Directed by Gil Kenan and featuring a cast led by Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace alongside Ghostbusters legends like Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Annie Potts, this sequel mixes old and new in a supernatural showdown that may be fun for kids and nostalgic adults, but doesn't offer much new.

• A Bridge Between Eras: The mix of original Ghostbusters and new faces aims for nostalgia, but falls short of fully utilizing the iconic characters. It's a pleasure to see them, but their limited impact leaves more to be desired.

• The Spengler Sweet Spot: Amidst the ghostly chaos, the Spengler family provides a grounding presence. Their interactions offer a glimpse of heart in a film that otherwise focuses on otherworldly concerns.

• Funny Yet Familiar Chaos: While the film delivers some laughs and supernatural escapades, its predictability and occasionally overstretched sequences can test your patience. The balance between excitement and excess tips towards the latter more often than one might hope.

'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' skates on thin ice with its mix of humour, heart and hauntings.

Its attempt to combine legacy and novelty in this spectral saga is commendable, but not without its missteps. Ideal for those looking for light-hearted fun with a dash of nostalgia, it's a film that entertains but doesn't quite recapture the magic of its predecessors.

It's a lukewarm addition to the Ghostbusters franchise, worth a look but with tempered expectations.
