Ghostbusters: Apocalipse de Gelo

They could have done so much more with this movie, unfortunately the storyline was only wafer thin, the cast were not used to to produce the same performance that they did in Afterlife and the plot holes were gaping.

If they had only made the connection with Afterlife and built upon the story from the start of the movie, then started introducing the new characters and a more convincing plot, they definitely could have made it better.

I certainly wouldn't rush to watch it again, the special effects were good, some of the comedy value was entertaining, some was just plain silly.

I scored it: 6/10.

Wanted to love it, the previous movie was great, had that Ghostbusters feel.

This movie however, even though it has all the parts needed, was well shot and looked decent enough, had plenty of stars and the original cast, was just dull. Felt like an obligation. Comes across like the first draft and they just said "yeah go with that"..it's low energy low fun low everything. You won't hate it, but you'll probably lose interest half way through and you'd never watch it a second time. Maybe it was a contractual obligation that they make one in a certain amount of time or something, don't know, but it's disappointing.

As i recall this is the 5th overall ghostbusters film since the 1984 first entry and still hollywood can not bring back the magic the first film had 40 years ago.

The first film had everything needed. The sci fi and fantasy factor the comedy element a great cast and above all a superb 80s epic soundtrack. The title ghostbusters song by ray parker junior is legendairy and still fresh after 40 long years. Even air supply performed a great ballad called "i can wait forever" a 6 minutes epic song which could be released as a single back then and score the charts.

We don't get songs like these anymore. This new entry in the franchise tried to bring back some magic of the old but not much succeeded to do.

The original cast was back but for a little time and they are getting old.

The music is indefferent and the good scenes are redused in the last half an hour of the film.

How i wish we could get the old days back. Sadly nothing will match the original 1984 ghostbusters film. These were the days .....

This film is the epitome of okay. It relies on a fairly bland, standard plot with tepid, generation spanning humor. It's an offensively inoffensive product, which takes few risks while attempting to cater to a generic corporate vision of the 'standard audience'.

Most of the performances are adequate. It includes a large and diverse cast of all your favorite new, forgettable characters, played by actors from better films.

Perhaps most importantly, the film overflows with member berries and nostalgia bait for product craving consumers of all ages and backgrounds.

And in a financial sense, the corporate entities and creators behind the film were moderately successful, earning over $200 million dollars on a film with a $100 million dollar budget. Truly, a triumph in generic corporate film-making.

Watched this film today and spent the whole time trying to articulate what was wrong with it to myself. Basically I didn't hate it and I didn't love it. It was competently made, good effects, some comedic moments and good set pieces. But it just didn't feel like something derived from a SNL skit. The joy of ghostbusters was that it was free wheeeling, that it was anarchic. That, similar to the Blues Brothers, somebody had allowed a bunch of slackers to spend millions on making a movie which to coin Bill Murray from Meatballs "just didn't matter". Afterlife was touching and sweet, looking back at that time with a smile and a wink. This however, was just a generic family action movie, using the brand name of the ghostbusters. It left me indifferent.
