More than a mess, one of the movie industries first attempts at political defamation of their fanbase with intentional facets in it to directly insult the fanbase and accuse us of racism and sexism. And as you will be aware since around 2016 this attitude has bled into MANY popular franchises. Closely followed by star wars 7 in 2017.

Mckennas acting and her take on her character is brilliant, it's one of the shining attributes of both recent movies. Without her excitement of being part of the franchise it would just not be the same, it is felt through her character. Even if you were not a fan of the recent movies, you have to admit she was brilliant in her role.

I enjoyed it, without a doubt

I had a smile as big as my state on my face every second of Frozen Empire. If you want to enjoy something, then you'll find something you enjoy. But this movie is definitely for the fans and hopefully will bring in some new fans

she's awesome, don't let people ruin your positivity.

I totally agree with McKenna, and I am going to watch Frozen Empire within the next couple of days, and just enjoy it for being the Ghostbusters movie that it is. If there is nods back to the original, so be it, but that is not what I am looking out for. I love the character of Phoebe, the true star of Afterlife. I'm really looking forward to how the characters have changed over the last couple of years.

I loved every second of this movie. I hope Sony doesn’t listen to the critics. I want them to make a few more sequels before any more of the originals pass away.

So far it's bombed because most people are tired of watching regurgitated, woke, "member berry" crap from 40 years ago. Probably won't happen anytime soon. The films made $60 million at this point with a budget of $100 million. It would need to make around $200 million just to break even after marketing and theater ticket sales...

I saw it yesterday. Loved it! The critics just wanna suck all the fun outta movie going.

It is actually a very good movie. I watched it and wondered what the hell the critics didn't like about it. It has all the warmth and humor of Afterlife. But: You can see that there are some extensive cuts, probably due to the limited budget.

My friend who loves ghostbusters said he was let down by this one mainly cause of all the cuts and jumpiness and might take a couple watches to actually like it. I dont think budget had anything to do with the cuts and stuff. Everything was filmed and just needed to be editted so it was probably just the editting team made odd choices with how they pieced it together. Even if budget played a role id think editors and the director should have found a way to make things work more smoothely or delete things that probably werent needed.

@@Sidicas That wasn't a joke but more Ray finally learning from previous mistakes.

Loved every bit of it. Prior to it coming out I bought the TimeLife Firehouse Boxset Complete Series of The Real Ghostbusters and marathoned it in anticipation of this movie. The movie delivered. It was like a Live Action movie of The Real Ghostbusters which is what I’ve wanted for 30 years now. Being able to go to a movie in Ghostbuster suit with my fiancée and getting to eat popcorn from a light up Ghost Trap and drinks like “Slimer Sour Apple” and “Boo Berry Raspberry” from Mini Puft drink containers felt like being a kid again. The movie also felt like The Real Ghostbusters episodes Cold Cash and Hot Water (ice demon who wants to release ghosts from the containment unit for a ghost army) and the episode Killerwatt (as Ecto 1 gets possessed like in that episode.) There was a few moments like something from Extreme Ghostbusters or the Ghostbusters Comics. This movie is definitely a love letter to fans full of Easter eggs. It’s literally the most fun I’ve had at a movie in many years. The hateful comments seem like such brain dead takes things like “more of the same thing.” Um, you know what the word “sequel” means right? It’s literally meant to be more of the same thing. Or in 2016 it was “we wanted the Real Ghostbusters not a reboot” in Afterlife it was “we wanted more of The Original Ghostbusters who only showed up at the end.” Now in 2024 it’s “we want less of the Ghostbusters”…from a GHOSTBUSTERS movie. That’s like wanting less Pokémon in a Pokémon movie or less superheroes in Avengers. There are some people whom you can never please. I was pleased though, as was my fiancée. Can I tell you one more thing? Bustin makes me feel good.

Go Mckenna Grace! Exactly! You nailed it! Critics and haters alone always want to tear everything down! People shouldn't take everything seriously especially movies! Life is too short! You guys did a great job on it! I absolutely loved it! Fantastic movie! I was so happy to see all of you back even Slimer and the little cute Marshmallow Men! Lol! I love your character Phoebe Spengler, you were so awesome and still my favorite since you first appeared in Ghostbusters: Afterlife! I thought this movie was the best Ghostbusters movie. It had the most interesting story out of all the Ghostbusters movies to me which had both really some terrifying and very funny moments even great moments with you as Phoebe were pretty deep. Of course love Paul Rudd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Annie Potts, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Logan Kim and Celeste O'Connor even the newcomers Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, James Acaster and Emily Alyn Lind along with William Atherton returning as Walter Peck who hated the Ghostbusters in the very first movie and who always wanted to shut them down. Lol! I felt that the movie took some elements from the Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon series, Loved that! Let's not forget the Ghostbusters theme song by Ray Parker Jr never gets old. The audience I was with we all clapped and cheered.

I enjoyed ghostbusters frozen empire it’s awesome

I am going to have fun, critics are not Ghostbusters fans lol

Saw the film, I enjoyed it. Hope the franchise continues.

Just an amazing amount of maturity for such a young actress. I have become a huge fan of hers, not just for her acting & positivity but also for her interactions with the fans, and her maturity. Great going Mckenna!

She is amazing in this series. She's so quirky and akward. Perfect for Ghostbusters. She's spot on in this interview also. ❤

What created big expectation is that a first sequel was made; the GB were like born to fix the reason behind all the powerful manifestations. The third chapter was seen with multiple franchises of men and women, active around the world for the big final. But years have passed. "GB:2016" trolled the fans. "GB:Afterlife" then created great hope and "Frozen Empire" great expectation to see the story finally progress to a conclusion. But, hearing reviews, I think the concept is now simply entertainment. To understand fans: The first movie presents itself as a reflection of the real world under a broken spiritual balance; it goes biblical, spiritual, with a particular attention on causes. When young, it's the action and humor that captivates, the personalities, the positive ending. Old, you understand more how dark, heavy, the movie actualy is, while the spiritual aspect becomes important; it's the reason behind everything. The movie doesn't speak only about paranormal; it takes position against cults, hidden societies, what separates people; more obvious in "GB:Afterlife" through Ivo Shandor; It's also controversial for trapping spirits and not just "built entity" like Slimer, as it interrupts their spiritual evolution in the outerworld. The team is an expression of unity, of how far humanity could go when hand in hand; breaking up felt impossible in "Afterlife" for being like family; the beauty in the first two films is that good reunites people each time. Because the first movie was intelligent and for stating that everything has a reason, that the world was saved, a sequel created a question and great possibilities when the fashion is to make a trilogy; it increased the passion; half the fans wanted an ongoing series while others wanted a final centered on restoring the balance once and for all; it's not normal to have a "Ghostbusters department" in a city. The third movie wouldn't be about a cult but what affects the link between the two dimensions. Ghostbusters is part of those rare movies that have values and a special place in people's heart; for being as meaningful as what "StarWars" or "BackToTheFuture" was back then, fans hoped simply a final with the same quality. We're now old and feel that a pleasant movie is now just as important. And with what hollywood did in the last decades, there's not much to hope for.

despite the quality of the film, it must be frustrating for young actors to read online reviews. So many people easily trashing movies - sometimes they don’t even know what the real rubbish is..

I went in wanting a super fun movie and that’s exactly what I got it was fantastic.

I saw it yesterday I thought I was great Hope to see more movies with this cast

McKenna Grace is simply fantastic

I like how Mckenna is chill when it comes to people that are hating on the movie and saying that if they didn't like the movie that it's fine and that it's not for them and they shouldn't watch it. In my opinion, I think Mckenna and the rest of the cast are doing a wonderful job, I just saw Frozen Empire last night. There is definitely something for everyone in that movie. When she says that the movie is for the fans, it really is for the fans. It tells a great story while bringing something old and new into it. I also applaude Mckenna for calling out the people who were having high expectations and who are closed minded weren't giving it a chance, because she's right.

The only thing I didn’t care for was the over the top humor/jokes they had. Aftelife had more of stale jokes vs campy jokes in this one. The contrast of the new characters roles were almost like night and day. The humor/jokes should fit with their character from Afterlife and this one didnt as much.

WOW...she's far more beautiful here than in the movie. I can picture her as Cinderella, Snow White or Sleeping Beauty.

I even loved the Afterlife movie cause to me its like the truest way of handling down tye mantle of Ghostbusters to the next generation and i can't wait to see the next Ghostbusters movie that will have McKenna and the 5 other cast members in 10 years time

It certainly feels more like the Ghostbusters 3 we all were waiting for for so many years than both the 2016 film (a reboot can never be Ghostbusters 3) or Afterlife (Afterlife was like a quiet little indie film than then remembered that it was supposed to be a Ghostbusters film in the last 25 minutes). I don't think Frozen Empire is a fantastic film, but it's the first Ghostbusters film made in this century that I can look at and be like "If this had come out when I was a kid dreaming about Ghostbusters 3... I would have loved it".

I haven't watched Frozen Empire yet, but loved Afterlife and Phoebe and Podcast were my fave of the new chars. Can't wait to see this!

Regardless of what you think of these newer films, ya gotta hand it to her for being so diplomatic. There are enough actors who are too eager to $#!@ on the fans who are the reason the corpos thought they should mine our nostalgia to rake in a few bucks.

The new movies are meant to bring Ghostbusters to a new audience. I saw excited kids in the theater, Kids excited about Ghostbusters and it was beautiful 😁..I enjoyed the movie myself and hope they keep making them. And they basically took an episode of the animated series and made it a movie. Which I find absolutely nothing wrong with.

Saw it this week - really enjoyed how it felt, as a long time GB fan, and how it expanded the world and the lore, which needed doing in order to go forward. Great cast, lots for fans to spot, didn't go too heavy, felt like one of the better RGB cartoon plots done big! Also I didn't cry at this one, so I can watch it again sooner! 😅

THANK YOU!!!

Well said , it seems to be click bait now to hate on movies just to get views , I really enjoyed this , it's not perfect , a few pacing issues but I had a fun time with it.

It is SO WEIRD seeing 'Phoebe' with long blonde hair! lol I thought Frozen Empire was pretty good. Decent amount of comedy, interesting story, callbacks to the old movies while making room to move forward. I don't know what else I could have asked for from it.

we loved it

This is exactly how I feel about such films as Madame Webb and Damsel. They are both fun & at the very least, decent films. I not saying these films are on these same level of bad, but I’m aware that Barbarian Queen, Plan 9 from Outer Space, Troll 2 are bad films, but they are bad films that I like and enjoy. So I know I can absolutely enjoy some of these recent films that have been releasing that critics and the people are giving bad scores.

It was a DECENT movie. Started off fine, then got REALLY boring in the middle, then got great at the end. It is still a 7/10 for me but there was too much talking and not enough humor/action.

Yeah, at this moment, the critics score is 43% and the audience score is 85%..... the audience is right.

I saw some negative reviews of the film but that was never going to stop me from seeing it I’ve loved the franchise since I was a kid and apart for the 2016 abomination I have loved all the films. I went to the 1st showing of Frozen Empire Friday morning and loved it I would say if your interested in the film then don’t listen to the reviews go see it and form your own opinion
