So I finally watched Frozen Empire..

Am I the only one who thought it didn’t drag? In fact I think it should have breathed more

Honestly, unless we get a TV series. Beyond a montage, there will not be much ghost busting in any movie, and even then a montage doesn’t make narritive sense in a movie that doesn’t involve the Ghostbusters getting famous again, after being out of business, again.

The problem is they're trying to make these movies more cost-effective, so that means less spectacle. I think it's good that they're trying to rein in the budgets, but it does mean there's limitations on what they can do.

My problem is having Phoebe making the foolish choices she does. She’s so much smarter than that.

This is actually the thing I love about the ghostbusters honestly. Like even the original movies is mostly science and lore and research etc than actual busting of ghosts so I think this film pulled it off beautifully. The thing that hurt the 2016 film with the all girls wasn’t the all girls cast it’s that they tried to make it a faster pace by going “well I invented this and it works just cause it works”. Didn’t embody the spirit (pun intended) of the films very well.

Edit: also I would love a Lower stakes ghostbusters film.

I think at this point Ghostbusters would be better as a TV show. With less fan service please.

Just finished no.2.. wasn't as good as 1 but that's how movies are..

What makes me question is, the magic of raising undead, the dark magic, the flame master magic.. yes im calling it magic but, theirs no origin to where these powers come from?

Or like, if their was their would be a "Magic" society by now.

Can we just talk about this picture for a second? I saw the movie twice and both times this was the actual point that took me out of the movie because I thought "why tf is he wearing sunglasses?" Where did he get them? Did he bring them? Did he put them on just to take them off dramatically? It was dark as shit in there.

I fell asleep during it lol never done that in a movie theater before lol

I can't handle how many time she screams phoebe it's annoying..... almost as annoying as the screaming chick in maxium overdrive. Lol

Shite

This movie isn’t doing well at the box offices?

I really enjoyed it. From the trailers I expected the scene of freezing the beach is much earlier in the movie and most of the time we‘ll see them in a kinda post apocalypse NYC, looking for solutions. So it wasn’t what I expected but still entertaining.

I finally got around to it too. Just couldn't fit it in the past few weeks.

I liked it. I didn't love it, but it was fine.

I keep hearing “they didn’t bust many ghosts” aimed at this film as a negative but none of the others.

In 2016 they only caught 1 ghost which was the dragon thing. He got released by the Peck knockoff played by Bill Murray which then caused him to fall out a window. Then at the end they punch, and blast at ghosts but aren’t actually trapping them. They reversed a portal pulling the ghosts that were crossing over back into it but didn’t actually trap/contain them or Rowan.

In Afterlife Egon is shown having already trapped Vinz Clortho which later gets released. Phoebe and team trap Muncher which later gets freed in jail to break them out. So they busted 1 ghost only to have it freed. At the end many ghosts, Vinz, Zuul, etc. get trapped from the field of traps.

In Ghostbusters 2 they stopped Vigo from fully crossing into this world but he didn’t get trapped. They caught the Scoleri Brothers in the courtroom. Besides that I guess people just want a montage like in GB1 and GB2 where it shows them going on calls and having busted a handful of ghosts.

This movie starts with them busting the Sewer Dragon ghost, has them going on calls like to bust Melody only for her to get away or trying to bust Slimer for him to get away. They attempt busting the Possesser ghost at the library and firehouse. They bust/trap Garraka, and the ending has them going off to bust more ghosts. It was them busting ghosts, plot, attempting to bust ghosts several times, more plot, busting their big bad, then going off to bust more. If they make another one they better include a montage of busting ghosts because it’s getting harder to please everyone with these movies.

Spoiler tag?

This thing was roasting hot garbage. The marketing people knew what it should have been, and completely misrepresented it to look more like that.

It would have been my worst film of the year, had it not been for both Rebel Moons.

Oh for Pete sake stop whining not all movies need to be fast paced action packed for them to be good. I really get sick of constant whining over this being written down if you don’t like it fine but you don’t have to go harping on it on these pages like this a few sentences then end it sheesh.

I personally think it should’ve been about the new generation. Not with Paul Rudd or Phoebe’s mom. Bring in new young Ghostbusters and have them try and win the praise from the mayor and the audience.

Weakest villain ghost yet, the chubby guy from answer the call was a stronger antagonist
