I wanted to like Ghostbusters: Afterlife, but to me it's more like a 12-year old's Ghostbuster fanfiction than a true sequel to the first 2. The teenagers were alright, but the kids were not, especially the Asian podcast kid. Everytime he spoke my eyes wanted to roll back in their head. It was also missing most of the goofy charm of the original, the director was taking the source material way too seriously
Why is it so hard to make another regular Ghostbusters movie? Why does it have to be a kids movie, or a female empowerment piece?
