‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ Review: A Bigger, Rowdier and (Slightly) Funnier Fan-Service Grab Bag Than ‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’
The series is back in New York City, full of spirits the movie treats with a mostly straight face.
Yes, thank Gozer, the franchise is back in New York City, where Phoebe and her fam have moved into the refurbished Hook and Ladder 8 firehouse from the original “Ghostbusters.” It’s full of equipment like a Containment Unit, into which a great deal of paranormal entities have been stuffed. “Ghostbusters,” released 40 years ago this summer, was a hash of ectoplasmic silliness, gizmo gadgetry, pulsating light-show apocalypse, and Bill Murray’s nattering meta commentary on it all, which added up to a comedy whose theme, very much of the Reagan ’80s, was: The world may be about to end, but it could hardly matter less. “Frozen Empire” includes token appearances by our blobby old green ghost friends, who have a way of regurgitating into people’s faces, plus occasional comic relief from the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man army, which the series is trying to turn into the new Minions.
