Ghostbusters:Frozen Empire.
The movie itself was solid. They have quite a few characters from Afterlife, and added a few new ones, and also keep the original cast involved. But it was a nice balance. The villain was actually pretty terrifying, and they built up to him well. And the music played at the end and the aforementioned children sitting in the audience were yelling “Ghostbusters!” when the song asks ‘who you gonna call?’ A good sequel to the sequel.
The version I saw was overall a fun movie, but I have nitpicks.
It had way too many characters. Most of them didn't get enough screen time to have any real development. There are two that shouldn't have even been there
(Lucky and Podcast), and another that should've been a very minor part
(the new, science nerd guy). At one point there were
11 people suited up as Ghostbusters. Eleven. Fuck.
And the villain was just a big CG nothing monster, and the build up was lackluster. It was no Gozer, or even Vigo.
Now we have super powers in the GB world?
Another cameo from Sigourney Weaver would've been nice.
A cameo from Rick Moranis would've been amazing.
And where is Dana's son, Oscar?
He's a no-brainer to be included in the franchise.
I think Jason Reitman is the wrong person to be leading this franchise.
This story would've worked better as a 6-8 episode tv series. Flesh it out more, give characters the proper attention, and build the threat.
And fuck off, Patton Oswalt.
