Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Review 

I agree a lot of cult classic type films basically captured lightning in a bottle and adding to the story in a remake or sequel can range from pointless to mildly interesting at best one example I often use is hocus pocus 2 it was such a nothing burger of a film

Frozen Empire is plagued with DEI political agendas to fulfilled so its going to be nearly impossible for it have a good script (what makes a hit a hit)

@@RatingsIntoCash "DEI" only bothers the "special" type of people who are concerned about that type of thing....Normal intelligent people don't feel the need to watch things based on how many weemonz and POC are in it. I hate to break it to those "special" people but the world is literally full of different people of different colors, different background and 1,000 other different things.....Its not just full of white men and subservient white women

Hollywood is just tapping into these classic IPs bc you can just CGI the hell out of it and sell tickets based on the brand

​@@RatingsIntoCashand you left out the necrophiliac/lesbian relationship.. And the woke DEI just needs to disappear from movies.

Shit, I remember this but forgot who he said it to…

@@treasures_untold_vlogs Peter said to Ray after ppl needed a match to light lol

​@edwardosantiago3296 "I quit smoking in the 90's!"

That's not the point. They are OUR movies. The movies back THEN were OURS as well. You don't have to Disneyfy it.

​@kingstewy that's such a silly entitled view imo. You enjoyed those movies back then and didn't enjoy these, which is fair. They dont BELONG to anyone tho and as much as I prefer the OG movies, there's stuff to enjoy In these and anybody growing up now who loves them are no less valid than someone who doesn't.

lmao kinda!

Nothing like Halloween ends

​@@WeWatchedAMovienahhhh

Very good correlation

​@@WeWatchedAMovieGhostbusters was great! Are y'all getting paid to hate on this movie?

Same here and then I see people telling me it was great. lol

They ghosted us but who you gonna call 📞 👻

@ZerocoolsPropsandCollectibles it’s was ok the last was better but it did have a lot to like but some negitives

@@jimbowlan5804if the last one is better this must be fucking shite.

It was great!

I wouldn’t mind reboots if the writing was good. But that seems to be a big ask these days.

NO. NO you didn't and the people who constantly fart that out have no clue WTF they're even talking about...Remakes and sequels have been a thing for decades not just now.....I bet your one of those people who thinks Looney Tunes garbage Scarface is amazing and has no clue that its a remake of a remake of a movie made in 1929...Or A Star is Born was a remake of a remake of a Judy Garland movie.... It will never stop being hilarious when people try to talk about sequels reboots as if they're something new and exclusive to now. Protip; because the big tentpole movies are alot of sequels and reboots doesn't change that hundreds of movies are made a year the number of reboots is minimal in the total. The problem/cancer are the people who think that movies must have 25 sequels and, can't handle that a movie can have a story and end the story with the movie. Its OK for a story to just end and not need 15 timelines, 25 sequels, etc.

A) Who cares if Garraka was more powerful. They are fictional characters and this one was a CG blob that could have come out of any bad superhero movie. B) Yeah when the plot focuses on a 15 year old and her ghost friend for the majority of the running time....it's a kids movie. And finally if Paul Rudd playing Paul Rudd is the most interesting part of a movie? You probably aren't watching a great movie. Also, if your idea of Ghostbusters is a little kid running around whining and being dumb enough to end her life to be w a ghost for 30 seconds, then we aren't looking for the same things. That is NOT the spirit of Egon nor a good replacement for an adult who's a fascinating, hilarious and smart character.

@@WeWatchedAMovie Egon tried to drill a hole in his head and attempted to assault Peck in front of police. He was an incredibly intelligent character, but also had issues. Phoebe is also incredibly intelligent like Egon with that eccentric streak. Also she didn’t end her own life, she even stated in the film that it wasn’t lethal. I certainly don’t have a problem with her character or Paul Rudd, however McKenna Grace changes her persona for different roles, whereas Paul Rudd seems mostly the same in his films. As for Garraka, he created much higher stakes for the Ghostbusters compared Gozer or Vigo with more screen time than them. People seem to complain about Garraka being defeated too easily, yet he had more screen time and was more difficult to defeat than the other two.

The drill thing was a joke and wasn't bc he was mad at his parents for refusing to sacrifice their entire company and go to jail because she wanted to be a Ghostbuster 3 years sooner. And again, I don't care how powerful or how much screen time Garraka had. The character was a carbon copy of a thousand other CGI bad guys. It was neither fun nor interesting.

@@WeWatchedAMovie We don’t know what Egon was like at 15. I’m betting similar. So you’re saying Garraka was garbage just because he was CGI? He was just as fleshed out as Gozer or Vigo.

Nah. They turned phoebe into a regular moody teen. She lost her deadpan gravitas that made her great in afterlife. You sound like a whiny fool. These guys are spot on

cause that was in the late 80s and 90s kids shows were allowed to be dark and scary in that time period. These new movies are just for kids and pre teens

@@rockmusicforever90 To be fair, the stuff from the 80's was meant to be just for kids and pre-teens as well. Not only Ghostbusters, but movies/tv shows across the board. I mean hell, look at the original Beetlejuice for example. That movie was rated PG. "Nice fucking model! *HONK HONK*" The new one will more than likely be PG-13 and it still won't have anything of that nature in it. The sensibilities of modern society has regressed back to the milk toast safeness of the 1950's and 60's. It's just a product of the times, man.

I think you just hit the nail on the head. We need a “dark” GB film. The main ghost made it look like they were going in that direction.

@claudetheruler - if this is what you took from it, you are really blind. The forced lesbian love story was front and center.

​​@claudetheruler Even Stevie Wonder could see this was an implied lesbian subplot. I actually feel like it's quite obvious they were going there and rewrote/reshot some of it to try to avoid being so on the nose with it.

Grace Mckenna's hots for that ghost are hotter than Gozer's menstrual hot flashes 😫😫😫😫😫😫

Grace Mckenna had hots hotter than Gozer's menstrual cycle for that ghost 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

Yeah I for sure didn't think any streams were going to get crossed but for sure thought some hardcore spectoral ✂️ vageena action was going to go down like Phoebe on Melody!

My sentiments exactly

@@AetheriusComicsYupp that was finally nailed into their heads with Lightyear. Parents caught wind of the non-hetero shit and didn’t go. I live in a small town now, ppl in this town are the last to know what’s going on in media. There were customers @ my work talking about Lightyear/saying not to take their kids.

Right?!?!? Winston wouldn't have done that

It's really not as bad as they're making it seem. There are some valid criticisms. But honestly I've been a fan for 29 years and I liked it. Not a perfect film. But 7.5/8 in my opinion.

Same i liked it not the best but a pretty good movie same with afterlife it was good too

The movie you loved still exists as it always has. Go rewatch it.

It wasn't bad.

Oh come on, it still felt like the Ghostbusters. Personally, I was still able to enjoy it

Expect any other ghostbuster sequel to promote the DEI agenda more than anything else and that also excludes having a noteworthy storyline

@@RatingsIntoCash Oh for sure! There is a magic and soul that 80s, 90s and early 2000s Hollywood movies had (and before that as well), that they've completely abandoned now. When I watch movie reaction channels now, and I see people reacting to these classic movies that were part of my childhood, I'm just reminded of what we had in the entertainment industry before. Literal art was being produced for the masses to consume. The movie creation process was full of creativity and heart. Models were constructed, the story was well established and masterfully executed in the filmmaking process. Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is just another example of what we have to consume now in general, and any sequel is going to fall victim to the same fate.

@@RatingsIntoCash You should just stop watching TV and movies anyway since your clearly one of those "special" people who has to watch and count how many POC and weemonz are in things....The biggest cancer to movies are the people who need to count those things and worry about a diversity

@@gamedojotv I very much agree, these are sad times and for the entertainment industry as well. It's like, they know it's bad now so they must artificially pump up the artists whether it's pop stars or movies to look as big and grand and important as possible because the artistic content of value is not actually there, so they must trick the audiences into thinking this stuff is somehow great when it's really not. Seduce the masses with fluff, like a trip to an amusement park. I'm reminded of the last Indy or Star Wars flops here. This particular franchise, is one of those where all one needs is basically the brilliant original no need for the rest. Sometimes they just can't surpass brilliance, so why even try.

YESSSS

So you don't see a problem with children running around with flamethrowers, explosives and machine guns, Proton packs are more dangerous than those. They were also established in lore to be hard for 4 grown men to carry, yet non of the 90 pound children have any problems with it. Might as well have 10 year olds taking Rambo, RoboCop or Dutch's mantel lol.

Yeah, The Extreme Ghostbusters was awesome!

As a 29 years fan, I gotta say it's not as bad as they are making it seem. It might not be for them and that's totally respectable. But I'm a huge fan and I can tell you its a solid 8. I think Afterlife was better and some of the criticisms they are making in this review are valid. But it also seems a bit exaggerated. Just watched the film yesterday and I don't understand how any OG fan could dislike it, unless they're letting bias affect their review. Anyways just my thoughts on that.

@@granddaddyotaku636 it's more focused on promoting DEI agenda rather than actually having a good storyline.

@@RatingsIntoCashYup DEI is what drug the story off the rails.

It's not trash.

It sure looks like it though.

Yeah our point exactly.

@@WeWatchedAMovie 🙄

Kids love dick jokes

Kinda a biased review if you ask me. They make some good criticisms. But it does sound like they had unrealistic expectations going into the film and are butthurt because it didn't turn out like they wanted. Is it a perfect film? No. Is it as bad as they claim? Hell no...

​@@melody-linkle The movie is based on a teenage girl's infatuation with a female ghost. Her whole wreckless infatuation with said ghost causes an unnecessary mess of allowing the freeze demon to get unleashed. Everything in the movie was all Phoebe's fault she's absolutely wreckless. Her lesbian wrecklessness causes an unnecessary mess. The movie has a few good ideas and concepts, other than that it's a flop.

@@RatingsIntoCash if that's all you got from the film then you were too focused on what you didn't like. Don't get me wrong, I see what you mean. It did feel a little bit, dare I say "gay" at times lol. But I think there was more to it than Phoebe has a crush on a ghost. She was dealing with the feeling of not being able to be herself because everyone was telling her she was too young to be a Ghostbuster, despite the fact that she was probably one of the most qualified in terms of the new group. She gravitated toward trusting a ghost girl aka Melody because she was the only one validating her feelings. In the end the ghost betrays her anyways. and Phoebe realizes that she should have more faith in the ppl that care about her because they just want what's best for her. Phoebe was so focused on trying to prove herself a Ghostbuster, that she put her trust in a stranger instead of the family who actually cared. Like I said, these two make some good points. But it's also a bit exaggerated. Just my opinion.

@@melody-linkle Phoebe the most qualified Ghostbuster?? Hell nah. She's proven to be nothing but absolutely wreckless in everything that she does every since the previous sequel. The whole ice demon getting unleashed could've been easily avoided and it getting unleashed was all due to her self selfish, self centered wrecklessness and her wrecklessness literally isn't even funny. I look at the movie as an unfair, huge FU to males, especially Asian males as Podcast clearly friendzoned by Phoebe every since the previous movie all in disfavor to a dead girl who isn't even living. Podcast's only purpose in the movie is solely to exist as cannon fodder for rejection and humiliation. Pathetic... The whole woke agenda of the movie is anti-male, anti-orthodox and painfully it overshadows any good aspects that there are about it.

@@melody-linkle biased? Sounds like ur butthurt they didn't enjoy it like you. It's okay to have a difference of opinion. Not everyone has to have a 🐏 mindset.

Phoebe is the heir apparent of course everything will center around her and her LGBT agendas.

I think it's totally fair to try and save a regular person money if they ask you your opinion on a movie. I am definitely more concerned about a normal person losing 10 bucks than I am a tentpole blockbuster from a Company with billions.

@@WeWatchedAMovie isn't that part of the reason why most of these movies fail, and fail at getting sequels? Because so many social media platforms are saying, "hey, this movie sucks, don't go watch it"

I want this movie to do well so badly! 🤞🤞

@@WeWatchedAMovie 😡😡😡

@@theendisthebeginningistheend Why?

I enjoyed it for what it was.

Yup she brings no comedy element. Centering the film around her sucks all the fun away. Lucky has also go to be the most pointless ghostbuster character. It's like she's in there by committee

Female Ghostbusters=🐕 💩

Oh boohoo

@@theendisthebeginningistheend why did you leave a response like that?

@@ENDOPLAGUE Because I dislike your comment. That's why. 😊

Dude. The movie being better than 2016 cannot possibly all you wanted out of this movie. And we're all critics. Our opinion is the same as yours.

This would make more sense if we weren't the only ones saying it amigo. And the box office and cinemascores reflect that as well.

@@WeWatchedAMovie All you people are the reason why we can't have nice things! 😭

@@WeWatchedAMovie The Cinemas and Box Office reflect what you are saying because of people like yourselves basically telling the world that the Movie Sucks and you should not go to see it, people should make their own mind up about the movie and give it a chance its not as bad as you are making out respectively speaking

​@@glenmartin7978ATE🗣️🗣️

@@TommyDay-kq1jj I Dont know what that means sorry

Stop wanting Ghostbusters to be like Ghostbusters doesn't really make much sense to me.

@@WeWatchedAMovie 🤦

Everyone wants to be stranger things now

Haters

@@theendisthebeginningistheend wow such a strong and compelling case. lol

@@geminijim6655 I'm just calling it how I see it!

Since 2016 LMFAO I love it when people pretend something just now happened.....Sorry not sorry, the 80s cartoon had the Junior Ghostbusters before it was transformed into Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters....It had already been turned into something for children in the late 80s

@@lutherheggs451 Those were cartoons, not the movies. The 1984 movie was an adult themed film. The 1989 movie did lean into the cartoon more, and was "less adult", but it wasn't an overly Scooby-Doo kiddie movie.

McKenna Graces Character Phoebe is Autistic just like how Egon was on the Autistic Scale I can heavily relate to this

Oh yeah lol loves that movie growing up

Frozen Empire was great!

That was Dan Aykroyd's script for Ghostbusters 3

@@glenmartin7978 I think I read about that.

Finally, someone else who gets the reference! I agree with you about Phoebe and Melody; Phoebe is characterized by how difficult it is to connect with others; even a platonic friendship would be a profound milestone for her.

@@Antidragon-nl7by Exactly she has Autism or is somewhere on the scale. I have personal experience with this as I also have problems connecting with others

I'd like to see a new movie based on either revenge of Murray the mantis or ragnarok and roll.

Probably not lol

But there is adult humor lol

Who cares how many lines they had? They were memorable and special and not some cgi forgettable suicide squad bad guy

@@WeWatchedAMovie that wasn’t the argument though. The argument was they had more “personality” their story’s were also told through exposition in the original movies, and with so little lines of dialogue how do they have more personality?

I think mike was saying Vigo an Gozer were shown a lot more througout the movies and had a menacing presence throughout. Personality comes with little things they do like possessing people, using them, promissing them things, smilng at Dana, going from calm and calculated to angry and vengeful. This Garakka is just one note 'Angry' the entire movie and barely shown.Which leads to a boring villian. Its like thanos compared to the Thor 2 villain, Personality- No personality. I got ya Mike haha

So you're the one lol

@WeWatchedAMovie I have some friends that loved it too. Lol met the kids at horrorhound, little angels

This is so true
