I have said it 100s of times, but once again ;) When all 4 Ghostbusters are together, Peters "I knew, you would turn up." Rays "Im sorry, i didnt believe you" and Winsts "I should have called, i miss you my friend" to me, even the first time in cinema, that never felt like the characters saying this to Egon.

What makes the ending even more powerful to me is knowing the history between Ramis and Bill Murray. They had a falling out while making "Groundhog Day" which essentially ended their friendship and they didnt speak for decades. They ultimately reconciled in Ramis' last days.

I don't like that they are handing it off to kids but I did like this movie and really hoping we get more adult Ghostbusters in the next movie. Ghostbusters to me has always been hope that adventures can happen to you as an adult. Kids have enough adventure stories, we need some too as adults. Stories about adult friendships and sticking together even when we get older no matter what.

Something like 15 years ago I’m driving south down Lake Shore Drive, middle of the summer, hit the part just north of the harbor, Columbus drive or so, and come to a stop at a light. I look next to me at a classic little Mercedes convertible, red, that has the top down and sitting in the drivers seat is Ramis. I remember looking, then look back at the light, it’s one of those moments you see in a movie where it doesn’t quite register, then it does. I look back, he looks at me, I wave and give a thumbs up, he smiles, the light turns green and he drives away. One of those really just surreal moments of random life. I sat there, cars honking at me, thinking “did I just randomly land next to Harold Ramis at a stoplight” then went to work. I really dug this when it came out, if you get a chance, watch Adam Savage’s Tested videos from back when this came out. He’s UBER Ghostbusters fan and got access to the set, props and even got to drive Ecto 1.

This is the TRUE Ghostbusters 3 I have been waiting for my whole life. Jason Reitman did his father (who wrote and directed the first 2 ghostbuster’s movies) proud. I went into the theater thinking that this would be a fun B grade movie and like everyone else in that packed IMAX left with tears of sadness and joy at how amazing this movie was. McKenna Grace as Phoebe is the absolute breakout star of this movie, she really is the true heir to Egon Spengler. And that final scene of Egon with everyone at the end made me and everyone else in that theater burst into cheers and then tears.😭😭👏🏽👏🏽 Fun Fact: Veteran actor Bob Gunton actually played Spengler and had Harold Ramis’ face digitally placed on him.

Having said that, I do not think any of the future Ghostbuster sequels can get away with this and I am glad Frozen Empire decided to model things after the cartoon show which is full of stories and not pull Vigo in as main villain.

I was lucky to attend the West Coast screening with Ivan and Jason Reitman when this came out. A few months later, I saw this at Sony Pictures Studios with Ernie Hudson, Jason Reitman and Logan Kim (Podcast). Logan was really nice. I thought it was really interesting that Bob Gunton (Demolition Man, Shawshank Redemption) played Egon in the beginning and Ivan Reitman played his spirit form at the end. There are a number of photos of both on set. I remember sitting in the theater and hearing sobbing when Egon showed up at the end. It was so emotional.

I love this movie so much. If I wanted to nitpick about things I could, but I don't want to. I think it's a perfect coda to the original movie's storyline, and a wonderful tribute to both Harold and Egon.

This was a great third installment to the franchise, Harold would have been proud. Any true GB fan tears up at the final scenes, Harold Ramis was an essential part of the franchise's success. Egon'd ghost was created with an actor stand in and using shots/clips from the first movies and aging them up. RIP Harold, neither you or Egon Spengler will ever be forgotten. That said, there are so many easter eggs in this one(especially in Egon's lab). I'm so hyped for Frozen Empire next month, the trailers are so good!

I got the opportunity to work with Ernie Hudson a few years ago. Ernie, was so humble, kind and down to earth. He truly is a great person

There were 2 more endings

The best part about Spengler's appearance at the end is he was played by Ivan Reitman in the scene via CG, the director of the original film and the unofficial fifth Ghostbuster.

Anyone who uses Waze for gps needs to check out their new settings they added. You can make your vehicle on the map be Ecto-1 & you can have Ray Stantz guide you with some neat ghost knowledge. 24:33 they had to change the current year on the wall cause the movie got delayed 26:17 he kept all the stuff important to him down in his lab. 30:20 but the way he was torn in half was like a ghost getting split in two.

RIP, Harold Ramis. I heard when people saw the "in memoriam", they were crying as Harold Ramis, Egon Spengler, was no longer with us.

The most emotional part though, was Bill Murray took it hard cause he was the last one to see Harold a few days before he died. They had a fallen out after they did Groundhog day and never spoke to each other. After he heard he had cancer he went to visit n they reconcile and forgave each other

Egon’s grand daughter is killer. I remember seeing her in a few films where she’s the youngest son’s crush at school or whatever, most notably in Fuller House. She’s Candice Cameron’s youngest son’s girlfriend. She just freaking jumps off screen with so much personality. She reminds me of Drew Berrymore, or Jodi Foster that way. I was so stoked to see her in this film and to see her looking so different than her long blonde haired prim and proper look she has sported a lot. Anyway, for me, she makes this film. She’s the closest thing to having Egon there. I’m super excited to see her career in the future. I hope she has a good transition into adulthood and ends up in the right rolls. I’m telling you, barring a drug addiction, or some scandal with a Kanye or something like that, she gonna win a lot of awards in her life. Totally over shadows the Stranger Things kid. The only one that gonna truly make it out of that show is Millie and she’s hanging on for dear life as it is. No one cared she was in the Godzilla films, wasted rolls for her. The Sherlock films she made for Netflix are really pretty fun. And she produces those herself apparently. Sorry for the side track. EGON’S GRANDDAUGHTER =AWESOME

I think they handled Egon's swan song perfectly. And the VFX benefited from the ghostly effect, and not having him speak. The former obscured the sense of an uncanny valley, and the latter kept the illusion from breaking, as human mouth movements are notoriously difficulty to recreate. I love Rogue One, but the more they linger on Tarkin, and the more he speaks, the less it feels like Peter Cushing, and the more it feels like a digital trick. They needed to dodge that outcome here in order to really make the emotional beats work, and they did a fantastic job.

Hello CinePals, I'm glad that you loved the movie. I strongly recommend that you watch the animated series. It is excellent as it provides a treasure trove of what could be adapted for future movies. They could go anywhere with this franchise. The premise of the franchise is flexible. They can do anything with it. This franchise if handled right could go on forever. Anyway, hope you are looking forward to the latest film "Frozen Empire." It looks fantastic!

20:29 Upgrades on Ecto-1 were in the cartoon (jumpseat) but I don't know how they knew about the RC door in the floor. Kristen made me cry again!

Thia is the gjostbuster continuiation we needed. The movie is awesome. Little egon is adorable. The truth is, this one had waaaaayyyyy better actors than the all girl one, and it honoured the first, a continuation of it.

This movie was so well done with so many callbacks to the original 2 movies. The whole Igor Shandor was a call back to the conversations they were having while in jail back in the first movie.

The beautiful thing about this movie as much as it’s about ghostbusting, it’s about Family so much so it ends with a hug.

I love this movie so much. It's such a great tribute to the legacy of Harold Ramis/Egon Spengler. Also, I really love how Phoebe is the autistic 2.0 Ghostbuster. You very rarely see heroes on the Autism Spectrum portrayed so positively.

Hey, awesome show, guys. Having seen these movies when I was a kid and then seeing this one not as kid😀, yeah, it was a tear jerker. Keep up the terrific work 👌 👏 👍 😀

Just in time for the 40th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters

McKenna Grace is the one singing No One Leaves A Haunted House it's her own song she wrote it and sang it

18:38 , that was real frustration😂

Egon's presence without dialogue was for a few reasons (some theories). A big reason from what I read is that nobody dared to replace Harold Ramis with any lines in the movie. Another is that his voice may not have seemed too fit (if that makes sense) his old character. The visual only did make it more emotional. A theory is that there's a learning period with interactions in the real world as a ghost. He was invisible at times moving things for phoebe and finally he's seen at the end. Who knows

Fun Fact: The Aztec Death Whistle was made by Adam Savage from Mythbusters, he now does a youtube channel Tested, and did it on there

Ya they fucking nailed this movie. I remember most of the theater tearing up when Egon showed up at the end

This movie devastates me every time. Egon was my all time favorite and I loved him

Now Afterlife is how you do a faithful sequel to such an amazing franchise, which is why it was successful enough to warrant a follow-up film unlike that one film in the franchise that won't be named. I for one am definitely looking forward to Frozen Empire when it drops. What was even more impressive about this film is that it basically had a female lead with Spengler's granddaughter being supported by other well suited cast members and managing to have all the "feel good moments" without going "woke" and taking away from the original films. If they follow this formula for the next one I imagine Frozen Empire will do just as well if not better than Afterlife in the box office.

This made me cry too !! Still does, but I like how they had Egon’s ghost helping out Phoebe and all!! They say ghost have unfinished business and won’t crossover until they do !! 😢🥺

The scene with Phoebe outside the car was actually a stunt double not CGI.

The actor they got to body double Ramis for the ghost scene spent WEEKS studying his movements and behaviors as Egon to do it right and it totally pays off.

Podcast is SO AMAZING in this film. He's like a deleted character from The Goonies or something. Perfect for the movie.

I watched this just the other night. It was really great. Five thousand thumbs up!!!

The car Ecto 1 was actually the screen used ecto 1A from Ghostbusters 2. They souped it up and supercharged it to drive like that. Sony had it rusting away in some backlot. The original Ecto 1 from the original movie was completely restored and is at Ghost Corps Headquarters in Hollywood.

I’m pretty sure the scene with the kids and the map with all the other kids around them, was a call back to how in the original where they were talking about what’s going on with the building and had the plans inside the jail cell and everybody else was just listening over the shoulders. “Is everybody getting this so far?!”

Have to say I adored this movie and seeing it fresh again through new eyes was a great delight. Thank you.

It is such a gamble to bring back someone that has passed away, but I feel that they did it very tastefully, and really honored him as the actor and the character he played.

I thought the fact that they kept Egon silent was the best choice. In the end, I felt it spoke volumes. ❤

Last scene always gets me

Oh yall missed the 2nd post credit scene! Sets up our next sequel of the franchise coming out next month!

I dont know why people are so mad at this film...it makes no sense. Its such a great movie!!! The homages are well done & the tribute to Harold is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Cant wait for Frozen Empire!!

@Cinepals you missed a after credits scene one of Harold ramis from the first movie and Ernie Hudson’s Character talking about being a ghostbuster with The Lady who picked up the phone when somebody called

Jaby Answering your question, both Jason and his late father, Ivan Reitman made a decision not to have Egon speak. Because Egon's nonverbal shows more emotion. Jason had a veteran character actor named Robert (Bob) Gunton as body double for Ramis. Gunton has been in a lot of movies such as Patch Adams and Shawshank Redemption.

2 movies make me cry every time, thus one when Harold Ramis first appeared helping Phoebe then his friends (the other Toy Story 3 at the end when he plays with his toys for the last time with Bonnie then leaves).

Loved your reactions to this. The end gets me every time. My wife and I dressed as ghost Egon and Phoebe for Halloween in 2022 and plan to again when we see Frozen Empire next month.

The director of the film is Jason Reitman, who is the son of Ivan Reitman, who directed the original film. He had actually remained friends with the daughter of Harold Ramis, the two had met on the set of the original ghostbusters. one of the stipulations for this film that he insisted on was that Harold's family be involved, esp with everything revolving around Egon. they had final say, and everything was passed to them for approval. So everything you see in the final film, Harold's family signed off on. to me, thats all i needed to hear. I love this film and i was a wreck during the ending. so much so i had to rewatch the end immediately after because i had missed stuff because i was crying so hard.

Kirsten just nails it, well done guys, another great reaction team, who we gonna call? 🤘

The scene with the other kids listening in the restaurant was an homage to the scene in the first movie when they’re in jail and the jailmates listen to Gozer story

I have watched this movie over and over and yet the ending still breaks me every time

When the cops insulted Egon "That escalated quickly"

I went and saw this on opening day in theaters, and it got me. There’s nothing quite like being a middle aged man crying his eyes out in the movie theater. This was such a fun movie. The original Ghostbusters is my all time favorite movie, and this was a wonderful follow up. I hope Frozen Empire is at least as good. Thank you for sharing your experience with this movie with us. Believe me when I say you aren’t the only people who openly wept. A good chunk of the fandom was right there with you.

Them paying respect to Harold Ramis in this movie was so satisfying. It made me cry myself knowing how sad it was just to lose the brains behind a great movie

It's ok to tear a little up, always remember...its for Harold!❤

I watched this in 2021 and left in tears, remembering the times as a teen in the early 00's my dad and I ordered pizza and got it from Movie Madness here in Portland, Before KZread was a thing... and we loved both the first and second. I feel like this was a nice tribute to Egon/the original Actor Harold Ramis. I also get the idea that Dan Akroyd who is a fervent believer in the paranormal is my fave to know about such, and the "Afterlife" and it's properties and possibilities and how to commune with spirits... I have always identified as "Spooky" in many ways... I got that Existential dread from the film that the OG film never did by tackling death before, and how it must be to be existing with "Unfinished Business" and how grieving works... even in funny or humorous ways. I loved the film and I was moved to tears at the end, and even more so with McKenna grace's pop song "Ghosts" love the fun reaction CinePals!

It’s amazing how the smartest person in the group is the first one to go. The Black/African Descent Actor’s character is going to out live them all.

Ivan Reitman directed GB 1 & 2. His son Jason "you know, my dad says you guys are full of crap" grew up on those movie sets & knows what goes into making a GB movie better than anyone else. He became a respected & acclaimed filmmaker himself, but didn't stray far from indie films like "Juno" & "Thank You for Smoking". When he was (often) asked if he thought about following in his father's footsteps & making a Ghostbusters movie, he always shrugged it off saying that it would be the most boring GB movie ever because it would be about quirky, angst-ridden people sitting at a table talking about GB, because he doesn't do big, epic, heavy-effects blockbusters like his dad. Fast-forward to 2019 when, after being inspired by a dream about a 12yo girl firing a proton pack & her 16yo brother driving Ecto-1 through a field, he shocked his dad saying he wants to make a follow-up GB movie. It turned out to be a timely decision because Ivan (as producer) was on the set every day with Jason directing & it was a special bonding moment. Less than a year after release, Ivan passed away. It makes the context of the movie even more poignant.

Such a great reaction! Love the emotions in it. It is one of those perfectly done sequels. I think it was very good that they kept Egon silent, as I felt it would have been too much. They honored his memory rather than 'used' his memory. As for the 2016 movie - don't worry about it - just look forward to Frozen Empire.

This was a great reaction and review. Everything was spot on! I thought for sure after so long and how many times Ive seen it...surely.. SURELY I would not cry at the end. NOPE. I lost the battle, again.
