'Ghostbusters Frozen Empire' Review — Time to Call Someone Else
'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' shows there's still some life in this series, but only when it keeps the past in the past.
Ever since the first Ghostbusters was released in 1984, any attempt to return to this world has relied heavily on nostalgia and diminishing returns, creating a phantasm of what used to be. 1989’s Ghostbusters II couldn’t live up to the original, even with the same team behind it. 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife continuously asked the audience to remember how much they enjoyed the first film instead of caring about the movie they were currently watching. At least 2016’s Ghostbusters tried something new, hitting more on the archetypes than directly recreating the original too much.
