" Citations. Only man to shoot down three enemy planes in the last 40 years. Yet you can't get a promotion, you won't retire, and despite your best efforts, you refuse to die. You should be at least a two-star Admiral by now, yet here you are. " * Minor Spoiler warning * My first impressions of this movie after walking out of the theater are just one word. Wow. That's all I can really muster myself to say after a full two years of waiting for this film to release. Not only is this new movie a perfect balance of comedy, tragedy, love, nostalgia, and trust but it's also a great way to show how many years have passed in filmmaking while still paying perfect homage to the OG and masterfully created original film. From the very beginning of the film ( Original intro with the song ' danger zone' ) it's clear that this movie was not created to cover up the original as some films do, it was merely made to add to Maverick's legacy he left on everyone back in the originals. Not only do some of the beloved piolets such as Warlock, Ice, and Mav return but along with them comes a new batch, a brand new generation of fighter piolets that are just as wonderful as the cast in the old film. It's nice to see new faces, new call sighs, and new challenges with navigating the world of teaching which is very foreign to a now much older and still respected Maverick. Not only is there a good amount of inclusion with POC, and women ( Go Phenoix! ) but this movie helps to show how much we as a society have come since the 80's when the first movie was released. I think one of the most important things about this film is its emotional outreach. It shows Mav's struggle with letting go of Goose's death as well as earning Brad's ( Goose's son) trust back after things happened in the past. I can tell you right now half of the theater was crying about every ten minutes! Overall this film is 10/10 and I would give it 100 stars if I could. It helps to bring back some of the classic favorites as well as passing the torch and teaching less about being able to let go. Thank you so much to everyone who worked on this movie, it's nothing short of an absolute masterpiece! R.I.P Iceman

Wow, just wow is all I can say! I absolutely love this show, it's just... This show holds a place in my heart. It is absolutely exciting that we get to see this batch of clones again after out ( Jam-packed ) but a short time in the Clone Wars series! Through even the first 5-7 episodes, the character progression has shown so much! But there is much, much more than just that! Starting off this show just reminds me so much of the Clone Wars. Every episode brings me back to the battles with our favorite clones in the Clone Wars ( With appearances from past characters in the actual Clone Wars series ). Secondly, I was very excited we got to see Echo in action. When he left in the Clone Wars I was extremely afraid we were not going to be able to see any more of him as he had now parted with the Bad Batch. Echo's one of the originals and just is so special to so many people. Third I love how the animators were able to capture this even from many perspectives rather than just a few. We had great insight into what was happening with characters such as Rex and or Ahsoka but never got the standpoint of a civilian or even at that a different clone as these Bad Batchers are! Overall this was just everything I could have wanted and more. And please let me tell you, if you read the negative comments it will get to your mind. I'm an absolute fan and those comments discouraged me so much. But keep your head high and give it a chance! You never know until you try! _________________________________________________________________________ - Stay out of trouble. - Funny. I was gonna say the same to you. Well...

WARNING: SLIGHT SPOILERS AND A ESSAY AHEAD! Pretty much perfect in every way! At the beginning of everything, and watching the trailers being honest I wasn't sure of what to completely think. The actors looked interesting and the CGI looked great, but I was at a standstill with what they were going to do plot-wise, and if they would decide to bring back our beloved favorite Egon who's actor passed away in 2014. Despite all these questions and the negative reviews from critics, the movie was beyond beautiful in so many ways! It was such a perfect balance of emotion and action and was able to show the future of Ghostbusters while paying homage to the original films. There were awesome jokes that got the entire theatre laughing, and not to mention a TON of easter eggs all from the original 1984 and 1989 films. One of the biggest things that I also saw was the stunning CGI villains I guess you could say. The terror dogs looked so much more polished from the originals, and the ghosts were created in such a way one could believe that they were real. The contrast from the 1984 movie to now with CGI is incredible. I really loved how much effort and work was pumped into making things look as well as they could. And let's not forget the awesome actors who played a huge role in the making of this story! My absolute highest kudos to McKenna grace the actress who played Pheobe. The characters were bright and fresh, but so deeply resembled their counterparts from the past movie! I really enjoyed the ' drama ' and tension between Callie and Egon as well. Callie never really knew who her father was and thought nothing more of him until further into the movie. The amount of character growth with some characters seemed to drag on a little but was worth it in the end. But I think out of all these praises the largest and best thing of the entire movie was it was a giant tribute to Harold. Egon has always been my favorite out of the boys in grey, and his death really still impacts me to this day. I was afraid that it would seem right without him and brought the questions of how they would address his death in the movie, but Ivan and his son pulled it off perfectly. If I knew Harold was watching from above, I surely know he would be happy. Egon will always live on in our hearts, and this movie made sure we remember it! I know that generations of families whose parents watched the originals will show this new adaptation to their children and possibly even more to come. ( I see how you left it open for another movie ;) Thank you to all the talented directors, actors, effects, and everyone else who helped make this movie possible. Please don't be deterred by the critics and sceptics, this movie is well worth the time. From the hardcore fans to those who just watched the originals I hope you enjoy this film as much as I have! Alright, I got to say it. WHO YOU GONNA CALL?!?! ( SIDE NOTE: WATCH UNTIL THE VERY END! THERE IS A ENDING CREDIT SCENE THAT REALLY HITS HARD FOR ALL OUR JANINE X EGON FANS OUT THERE! )
