Superman can beat most foes, easily, but when it comes to ghosts, he unable to touch them without plot armour, so, who you gotta call?
Same. I'd love to see a new Real Ghostbusters line with those two in particular. But I wouldn't be able to justify that price even before the economy went to hell.I want those, but there is NO WAY they are worth $200 each. Around Half that and I'd be all for them. I don't care how much or how long I've been wanting toys of Boogeyman and Sam Hain, I can't justfy the price for them.
Keep in mind thats $200 for a Ghostbuster, accessories, small ghost, and Large Ghost with alternate heads. Not each figure.
It assuredly is. Same reason Lego can’t do “mini figure sets” for Star Wars (and probably Marvel as well); Hasbro has the rights for single packed mass retail action figures. Their Ghostbusters license might even extend to scale options as well (Spin Master can make 4” and 12” figures, but not 6 or 7 because those scales are locked to McFarlane).I read somewhere that it's probably a licensing stipulation that they have to come in multipacks, which would be a shame.
I've also been holding my breath for Hasbro 6" RGB. Maybe they'll announce another movie soon...It assuredly is. Same reason Lego can’t do “mini figure sets” for Star Wars (and probably Marvel as well); Hasbro has the rights for single packed mass retail action figures. Their Ghostbusters license might even extend to scale options as well (Spin Master can make 4” and 12” figures, but not 6 or 7 because those scales are locked to McFarlane).
Welcome to the world of “slicensing”!
While I appreciate Hasbro’s work…I still have a love for RGB. And I’m sad Hasbro’s been leaving that avenue unexplored aside from Kenner reissues. I’m holding a small flame on the hope that the o-ring 4 pack gets retooled into an RGB set.
I think it is a pretty good when you view it as an episode in a series. It didn't need to be super impactful. A conflict and resolution with action and nice character moments. It couldn't have relaunched the franchise, but movies like this will be perfectly welcome for me as long as they want to make them.So Frozen Empire is now on Netflix and we finally sat down and watched it this weekend.
I like seeing Winston and ray together and they have a great golden years moment towards the end of the film.
Phobe and her ghost "Friend" Melody were very annoying and Melody's role in finale was so foreshadow that 20 minutes into the film the movie sent me a text message to let me know what would happen.
The possessor ghost running away with the cylinder doesn't make any sense as it needs the player to play the chant, and a 130 year old wax cylinder player isn't exactly a common thing.
The whole fire master thing was handled very poorly and just for laughs.
I did like that they limited the kids screen time in this film, but they focused on Phobe and made her the most annoying of the kids. Lucky was barely in the film.
The villain was visually neat, but really was just something that they unleashed on themselves.
The mayor being the antagonist from the first film was great.
Overall, I would give the film a 3 out of 5.
Yeah, that's fair. I was intrigued by the expansion of the franchise with fire masters, but I can see how the other was a pretty consistent, meaningful theme before.Something that annoys me about this film, the fire masters.
Ghostbusters is a franchise that doesn't rely on magic, spells, or any other kind of super natural elements to handle the paranormal. They use science, And in this film, they don't really do that. If not for a fire ghost and a fire master, they would all be dead.
Sure, Phobe sort of modifies her proton pack to use brass to be more effective, but why didn't everyone else make some modifications or come up with better weapons since they know that theirs were totally ineffective. even if they didn't have the time, they should have at least tried to make some brass weapons. The only science thing that they do is use the old containment grid as a giant trap.
I just feel that mystical part of the film is not keeping with the idea of the films using technology to stop the paranormal.
