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.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

[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.

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🥲
