Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

"Funny, silly, and a little scary, the franchise finally returns to fun."

"Pleasurable, if lightweight."

"Time to consign (this) franchise to the spirit realm."

"The vibes? Oh, they’re bad."

"There was potential here, but Frozen Empire is an overpopulated mish-mash... We’ve been slimed."

"Carries the same endearingly goofy, science-nerd spirit of the first film."

"Ambitious but messy and ultimately unsatisfying."

"A ghost of its former self."

"Who you gonna call? Somebody else."

"A bigger, rowdier and (slightly) funnier fan-service grab bag than Ghostbusters: Afterlife."

"A shameful sequel."

"Everything about the film is undercooked and lazy."

"Doesn’t touch the original movies, but it’s a likeable-enough brand extension."

"Buckles under the weight of an uninspired, ballooning plot that leaves little room for comedy."

"It is perhaps time for Sony to give up this particular ghost."

"Doubles down on heroes and horror, but lacks magic."

"A cynical nostalgia raid masquerading as a movie."

"Tries to cram way too many characters, storylines and iconic images into its two-hour runtime."

"The film is seemingly afraid to do anything too extreme with the toys at its disposal."

"Back to basics—it’s playing the hits!—with only a sprinkling of new or modern or even fresh energy."

"After an engaging start, Kenan keeps piling in more and more people."
