Bill Murray actually seems to be in a good mood while doing publicity for this movie, which should tell you how much money they gave him.

"You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox" That Line from jurassic park pretty much sums up all the souless cash grab sequels Hollywood keeps pumping out. Ghostbusters (1984) really should've been a one and done.

Jeremy is probably the only movie critic on KZfaq that isn’t influenced by any outside social media and just says how he genuinely feels about a movie, and I appreciate that. Thanks Jeremy

I felt the same way about Finn in the first one. We were baited by his Stranger Things fame. You take him out of 'Afterlife', nothing changes. In fact, you get a better film of an only child, discovering her legacy.

As a wiseman once said: “Am I so out of touch? No. It’s those children who are wrong.” In this case, the studios just fired all the people who could make a good movie.

That thumbnail means the movie is Mehhh

Aykroyd needs to get more appreciation for all the good he's done for film and entertainment in the past 40 fkn years.

3:39 "There's a nostalgic reference coming in three, two (middle finger,) one... Why don't you tell us how you _REALLY_ feel Jeremy!? lol I absolutely LOVE the subtlety nonetheless! 🤬 🤘😆🤘

Hey. Lets all still count our blessings that it's not a sequel to the Melissa McCarthy Ghostbusters film.

"Ghostbusters: Afterthought" THAT! Made me lol...

Yep, hit the nail on the head again. One of a few reviewers left who hasn't completely sold out to the studios.

Your channel is my go to movie review. Relatable in the media space and just enjoy watching movies and accept it for what they are. Either good or bad. Keep being who you are. You are the right critic for the people who loves and enjoys movies. Stay blessed 🙌

Glad to see the Ghostbusters coming back to the horror elements, very much needed.

Is it weird that I don't even hear about these movies anymore until Jeremy suddenly makes a video about them??

I took my nine year old daughter. She loved it and wants to go back and rewatch the original that she's seen a few times when I've had it on. She sat in the car on the way home, singing the song, asking me about Slimer and she could remember the name of Egon's granddaughter which I couldn't. The teenage super genius girl character seemed to resonate with her and I'll take that. She loved it and I loved it for her!

"Afterthought." That's perfect. Exactly the word I was looking for.

Bustin makes me feel good.

Ranked: Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, Afterlife, Frozen Empire, sudden-onset diarrhoea, vomiting into my own mouth and then Ghostbusters 2016

Afterlife I felt was such a good conclusion to the franchise and a perfect way to close the story especially with the tribute to Egon/Harold Ramis at the end. I knew that by continuing the series there would be a lot of issues, and it seems my worst fears have come true with this new film.

been watching you since I was 12 now im almost 24. Just want you to know you are the absolute man love the consistency and love all you do. cheers my friend.

I think audiences in general are over the nostalgia-bait now. That had its time, but now it's just boring.

#1 - Ghostbusters (1984) #2 - Ghostbusters II (1989)

Hollywood. Ruining every great franchise one at a time

Spot on review. Watched it last night with my 11 year old son. He enjoyed it but I felt there were way too many characters, a plot with potential but not fully realised, etc They should have left it at Afterlife, or, if they feel the need to keep the franchise going, take a completely new direction in the Ghostbusters ‘universe’.

Thanks for ALWAYS being "straight up" and "HONEST" on your reviews!!!

Example of a fantastic movie that didn’t need to be turned into a franchise at all

Best review, you expressed exactly everything that I couldn't find words for. The biggest problem as you said is the multitude of characters, the movie is like in a million places at the same time and it ends up feeling convoluted and forced. Also so much screen time wasted going nowhere, like the Slimer scenes.

Jeremy has truly been one of the most consistently good youtubers since like 2008. And hes arguably in his best era. Love to see it

You have expressed exactly my feelings. Honestly, you could have done the whole film with Aykroyd and Grace and nothing really would have changed.

You're not grumpy. You just aren't fooled by lazy entertainment.

It was truly a movie

You perfectly hit the nail on the head. nothing in this movie felt like it was complete, including the characters, like you said, WAY too many that it destroyed any attempt at a storyline, Finn served no purpose whatsoever, and the biggest thing they had going for this movie was Slimer, and they even blew that. I also noticed there was no real music in the film, nothing fun, or upbeat, until they drop the main song at the end. The "frozen empire" built up slowly to ... nothing. If you're going to freeze NYC, show us a frozen NYC. Set the main fight OUTSIDE in the FROZEN city, not snug inside a corner of the firehouse. And the main "ghost" was a complete failure in my opinion. It looked like they borrowed one of the demons from Scooby Doo, instead of actually getting creative and giving us a Ghostbusters worthy character like the original marshmallow man. I went in with an open mind, and no expectations, and was still completely disappointed.

Almost 2M subs! Keep at it, Jeremy. Been a fan for years. Love your quippy reviews. Glad the channel is growing steadily. More power to yah!

I love that you haven't "Stuckmanized" yourself. You still hold true to your words with reviews. Keep it up man!

You took the words right out of my mouth with this movie! Great vid!!

I would love it for Jeremy to review the original Ghostbusters movie.

My ranking 1. Ghostbusters

I'm happy you still critique with a thoughtful eye. Thx!

When I heard reviews this morning as I was getting ready to see it, I thought, oh these are younger ppl, another generation, they don't get it (the OGs), but now I agree. The best thing I can say about the movie w/o spoilers is that it made me want to see the original and there's no need for a soundtrack, it pretty much mirrors the original throughout, which was kinda nice, and Ernie looks great! The really funny parts were few and far between. Timing was off. It was nice to see the OGs, but, yeah, they need to give it up.

The fact they couldn't get Rick Moranis to reprise his role is simply baffling. The guy lives in New York City, where a decent amount of the movie was filmed. How in the hell was Ryan Reynolds able to get Moranis to film an ad for Mint Mobile but no one could get him in Frozen Empire? Not saying he could have saved the film, but it shows how little care was given to film in general.

I’m just waiting for the Pitch Meeting about this movie.

I do appreciate your honesty, Jeremy. This is not the news I wanted to hear cuz I was looking forward to enjoying myself watching this over the weekend. I hope it's similar to hearing your review of Jurassic world, where I did find some enjoyment in it. Thank you though, I will manage my expectations and go in this knowing how disappointing it can be.

I normally agree with you dude, but not this time. I do see some of your critiques but I felt this entry was overall a fun time reminiscent of The Real Ghostbusters cartoon. Being back in NY I think lent itself to some over done nostalgia, but I for one welcomed it. I enjoyed the hell out of it.

This makes me nostalgic for the 80s when we had original ideas.

They shouldve let the Spengler family move on, the whole afterlife cast wasn't need for Frozen Empire, it should've been Winson restarting the whole new GB group with actual recruits. and not a silly family.

You have officially become a critic. Or maybe going into it having seen this lowered my expectations, which enabled me to enjoy it the way it should have been. I wasn't bored, found it fun but not funny. Yes, there are good points Jeremy makes. There is too much going on at times, but that doesn't ruin it. A better director would could have enhanced it.

Dont you dare to change or stop what you do!!! We love your style, personality, every single review is awesome! DON'T CHANGE AND DONT STOP!! PLEASE!!

Saved me some money going to the theater, thank you Jeremy!!! I'll wait for streaming...

Only reason Fin Wolfhard was in Afterlife was cause of Stranger Things, that has passed and so has his time.

Spot on review! Just saw it yesterday. I can handle nostalgia feelers and fan service, in fact, i dont think its always a bad thing, but when a movie just doesn't make sense im done with it. The characters all do things that just feel so forced or out of character.

Great review. Completely honest, spot on, and to the point.

I love how there's already like 5 or 6 notifications in my KZfaq account and all of them posted Ghostbusters Frozen Empire review at the same time. I know it's the whole embargo thing but it's still kinda funny how it's all posted on youtube at the same time 😂

Kenan & Kel, miss that show

Bro what hair products did you use or are using currently? Love the Miguel O Hara look

I mean did we get a fuc*ing decent movie this year? Jesus... Did we though? I can't think of a good one..

Let your evolution happen, Jeremy. Don't fight it. Be grumpy. You've earned it.

So a modern version of Ghostbusters 2. Which will probably grow in popularity later on in life.

There are two ghost busters movies :D thank you for the review!

“Smells like barbecued dog hair.“ 😂🤣😂 Classic line, from classic Ghostbusters, written by one of the best Hollywood writers of all time, Harold Ramis, a.k.a. Egon.

The first two Ghostbusters (1984 & 1989) are from a different era. An era of talent, where people could come up with an original idea. Does anyone in Hollywood have a shred of creativity left in them?

The reason why Afterlife was so good was because it did none of the things you mentioned in this video, maybe Jason should’ve directed this one also, but either way.. I’m still looking forward to it!

Whenever I look at my phone during a movie tells you allot! I never look at my during a good movie! The pacing was slow! I agree with everything you said!

To be honest frozen empire was a 9 out of 10 movie for me, it was a bit slow, maybe a previous encounter with the boss ghost would have help but overall I watched it twice. The last movie that got me to do that was endgame. Dan aykroyd was awesome along with the new cast.

You are a great critic! Today's movies are mostly made by people who are more incompetent and care far less about quality and more about profitability.

I KNEW IT! I could tell from the numerous clips they’ve released, which all had not only the WORST dialogue I’ve heard in a film since the last 10 Marvel movies,, but delivered with ZERO enthusiasm. All the clips were boring… like they were trying to hide the fact that the rest of the film was going to be as dull. Thanks for confirming my suspicions Jeremy. I’ve come to trust your opinions.

I really enjoyed the film but I felt there were too many characters introduced. I loved seeing the OG characters back! There were a lot of instances where I thought the scene plot would have a great pay off but it fell short and I was left underwhelmed. Regardless, I still suggest going and checking it out in the theaters for the fun factor, clear your mind, grab some popcorn 🍿 an icee...then enjoy! But for my hardcore diehard fans of the franchise, just a heads up it might not be your cup of tea but I still feel you will enjoy your time watching the proton packs/og crew return to the big screen and you will find yourself laughing at some slapstick one liners but I would suggest not going in with high hopes....I told myself leaving the theater, maybe on the next one 🤞

I admit I was entertained because I knew what was coming cameo-wise and in terms of nostalgia bate. I mean, there are good ideas there, good set ups, Visuals that landed well (i liked the posessor jumping through the glass) ... I am a sucker for the new tech and uniforms (black version and the red parkas are cool) ... a ghost posessing the Ecto 1 and even a proton gun is an entertaining idea. The proton packs of all things being rendered useless is a good idea. But they threw those ideas away super quick. And the solutions (if there where any) where sloppy at best. Bill Murray interrogating Kumail Nanjiani could have been a highlight if they wanted to, but the only idea they had with that was throwing pens... oh well. Thematically they could have gone with characters growing "emotionally cold and distant" with each other, maybe even exacerbated by paranormal influence of the chill "ice ghost" (kerlens of that where there with the original team growing apart and also of course Phoebes arc)... then unite again in a meaningful way to defeat the guy. Well, i could go on, but in the end it just made me shrug and say "Jep. That happend."

I absolutely adored Afterlife. From the trailers of Frozen Empire, I'm under the impression it doesn't have the heart that Afterlife had. This review confirmed this.

1 Ghostbusters 2 Ghostbusters 2 3 Ghostbusters TVG 4 Ghostbusters Afterlife 5 Ghostbusters Frozen Empire

Totally enjoyed it. Long time Ghostbusters fan and watched it with an open mind despite the negative reviews.

I just went out and got the ghost trap popcorn thing. It is really cool and worth every cent!!!

Ghostbusters is one of the franchises I wish Hollywood would leave alone.

Bill Murray's character is one of the main characters in the first films. Putting him in the background is like putting Batman behind the bat family!

Solid movie but I agree completely with your analysis. I gotta watch it again to get my full impressions

I love how each thumbnail of your videos tells me weather i need to watch movie or give it a skip 😅

Don’t worry about doing bad reviews friend. The burden of quality falls on Hollywood, if they want better ticket sales, better word of mouth, and better reviews, then make better movies.

0:44 JEREMY! You’re a Magic Player?!? Awesome! 👏

Dan Aykroyd was very good and it was fantastic to see him back in action! I really enjoyed how the movie felt like it actually took place in New York. I’m so used to CGI environments. The library lion scene was my favorite

Can always count on Jeremy for these well thought out honest reviews. call the movie for what it is, many youtubers use a lot of flowery language for a bad movie. Not jeremy 😂

Godzilla X Kong is out next week and that's all I need to know.

Did not expect a Magic card reference, nice! Also stood out to me in the trailer.

Late night with the devil that's the review we're all waiting for Jeremy!!!😂

Excited about this movie . but are you going to do Cabrini ?

Busting makes me feel so good

Muppet babies, Flintstones kids, pup named scooby doo, tiny tunes.... Not surprised they have baby staypuff

For me, the Ghostbusters ranking: 1. The OG 2. Afterlife 3. Frozen Empire 4. Ghostbusters II (I can't remember the last time I actually saw this) I still refuse to see that one film that shall not be discussed.

At least it leaves improvement for the third, make all three be heads and give them a proper final

At this point. They really need to make a rated R movie based on this infamous historic figure from the 15/16th century titled. The Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory. I would like a movie like that since we have not gotten a proper one for years.

While I appreciate your review, and do agree with some of the pacing and story issues, I really enjoyed this film. It felt great to be back in NYC at the firehouse busting ghosts. I thought the overall story worked for the sequel, and I enjoyed the family dynamic in the film. My kids loved it, as did the audience. I also really enjoyed the nostalgia nods. Overall, I think it's a good Ghostbusters film, and I hope to see more from this new era.

You have become a hero Jeremy, not the one we deserve but the one we need.

The thing that was glaringly obvious to me as I watched this with my grandson .Was it lacked the deadpan dry wit of the first movie .That's what made the original so good ." What the hell are you , some sort of cosmonaut "😅😅😅

I'll still give it a watch and likely find some enjoyment. Thanks for your hard work Jeremy!

I can't have high hopes for a sequel of a reboot that treated a raunchy 80s comedy like the birth of Christ.

"There will be no art, no literature..." "History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present..."

I do agree with a lot of the points made in this video. I feel like there were certain moments where the film definitely lost the plot and that there were some storylines that were clearly much more interesting than others, and that the movie didn’t pace itself very well. But I genuinely did enjoy the hell out of myself for every moment of this movie and I really do feel bad for the critics who can’t get over the small problems with it. This is a generally funny and very good Ghostbusters movie was there bad moments, definitely. But there’s bad moments in every movie. I think, considering the fact we’re getting Ghostbusters sequels decades and decades down the line and they’re not absolute trash and are actually pretty good with their biggest problem being that they’re having a hard time finding their footing we’re pretty lucky. I really cannot wait to see more of this universe and to see where they take everything.

So... don't go see it in the theaters and waste your money, wait for it to come to streaming... gotcha 👍 thanks Jeremy

Man, they really should've made Ghostbusters vs MIB on 23 Jump Street instead😢

I watched After Life for the first time and then this shortly after. After Life while not perfect by the end actually had me emotional. This movie had me wanting to take a nap.

Are you doing a Late Night With the Devil review?! Saw the trailer and instantly thought of this channel

I honestly did not like Afterlife, the kids were very annoying, and there’s no way a little kid is going to be handling a heavy ass proton pack let alone shoot one with accuracy. Ivo Shandor was still alive but died after 10 seconds of screen time, a huge waste of J.K. Simmons. Gozer obviously forgot that he/she was immune to proton blast or dodge them like in the first movie. Plus Gozer should’ve returned in the form of stay puff because that was the form that was chosen for the earth dimension. The hundreds of ghost traps around the house but there’s no containment unit? I just didn’t like it. I’ll be skipping frozen empire. 1. Ghost Busters 1 2. Ghost Busters 2 3. Ghost Busters The video game 4. Ghost Busters Afterlife 5. Ghost Busters 2016
