Saw the new Ghostbusters movie yesterday. The pacing could have been a bit better and they try to cram in too many characters, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a fun mix of the original films crossed with the Real Ghostbusters animated series. Solid story and a cool villain as well.
Aykroyd brings so much joy to his role and almost steals the show. You can tell he just loves making these movies. McKenna Grace was excellent once again as Phoebe, and I liked the family dynamic between her, Carrie Coon, and Paul Rudd's characters. This one felt like the last adventure for the OG crew before the new gang fully takes over the firehouse. Overall I'd put this movie on par with the previous film. Afterlife moved at a slower pace and tugged at the heartstrings a little more, while this one is busier with more action and Ghostbusting. Hopefully they can make at least one more of these.
