Ghostbusters Afterlife

I’m a huge Ghostbusters movie fan.   I love the franchise in general, but mostly the films, even the 2016 one. 

I never watched the cartoon, and I didn’t finish the video game from a few years back.  I did back both Ghostbusters games on Kickstarter, and I still have my copy of the old West End Games RPG.

I liked this movie.

It was a slow build up to an awesome last 30 minutes or so.

The actors were great in their roles, the story kinda meandered a bit here and there.

And I cried.  For reasons.

If this is the start of a new GB franchise, I’m all for it.  The just need to tighten up the story telling, I think.

Recommended, with the caveat that Ghostbusters fans will enjoy it more.

Eternals

I really liked it.

In the past I’ve described these movies as”[genre/trope] with superheroes”.

This was… indescribable in those terms.

Superhero movie with superheroes, maybe.

But yeah, I really liked it.

On it’s own, one of the best films I’ve seen this year.

In MCU rankings, this one doesn’t crack my top 5, maybe not even my top ten.

What little I know about the Eternals didn’t sway my enjoyment one way or another.

Though the end credits scene has me more intrigued than the mid-credits scene, which was also intriguing.

I kinda wanna see it again already, but I think I can wait for Disney+ to pick it up.

We’ll see.

Oh, and it appears that another trailer scene was absent from the film.
