@JamesLeclerc-Myth98 I agree!They should've stopped at 2,even though alot of people did'nt like part 2,but,I did like it!

[@Johnlindsey289]

I wish ghostbusters 3 was made in 93 or 94 or 97 or 99 or 2000 but the game was the true 3

[@nathanforester5993]

The canon timeline for that franchise is really tricky because both of the animated series aren't part of the main canon or aren't considered, Dan considers the game to be canon, but it technically isn't, and the other video game adaptations and the comics are their own separate thing. 2016 doesn't belong anywhere, and the roleplaying game isn't directly canon to the movies.

[@Elfrunner]

True, _Ghostbusters III_ should have been made by no later than 2004. Anytime after that it got long in the tooth. We're really seeing it now, and the horrendous scriptwriting doesn't help, either.

[@Elfrunner]

@@nathanforester5993 The video game was canon, until Sony decided _Afterlife_ was the official continuation to the movies, same as what Disney did to _Star Wars._ I'll stick with _Ghostbusters: The Video Game_ as the third movie. The story was better, and it had the original cast.

[@nathanforester5993]

@@Elfrunner Aykroyd considers it canon but I am not sure about the roleplaying games or the IDW comic adaptations or the other games like 'Spirits Unleashed' and 'Rise of the Ghost Lord'.

[@Elfrunner]

@@nathanforester5993 _Spirits Unleashed_ is set in the _Afterlife_ timeline, so I guess it's a continuation. It's a multiplayer game with little story, so I don't know how much weight it carries in the official canon department. I know the IDW comics are lower-tier canon, same as _The Real Ghostbusters_ and _Extreme Ghostbusters,_ which don't affect the movies.

I personally didn't mind it...then again we didn't ask for Terminator sequels without Arnold in them and we ended up getting one anyway. We didn't ask for another SAW movie but we got it anyway, we didn't ask for another live-action attempt at Resident Evil but we got the netflix series. Dan Aykroyd is in his 70's, Bill Murray is waaaaay older. Dan will keep doing the franchise even if Ray dies (which he nearly does in this), I barely noticed any changes with Ernie Hudson (the dude is ripped). And well I find it hard to believe Paul Rudd is 55 considering the guy looks like he has been in bathing in the fountain of youth and using the water to clean himself on a regular basis. They catch the library ghost in the video game. Also knowing how ghosts are weak against the beams of a proton pack, do you think a ghost would be able to use it? I don't think they would. It would be like a vampire using a crucifix.

[@markpugh6808]

Was waiting for this one I liked the film more than Afterlife but yeah nothing beats the original

[@silverwings21]

You finally saw it. 3:36 Ghostbusters was always one where it was hard to put it in a genre; yeah, there is comedy, but as a kid most jokes flew over my head, so the movie still works without the comedy. Horror is another genre it falls under; I believe they said they filmed it like one. Action, with the proton pack action; even the original script, where it takes place in the future, I believe a producer or someone complained it was like an action movie, with an action scene every other scene. Sci-fi, using tech to catch ghosts. That's one of the reasons why the 2016 movie sucked, they tried to make it solely a comedy and failing; where the characters are doing stupid things solely to make a joke, which isn't even that funny. 5:08 She was a bad mother, hated her too. I know people like that in real life. 5:51 I noticed that too, the whole point of the beam is to lasso them and pull them toward the trap. 13:00 Black don't crack. 15:10 Yeah, I heard they were gay, but if it was, it wasn't as blatant as they usually are in movies these days.

[@Johnlindsey289]

Wokebusters 2016 was agenda driven propaganda disguised as a film and made by a director who wasn’t a fan of the franchise to began with plus a bad modern snl sketch with bad comedy

[@nathanforester5993]

Aykroyd originally wanted it to be a sci fi movie I think and he wanted it to be darker but of course his screenplay had to be shrunk down a couple of times.

[@howfararewenow1683]

So sad that they had to bring in three of the originals to boost profits. Bill Murray clearly was there for the money. I remember him saying that he would not do the film no matter what. I can only imagine how much money they threw at him.

I haven't finished it, but I was against turning the series into a kid series or Stranger Ghostbusters. All I wanted was Ghostbusters 3 with the old guys, yeah, I know when Harold and Ivan died that was impossible. This is basically a slightly less worse version of what Disney did to Star Wars where you have the old cast cameos and pass the torch. They also did it with Jurassic World, and sort of did or didn't with Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny I honestly have stopped caring for legacy properties being revisited. I didn't get hyped up when Tobey returned as Spider-Man, or when deepfake Luke was in the Mandalorian or when in Picard the Enterprise D returned with most of the TNG cast. Am I getting old or just incapable of enjoying anything.

[@JoeDredd2012]

1:25 To me the only successors that are worthy is all 3 characters that David Duchovny, Orlando Jones&Sean William Scott played in that very underrated 2001 sci fl comedy"Evolution" that film feels more like the first 2"Ghostbusters" films then these 2 recent films and don't get me started on that horrible 2016 excuse for a"Ghostbusters" film. 9:39 Murray was at a event celebrating the 30th anniversary of"Groundhoag Day" with most of the cast members and Harold Raimis's widow along with Murray's older brother who's in that film he give a speech that both Harold& his brother was the closest of friends over the years how they kept him out of trouble one he was younger getting in to problems while he was living in Chicago. But in other words he was trying to say Harold and himself wasn't really the close friends it was really his brother Brian&Harold who more close friends which in all honestly I don't buy it Matt. 10:56 Agreed Matt maybe that could've worked back in 2006-2010 when we had Sly bring back Rocky&Rambo or Bruce Willis bring back John McClane or have actors who become a action hero like Liam Neeson with the first"Taken" and what Sly did again with the first and the only best film"The Expendables" but after 2010 it just felt like "ok guys it's time to hang it up already" IMHO. 35:54 That's a good point but the same could be said about Viggo from"Ghostbusters 2" that is still my favorite film of the first 2. I am very happy that this film bombed because these series of films are tiring already it's almost like they are scared to give a sequel to the OG cast on there own without forcing these newer characters on us if Murray wasn't being such a jerk over the years by saying no to Raimis&Aykroyd tearing up scripts we could've got one in the mid 90's but sadly we never did. Solid job on the review bro👍👍

I don't just blame Bill for GB3 not being made. I also blame Dan and Harold for telling Bill to go f*** himself and do the movie without him. Those 2 created Ghostbusters. Bill wasn't even the original choice to be Venkman, nor is the be all to end all in GB. Plus in the 90s, you had a perfect roster of comedians to pass the torch to. The Wayans, Jim Carey, Chris Rock, Martin, etc. Missed opportunity.

[@ramboraph4life]

But I think Dan and Harold knew that if they tried to make it without Bill, a ton of fans in the 90s would have roasted them and not given the third GB a fair chance, because Venkman was the most popular one.

[@Elfrunner]

They didn't tell Bill Murray to F off. They tried for over 20 years to get him to do a third movie. He refused, because of his feud with Harold Ramis and not caring at all about _Ghostbusters._ The scripts that saw him removed completely were Bill's idea. He once said he'd play Venkman only as a ghost. Funny how that one turned out - Egon's ghost. And as it is, he made things difficult working on the video game, and that was just voice work. Bill ended up walking out midway through recording his lines, forcing the devs to recycle some of Peter's dialogue. But now he does these stupid new movies. Go figure.

I agree 100%. I couldn't even really believe how bad this was. The type of film where nobody wants to be there, the cast can barely even be scheduled to be in the same rooms, so they scarf up their paychecks to gag out limp quick performances separately in extended cameos and green-screen mashups. I feel bad for the editors who have to make it look like these characters are a team, and these people actually want to make a movie. The worst big-budget flick I've seen in awhile.

@@victorgaminglounge3967 You can say that again, Victor. Those two took everything Ghostbusters the past 40 years, put it in a blender and hit purée, then served it on a paper plate, not even the dignity of a bowl. And as people slowly ate the mush, they said, "Well, it's better than nothing." The one thing that surprises me about all this, is they didn't borrow anything from _Extreme Ghostbusters,_ which was, in 1997, the most progressive version of the franchise. _Afterripe_ and _Frozen Yogurt_ managed to make _Ghostbusters_ look like an April Fools prank, which, I suspect, is what will happen to this _SNL 1975_ thing you mentioned. It will probably have the "for modern audiences" seasoning on it, with bad acting and garbage dialogue as the base.

[@puppiesarepower3682]

I had no idea this film had already come out. There was not much hype for this film after it was released. This demonstrates why SONY has been overtaken by Samsung. SONY needs to drop all of it dead weight before it goes the way of RCA. The PS5 is not going to be forever, and looking at the so-called succes of the Vita product, the Ericson, and VAIO branches, I'd say there are storm clouds on the horizon for the brand. And now SONY is going to give us the Venom film, which appears to have very weak, 2020s cliché humor.

I despised Afterlife and this was just a boring lifeless nothingburger. Ghostbusters II still gets crap to this day but I enjoy it and its the only sequel (excluding the game) that's worthy of the original. There's way too many characters in this, its not funny and Phoebe is an overrated Mary Sue and she sucks as a character because she's a little brat. Who wanted to see kid Ghostbusters? Not me that's for sure. The OG cast are underused once again. What a lot of folks don't seem to understand is its not the special FX and just the story that made the original work but the comedic chemistry of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis combined with the supporting performances of Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, Rick Moranis etc. its about those characters above all else. Without one of them (Ramis) it just doesn't work plus this writing is crap. I didnt laugh a single time in either this or Afterlife. GB 2016 is a piece of crap but at least that attempted to be a comedy it was just really bad at it plus at least it was in it's own continuity. These new "Ghostbusters" flicks are insults to those original two films. Ghost Corps is correct because this franchise is a bloody Ghost Corpse these days.

[@BreadlineSpecial]

You know, that's an interesting point. Why were kids Ghostbusters in this movie? Was this something they did in the cartoon or something?

[@ghostbusterscollector8593]

As a fan it pains me to say this but I have to be honest - Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is a bad movie. The film is total a mess. It's an overstuffed, poorly paced, confusing, convoluted movie with an unnecessarily complicated plot. There are far too many characters, some of which have been needlessly shoehorned into the story. Most of the characters are bland, with very little personality, charisma, likability, humor or chemistry. It's overstuffed with unnecessary dialogue, dull subplots, pointless characters and scenes which go on for far too long. It's not funny either. I didn't laugh once during the movie, and neither did the audience I was watching it with. It's not frightening either. There are no scares in the film. Laughs and scares are two things you expect from a Ghostbusters film, but this latest entry in the series is completely devoid of any. Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan may be talented directors, but they're the wrong people to be writing Ghostbusters films. Afterlife was mediocre at best, but Frozen Empire is just plain bad. With a heavy heart, I rate this film 3 out of 10. I feel a lot of fans are in denial about just how bad this film is.

The villian sucked he was in it at the very end. They didn't even get an actor to play him.

A great long new review, Matt. of a highly boring & disappointing Ghostbusters film.

[@RussianPirate-ff7yt]

Both 2016 and afterlife/frozen empire suck, people are so happy that 2016 film is wiped from canon that they failed to realise that these new ones did a piss poor job as well. This franchise is not even a comedy anymore, it's some lame Steven Spielberg/ Stranger Things wannabe crap that only leavhes off of the original film's nostalgia. This franchise NEEDS to go away just like the terminator, alien, predator and many others because they have no new ideas anymore.

And do you think 2016 is a bad woke parody?

[@RussianPirate-ff7yt]

Absolutely. That movie is 1000% trash, however, I actually hate these new ones more. The only decent thing about 2016 is that it sucked on its own, while afterlife and frozen empire ruin the continuity of the first 2 movies.

@@Johnlindsey289 , Answer the Call is one of the worst movies ever made, no joke is funny or lands. Like the worst most lame SNL season skit you could imagine on screen. I think Spy is hilarious, but Paul Feig was wrong for Ghostbusters. It didn't do anything for those comedians' careers either, whether people think the backlash was fair or not. I still think they played up the fans are misogynist angle to hide that they knew the film was a turkey. Internal testing had to have told them they were in trouble with this movie, there is no way it tested well. Dan Aykoryd isn't blameless either he had his hands all over that project, it was just as bad as Blues Brothers 2000. Without any of that films redeeming quality as little of them as there are from musical performances, the charm of some of the co-stars , the lack of John Belushi killed that movie.
