Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director breaks down how they created Baggie, the haunted trash bag
ew.com/ghostbusters-frozen-empire-director-how-created-baggie-haunted-trash-8612415
Quick Glance: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - A Sad Nostalgia Bait
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire disappoints as the weakest link in the series, overloaded with nostalgic references.
- Despite some positives like the portrayal of Phoebe Spengler and the intriguing lore of the new villain Garraka, the film is often derailed by the return of the original cast.
- The plot involving an ancient artifact unleashing a new ice age presents promising elements, but the excessive tethering to the past comes off as pitiful and tiresome.
- Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire embodies the state of the modern blockbuster, attempting to capture fans' attention at all costs but ultimately falling short of expectations.
