Movie Review:  Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

 Spoiler-free movie review of "Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire:" As this is America's no. 1 movie at the moment, I imagine a lot of you are curious to know if it is worth seeing... Well, it all depends on what you're looking for, really. Are you in the mood for the same type of fun, zany entertainment you got back in 1984 with the original? If so, you will be greatly disappointed. There are many callbacks and easter eggs that pay fan service, but the tone of this movie is VERY different. This is actually a much darker, more somber movie... more like a modern horror movie, actually. There aren't many funny moments, even with the inclusion of some stellar comedic actors such as Paul Rudd, Patton Oswalt and Kumail Nanjiani. Some portions of the movie are downright creepy, so those of you with young kids with whom you might want to share your love for the original should probably avoid watching this with them altogether. It's not all bad, however, as the story does move along nicely, the young actors are actually really good, and it is diverting enough. I suppose it all really depends on how you manage your expectations. If you go into this movie expecting to enjoy it as much as the original, you should understand right now that you won't. However, if all you want is a diverting movie with ghosts and some friendly old faces you used to love along with a few promising new ones, then this might just be the movie for you. I rate this movie 3.5 out of 5 stars.
