With the right combination of nostalgia and novelty, it’s spot-on for families looking for fun on movie night.
Though the ensemble is too large, Frozen Empire does successfully find a decent balance between the multiple generations featured here, letting the younger cast drive most of the action without leaving the older characters on the sidelines

The best ghostbuster movie since the original!! Go watch Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire in theaters️
Report
Too many characters and callbacks plus a formulaic plot means Frozen Empire doesn’t touch the original movies, but it’s a likeable-enough brand extension.
Seeing the Ghostbusters in the Big Apple where they belong put a smile on my face, at least until I realized I was watching a sitcom about wiseass teens and their dopey parents.
It’s not unenjoyable, just deeply unoriginal.
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire doubles down, fully committing to its existence as a cynical nostalgia raid masquerading as a movie.
There is a noxious undead pong emanating from this latest entry in the 1980s franchise, which is now being necromantically sustained through force of sheer commercial desperation, and nothing else.

In “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” the Spengler family returns to where it all began, the iconic New York firehouse, and joins the original Ghostbusters who have developed a top-secret research lab to bring ghost-fighting to a higher level. When the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, the old and new Ghostbusters must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.Change of director for this second film of the new franchise. Gil Kenan (director of the remake of “Poltergeist”) replaces (with less inventiveness) Jason Reitman, but both continue to sign the screenplay just as they did with “Ghostbusters: **** new chapter is an old-fashioned adventure that alternates entertainment, action and humor, enhances the importance of teamwork and family bonds (the Spengler family dynamics are very engaging), and also tells us something about the current world in which we live and on its **** film, winking, quotative and nostalgic (perhaps too much), although funny, enjoyable and all in all acceptable, gives the impression of being less successful than the previous **** itself it appears more colorless and insipid, without particular flashes in the narrative and in the staging, and, apart from a very effective beginning and some intriguing premises, it does not offer incisive sequences and images, getting lost in a rather flat or uninteresting plot (which also sees a low level of intensity even in the humor, thrills, tension and mystery associated with the glacial threat).There are too many characters and too many heterogeneous and separate sub-plots that risk making everything seem predictable, convoluted and approximate; and this time what is really missing, compared to the previous episode, is not only a basic balance, but also the empathy between the old and the new generation of ghostbusters (the new ghostbusters are still lacking in depth, while the old ones seem distant or listless – ghowever the scenes with Dan Aykroyd's Ray Stantz are all spot on; just as heartfelt and touching is the final dedication to Ivan Reitman, director of the original film and Jason's father, who died just over a couple of years ago). The main problem is perhaps precisely in the strength that underlies the new franchise. In fact, if on the one hand the screenplay continues to walk in the wake of the winning formula halfway between remake and reboot, between nostalgia/homage to the past and openness to the future, on the other hand this formula is already starting to suffer from repetitiveness and lack of biting and true inspiration. In conclusion, "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" is overall a modestly made film which, despite having some entertainment and several very pleasant moments, unfortunately only really works in part or at times. Rating (in tenths): 5.50 / 6

Sobrevivendo à base da nostalgia, inclusive pelo elenco (o que garante, ao menos, o interesse até a sessão), se você sobreviver aos primeiros 80 minutos, você consegue, com esforço, chegar até o final. O filme parece que demora a começar, com um prólogo tão tedioso que a única coisa que salva é a tentativa de homenagear os outros filmes. Assim, a obra nunca caminha com as próprias pernas, sendo a resolução tão fria quanto seu cenário. Fraco.
