Sequels based on nostalgia are usually flops. Not his one! This is a success and one with a soul as well!
What I would like to add though, is that obviously people who have watched the originals and liked them, are going to find this one great.
For almost everyone else this is a fun family movie, with just a tiny bit of that secret sauce from the 80s.
Reading through critics reviews, once again I see why professional art reviewers are more than often failed artists. There are a lot of them who call this a shallow nostalgia money grab. This couldn't be farther from the truth.
The characters are likable, the script is a typical ghostbusters one, the mix of cgi and practical effects was a nice touch. Everything works.
It is a new movie, a new cast, new premise that builds on the prequels, and just the right amount of trip down the memory lane, to lift it up.
Beautiful and touching! Bravo to Jason Reitman, he did this justice!
