Pogromcy duchów. Dziedzictwo

I liked it in the first half with its nostalgic retro vibe, but as it moves on and they start messing around with ghosts more, the new Ghostbusters becomes a nasty digital cringefest. The pleasantly energetic teenage adventure turns into a sort of shoddy respectful tribute to a couple of old-timers who save the day, though they look like they can barely stay on their feet. And the small town where it all takes place seems hilariously empty. (15.01.2022)

The first Ghostbusters crossed with an Amblin-like children's summer adventure in a small town. Yes, it's undeniably an instant double load of 1980s nostalgia, but it's so sensitive compared to many others who've tried their hand at something similar and overused it in recent years. In fact, it works for the most part on its own (perhaps only the final quarter is too shot-by-shot and the same film). When you add in that "Legacy" (even in a creative father-son Ivan/Jason way), it can conjure a smile as much as it can grab your heart. Much better than one would dare hope for a sequel that comes a decade or so later than it should. What's more, it's a successful sequel that doesn't try anything groundbreaking, but fills its box solidly and entertainingly. (20.03.2022)

A laid-back movie that mainly encourages you to watch the two preceding two parts. All of the characters are just great, likeable and well-acted. The central heroine with the face of Mckenna Grace is just wonderful. The wonderfully well-depicted nerdy outsider status with young side-kick Logan Kim carries Ghostbusters along with him in amazing way. Raitman decided for a Stranger Things type atmosphere, and he was right, because they are - you have to admit it - almost the same thing.  Then he added the Ectomobile and some other contraptions from the original Ghostbusters. The ending is more like a big cameo show/farewell (which hardened fans will certainly appreciate) than a full-blooded conclusion. The attempt at a different approach takes it down a little, but I understand that without it everybody would be disappointed. (09.01.2022)

Ghostbusters of the new generation and it's a fun ride for all ages. The story takes place three decades after the first film, we follow a mother and her two children moving to a small town, to a farm their grandfather has left them as his inheritance, and the adventure ride can begin. It has a Stranger Things feel to it, maybe maybe because of Finn Wolfhard, but I really enjoyed Mckenna Grace (by the way what an amazing career at 15 years old: Malignant and Ready Player One), who plays a science nerd and is without a doubt the most interesting and best character. The humour works occasionally, although nothing crazy happens, the visuals are ok, but the CGI monsters were the weakest part of the film for me, though I loved the marshmallow men, they were morbidly cute and could easily have deserved an extra ten minutes. The film also relies a lot on nostalgia and references, which of course work. The film is also nicely heartwarming at the end and the fairer sex might be moved, which counts. It's not a big hit, but as a horror comedy for kids where adults can have fun it works well enough. Story 4/5, Action 3/5, Humour 3/5, Violence 0/5, Funny 4/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 3/5, Atmosphere 4/5, Suspense 3/5, Emotion 3/5, Actors 4/5.7/10. (09.01.2022)

I enjoyed the first half more, balancing nicely on the edge of nostalgia, where it was still bearable. But then the digital crap kicked in (there's no substitute for practical 80s effects), and Finn Wolfhard made me feel like I was watching a weaker episode of Stranger Things. And as much as I love the old crew from the 80's classic, they unfortunately – and surprisingly to me – weren't the element that lifted the film up at the end. A brief reminiscence is not enough for me. And when the post-credit scene is the only fun thing in a film, there’s something wrong. (12.01.2022)
