[It] relaunches the franchise with a mostly funny and solid offering. Hearkening to the great movies of the 80s, this film follows a group of very capable and hilarious kids who save the world from destruction.

It has its moments... but they don't make up for a general flat-footedness and tendency to wobble.

Rated: 2/4

It’s a film that unwittingly says so much about where we are as consumers of pop culture, and that portrait is painfully depressing.

Rated: 1/5

Breathe of fresh air for the franchise. Funny, heartwarming, charming, exciting, nostalgic, & of course Spooky. It builds off of what made the original so good & never stopped. McKenna Grace though? SHES A STAR🥲

A heartfelt reignition of a beloved franchise. Great new casting added and makes this long awaited sequel a great watch for kids and adults alike. They handled Harold Ramis's (semi) absence with grace and honored his memory as well.

Was a great ride. If you were a child that loved the movies or the cartoon, if you are a young adult and like fun action movies that also have humor and wit, this is the movie for you. Very entertaining, lots of Easter eggs and nostalgic moments. If younger me that watched the cartoon and movies made a check list of what I would want in a future movie this checks almost everything . Can't wait for the next installment.
