Forget the evil idiotic critics! This movie was AWESOME! My favorite movie of 2021 by a long mile. The story is great and keeps you entertained, and engaged the entire time. The cast was excellent, and the way it connects to the originals was exceptional.
Jason Reitman knocks it out of the part as the director, and really does honor his fathers for, and what came before it unlike the horrible 2016 remake which was a complete crap fest... This movie gave us something the Star Wars sequels didn't.
This movie gave me that feeling like I was a kid again and the ending had me in tears. I can't wait to repeat view this in theaters a bunch of times. LOVED This movie... Great work to all involved, and thank you for bringing back to life properly the Ghostbusters! Can't wait for more.
