Netflix Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 👻

This is definitely one of those instances where the critics & fans are gonna be on different sides of the fence. This shit was entertaining it didn’t have to be anything more than that.
 
Going Bust !!

PRAISE : Fourty Years after the first movie brings fans of the series to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and its story about the discovery of an ancient artifact that unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old team up to try and stop it. The strongest parts of the story involve McKenna Grace’s Phoebe and and Emily Alyn Lind as Melody. Even though I could see where their part of the story was going it was definitely the most charming and involving thread. Grace does well with the sense of longing and wonder for Phoebe has.
If anyone is looking for GB nostalgia there is tons of it here and I really didn't mind some of it.I liked that Ernie Hudsons Winston Zeddlemore was the voice of reason. There is a great scene with him and Dan Akroyds Ray Stantz
The villain and look of the villain was very interesting also it's power set was thrilling to see. There are some great scenes involving animation, new ghost busting tech and a handful of new ghosts. There are never really any laugh out loud moments but definitely a few chuckle worthy moments. Yes its still great to see the veteran, core Ghostbusters even though they are underused.

PROBLEMS: To many cast members with not much to do. I can just see the producers and casting standing around saying: well this actor/comedian has a fan base let's put them in the movie for a scene or two. Unfortunately those scenes are painfully unfunny and dull. The shtick that worked in previous GB films is overdone in this movie so much so I found myself begging the movie to move on. Some moments felt tacked on and cheesy. I guess it all depends on how much cash the movie can scare up if another GB movie will be made but I'm fine with the films ending here.

Scale of 1 to 10 a 5½
 
I will say this tho, they should probably end the franchise with this movie cuz I don’t think you can squeeze much else out of this. The novelty of seeing the original cast has run its course. While the newer cast is cool two movies is probably enough.
 
Should of had Winston go back to NY and him and Paul Rudd find 2 other adults to bring back the 4 man adult team in NY. Paul Rudd was a perfect modern GB with his humor.

That would have been better.. and if they wanted some youth they could have got Oscar, the little baby from part 2 to join them as a grown man
 
Got around to watching it yesterday. Definitely a B.
It was too focused on the lil girl but did love the scenes with Slimer
