"Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" Fails to Revive the Franchise
TL;DR
"Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" features original cast members in a busy, scattered sequel that lacks emotional depth and focuses too much on new characters, resulting in a lifeless affair. The film struggles to establish its supernatural threat and leans heavily on teen issues, with Bill Murray's screen time proving disappointingly brief. Despite callbacks to the original, the movie feels mechanical and fails to deliver consistent nostalgia, ultimately coming across as a lightly warmed-over version of the concept.
