Paste MagazineTara Bennett Mar 20, 2024
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire doubles down, fully committing to its existence as a cynical nostalgia raid masquerading as a movie. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMar 20, 2024
The ghost gimmicks, sight-gags and settings — the New York Public Library — as well as the non-supernatural villain (Atherton) are, like Murray’s attempts at his jokey old self, simply recycled from the original films. Read full review

Wall Street JournalKyle SmithMar 21, 2024
What was once thrilling, inventive and funny is now desiccated and limp. The pertinent question, it turns out, is not “Who you gonna call?” but “Why did they bother?” Read full review

We Got This CoveredCharlotte SimmonsMar 25, 2024
We might as well let AI make the soulless nostalgia fare at this point; you'd get roughly the same result as 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,' and that $100 million budget could have been spent on movies worth spending it on. Read full review

The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeMar 22, 2024
The reverence for the past here does nobody any favours. It is as if a 1984 kids’ film tried to get them interested in the collected lore and backstory of Abbott and Costello. We all need to move on. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinMar 20, 2024
There is a noxious undead pong emanating from this latest entry in the 1980s franchise, which is now being necromantically sustained through force of sheer commercial desperation, and nothing else. Read full review
