Review by: Glenn Kenny - AARP Movies for Grownups
If only the filmmakers could’ve shoehorned some actual jokes into this overstuffed confection, or served up action that didn’t look like it was edited in a digital shredder!

It’s all too much of nothing special and all too little of anything funny or fun.

Review by: Rafer Guzman - Newsday
After so many mishandled or abandoned series — from “Fantastic Beasts” to “Narnia” to “Percy Jackson” — it’s nice to see one that’s heading in the right direction.

Review by: Richard Whittaker - Austin Chronicle
Grace captures the confusions of being 15 and out of sorts, and she provides more than enough of an emotional through line to pull the film together, especially when complimented by the eternally charming Rudd.

The plot is pretty much a cut-and-paste duplication of the original film.

Review by: James Berardinelli - ReelViews
As scattershot and uneven as it is unnecessary, it fails to effectively build on the foundation laid in Afterlife while at the same time relegating the “old timers” into oddly-integrated super-cameo appearances.

Review by: Wenlei Ma - The Nightly (AU)
Until Ghostbusters decides if it wants to throw its lot in with one era or the other, it’s always going to be between two worlds. And that purgatory makes for a middling experience that doesn’t quite satisfy.

Review by: Michael Phillips - Chicago Tribune
Sometime around the eighth or ninth round of expository mumbo jumbo concerning the ectoplasmic nightmare about to happen, the movie starts moving sideways, not forward. Hate to say it, but: hold that ghost, indeed.

Review by: Stephen Romei - The Australian
The 1984 original was original and entertaining. This fifth instalment is not the former and barely the latter. The Ghostbusters song asks "Who ya gonna call?" My suggestion is call it quits, but I suspect there's a ghost of a chance of that happening.
