This isn’t a sequel to the 1984 film. It’s a sequel to spinoff merchandising objects and the coddled memories of kids who were too young to understand that the “Keymaster” and “Gatekeeper” bit was a sex joke. It strip-mines a nostalgia for something that never existed, as calculatedly phony as the ersatz Americana setting, shot in Alberta, Canada. “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” treats with pseudo-religious reverence the events of a movie in which a ghost blew Dan Aykroyd in a firehouse.
Fuckin Brutal. Ban all fandoms why do they keep trying to make sequels and shit to a two hour SNL sketch that has never worked outside of that one movie
God’s Not Dead has a 75% audience score too, people gotta chill with Rotten Tomatoes and metacritic them shits is why mediocrity is the target at the cinema lately and not something to be avoided
Half of movie marketing today is pumping up people’s culture-war reactionary tendencies, in order to turn everything into “cult classic” material.
You don’t try to make a good movie. You just run a bunch of bots that tell people “If you don’t like this movie then you’re not my friend” and bully people into liking it.
