Say what you want about GB 2. At least it brought something new and took chances. It had some memorable moments i.e. the statue of liberty or the train tunnel scares. This new stuff just seems like callbacks and nostalgia moments. I was hoping we got that out of the way with GB Afterlife.
What was new and how did it take chances?
While there were funny things, it did similar things to the first film.
And being both a huge Ghostbusters and masters of the universe fan….. my favorite scene was who you gonna call; “he-man, he-man!” 😎
It had a way better villian who was played by an actual actor who had an actual character and personality.
Vigo was in the film throughout it.
It had scary and new entities that looked better than the ghosts in Frozen Empire.
Just play the ghostbusters video game. Perfect 3rd movie we will never get.
Play the video game, rewatch The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters, watch Afterlife as a nice epilogue to the franchise and then forget everything else. Ghostbusters just needs to take a much needed rest even though its a hard pill to swallow
Drink plenty of water
They should use all of the recorded audio material for the Ghostbusters video game and turn it into an animated film or animated mini-series.
And the funny thing is- we did get it by playing it
Afterlife was A OK actually. This sequel however lost the plot as it often happens with sequels and sadly very unnecessarily so because the franchise has plenty of spectral villains from the animated shows that they could have chosen from instead of creating a lame new one.
And having the Stay Puff gremlins again was a stupid idea. I mean we never saw the Monkey Gremlins from the original Jumanji movie again in the rest of the movies of that franchise and it actually worked.
The appearance of Penguin Oswald never bodes well.
I wanted to like this film a lot, but the plot is just so disjointed and convulted that it honestly hurt to watch at times. While the OG characters are still tnankfully respected, the new Ghostbusters just lack the chemistry and wit to carry this movie or hell even a trilogy for that matter.
It's a fkkin GB movie. Stop acting like you went in expecting Gone w the Wind
@@crackerjaxcosplay I'm criticizing the movie because I wanted it to be good lol. If you're fired up why not actually see the movie and speak yourself why don't you?
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9rYea, I did. And you and the 8 likes need to re-read what I wrote.
@@crackerjaxcosplay Okay, little late to the party my man lol
I'm still interested in the film and am more than willing to support it. Plus, it comes out on my 27th birthday tomorrow, Jeff.
That's despite me being on a *_Harry Potter_* high as of late.
Happy birthday, enjoy ur day
Wow man, you got an entirely different experience out of this than I did.
I greatly enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed the lore the most. Kumal Nanjiani and Dan Akroyd were great. I enjoyed the effects.
I understood where Mckenna Grace's character not getting a chance to prove herself and learning from it due to how things turn out.
I was just looking for a good time, but nothing spectacular.
I think this movie might be most loved by Ghostbuster fans more than the general audience.
So am I
Of course critics hate something made for the fans
Lol. Ok.
Not perfect but it was nice to see a true Ghostbusters movie again. Excited to see it again!
Since you seem incapable of realizing it, it's simple. It's like the good seasons of real Ghostbusters. Now every episode was not great but every episode was Ghostbusters and that is pretty great. So the movies might not be like the original but they are still pretty great. Aside from 2016, that made the q5 years competent in comparison
These movies are nothing but nostalgia bait, memberberries and bad writing.
Will agree it was a fine movie. A tad to hallow at points and heavy handed with memory berries. I did like the new gadgets and would have been great to see them tinkering to build them. Needed more tension for the big bad and their fight. Almost wished there had been a rival ghostbuster team showing them up with sleeker packs and cars but who was more about the money than the mission who bomb big and result in the big bad arrival. Then once more it is the classic team and gear with some updates who come blazing in to save the day once more and end.
Who knows maybe the next film will be something like that.
a wrist mounted proton pack? i know tech has evolved a lot in the last 30 years, but still getting all that tech into a back mounted pack was impressive enough.
My expectations are always low because hey that’s how garbage Hollywood has become. I’ll be skipping this at the theater.
I was looking forward to this movie. Now not so sure
Don’t let anyone else’s opinions sway your interest in seeing it. Watch it for yourself and form your own thoughts. Personally, I thought it was amazing. -Fennett
I totally agree! It's way better than what the critics are saying.@@FSCFilms
I can't stand Patton Oswalt.
I don't really have a point. I just wanted to write it down.
Great review and I appreciate the honesty! I remember when the movie was announced not feeling excited, but more like: "Really..? Is this even necessary?" Afterlife to me was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and redeemed the franchise after the atrocious 2016 movie. Frozen Empire is just another cash grab. I'm hoping Godzilla & Kong will deliver on epic kaiju fights!
Just saw it. And yeah. I agree a lot. It did not suck totally...but hell, it was a let down.
Frozen Empire was a creative fun Ghostbusters movie and that's what it's supposed to be. It showed us more of the Spangler family and their dynamics as well as much more of the fire house and how the GB company has grown. It was a great first step into the next generation of Ghostbusters. It sets up an exciting lead into another movie or steaming series. Over all 8/10
Awesome review. I'm a long time Ghosbusters fan, and was really anticipating the release of this film to watch it theaters... But now, I'll just wait for it to be streamed. :)
As a Ghostbusters fan I loved it
There was a GB3 script were Venkman became the Mayor of New York. I thought that was a great idea since we see him as a talk show host in the second film. Makes since he would use his popularity and smooth talking to become a Public figure next. Makes more since then Walter Peck.
Plus that could create a interesting relationship between him and the rest of the team as I’m sure there would be tension.
Another thing I’m curious about in the Ghostbusters universe is how things changed after a certain event in 2001. You think there would be some major paranormal activity after an event like that.
We see references/ jokes about past tragic events in New York like train derailments, murders on the 13th floor, and even the Titanic in the first two films. It feels kind of odd not to reference it. I know why they wouldn’t but it makes me wonder.
I feel like the nostalgia and member berries were the high points. The low points were Garakka barely posing a threat and the poorly fleshed out Pheobe & Melody relationship. The movie shined brightest when it focused on Winston and Ray mentoring the new generation. I loved what this movie was trying g to do , I feel like it needed like maybe 10 more minutes in the 3rd act.
Afterlife to me just wasn't a good movie. It felt like "Rise of Skywalker" with Gozer's return. Gozer never needed to return. With Frozen Empire sounds like the same.
I liked Afterlife, even with the brining back of the same "big bad". That being said, Frozen Empire to me was just meh. Dan Murrell's review sums up how I feel about it pretty perfectly.
I liked after life Quite a bit.... The first time. Of course that's following a 2016 movie. Watching that again a couple times and i'm like, kids? Really?.
Hi Jeff long time listener just wanted to say it’s good to see your face in videos but I recommend putting the camera slightly above or at eye level instead of chin level and I would move the lighting higher and to the left of the camera. This will make your shot look more cinematic and it will make it seem like you’re not looking down your nose at us. Good luck and keep up the good commentary
FemBuster 2016 was so horrible it caused my nephew who was 11 at the time to completely abandon the franchise. He adores the original two, but now he’s viewed everything that comes out after 2016 as just more of that garbage. It’s tragic.
I'm not expecting alot just a bunch of nostalgia. If that's all there is and is on par with or better than #2, then I'm cool with this
Don't listen to the critics. Go see it for yourself. It's way better than what they're saying.
@@dominiqueblock7143 just got back from watching this film and I thought it was very entertaining, no regrets spending money on this film
I don’t think Ghostbusters is incapable of being a franchise, you just have to do unique things in each sequel (like maybe an adaptation of Extreme Ghostbusters?), and not rely on ‘Memberberries.
(Also, a WCBS video without a Stealing Solo plug? I must be dreaming!)
I'll probably watch it.
I loved it this was awesome.
I don’t care what anyone says, I am seeing this movie regardless. It looks fun
I was a Ghostbuster for Halloween.The for real get up, hand made, at meadows mall in Las Vegas there was an adult Ghostbuster, and it caused such as commotion we were on the news. The Ghostbusters helicopter toy was the best. Out dork that.
thanks for your review at-least I have a good Idea of what to expect
Trevor chasing Slimer around the firehouse is all we get as far as the Slimer scenes go? 🤨
There's more, but the critics are being asses towards the movie. I recommend you see it for yourself, especially if you're a true Ghost head.
Good Ghostbusters Frozen Empire spoiler free Review.
I don't want to sit out so many movies for fear that i won't be really pleased, but at the same time tickets are Hella expensive
I can’t with Kumail Nanjiani. I just can’t.
I thought the same going in but he was one of the best parts actually. He has some funny moments.
One thing missing.... Pots having dual pistols like in 2016.....lol!! I think after life was so good and a big hit just because it followed the 16 movie.. When I rewatch it i'm like kids?, really? And you made a good point about the red suits... What the heck. I don't like them anyway in the previews.
Nah, I just saw it. It was super fun. You’re wrong.
I liked it. I feel it was a bit crowded with too many characters. But I enjoyed it quite a bit
At no point was there a man in a gorrilla costume
Seeing the new mayor of New York City was a nice comment on New York's worsening leadership.
What I think is funny is how the ridiculously teased LMNOPQ romance angle gets turned on its head. The message: Don't trust quirky cute hipster girls because they will turn on you.
Literally I was the only one laughing in the movie theater
Without knowing but when I heard ghostbusters is about watching two hours firefighters and Patton Oswalt is there two I now really hope he represents Fire Marshall Boone again like in Brooklyn 99 😄
I like this new face reveal format of your reviews
After wasnt all that good. It was ok but relied on nostalgia. Havnt seen the new one but 20 bucks they try it again.
Judging by the trailer I can already tell the movie is humorless, the kids are ok but they don't come from a comedic background and Paul Rudd has starred in many comedies but he doesn't come from stand-up he just recites dialogue and make it funnier. So yeah.
I had reservations as soon as I heard that Jason Reitman decided to get someone else to direct this 'sequel'...
I knew this film would be bad the moment I heard that Gil Kenan and Jason Reitman were writing it. They did a really poor job with Ghostbusters Afterlife. The studio needs to put far more care and attention into it's choice of writers when making films based on these beloved properties.
I haven’t seen it yet and Im planning to see it I have no expectations about that movie at least it will be better than the chick busters of 2016
The original Ghostbusters movie was lightning in a bottle. Everything after is just a ghost of that first one. Didn't care for the second movie either. Though, the PC game that came out in 2009 was good and better than the second ghostbusters movie.
Totally agree! If the the first Ghostbusters was a standalone, one and done, it would be one of the greatest ever. The 2009 game is really good, I still play though it once in a while.
GB2 was a great movie even if it wasn't as good as the first. At least it tried to do something original and new with its concept of Vigo and the river of slime. It actually had stakes that you can get behind which I appreciated
My only nostalgia for the second one is the anticipation and the hype of it coming out in the summer of 1989. It was the last stop before "Batman." It was assisted by the Hardee's Slimer Sundae and the ghost zapper toys.
Ghostbusters for me is one of the few properties that’s about the stars not the characters. Murray, Ackroyd and Hudson are the ghostbusters. Others can’t really fill their shoes
Freezing the proton streams was the coolest part.... maybe the only real cool part.
It was good I saw it last night it has the laughs but if your daft it goes right over your heads
Bill murray did amazing
Well you can’t trust IGN anyway. If they didn’t like it chances are the movie would be decent.
They should not have made this series revolve around a bunch of teenagers
I’ll be worth it. Busting
Heard it took some ideas from the real ghostbusters. He didn’t mention that. I can’t wait to see it. This dude didn’t even breathe while he was $h!ting in this movie. People get a little too carried away. We gonna have venkman and Winston running around like before? Ghostbusters 2 was not as good as the first but great.
If you’re a GB fan you’ll love this movie. I don’t care if you have a t shirt and buncha fucking toys, you’re clearly not a fan.
Broken logic. Being a fan doesn't mean being tone deaf, or brain dead. The movie was trash, and his criticisms were valid.
There.........are..........four Ghostbusters films.
I give it a 7 out of 10
Shame. But I agree the first one should have been a one and done. The second one was a obvious paycheck with weird writing decisions. It's ok but if watched as a stand alone movie it would have been forgettable. And though I enjoyed the cartoon I always considered it to be it's own thing. I haven't been able to work up any enthusiasm for any of the new movies so I haven't even bothered to see them yet. Maybe when I will watch them when they finally pop up on Tubi or something.
Afterlife wasn't good either, just a step in the right direction... i think Hollywood interfere and ruin good scripts
Everyone praising "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" seems to act like they started watching the movie at the end and only that.
You look like Max Bemis minus the eyebrows
It didn't look great in the trailers to me. The ice shards and freezing scenes looked super fake.....
I can remember a critic article of a con that I went to. The title of the article was "Ernie Hudson eats his life" while ernie was eating a sandwich. So I am glad this movie came out it was ok not fanrastic but ok. But it was better written then Madame web and Madame web was much more watchable then rhe feminist Ghost buster reboot
I walked out halfway through it
God damn it…
It would seem that this film is meh at best.
So more like a ghostbusters you rent on tv around Halloween for five bucks instead of going to the movies and paying $15 not including food or drink just to go see something not terrible but mediocre
I guess I'll see this on physical media then, thou I expect they likely took out a bunch of stuff to be rid of the stuff that plaguing much of Hollywood of late, but then again seeing the most resent Transformers movie, felt like they were playing it safe as a lot of writers have been infected with the woke mind virus and thus Hollywood has forgotten what good writing is!!
I think you went in with WAY exaggerated expectations. The main bad guy did as much, if not more, than the original Gozer. The OG guys are retired in this.
Granted, some things weren't necessary. The librarian was actually kind of annoying. The movie, overall, is a fun ride. Expecting epic oscar-worthy material is unreasonable. Expect a fun, "Real Ghostbusters" kind of experience and you'll enjoy it more.
this sounds a lot like ghostbusters 2 a lot which sucks. i hope its kinda the end of the franchise and they slow it down so it stays not well but alive.
GB2 is 100x better than this film and its literally no competition. I'm tired of seeing the second film being put in a rough light when its perfectly in tune with the first film in terms of quality
Why does everyone hate ghostbusters 2? I really liked it! Heck, I didn’t even grow up with it so I don’t have a nostalgia biased.
@@Eva01-jy2qu7pu9rI would say the original Ghostbusters is in a league of it's own. It was so fresh at the time. A trailblazing sort of movie. GB2 is the best of the sequels, which isn't saying a lot. Even after all these years, I just can't shake the feeling that much of GB2 was derivative and phoned in.
@@PowderedVoltage It wasn't really phoned in when you think about it. It just went for a tone that was closer to the cartoons and actually led to the concept of the slime blower and gave us classic scenes like the GB painting amongst other things. GB2 tried, Frozen Empire felt like a studio film
Did he say "WokeBusters the flame thrower"?
Channels like this are getting to be as bad as the regular critic sites
I could do without some of the new characters. I'm only going to see the OG characters.
''Spoiler Free'' then goes and explain how the movie ends lollll
Wokebusters the flamethrower! 😅
Lot of people who have given this a bad review still have a hard on for the crap 2016 film
Its because they've turned it into a kids franchise now. The original ghostbusters wasn't a kids movie as the scene of Ray being blown by a ghost is proof of. Why bring back the OG cast if you only include them in a handful of scenes. It's just another crappy franchise now.
Ughh. Sad to say... too many storylines/ characters. Too slap, sticky. I was quite excited.. Big ghostbuster fan. That died away after watching it twice even..
I think all 4 of you guys should turn woke busters in to a cartoon that will be awesome
More nostalgia bait to take our $$
So the jokes went over your head?
I thought Ghostbusters Afterlife was absolutely terrible - what do you mean riding a high... this one sounds fairly terrible too. How disappointing. I have to sit through another angst-filled girl-powered feelings fest?
Glad I wasn't excited for this.
Ghostbusters Afterlife Sucked and so im not surprised Frozen Empire is more of the same Garbage. There hasn't been a good Ghostbusters film since Ghostbusters 2 imo
Sad.
What a disappointment, I'm just going to stream this.
This movie sucked
I wouldn’t be surprised if the screenplay was generated by A.I. 🤖
Hard Pass..........
Well, guess this movie is a pass. Sad too 😢
Based on one person's view and opinion? Lol. There are others reviewing the movie saying it's pretty good. It's a mixed bag for sure upon the crowd.
So tired of boring yawn GB movies only 1984 is worthwhile
How was that spoiler free lol you spoiled a lot lol horrible
Its a bad movie
Well thats a shame.
The new Dunes were woke and most of you gave them a pass. We're going to have to deal with it.
Lol yep they wasted money on those damn jackets lol.
There was no purpose for this movie to begin with. There wasn't much of a reason for the last one to exist either, but at least there was the meta need of something to redeem the franchise after 2016.
This one didn't even have the meta reason. And seeing as how the last one barely made a profit if it did at all, I don't know why anyone was thinking this was a good idea. And it sounds like it was as interesting as it's background would indicate...
