Frozen Empire is the lowest rated Ghostbusters movie, so you know it was good. Since a lot of the critics are biased and are mad the 2016 film didn’t get a sequel. As well are still mad about the the hate the 2016 film got before and after it was released.
The 2016 film was still hard to sit through until you got to the good stuff….in the end. It was just friends enjoying goofing off making a movie together. The audience had less fun. Afterlife was just a nice little nostalgia movie with mostly only emotion and decent humor going for it.
Frozen Empire has a bit of a goofy plot and the nostalgia. I just knew throughout that I was having a good time.
I also give the movie credit for having an original villain. Afterlife recycled Zuul from the original. Frozen Empire was originally rumored to have Vigo back from Ghostbusters 2.
While Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) has some nice scenes with a ghost girl named Melody (Emily Alyn Lind). If anyone was going to be friends with a ghost though. I was waiting patiently for Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) to befriend Slimer.
That is what I want to see as a Ghostbusters movie and animated series fan, more Slimer. With maybe a reference that he was friends with the Ghostbusters.
The Ghostbusters is fiction. I had to remind myself that. Since spoiler alert: there’s someone who can control fire called the Fire Master. I had remind myself as something with ghosts and catching ghosts. So sure, a guy who controls fire sort of works in that universe…..I guess.
