Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

[Sahare Studios]

Interesting to see folks less than happy with it.

I agree it was not as good as Afterlife. But I think that's much more of a comment on how great Afterlife was, than any lack of quality on Frozen Empire's part.

When I first saw the trailers, I was actually really skeptical about all of the "extra" actors they added to the cast. But after having watched it, I was really really pleased with how well all the characters fit. I liked the family dynamic of the new cast. And it was even real nice to see 'ol Dickless play his part.

I bought it on digital for $25, and I'm more than happy with the price I paid. It'll go into the regular funsie movie rotation.

It wasn't so much the story but the "jokes". Some of the jokes were so bad the actors in the scene actually cringe at them in character (obviously scripted). I don't know why the higher ups decided to make the comedy consciously "cringe" and expect it to do well.

Why Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire's Reviews Are So Much Worse Than Afterlife

Why was the new Ghostbusters so poorly received?

I honestly enjoyed this more than afterlife, the story seemed fresh to me

But they’re the same design. I didn’t notice any difference between the old ones and the new ones. Except for the brass laced cyclotron for the final battle and Janine’s wrist throwers (but that’s just one scene). Outside of that, the “new” packs aren’t noticeably different.

im talking about the ones with all the extra crap on them, the ones with the yellow bumper, that came out of the van.

there was some great shots of the OG hero packs in the locker, and one was even done up like GB2 greeblies on it, loved that touch
