Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ puts the franchise on ice once and for all. With too many characters, too little story for them to participate in, and too much reliance on the past, ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ leaves us cold.

With all the throat-clearing and reintroductions of ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ behind us, it might be natural to think that ‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ could forge ahead into a new story and era with the next generation of paranormal investigators. But no, ‘Frozen Empire’ rounds up a large ensemble of both old and new cast members and gives almost all of them nothing to do, except stand around and spout either tired jokes or even more tiring exposition.
