Story telling doesn’t matter anymore. Throw in some retro stuff every 30 seconds, have a version of baby yoda, and just do the same exact 3rd act as the first Film, boom!!! Box office hit!!So, I just had a thought which formed a question. Seeing that Ghostbusters II was the way it was due to executive meddling, I have to wonder: how is Hollywood gonna screw up the next film? Or even better, how is Hollywood going to interpret this? Are they going to see that it was a good quality story with well developed characters and it made for the fans? Or are they going to read it as, "Oh, they like it because of the kids/family!"? I shutter to think it will be the latter instead of the former.

Lol I’d watch it!Maybe the new Ghostbusters will have to take care of an orphaned mini-marshmallow-man next time.
And the effects were super crap, especially the dogs and the compositing. So I didn't go in to this sequel with a ton of nostalgia.
I think you're right, but I also think that for the mid-80's, Ramos, Murray, & Akroyd were 3 of the most well known comedy actors. There was a LOT of shorthand that was kind of 'built in' to getting to know these characters, especially Murray.I love the original Ghostbusters. Effects and all. Though what made that movie special was that group of characters and their friendship as much as the quirky concept of ghost exterminators. Without those friendships the movie would have been a flop.
No this time they actually got Gozer in the traps, not sent back to the original dimension. So if they do Gozer again (they won't) then it has to happen differently.So in another 10 years will Gozer show up AGAIN?
