Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A fairly dull comedy with minimal laughs, that is also sorely lacking in the franchise’s trademark supernatural excitement.

Watch the SPOILER review on YouTube A mediocre addition to “Ghostbusters” franchise, filled with lifeless new characters, and almost two hours worth of fan service, that occasionally hits its mark.
