@Reginator - I watched it a few days ago...it's not bad...it's not great ...but no bad and it's worth the watch.I'll say this...they badly want you to invest into the McKenna Grace character in this even more than the last film...and it's just not working feels badly forced and you simply end up not caring.
Some of these reviews pushing her as a standout I'm not buying...she's very forced in this.

@jst5 - To add to this I've been saying in the comments for months don't expect much from this movie...it's just okay with some characters you're just not going to invest in no matter how hard they try.
Beetlejuice is WAY...WAY...WAY better than Frozen Empire.That movie is going to be a huge hit...it holds up to the first.

@jst5 - how have you seen the new Beetlejuice?

@TheFinestSmack - I was at one of the private viewings two weeks ago...I'll be shocked if the movie wasn't a hit and I don't say that much.From what I'm told there are two endings being shown at the viewings and they haven't made their minds up yet on which to go with.
One is the one I got to see....which I'll won't spoil much...but I'll say it for sure leaves open for a Beetlejuice 3 and from what I heard the second one doesn't.
Stay away from spoilers with this which are 100% coming very soon...it's a super fun movie and if you love the vibe and feel of the first one then you'll love this one also...like I said I'll be shocked if this isn't a hit.

Was worried about this once Jason Reitman departed - big bummer. I’ll still check it out but my expectations are low.

Had no idea the release was already so soon, let alone early reactions and reviews.

That's bad news.
Will wait for word of mouth tho.

Maybe the novelty of Ghostbusters has come and gone. Perhaps it would work better as a streaming series. There was a television show that I used to like called Friday the 13th the Series (which had nothing to do with the films) about museum employees who chased after cursed artifacts. I think something along those lines could work with Ghostbusters.

@Forthas - I've had that show on dvd for years now. Bought it because I'm a huge Friday the 13th fan (I knew the show has nothing to do with the movies when I bought it, it was just a completionist thing) but I haven't seen it yet. I hope I'll like it when I finally do.

@Batman91 - What made you buy it?
I am not saying it was an earth shattering show, but it was entertaining and I thought the premise was so unique.

@Forthas - the premise indeed fits a Ghostbusters series. Although series nowadays dont seem to follow the episodic nature of old. But it is good to recall that show 👍

The previous film was a rehash. This looks no different.

The trailers were very lackluster so I'm not surprised however I am surprised how poorly the marketing has been handled imo. I've barely seen any ads promoting it.

It’s 47% now from 88 reviews (I know , not much of a difference but still)…
Sucks to see the mixed-negative reception since I liked Afterlife but I’ll still likely check it out when I can to form my own opinion.
However , I did see a review that gave it a B-which imo is a 3 out of 5 or 7/10 (I know everyone has a different barometer for this stuff) but it was marked as rotten which I found odd since that’s decent to me and made me think what other reviews like that are in the negative column.
Just goes to show to me that RT is still flawed but it’s the best aggregator we got for now.

@SuperCat - Well, as long as your nephews aren't professional critics, then hopefully you can just kick back and enjoy the ride with them. Just think about the good and ignore what doesn't do it for you.
But I'm guessing you already know that, so, enjoy the movie!

"GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN KINGDOM is the worst film I've seen this year, and I've seen MADAME WEB.".... I'm sorry, but I find this very hard to believe. Madame Web is easily the worst movie I have ever seen by a long shot. I honestly don't think a Ghostbusters movie can be worse (and yes that includes the 2016 reboot).

@bcom - after I heard so many complain about it , I checked out the reboot and honestly got some enjoyment out of it
Wouldn’t call it great or even good but it had some fun stuff in it
People can be over dramatic

@TheVisionary25 - The 2016 reboot is a perfectly fine movie on it's own. It had the same type of vibe as The Real Ghostbusters cartoon and I had fun with it.

@bcom - yep
Frozen Empire looked alright from the trailers but they were missing something…
I do like the ice age theme & lore and new villain though.

@TheVisionary25 @bcom - The biggest problem with Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (and please make this movie a hit) is their secretary.
In the original, Annie Potts played a good looking, smart, competent professional with a dry sense of humor.
In the much maligned sequel starring an almost all female cast, Chris Hemsworth played a good looking, dumb as rocks incompetent who was only hired for his looks.
IMHO, this shows the REAL reason for the "all gurl" reboot, and that is their utter contempt for humans challenged with XY chromosomes and testosterone. Girl bosses can always do it better.
Eff' "Answer the Call" with a diamond studded d!ld0.
