Final Review Score

8.0 / 10

Great

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire brings the Spengler family and veteran Ghostbusters together in New York City as an ancient supernatural force threatens to unleash a deadly freeze. Bill Murray returns as Peter Venkman, contributing his familiar dry humor to a crowded ensemble.

Performances and Direction

Director Gil Kenan stages imaginative ghostly action and makes good use of the franchise’s iconic firehouse setting. The younger cast and returning veterans share the spotlight, though the many characters and plotlines leave limited room for development. Murray’s appearances are enjoyable but comparatively brief, and the film relies heavily on nostalgia alongside its new mythology.

The Final Verdict

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire offers entertaining supernatural spectacle and familiar faces, even if its busy storytelling lacks the freshness of the franchise’s best entries.
