In a world where studio executives seem to think that every goddamn film needs to be built into a franchise, audiences have had to endure some truly terrible sequels and prequels. We’ve seen this with tv shows, newer films but more recently popular movies from the 80s. Yes we are here complaining about Ghostbusters. Or rather the newest Ghostbusters movie. Now that is one film that should have been left as a one and done. Even with the original cast the first prequel was terrible. Then we had that placating gender bent version which did nothing but piss me off. And now we have yet another sequel, and I am pretty sure I’m missing one that was made in between those last two. Ghostbusters Frozen Empire was disappointing, unnecessary and an entire waste of time.

The existence of this film makes this year feel so long. I feel like I’ve been seeing trailers and advertising for it since last year and that’s just ridiculous. As predicted it was a waste of time. If we wanted to watch Ghostbusters, we would just do that. Choosing to (try and) profit off an insanely popular IP is annoying at best and disrespectful at worst. The tone shifts in this movie did nothing but demonstrate that studio executives have no idea why the original film was popular. It gets nothing more than a 4/10 and only because it included the original cast.
