sad that one of them died but this feels like a loveletter not like a cashgrab that is not needed and they could just make a seqeul to the last movie but no they had to make a bad reboot

Reviews
I guess in this universe everyone just knows ghosts exist, because no one is that surprised about it. I love the mini Stay Puft marshmallow men.
I'm not sentimental about the original Ghostbusters in any sense, so I am not comparing this to its predecessor(s). This is a pretty easy and fun watch. The ghost action kicks off quickly. Mckenna Grace is endearing as Phoebe, especially with her dad jokes. She and Paul Rudd's Gary have great father-daughter chemistry, even though that is not their relationship. Overall it's not as funny as I would have liked, aside from those dad jokes and Paul Rudd doing his Paul Rudd thing.
As you may, or may not know, I am HUGE fan of the ORIGINAL “Ghostbusters”. I went into this with some trepidation. Didn’t care for the sequel, the “remake” was just OK. This one?

I really liked, MOST of it. Could have dropped the stupid mini Staypuft marshmallow men. Otherwise a nice combination of creativity and fan-service.
