This movie is a proper sequel to the original Ghostbusters movies. It captures the nostalgia and humor of the original in a way that the 2016 failed to do.
If you want to discuss details then please use spoiler tags, but mostly I just want to let everyone know that this movies feels like a proper Ghostbusters movie. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I don't believe there were any direct references to 2 but that doesn't confirm it never happened. Lack of evidence not being evidence of lack, and all that. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I would call it a fitting tribute, but it wasn't particularly somber. colliding posted... Not interested unless it's a sequel to girl-bossters It is not. 2016 Ghostbusters had some okay moments, but imo the humor just wasn't right.

Work at the theater and haven't seen much aside from the ending, and the post-credits scenes (plural!), but a comparison struck me out of the blue a few hours ago. This is a proper sequel to Ghostbusters from the five minutes I've seen. In tone, in spirit, in comedy, in characters. The 2016 movie is... anyone remember the MTV Movie Award skits with Jack Black? Like LotR parody and the Spider-Man kiss, and they're sort of funny but not really that great? The 2016 movie is Jack Black's MTV Movie Award skits stretched out for two hours. With Jack Black as all four Ghostbusters. --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD ...

Fun fact it has a lower score on RottenTomatoes than the 2016 version. And a much higher IMDB score.

The RLM review absolutely excoriated it. I generally trust them over the b8 hype machine and RT. I'll watch the video and see what their thoughts were, but if their main point was just that it leaned into the nostalgia of the original too much then I'm probably just going to disagree on principle that this is necessarily a bad thing. The movie was not a half-assed cash grab. It introduced new characters that I cared about (Maybe not Trevor and Lucky as much but everyone else, definitely. Particularly Phoebe and Podcast.) The humor was very dry like the original and it all just sort of worked for me. My biggest nitpick was the spoiler tagged response I posted above and it by no means ruined the movie. --- ...
