Enjoyable and fun

On no planet is this a 1/10 or 3/10 movie, those reviews seem to be by people hating because they feel only movies from their era count, whilst I've had issues with new franchises like turtles not doing the originals justice, this is still massively respectful of its originals, it's just more modern which is fine.

The story is great, all makes sense and there's nothing that you won't follow, the effects are really good, the design work is beautiful, I think the cast on the whole is really well put together and have a decent chemistry although Paul Rudd doesn't age and is the same character in every film but I like him so that's fine.

There's some modern drama, mostly involving the young girl, she's a great actor, we couldn't say for sure if it was a gay love angle or just friendship but it was good and nothing to upset or annoy anyone.

The guy from stranger things barely has any lines, wondered if he's got older is he not as good?

The comedy was very good, they clearly had people play to their strengths. Kumail was excellent.

I got the impression they may revisit old ghosts or use this as a bit of a reset which makes the next one exciting, end credit scene didn't offer much, they need to have a symbol up to indicate if there is one.
