YHS just posted some spoiler free reactions from themselves just as they finished watching it:
Once again, sounds like I’m gonna love it lol
(there was a twitter screenshot here)
edit: I got it wrong nvm
I just wanna know if RPJ theme is in the movie (original, not the re-recorded one nor the remix in the trailers) and whereabouts it is 
How was it?
Every bit as amazing as I expected. The Ghostbusters belong in New York, and it hits the spot.
On the same level of Afterlife? How would you rank it with the other GB films?
Honestly? I feel it’s better than Afterlife. It definitely moves along a lot faster. No “dead” spots or parts that dragged on. Rank? GB1, GB2, FE, & Afterlife.
I’ve heard it’s got some sad parts at the end
Maybe my definition of sad is different, but no not really. No tears shed from anyone I saw that’s for sure.
Was there any agreement attendees had to sign to not give away spoilers publicly?
Nope.
Yay or nay? Without spoilers?
Big yay.
Yes, and he was in attendance at the premiere. It didn’t sound like a new mix to me…
Guys. It’s not “dirt” they threw at the movie. It’s their opinion. A valid one.
Afterlife was a member berry fest. If nostalgia isn’t your thing, then I don’t think it’s a cynical take to say the movie is bad. Or boring.
If your a critic and see something like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man AGAIN only this time he’s all Baby Groot/Baby Yoda/PORG’s/Minions it’s not hard to see that the movie is really unoriginal and lazy.
Nothing about Afterlife felt fresh. The Amblin Goonies style movie has been done to death now. And Finn Wolfhard has been cast in 3 of them!
Had they been first on that bandwagon, before Super 8, & 3 seasons of Stranger things, IT,? It might’ve hit different.

You just made my night. I can go to bed happy!
I disagree, Afterlife was so much than that.
some people just can’t see it 
Thanks! I mean… I guess the definition of sad for a lot of us being characters dying. Basically… did that happen (spoiler thread and I don’t personally care, but could use tags or DM if you’d like).
Was the angst level balanced? I know it’s subjective, but I liked the characters in GBA and was a bit concerned they’d get annoying in this one.
No one dies.
Not even the ghosts?? 
Or does that not count since they already previously died?
Oh you!
So, any predictions on the success this will have (domestically and/or internationally)? edit: Tonight’s crowd was full of fans, but do you think that broader audiences will also like it?
Thanks Deadderek! Glad you enjoyed it and relieved it’s got a positive review from a fellow superfan.
I’ll now be able to ignore this thread until I’ve seen the movie 
Is Moranis in the movie?
Is there any discussion of the time period between GBII and Afterlife?
I think the straights will like it. No idea on any box office predictions in today’s crazy world.
No. No Moranis. Nor is Tully referenced in the movie at all. Also before anyone asks nothing about Oscar either.
Discussion of the time period between characters? No. Is it brought up? Yes kinda.
Heard there was a major cameo. Since it’s not Moranis, I’m just curious if it’s Ghostbusters-related at all, or perhaps some other type of cameo?
I think they picked the worst time to release it,sandwiched between Godzilla,Kung fu Panda and Dune.
I also think they fumbled a bit on the marketing.
In an effort to avoid spoilers in the main trailers they just hid alot.Only to almost spoil everything in the tv spots.
I don’t know if it’s a hot take but i never thought i was going to get any ghostbusters sequel for YEARS and after 2016 i thought the franchise was buried,fact that Afterlife even exists felt like a miracle.So if Frozen Empire underperforms and Sony freaks out and pulls the trigger i won’t be too sad.Sad for the new cast but hey.I got not only a GB 3 but a GB4,13 year old me who searched for any GB3 news back in the 2000s would be pretty happy
Could totally see another Jason Reitman friend popping up,i remember doing a double take seeing Jk Simmons and Olivia Wilde in Afterlife
Major? I wouldn’t call it major. Minor and extremely surprising. If someone says they saw this cameo coming they’re full of it. It’s definitely Ghostbusters related as it’s a character we haven’t seen since the original film.
On a cool note, when the theater let out I was able to get a picture with the person as they were leaving.
