Watched on the flight between Taipei and SFO.
It was alright, a fair continuation of the next gen ghostbusters despite too much Paul Rudd (even a little Rudd is too much for me). Like the previous, it gets good when it throws back to the original Ghostbusters. Grace McKenna (Phoebe Spengler) has a stand out newcomer performance. Kumail Najiani has a good role that works for him at the start, but then strays and evaporates where it could've double downed and been funnier. Lots more Easter eggs, lots of plot holes like what is up with the mini-StayPuft ghosts? Lawd, I sound like Greg with that dumb question. But entertaining if not taken too seriously. I liked the Melody storyline, which I should've predicted but wasn't paying that much attention - she was played by Emily Alyn Lind who was the child version of Amanda in Revenge.
Only recommended for Greg because he seems to be the only D00Mer that cares about Ghostbusters anymore, and that recommendation is just to hear more dumb questions.
