Film Review – Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

2021’s “Ghostbusters: Afterlife” was an effort to get fans back into the franchise while introducing a younger generation to the highlights of the series. Director Jason Reitman (who co-wrote the film with Gil Kenan) had a specific mission with the movie, and he successfully put the brand name up on its feet with an exciting, emotional, and well-cast sequel. Now the Ghostbusters are back in business, with Kenan taking over helming duties (pairing with Reitman for the script), pursuing more of a ghostbusting tone that deals with generations of personal problems. “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” doesn’t quite have the heart or mystery of its predecessor, but it remains tremendous fun as Kenan returns the saga to where it all began, creating a fresh enemy for the expanded squad, juggling their various missions and concerns. Callbacks and the return of a few old faces aren’t denied, fitting into the flow of this exciting feature, which feels like the next logical step for the Ghostbusters as they look to enchant the faithful and engage the newcomers.
