a different experience since we grew up with the original movies. Still very emotional for people to watch this movie, but a completely different level if you grew up with 1 and 2
22:38 Ok, it's clear she actually said some words here, but was later ADR'd to be 'rawr-rur.' My lip-reading isn't clean enough to guess what she really said.
To start out I've been a Ghostbusters fan for as long as I can remember. Ghostbusters 2 was one of the earliest films that I remember actually watching all of the credits for. I remember getting up on Saturday mornings to watch The Real Ghostbusters which celebrated it's 36th anniversary today. Prior to one misguided Lent I owned the firehouse a proton pack a pke a trap several of the ghosts from The Real Ghostbusters playsets as well as the Ecto. I still have VHS copies of the first two films as well as the 20th anniversary re-release and the three disc addition that was released with Afterlife. I own the 2009 game on PlayStation 3 as well as the 1989 Sega Genesis game and of course the NES original. I am DEFINITELY a Ghosthead. The history of Ghostbusters sequels was.....tumultuous to say the least. After Bill(Muarry) was unsatisfied with the production of Ghostbusters 2, he had it written that any sequels would need approval from Harold, Dan, Ivan and Bill. Couple this with a falling out that Bill had with Harold over the filming of the film Groundhog Day which apparently soured the friendship between Bill and Harold. Dan started writing scripts turning them in and they would get turned down and sent back causing a 30-year period of development hell. One of the more promising treatments was the Ghostbusters going to hell while training new recruits. This would become the basis for the 2009 game that he and Harold would pen as well as would reunite every single one of the main actors as well as two from the first film and one person from the second film. The critical Acclaim of the 2009 game caused Dan to once again pursue trying to write a third film but nothing really came of it. It seemed Sony was largely uninterested in a 3rd Ghostbusters film because of Bill consistently turning down the fabled Ghostbusters 3 over the years. So Dan wrote a script treatment where Peter would be killed off in the First Act and then show up as a spectral form in the finale. This one did show promise up until Harold's death in 2014. Also in 2014 was the infamous hack of the Sony servers, which leaked many internal memos and emails. Including an early script treatment for what would eventually be known as the 2016 reboot. Emails such as correspondence between then Sony president amy pascal and 2016 director paul fieg about cutting Ivan Rietman out of production. And while Dan was very courteous during the production after the film was released to critical and box office panning by many Ghostbusters fans Dan put the blame on paul himself. The debacle even caused amy to lose her job yet a writer in her contract has allowed her to continue ruining Spider-Man. Now unlike most people I was rather excited for the 2016 reboot. Even after the teaser trailer became the most hated trailer on all of TH-cam. And after the narrative Got Hijacked by the production people of Sony(under amy's direction I have no doubt) say that anybody who didn't want to go see this film was a woman hater and a misogynist( which led to death threats against James Rolfe who is known as the Angry Video Game Nerd on TH-cam after he said he wasn't going to be watching or reviewing the film). The cold open showed promise but as I said in that film every minute that passed by the film just got worse and worse to me and at the end I was bewildered at how Sony could treat the franchise with such disrespect. They didn't even do a proper dedication to Harold. But while the hopes of Ghostbusters fans were being dashed by that "film", it turns out that Ivan and his adult son Jason who had been in the first two Ghostbusters films( although the scene with Jason and his mother in the first Ghostbusters film ended up on The Cutting Room floor until this film) was working with his dad to craft a perfect legacy sequel that was a love letter to the Ghostbusters fans. That love letter starts out as what seems like a typical coming-of-age teen story and then very much becomes a Ghostbusters film and I was here for every minute of it. The moment Egon shows up it was instant tears. I eas a blubbering mess when it said For Harold and the classic song kicked in. I do not need to say anything about how incredible the cast was. And I am happy to report that this film is getting a sequel next year. I'm excited to see what happens next
Exactly what you said about the nostalgia for those of us that watched the originals back in the 80s. Seeing those guys come back was a huge flood of emotions for me. Especially with all the drama for years about trying to get this film done and Harold passing away. This was so well done and payed tribute to the originals in such a good way. That’s why that thing from 2016 is so despised and hated. They shit all over the original. Complete disrespect with what they did in that piss poor excuse of a film if it can be even called a film.
Weird how everytime I watch this movie somebody has sit under my nose and cut their onions right under my nose so it looks like I'm crying...but I'm not! Just weird.
@@kylereese4822 see unless the OG cast will be in it this will turn out to be just like the horrible fast & furious movies that have like 10 sequels! I say stop it at this!
One of the best horror movies I have seen is called SILENT HOUSE. It is not a well known film but I almost couldn`t watch it because it was so dam stressful and terrifying. You can be the first on youtube to do a reaction to it! Once people see how good this movie is, they will be talking about it all over the net! I dare you to react to it.
Harold Ramis has passed away. thats why they kill him off at the beginning. part of this was filmed in a farm house in Alberta Canada. yessssss check out the 2016 one it's not horrible but it isn't the greatest.
You mean Ivan Reitman’s kid 🙂 Jason Reitman directed and co-wrote it and it was Ivan Reitman’s last producing credit before he passed away in February 2022.
I feel the whole glasses push up. That's why I stopped getting the one rubber nose piece. But I thought this was a really good movie. Definitely better then the other new one and cried at the Egon scene at the end
The Bill and Ted Trilogy took 31years from the first to the last lol. Should check it out. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) Bill and Ted Face the Music (2020)
I think they already confirmed their making another one with this newer generation and honestly I’m kinda excited. I do think one of them will come back for a big role , as this new generation will still need a mentor and based on the after credits it’ll most likely be Winston. I just don’t see Bill Murray’s character at this age willingly want to mentor , plus idk if bill murray wants to film another ghostbusters movie
Seattle is just okay. The montains and lakes are where it's at. Lake Colchuck, Keechelus Lake, Olympic National Forest, Palouse Falls, Twin Falls, Mailbox Peak, Snow Lake, Snoqualmie, Crystal Mountain, Moses Lake Sand Dunes, The Gorge, Columbia River, Pudget Sound, Manastash Ridge, Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helens...etc...
RIP, Harold Ramis. If he were alive today, he would be very proud for what they accomplished.
There is no death, I'm sure he likes it😀
As a 38 year old oldschool fan and after watching this movie I figure he'd be down. RIP Harold Ramis.
The fact that Harold Ramis died in 2014 and with the technology we have today they were able to bring him back for this film is astounding to me. Fun fact: the body double for Egon was actually Ivan Reitman the original director of Ghostbusters 1 and 2. They did a great job with this movie, a true love letter to the fans of the originals and there is a scheduled sequel for 2023. As for Ghostbusters 2016 it would be interesting to see your thoughts on how bad and disrespectful it is but it is not necessary. Great reaction!
Tupoc did it first lol
Several people actually doubled Egon. Ivan did in a couple of scenes, but the main guy that did is the actor that played the warden from The Shawshank Redemption.
Since Afterlife was released, sadly Ivan Reitman (the Director of the 1st 2 Ghostbusters and Producer of Afterlife) passed away as well to join Harold in the real Afterlife. I don't think you got that Harold had died at your reaction time which was the reason for the FOR HAROLD dedication. This movie was written and directed by Ivan Reitman's son, Jason Reitman (Ivan produced it). Jason was IN Part 2 (in the 80s) as a kid along with his sister, Catherine (Ivan's daughter) portraying, respectively, the rude child at the opening birthday party and a girl that is part of Egon's experiments. McKenna Grace was fantastic as Phoebe in this movie playing an Egon Mini Me as his granddaughter. Finn was ok- but Eleven would've been a much better fighter vs. the ghosts vs. his new girlfriend. (Yes- a joke). There IS a sequel to Afterlife being made and the last end credit scene set it up perfectly. I hated the reboot. The trailer to the reboot is still one of the most disliked TH-cam videos of all time. It's just a feminist, woke version and not written by any of the brilliant originals -although Ivan did produce it.
The big important things to realize about this movie are that Harold Ramis died in 2014. He had sort of a falling out with the other guys, and they never really talked again for like 30 years.
Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd wrote the original movies.
Ivan Reitman directed the original movies.
This movie was directed by Jason Reitman, Ivan's son.
Jason was the original Ghostbusters fan. He grew up on the set of the original movies, and saw it all before the movies ever even came out in theaters.
Jason also played the annoying little kid in Ghostbusters 2 who mocks the Ghostbusters at the birthday party.
Jason Reitman is a pretty successful director in his own right, but as an indie movie director. This is the first big franchise movie that he ever made. And it's the only time he ever worked with his father. They made this movie together.
This movie was done a year or two before it was released, but it was delayed in release due to the pandemic.
A few months after Afterlife was released in theaters, earlier this year, Ivan Reitman himself passed away.
Ivan Reitman is also the one who plays Egon in this movie - standing in for his old friend Harold, who passed away in 2014.
So this movie is Jason Reitman's first and final project with his father, his way of honoring his father's work, their way of honoring Harold Ramis and the original Ghostbusters, and it ended up being a swan song for Ivan Reitman himself.
This movie means a crazy amount more than anybody really expected it to.
Every time I see the ending of this movie it punches me in the gut.
I get the impression that Jason Reitman only really intended to make this one Ghostbusters movie.
Because, like I said, he's more of an indie director and kind of likes to do his own thing.
But this movie was obviously very successful, and Sony is a movie studio that can basically never get anything right, so this movie is kind of a miracle for them.
They've also established Ghost Corps, kind of a whole branch of Sony Pictures dedicated to developing Ghostbusters. And Jason Reitman seems to now more or less be the head of it.
As this ending implies, the Ghostbusters head back to New York City.
Ghostbusters 4 has already been confirmed and announced with a release date that I believe is next Christmasish, and it's confirmed that it will take place in New York once again, and it's confirmed that Jason Reitman will return to direct.
It seems that Jason has now embraced and adopted his father's legacy as his own to keep his father's legacy alive.
I say all of that partially to emphasize the insane planet-sized solid steel balls that Jason and Ivan Reitman had in daring to resurrect Egon Spengler in this movie.
It was playing with nuclear fire.
It was a move so ready to go catastrophically horrifically wrong if they fucked it up even slightly. It would have been seen as horrifically disrespectful and it would have infuriated a PLANET full of Ghostbusters fans.
The fact that they pulled it off so fucking perfectly and elegantly in a way that makes me cry every goddamn time I see this movie. And I've seen it like probably nine times now.....
It's a miracle.
It's something that SHOULD NOT work.
The fact that they made it work somehow is mind-boggling.
And, hell, let's not forget to recognize that this movie was carried almost entirely by a 13-year-old girl.
Obviously, she was backed by a cast of Amazing side characters - Podcast, her brother, her mom, Paul Rudd, the original Ghostbusters, JK Simmons as Ivo Shandor, and Olivia Wilde as Gozer.... They were all amazing and perfect....
....But McKenna Grace, as Phoebe, carried like 80% of this movie.
When Paul Rudd and Podcast were around, and even a lot of times with her mom and brother, she was always the/a main character.
She also wrote and performed the song that plays over the credits with the ghost in the haunted house.
The movie was supposed to come out, but then it got delayed and during the delay she basically started a music career, and the song was so good that they went back and put it in the movie before it finally got released.
So McKenna Grace is basically another miracle that this movie pulled off. Because child actors are pretty hit and miss as it is.
But even the REALLY good ones can rarely carry something basically by themselves.
As a side note, I think they just announced a new Ghostbusters animated series and a Ghostbusters animated movie at the same time that they announced Ghostbusters 4.
So Ghost Corps seems to be going into overdrive now, and we are hopefully about to return to '80s levels of Ghostbusters goodness.
It really cannot be overstated how much of a PHENOMENON Ghostbusters was. People do not understand how big the Ninja Turtles were in the 80s and early 90s.
It was like the Beatles.
It was like Pokémon.
It was all consuming and everywhere.
And to a only very very slightly lesser degree, so was Batman and so was Ghostbusters.
The three of them basically ruled the late 80s and early 90s.
But yeah, anyhow, if you want to watch the 2016 movie, I'm on board to watch your reaction. I don't hate it. I just wouldn't say it's particularly good. I also wouldn't say it's particularly bad. It's just kind of something that exists for some reason. An odd sort of waste of time. Kind of a glimpse into what Ghostbusters could have been if made by people who didn't really know what they were doing.
A version of Ghostbusters made by people who weren't comedic geniuses.
🤷🏻♂️
A great comment from an obviously HUGE Ghostbusters fan! I've always been a big fan myself, grew up with the Ghostbusters films and the "Real Ghostbusters" cartoon, had the toys and all that. I'm a child of the 80's so thats all my jam.
But you provided such great commentary on this, its really fantastic. It should be a pinned comment really, so it doesn't get lost among the other comments and you need ALL the likes.
Keep it up, true believer!!
And also, R.I.P. Harold Ramis. He will truly be missed.
Very well said
"Ivan Reitman is also the one who plays Egon in this movie - standing in for his old friend Harold, who passed away in 2014."
He did it for some occasions, on others it was Bob Gunton (famous as warden Norton from Shawshank).
I'm just surprised that Ivan, the director who played as Egon. This movie came back in full circle with blessings! Looking forward for the next new Ghostbusters!
*I remember that everyone in the Cinema cried with the Egon scene at the end, R.I.P Harold Ramis*
I went to the press screening for this. At the beginning, Jason Reitman appeared in a video where he explained that his Dad, Ivan, who directed the first two, was sat by his side for the whole shoot and basically co-directed the film. He died shortly after. What a swan song. I cried like a baby at the end. What a tribute to the great Harold Ramis.
And a fitting conclusion for Ivan’s movie career and a perfect passing of the torch for his son to continue the GB legacy.
@@Otisboy121 Indeed.
This movie was a great movie in my eyes to witness and brings a tear to my eyes since we see Egon supporting his grandchild 🥲 also the actor would be sadly missed since he passed before this movie aired. But seeing his last role in ghost buster is a treat.
I grew up with Ghostbusters 1 and 2, and remember being super sad at Harold's death in 2014. Also with his passing, albeit selfish, I thought ah man now there'll never be a GB 3- which I wanted forever. When I heard this movie announced I was already pretty optimistic, given the scenario and the people behind it. And I remember thinking like oh man I hope they don't do some cheesy Egon's ghost thing, at the time I thought such a concept would be a bait and in poor taste. I saw the film in theaters day 1 and I loved his build up (the small little incorporeal touches, like the chess board and the car engine.) But man lemme tell you I fckin CRIED when I saw him at the end, it was like- I cant even describe it. Even watching the ending clip now I get a bit teary. I look back and feel bad for not initially giving all involved enough credit to pull off such a concept (Egon's ghost.) But as a long time fan, and artist, they did it justice and it was beautiful. I hold this movie in very high regards because it gave me essentially what I thought was impossible. Glad you got to experience it!
I remember watching Ghostbusters when I was a kid. the movie came out when I was a baby, but I was like 3 or 4 years old when I saw the first movie. It's been one of the biggest influences of my life! And I can say that watching Afterlife in the theaters ... when Egon shows up holding the neutrono wand with Phoebe ... I lost it. I cried! The whole ending was insanely emotional and touching for me. This movie was brilliantly done for all of us fans of the series. I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
I was born in 2000 so I was literally waiting on this film my entire life. It was a running gag me and my grandma had like "Ohh I heard they might make a 3rd" every time Akroyd did an interview on TV.
So glad we got this before Ivan passed away, rest easy Harold and Ivan 💛🖤🗽🖤💛
I remember the first time I saw this in theaters I was all giddy when I saw the puppet in the Wal-Mart. Puppets in filmmaking will always have a special place in my heart.
Yes! The nostalgia was hard on this one.🥰 Absolutely loved it.
Also, the actor that played Egon (Harold) had died, so this was the perfect tribute to him.
R.I.P. 😔
Totally cried 😢 when they showed him at the end helping out.
The great part about the Walmart scene is Paul Rudd gets Baskin Robbins Ice Cream…. Because Baskin Robbins always finds out!
Yeah Ghostbusters Afterlife not gonna lie the ending got me I really liked the way they did that & too bad Rick Moranis didn't come back as Louis but this was still a great movie. R.I.P Harold Ramis
The ending to Afterlife made me openly cry, in a crowded theatre, and for the first time in my entire movie-watching life, I wasn't embarrassed by my own tears!
@@jacob4920 I was at home crying from that ending & hey if I was crying at the theaters I would've been like THESE ARE MANLY TEARS LOL
@@reggiewolfpac7711 I'm a quiet crier, so it's not like the whole theatre heard me. Even so, I was sitting in my seat with tears just silently streaming down my face. If anyone near me was aware, it would have only been the one or two people who were within a few seats of me. And from the sound of it, I wasn't the only fanboy driven to emotion by that ending. lol
Moranis took a long break from acting after his wife passed to focus on raising their children. Now that the kids adults, he is returning to acting, starting with a new sequel in the "Shrunk the Kids" franchise. He announced his return just a little too late to take part in this film, but don't be surprised if he returns in the next sequel.
@@smoothkirito Yeah I knew he put acting to the side & I hope the new Shrunk the Kids movie will be good when it returns that's one of my favorites also.
Happy to see your Ghostbusters journey, buddy. As someone who grew up with Ghostbusters, I cried in the theater, not just because of Harold Ramis’ (Egon) death, but because my own grandfather died in 2018. He was a Mathematician and teacher who was very like Egon. Made me hope he’s proud of me.
Tears. Tears of joy and sorry for us that saw the movies when they first came out. Knowing that Ramis had died in 2014 and that Murray and him did not part on friendly terms (for some reason). That "for Harold" at the end was another great touch.
Aside from the 2009 video game, this was the first time we saw the original crew together again in 30 years. I have a few issues here and there, but it's clearly made for the older fans, but it's also perfect for the modern audience in tone and style. And Phoebe is a great character I hope to see come back for another round. RIP Harold and Ivan.
I went to the movies and watched this on release night in 3D and I absolutely loved it. the best sequel they could have possibly made and an amazing tribute to Harold Ramis. I'm sure he was happy see the hardwork and effort they put into this movie. R.I.P
33:23, this right here is a teaser for another Ghostbusters movie, coming Christmas Day 2023!
this is an incredible movie. I don't think they even include part 2 with this. So you could say it is an alternate part 2. The shots with Egon in the end are so awesome, seen this so many times now but still get teary eyed watching him with the originals again and getting the closure with his family.
Since Afterlife was released, sadly Ivan Reitman (the Director of the 1st 2 Ghostbusters and Producer of Afterlife) passed away as well to join Harold in the real Afterlife. I don't think you got that Harold had died at your reaction time which was the reason for the FOR HAROLD dedication. This movie was written and directed by Ivan Reitman's son, Jason Reitman (Ivan produced it). Jason was IN Part 2 (in the 80s) as a kid along with his sister, Catherine (Ivan's daughter) portraying, respectively, the rude child at the opening birthday party and a girl that is part of Egon's experiments.

(Yes- a joke). There IS a sequel to Afterlife being made and the last end credit scene set it up perfectly. I hated the reboot. The trailer to the reboot is still one of the most disliked TH-cam videos of all time. It's just a feminist, woke version and not written by any of the brilliant originals -although Ivan did produce it.
This movie is perfect. I never EVER cry in movies but the day it came out in theatres the moment I saw egons spirit I bawled my eyes out.
They’re definitely making a fourth one, which is exciting for me because I loved this one and I like Phoebe as a character.
I think this one was what it needed to be to rejuvenate the franchise. I hope the next one does some new stuff while keeping the spirit intact.
Jason Reitman did a great job on this one. His dad (Ivan Reitman director of 1 & 2) consulted with him on this film and even directed some of the scenes when Jason was working on a separate set. They did a great job at honoring Harold Ramis who died in 2014. They basically took footage from Ghostbusters 1&2 and digitally aged him as a ghost. The beginning was brilliant only showing his outline and not his actual face. Jason reused some of the ghostly light show from the first one in this one. The original three ghostbusters reaction to seeing Egon was real. It was emotional for the guys not having their friend their. Bill Murray and Harold Ramis had a falling out not long after the second ghostbusters came out and was able to reconcile not long before he died. The story is great about their reconciliation. Bill Murray didn’t know his address just the town so he went to the police station and asked them where he lived and they took him over to the house.
In regards to the 2016 film it’s really something you have to see and judge for yourself. I feel they didn’t have the same chemistry that Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis & Hudson had. Some parts were good.
6:45 same actress? absolutly YES.
Indeed! Annie Potts from “Designing Women” and “Young Sheldon.”
@@seangates1451 is the "Grandma". YES!
Great reaction! The sequel is already greenlit and written and should begin filming next February or March of next year for a Christmas 2023 release.
Something I always thought was awesome, was a little easter egg. The ghost with the giant single eye , was based on an old Real Ghostbusters toy, where you squeezed the body and the eye popped out on a string. I had that one as a kiddy.
This was an emotional one for me when I saw it in theaters. RIP Harold Ramis, RIP Egon. This movie ead dedicated to him.
You wanna do a true horror movie, then watch all the VHS movies, especially the newest one. It’s a series of movies based on found footage recorded on VHS tapes. They are so scary
RIP Harold Ramis (November 21, 1944 - February 24, 2014), aged 69
And
RIP Ivan Reitman (October 27, 1946 - February 12, 2022), aged 75
You both will be remembered as legends.
Bro, I just cried watching that! I saw this film 8 times when the old gang show up I cry EVERYTIME! Such a satisfying sequel to one of my favourites, can't wait for the next film, Ghostbusters Firehouse (is the working title)
I hope you are doing a playthrough of the Ghostbusters PS4 game trust it's SICK!
Fun fact: this movie was actually filmed in (mostly rural) southern Alberta, Canada. The Walmart scene and a few others were filmed in Calgary.
Firehouse On Screen. Only the exterior of the Hook & Ladder No. 8 was used in Ghostbusters. The interior was a combination of sound stages and former LA firehouse Fire Station No. 23. But there are quite a few exterior shots of this firehouse.
Could Egon of sent him self via Internet/Wi-Fi to the Containment System and that`s him in there at the end ?????
@@kylereese4822 "could Egon have", not "could Egon of". Also, "himself" is a compound word, not two separate words.
I’ll say that this one plucked the heart strings. After the passing of Harold Ramis fans had lost hope of a sequel.
After the 2nd film the logistics and investment into a 3rd GB took a couple of decades. It was a long time coming with a following that deserved a trilogy at least.
What was crazy is the 80’s generation grew up with the two films and the animation. The cartoon was between the time of the first and second movies so kids had grown up with knowing all the details about the Ghostbusters lore. The classic character of the ghost “Slimer” was so iconic that he had a bigger role in the 2nd movie.
I have the theory that the end credit scene is a hint that they have Slimer in the firehouse containment unit and teasing long time fans.
You should give the cartoons a watching if possible. Maybe a poll for the best or fan favorite episodes to get a sense of what the 80’s kids had at the time. It may matter before the 2016 GB.
You know, I have never seen anything crazy, weird or out of the ordinary at Walmart.
IMDb shows Mckenna Grace coming back for 4th film.. which is great because I loved her character as Phoebe in this film.
Ghost Busters After Life succeeded where the Sequel Trilogy failed, they got the OG crew together for a few scenes
RIP Ivan Reitman & Harold Raims
Can't believe you cut the entire ghost town chase AND the revelation of Egon's equipment setup in the mine out of your reaction😳
I always have very mixed feelings about 'bringing actors back ' using CGI etc. but this movie did it very respectfully
Constantly pushing up your glasses throughout the day - facts. If I wear contacts or have my glasses off, I still sometimes go to push my glasses up as a reflex at this point and just poke myself in between my eyes.
Also it's funny how the girl says I was probably caused by fracking but yet the strongest earthquake caused by fracking wasn't even registered
I loved this movie, I was way into Ghostbusters as a kid, my friends and I would pretend to be Ghostbusters on the playground at school. That ending with Peter and Dana kills me lmao.
As of right now, the next Ghostbusters film is set to be released on December 20, 2023, although no details have been released, and filming has not yet begun. Grace and Wolfhard have posted on social media that they are involved, but the official cast list has yet to be announced.
This is an absolute love letter to the fandom!
This movie was spectacular, i never understood the problem people had with this one. And years later they were still able to bring back the originals, whats not to love like come on the gap between each movie is crazy. R.i.P to my guy Harold Ramis. The best thing they did for this movie was having Ramis return one last time and technicallyhe was a main character from the afterlife. They did that!!!!!!
28:39 man this hit me in the gut watching these guys back in the 90s now years later seeing them all together definitely this movie connected so well and beautifully done
You said salt lines & that instantly takes me back to Supernatural 2 brothers who hunt the supernatural & they always used salt & rock salt in shotgun shells for ghosts!
15 seasons of awesome from 2005-2020 & that is something you DEFINITELY need to watch! One of the only shows I know that puts classic rock in the background when they hunt monsters & demons its soooo badass!
PLEASE react to that one! 😎😎😎😎
I saw the first films in the theater when I was a kid but I wouldn't say I'm one of those rabid fans of the series. That being said, I saw this a few months ago and was genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed it. I even got a little sentimental when Egon's ghost helped his granddaughter fight back against Gozer. Great job.
Such a wonderful sequel! I grew up with the original and getting to see this in theaters was amazing. I took my son with me to go see it and we both loved it! That ending especially. Brings on the water works every time.
As 33 year old who grew up with the originals owning all the toys and even having my own suit and still as a fan as an adult i went to see this movie nearly 40 times and have watched the bluray nearly as many times.......i cry at the end EVERY GOD DAMN TIME!
After Harold died I never thought we would get this especially after the mess that answer the call was (I still have never watched saw the trailer that was enough to know to me its not ghostbusters)
Yes, there will be another one. Jason Reitman and his writing partner Gil Kenan announced it a couple of months ago. It is set to be released during the Christmas season in 2023. The working title of the film is "Firehouse" and that is supposed to be a hint as to what the movie is going to be centered around. As for the main cast of Afterlife, most of them, if not all, are going to be the main cast in the next one as well. They've all (mostly) confirmed as much. And Ernie Hudson as Winston is supposed to play a prominent role in it. Dan Aykroyd has also confirmed his involvement. Who knows what Bill Murray will do as he has been notorious about being very picky when it comes to his roles, especially Ghostbusters. He usually shows up on the first or second day of shooting once he has made up his mind to do a movie.
There is also an animated Ghostbusters movie that is in the works as well. Jason said it is the last thing his father was working on before his passing and was his "passion project." We don't know anything about it other than that.
An assymetrical 4-vs-1 mulitplayer GB video game is set to come out some time this year or next year with both Mr. Hudson and Mr. Aykroyd involved. It looks like it'll be really fun.
Lastly, a new animated GB TV show is coming out as well. It will be released on Netflix. Don't know much else, but fans are hoping it is a continuation of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, or something similar to that. But it could very well be the animated misadventures of the characters from Afterlife. Who knows, but I hope it is good. But it certainly is a fantastic time to be a Ghostbusters fan right now. The franchise is in good hands with Jason Reitman at the helm. And this movie proved his dedication to it and to the fans of the series.
Damn what a timing man! I just watched the movie 10 minutes ago and gonna jump straight in to your reaction now! I really enjoyed it!
Any one notice egon turns into the no ghost logo ghost when he breaks up into particles?
I think it woulda been cool if there was more Paul Rudd in this movie. Not that it was absolutely needed but it woulda been fun
30:55 Podcast is really the future version of Ray he has the energy for this
Maybe the ONLY reason to watch 2016 Ghostbusters is to see if the comments match the film for yourself. Don't say you weren't told, you need to see a crappy movie to appreciate the good ones.
it honestly makes so much sense for you to watch this movie next instead of the 2016 ghostbusters lol. i was so worried you were going to be confused and/or turned off by it. honestly i don't know if anyone is excited for you to watch the other one.
I would absolutely play chess with a ghost... As long i usually win. If it became apparent the ghost was a better strategist than me, that's when I'm out.
RIP, Harold Ramis. I love that they included him in the movie and were respectful
I think that this was the movie people were wanting when the reboot with the ladies came out. The reboot is a good movie and definitely worth a watch (so funny) but it doesn’t pay the same homage to the originals that this one does.
Green lit 2 more movies... :):)
Ps we need more sequel's to 1980`s movies
Pps rumour is they remaking The Terminator 1984 version...
Rumor is part two to this movie will be the return of Vigo
All the OG actors except Harold Ramis (thus why they never showed his face outside of shadow) which is sad and mostly because him and Bill Murray weren’t talking since “Groundhog Day” till just before Harolds death
As for me, I was glad to watch the DVD, but I noticed when I watched it twice, I fell asleep (I'm old for one thing). I think the theme music carried the first movie, perhaps what I watched was a simple thanks to Harold Ramis 🎬
2916 maybe, but I would love to shout out my fav episodes of Real Ghostbusters for a compilation reaction.
For me , We spent years waiting for Ghostbusters 3. Every few years some one would say "Ghostbusters 3 coming soon" only to have some hold up or change. so this was a "Finally" moment Some people call the Video Game a solid part 3
Also according to Dan Aykroyd and rest in peace Harold Ramis before this one was made the Ghostbusters video game was also canon to the original storyline so I don’t know if you wanna play it but it’s not that long of a game and I do recommend it it’s a good play through very fun.
Wait a minute… YOUVE NEVER SEEN CHUCKY!? Bro please get on that and then watch the Chucky TV show it’s so good
I enjoyed this, had a different feel but I appreciate they had to so they could get a different audience. Really enjoyed the call backs (most missed all of them first watch, ie the books when they first arrived at the house being stacked the way they were in the first GB).
Definitely a different experience since we grew up with the original movies. Still very emotional for people to watch this movie, but a completely different level if you grew up with 1 and 2
The Sequel for this should come in December 2023.
He says "i need to get back into slasher films", while watching the series of Friday the 13th which is one of the originators of slasher movies lol :S
This movie was so good
This is completely random but u should check out Tokyo ghoul and jujutsu Kaisen
It was nostalgic as F!@# for us die hard fans.
22:38 Ok, it's clear she actually said some words here, but was later ADR'd to be 'rawr-rur.' My lip-reading isn't clean enough to guess what she really said.
To start out I've been a Ghostbusters fan for as long as I can remember. Ghostbusters 2 was one of the earliest films that I remember actually watching all of the credits for. I remember getting up on Saturday mornings to watch The Real Ghostbusters which celebrated it's 36th anniversary today. Prior to one misguided Lent I owned the firehouse a proton pack a pke a trap several of the ghosts from The Real Ghostbusters playsets as well as the Ecto. I still have VHS copies of the first two films as well as the 20th anniversary re-release and the three disc addition that was released with Afterlife. I own the 2009 game on PlayStation 3 as well as the 1989 Sega Genesis game and of course the NES original. I am DEFINITELY a Ghosthead. The history of Ghostbusters sequels was.....tumultuous to say the least. After Bill(Muarry) was unsatisfied with the production of Ghostbusters 2, he had it written that any sequels would need approval from Harold, Dan, Ivan and Bill. Couple this with a falling out that Bill had with Harold over the filming of the film Groundhog Day which apparently soured the friendship between Bill and Harold. Dan started writing scripts turning them in and they would get turned down and sent back causing a 30-year period of development hell. One of the more promising treatments was the Ghostbusters going to hell while training new recruits. This would become the basis for the 2009 game that he and Harold would pen as well as would reunite every single one of the main actors as well as two from the first film and one person from the second film. The critical Acclaim of the 2009 game caused Dan to once again pursue trying to write a third film but nothing really came of it. It seemed Sony was largely uninterested in a 3rd Ghostbusters film because of Bill consistently turning down the fabled Ghostbusters 3 over the years. So Dan wrote a script treatment where Peter would be killed off in the First Act and then show up as a spectral form in the finale. This one did show promise up until Harold's death in 2014. Also in 2014 was the infamous hack of the Sony servers, which leaked many internal memos and emails. Including an early script treatment for what would eventually be known as the 2016 reboot. Emails such as correspondence between then Sony president amy pascal and 2016 director paul fieg about cutting Ivan Rietman out of production. And while Dan was very courteous during the production after the film was released to critical and box office panning by many Ghostbusters fans Dan put the blame on paul himself. The debacle even caused amy to lose her job yet a writer in her contract has allowed her to continue ruining Spider-Man. Now unlike most people I was rather excited for the 2016 reboot. Even after the teaser trailer became the most hated trailer on all of TH-cam. And after the narrative Got Hijacked by the production people of Sony(under amy's direction I have no doubt) say that anybody who didn't want to go see this film was a woman hater and a misogynist( which led to death threats against James Rolfe who is known as the Angry Video Game Nerd on TH-cam after he said he wasn't going to be watching or reviewing the film). The cold open showed promise but as I said in that film every minute that passed by the film just got worse and worse to me and at the end I was bewildered at how Sony could treat the franchise with such disrespect. They didn't even do a proper dedication to Harold. But while the hopes of Ghostbusters fans were being dashed by that "film", it turns out that Ivan and his adult son Jason who had been in the first two Ghostbusters films( although the scene with Jason and his mother in the first Ghostbusters film ended up on The Cutting Room floor until this film) was working with his dad to craft a perfect legacy sequel that was a love letter to the Ghostbusters fans. That love letter starts out as what seems like a typical coming-of-age teen story and then very much becomes a Ghostbusters film and I was here for every minute of it. The moment Egon shows up it was instant tears. I eas a blubbering mess when it said For Harold and the classic song kicked in. I do not need to say anything about how incredible the cast was. And I am happy to report that this film is getting a sequel next year. I'm excited to see what happens next
Just want to point out the Ant-Man reference with the Baskin Robbins!
Gotta say, Gozer was much stronger this time around.
Save yourself the trouble of watching the 2016 "alleged" Ghostbusters. THIS ONE was fantastic.
Glad they return in their old age
Even slimer got old
Exactly what you said about the nostalgia for those of us that watched the originals back in the 80s. Seeing those guys come back was a huge flood of emotions for me. Especially with all the drama for years about trying to get this film done and Harold passing away. This was so well done and payed tribute to the originals in such a good way. That’s why that thing from 2016 is so despised and hated. They shit all over the original. Complete disrespect with what they did in that piss poor excuse of a film if it can be even called a film.
You should watch the Ghostbusters animated series '
Not as a reaction ' just in your private time '' , it's a great show
Weird how everytime I watch this movie somebody has sit under my nose and cut their onions right under my nose so it looks like I'm crying...but I'm not! Just weird.
Lol
Yes, they are making a sequel to this! 👍👍
2 more sequel's green lit.
@@kylereese4822 see unless the OG cast will be in it this will turn out to be just like the horrible fast & furious movies that have like 10 sequels!
I say stop it at this!
Yes I really enjoyed this one too! Love all the content!
RIP IVAN REITMAN AND HAROLD RAMIS!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best horror movies I have seen is called SILENT HOUSE. It is not a well known film but I almost couldn`t watch it because it was so dam stressful and terrifying. You can be the first on youtube to do a reaction to it! Once people see how good this movie is, they will be talking about it all over the net! I dare you to react to it.
Harold Ramis has passed away. thats why they kill him off at the beginning. part of this was filmed in a farm house in Alberta Canada. yessssss check out the 2016 one it's not horrible but it isn't the greatest.
Well, they didn't exactly have a choice in which ghostbuster was in the afterlife....RIP harold ramis
Well this movie was made by Harold Ramis' kid after he passed away.
You mean Ivan Reitman’s kid 🙂 Jason Reitman directed and co-wrote it and it was Ivan Reitman’s last producing credit before he passed away in February 2022.
I feel the whole glasses push up. That's why I stopped getting the one rubber nose piece. But I thought this was a really good movie. Definitely better then the other new one and cried at the Egon scene at the end
You should definitely check out Ghostbusters 2016 and make up your own mind about it.
That's not a stunt doubled as Egon. That's character actor Bob Gunton.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE IT WAS A NICE TRIBUTE TO HAROLD RAMIS AND PUT THE GHOSTBUSTERS ON THE RIGHT TRACK AFTER THE DISAPPOINTING 2016 REBOOT MOVIE!!!!!!
The Bill and Ted Trilogy took 31years from the first to the last lol. Should check it out. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (1991) Bill and Ted Face the Music (2020)
Awesome. Thanks man for all your work and content 😃
I live close to one of the locations where they were shooting the movie Fort MacLeod, Alberta Canada
Love this movie! Glad it wasn’t ruined
You gotta watch the chucky franchise next! Been DYING to see your reaction to those!
GB 2016, it's strange, I'd put it like that. It's shippable, but if you really want to watch it, the it's alright. It's a fun movie, tho.
I think they already confirmed their making another one with this newer generation and honestly I’m kinda excited. I do think one of them will come back for a big role , as this new generation will still need a mentor and based on the after credits it’ll most likely be Winston. I just don’t see Bill Murray’s character at this age willingly want to mentor , plus idk if bill murray wants to film another ghostbusters movie
Seattle is just okay. The montains and lakes are where it's at. Lake Colchuck, Keechelus Lake, Olympic National Forest, Palouse Falls, Twin Falls, Mailbox Peak, Snow Lake, Snoqualmie, Crystal Mountain, Moses Lake Sand Dunes, The Gorge, Columbia River, Pudget Sound, Manastash Ridge, Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helens...etc...
