Review: ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ (spoiler-free)

Back in 1984, magic was made with the production of the now-beloved film Ghostbusters. For the uninformed, I’d suggest going and watching the episode of Netflix’s show The Movies That Made Us about the production of the film. For the sake of this article, I’ll sum it up in a few words: hectic and improbable. Somehow, they overcame all of their

But he’s also a director that likes to take his time, and I can understand why some people lose patience with a film like this.
