GOOD FOR HER!
I loved this film!
Love it how she said "the 4th film in the franchise". So cool that she doesn't acknowledge that 2016 mess of a Ghostbusters film!
More than a mess, one of the movie industries first attempts at political defamation of their fanbase with intentional facets in it to directly insult the fanbase and accuse us of racism and sexism. And as you will be aware since around 2016 this attitude has bled into MANY popular franchises. Closely followed by star wars 7 in 2017.
Assolutamente! D'accordo!😃♥️♥️♥️♥️🗯️💥🙏 Top!!!!
@@GeremySidebeakmi associo! Al commento!🙏🗯️♥️👋✌️✌️✌️
I love her more and more for it!
Same with die hard 5 .... never happened
Mckennas acting and her take on her character is brilliant, it's one of the shining attributes of both recent movies. Without her excitement of being part of the franchise it would just not be the same, it is felt through her character. Even if you were not a fan of the recent movies, you have to admit she was brilliant in her role.
No one is saying she is a bad actor. They just tired of the woke politics in movies. You have to admit this why she was hired to be in the movie
@@billted3323Not really, Ghostbusters Afterlife and Frozen Empire are not woke in any way unlike the 2016 version.
its woke in alot of ways. and you can google the reasons people think so. @@followerofchrist3125
@@followerofchrist3125exactly there are far to many man child’s and women child’s wanting it to be their way like it was back in 1984. Please for heavens sake grow the heck up and go into the movie with no preemptive assumptions, just go enjoy and stop complaining.
@@PeterWhite-jz6np I would not call them man or women babies, I just think people are reading into Frozen Empire too much.
I enjoyed it, without a doubt
she's awesome, don't let people ruin your positivity.
I had a smile as big as my state on my face every second of Frozen Empire. If you want to enjoy something, then you'll find something you enjoy. But this movie is definitely for the fans and hopefully will bring in some new fans
I totally agree with McKenna, and I am going to watch Frozen Empire within the next couple of days, and just enjoy it for being the Ghostbusters movie that it is. If there is nods back to the original, so be it, but that is not what I am looking out for. I love the character of Phoebe, the true star of Afterlife. I'm really looking forward to how the characters have changed over the last couple of years.
Loved every bit of it. Prior to it coming out I bought the TimeLife Firehouse Boxset Complete Series of The Real Ghostbusters and marathoned it in anticipation of this movie. The movie delivered. It was like a Live Action movie of The Real Ghostbusters which is what I’ve wanted for 30 years now. Being able to go to a movie in Ghostbuster suit with my fiancée and getting to eat popcorn from a light up Ghost Trap and drinks like “Slimer Sour Apple” and “Boo Berry Raspberry” from Mini Puft drink containers felt like being a kid again. The movie also felt like The Real Ghostbusters episodes Cold Cash and Hot Water (ice demon who wants to release ghosts from the containment unit for a ghost army) and the episode Killerwatt (as Ecto 1 gets possessed like in that episode.) There was a few moments like something from Extreme Ghostbusters or the Ghostbusters Comics. This movie is definitely a love letter to fans full of Easter eggs.
It’s literally the most fun I’ve had at a movie in many years. The hateful comments seem like such brain dead takes things like “more of the same thing.” Um, you know what the word “sequel” means right? It’s literally meant to be more of the same thing. Or in 2016 it was “we wanted the Real Ghostbusters not a reboot” in Afterlife it was “we wanted more of The Original Ghostbusters who only showed up at the end.” Now in 2024 it’s “we want less of the Ghostbusters”…from a GHOSTBUSTERS movie. That’s like wanting less Pokémon in a Pokémon movie or less superheroes in Avengers. There are some people whom you can never please. I was pleased though, as was my fiancée. Can I tell you one more thing? Bustin makes me feel good.
I totally love your comment and totally agree with you and what Mckenna Grace said here in the video, she's so awesome! I'm stealing that last part what you and what Paul Rudd said in the movie which was one of the best lines ever! Lol! 😊❤
Totally agree with you, this movie was a BLAST!...It delivered what me and others had been waiting for for so long...Ofcourse it was never going to surpass the original, that movie was a product of the 80s and lightning in a bottle that can never be recaptured...But this was a very fun and worthy sequel with great performances, specially from Mckenna, Rudd, Akroyd and Hudson, plus it added new gadgets, equipment, ghosts, new team members and a cool new villain that all expand the lore and franchise...It finally passed the torch in a proper way, introducing new bold ideas but also staying respectfull to what came before.
I loved every second of this movie. I hope Sony doesn’t listen to the critics. I want them to make a few more sequels before any more of the originals pass away.
So far it's bombed because most people are tired of watching regurgitated, woke, "member berry" crap from 40 years ago. Probably won't happen anytime soon.
The films made $60 million at this point with a budget of $100 million. It would need to make around $200 million just to break even after marketing and theater ticket sales...
It is actually a very good movie. I watched it and wondered what the hell the critics didn't like about it. It has all the warmth and humor of Afterlife. But: You can see that there are some extensive cuts, probably due to the limited budget.
Afterlife had no humour.
@@pferreira1983Yes it did. You just didn't recognize it... "Are you a God?" .... 🤔....
@@pferreira1983 "I'm also an escort. That came out wrong." "The kids who go here aren't too bright. Oh, hi, Jimmy!"
My friend who loves ghostbusters said he was let down by this one mainly cause of all the cuts and jumpiness and might take a couple watches to actually like it. I dont think budget had anything to do with the cuts and stuff. Everything was filmed and just needed to be editted so it was probably just the editting team made odd choices with how they pieced it together. Even if budget played a role id think editors and the director should have found a way to make things work more smoothely or delete things that probably werent needed.
@@Sidicas That wasn't a joke but more Ray finally learning from previous mistakes.
I saw it yesterday. Loved it! The critics just wanna suck all the fun outta movie going.
Go Mckenna Grace! Exactly! You nailed it! Critics and haters alone always want to tear everything down! People shouldn't take everything seriously especially movies! Life is too short! You guys did a great job on it! I absolutely loved it! Fantastic movie! I was so happy to see all of you back even Slimer and the little cute Marshmallow Men! Lol! I love your character Phoebe Spengler, you were so awesome and still my favorite since you first appeared in Ghostbusters: Afterlife! I thought this movie was the best Ghostbusters movie. It had the most interesting story out of all the Ghostbusters movies to me which had both really some terrifying and very funny moments even great moments with you as Phoebe were pretty deep. Of course love Paul Rudd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, Dan Aykroyd, Annie Potts, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Logan Kim and Celeste O'Connor even the newcomers Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, James Acaster and Emily Alyn Lind along with William Atherton returning as Walter Peck who hated the Ghostbusters in the very first movie and who always wanted to shut them down. Lol! I felt that the movie took some elements from the Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon series, Loved that! Let's not forget the Ghostbusters theme song by Ray Parker Jr never gets old. The audience I was with we all clapped and cheered. We all loved the movie and loved that others dressed up for the movie! Can I tell you all one more thing? Busting makes me feel good! 😁😊❤🫶🚫👻
I literally had to leave a ghostbusters group on facebook because it was non stop negativity, like the film has only been out a few days, they need to give it a rest!
@@GenGamesUniverse I don't blame you. Welcome to my world. I have to deal with hateful Star Trek fans who hate everything that's new Star Trek on Paramount+ non-stop and apparently sadly same with other franchises I love too like Ghostbusters, Star Wars, DC and Marvel even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers. So frustrating.
FINALLY someone stands up against all these idiotic movie critics bashing Frozen Empire with hate which it does not deserve and keep on coming up with excuses protecting the 2016 reboot
2016 Ghostbusters was trash
@@liokartor2710 your opinion but i happen to like the reboot actually not saying im not happy with the new movies tho as i do agree we need to move on but still it's pathetic to how far there going to try to make Frozen empire fail because they never got a sequel
@@foxythejokerfox87Well I have the same opinion as liokartor2710 in regards to the 2016 p.o.s. that should have never been made. Loved every second of Frozen Empire, wish it was longer.
The reboot sucked and was a movie for nobody, Afterlife sucked and was a movie for grown men who suck their thumbs and wet the bed, and based on what I'm seeing this thing sucks too, and is first and foremost for the shareholders at Sony Pictures. Anyone who thinks "Frozen Empire" is being bashed because people are defending an eight year old reboot (which has been all but forgotten by anyone who's not an online culture warrior) is a moron.
@@foxythejokerfox87 A lot of people agree with that opinion.
It's nice that she knows what's up in the world of the critics.
She's a very awesome actress and she deserves to be in the movie. She doesn't care about the idiotic critics. She should be in every Ghostbusters movie. I wouldn't care what those idiots think. They're not the true Ghostbusters fans. Because they just want the franchise to die.
If the movie entertains, the actors did their jobs. It's sometimes really that simple. Not always, but sometimes. This is one of those times.
Yea, "this is one of those times" speaks to the "not always" part.
Met Mckenna at F.A.C.T.S belgium. Told her in person, please never stop making Ghostbusters and repeated it during the public mainstage Q&A. Please never stop making Ghostbusters. She deserves it and carries the franchise once the OG team is gone.
its still better than 2016 Ghostbusters. I did find some pacing issues and plot hole problems with this movie, but overall its still a good Ghostbusters movie. I really liked the villain ghost.
@theclaybeartravels3596 Even McKenna Grace didn't acknowledge the 2016 movie as part of the franchise.
Exactly ! Don't go to the theater with the thought of it being serious. Rewatch the original movies....Serious? Not really...
i can't believe the ghostbusters are back thank you sony
You tell em girl!
I enjoyed ghostbusters frozen empire it’s awesome
Saw the film, I enjoyed it. Hope the franchise continues.
She is amazing in this series. She's so quirky and akward. Perfect for Ghostbusters.
She's spot on in this interview also. ❤
Just an amazing amount of maturity for such a young actress. I have become a huge fan of hers, not just for her acting & positivity but also for her interactions with the fans, and her maturity. Great going Mckenna!
I am going to have fun, critics are not Ghostbusters fans lol
I saw it yesterday I thought I was great Hope to see more movies with this cast
What created big expectation is that a first sequel was made; the GB were like born to fix the reason behind all the powerful manifestations.
The third chapter was seen with multiple franchises of men and women, active around the world for the big final. But years have passed. "GB:2016" trolled the fans. "GB:Afterlife" then created great hope and "Frozen Empire" great expectation to see the story finally progress to a conclusion. But, hearing reviews, I think the concept is now simply entertainment.
To understand fans:
The first movie presents itself as a reflection of the real world under a broken spiritual balance; it goes biblical, spiritual, with a particular attention on causes. When young, it's the action and humor that captivates, the personalities, the positive ending. Old, you understand more how dark, heavy, the movie actualy is, while the spiritual aspect becomes important; it's the reason behind everything. The movie doesn't speak only about paranormal; it takes position against cults, hidden societies, what separates people; more obvious in "GB:Afterlife" through Ivo Shandor; It's also controversial for trapping spirits and not just "built entity" like Slimer, as it interrupts their spiritual evolution in the outerworld. The team is an expression of unity, of how far humanity could go when hand in hand; breaking up felt impossible in "Afterlife" for being like family; the beauty in the first two films is that good reunites people each time.
Because the first movie was intelligent and for stating that everything has a reason, that the world was saved, a sequel created a question and great possibilities when the fashion is to make a trilogy; it increased the passion; half the fans wanted an ongoing series while others wanted a final centered on restoring the balance once and for all; it's not normal to have a "Ghostbusters department" in a city. The third movie wouldn't be about a cult but what affects the link between the two dimensions. Ghostbusters is part of those rare movies that have values and a special place in people's heart; for being as meaningful as what "StarWars" or "BackToTheFuture" was back then, fans hoped simply a final with the same quality. We're now old and feel that a pleasant movie is now just as important. And with what hollywood did in the last decades, there's not much to hope for.
I saw Frozen Empire last evening. It,s my 2nd favorite Ghostbusters movie now.
I went in wanting a super fun movie and that’s exactly what I got it was fantastic.
Really enjoyed the film! Felt like there was a lot cut and alternate takes used. Hoping for an extended director's cut when it releases on Blu-Ray.
Gil said there won't be a director's cut, but there will be deleted scenes on the DVD & Bluray releases.
Saw this yesterday. Great movie really enjoyed it. Love the Ghostbusters franchise 👻👻
despite the quality of the film, it must be frustrating for young actors to read online reviews.
So many people easily trashing movies - sometimes they don’t even know what the real rubbish is..
its a massive box office hit
The new movies are meant to pass the torch and bring Ghostbusters to a new audience. I saw kids in the theater excited about Ghostbusters and it was beautiful. I enjoy the movie very much. They basically took an episode of the animated series and made it into live action.
WOW...she's far more beautiful here than in the movie. I can picture her as Cinderella, Snow White or Sleeping Beauty.
She's 17 bro.. FBI
Always charming.
McKenna Grace is simply fantastic
I like how Mckenna is chill when it comes to people that are hating on the movie and saying that if they didn't like the movie that it's fine and that it's not for them and they shouldn't watch it. In my opinion, I think Mckenna and the rest of the cast are doing a wonderful job, I just saw Frozen Empire last night. There is definitely something for everyone in that movie. When she says that the movie is for the fans, it really is for the fans. It tells a great story while bringing something old and new into it. I also applaude Mckenna for calling out the people who were having high expectations and who are closed minded weren't giving it a chance, because she's right.
The only thing I didn’t care for was the over the top humor/jokes they had. Aftelife had more of stale jokes vs campy jokes in this one. The contrast of the new characters roles were almost like night and day. The humor/jokes should fit with their character from Afterlife and this one didnt as much.
She’s better at handling critics than most older actors
Brie Larson, Dakota Johnson etc… are bad at handling critics
I'm kinda looking forward to watching the new Ghostbusters movie. I even loved the Afterlife movie cause to me its like the truest way of handling down tye mantle of Ghostbusters to the next generation and i can't wait to see the next Ghostbusters movie that will have McKenna and the 5 other cast members in 10 years time
She's a smart cookie, don't take it to seriously love her 4 that!
I haven't watched Frozen Empire yet, but loved Afterlife and Phoebe and Podcast were my fave of the new chars. Can't wait to see this!
My biggest criticism is: 2+ hours wasn’t enough. Maybe it’s time to make it a 8+ episode TV series. More time with each character and more.
They're making an animated series & movie for Netflix.
Agree 100% with her take. People don't know how to have fun anymore
Its not that people do not want fun.. it seems the efforts in the past that gave us Ghostbusters are replicated with half the effort. Now we get these illogical conclusions.
Got my tickets for tomorrow night, can’t wait 👻👻👻👻❤❤❤
Watched it twice today. Loved it both times. I will watch it again! 👻🚫😁
Well, said exactly as long as I’m having a good time what the hell
I saw it and I love it so much but I’m not a fan
thats weird.. you sound like a fan.
@@wayneadams9102Fr
Saw it this week - really enjoyed how it felt, as a long time GB fan, and how it expanded the world and the lore, which needed doing in order to go forward. Great cast, lots for fans to spot, didn't go too heavy, felt like one of the better RGB cartoon plots done big! Also I didn't cry at this one, so I can watch it again sooner! 😅
It was fun. Just like she said, it's not going to win any oscars but that's cool. I wanted to be entertained and that's what it does
Saw the movie and had a blast
She impresses me every time she talks. She's awesome. Great Movie and she's a very good actress.
I look forward to seeing the film. I was a great fan of the first two, and really liked Afterlife. She, and the new guys, and the older guys did an amazing job on these films. Looking forwards to more, I hope.
She is really gorgeous 😍! I like this side of her!!! 😍😍😍
She's 17.....
It read a great nod to the fans!! We saw it on the first date!! We were yelling at the screen when things came up from the first movie, which we saw at the driveins!!!
Now this is want we want actors coming at critics that are being to hard on a movie. 10/10
You guys done good we Love it we need more films like this , bring back the 80s sense of humour
It certainly feels more like the Ghostbusters 3 we all were waiting for for so many years than both the 2016 film (a reboot can never be Ghostbusters 3) or Afterlife (Afterlife was like a quiet little indie film than then remembered that it was supposed to be a Ghostbusters film in the last 25 minutes). I don't think Frozen Empire is a fantastic film, but it's the first Ghostbusters film made in this century that I can look at and be like "If this had come out when I was a kid dreaming about Ghostbusters 3... I would have loved it".
The new movies are meant to bring Ghostbusters to a new audience. I saw excited kids in the theater, Kids excited about Ghostbusters and it was beautiful 😁..I enjoyed the movie myself and hope they keep making them. And they basically took an episode of the animated series and made it a movie. Which I find absolutely nothing wrong with.
Regardless of what you think of these newer films, ya gotta hand it to her for being so diplomatic. There are enough actors who are too eager to $#!@ on the fans who are the reason the corpos thought they should mine our nostalgia to rake in a few bucks.
Just Saw it and It was great!!
I saw it, it’s got it’s issues, the bad guy wasn’t strong enough. To many side plots… they didn’t need patton Oswald, ray could have found that info in his bookstore. I could nitpick this to death but overall it was ok. As a movie it was a bit messy.
Let's Make More Ghostbusters Movies!! I Saw Ghostbusters 4 Frozen Empire yesterday and I Loved It!! I've already Pre-ordered The Movie On DVD and Blu-Ray!! This is The 4th Movie In The Franchise!! Let's make A 5th Ghostbusters and More!! 😎👍
🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏👻👻👻👻💙💙💙!! They just got told by Phoebe🥰😃! You tell them🙂! it is so Frickin AWESOME👻👻👻!! I wanted to watch ghostbusters frozen empire and I💙it😊😊!! “ I,m going to ghost bust”👌!! oh Yeah!! McKenna grace is so talented > ghostbusters, Gifted😊! “ no one likes a smartass”!
the critics loved 2016 she busters this is for 1884 fans so if the critics hate it the fans will love it
Most fans love Ghostbusters and the comedy it has and creative ideas. Keep the movies coming! I will be watching this one!
most fans love ghostbusters? okay...........
Ghostbusters Afterlife was fun. I'm glad these aren't too serious. I watched Blind Waves reaction and had fun. McKenna Grace looks amd acts amazing and I loved the way the film is shot.
I enjoyed the movie! It's not without it's flaws but a fun movie nonetheless.
Haters gotta hate.
It's a good movie.
She looks much like Kiernan Shpipka.
Reasonable response 😊
Awesome that she completely ignores snd refuses to acknowledge that joke of a film with the cast of SNL in it. Never should have been made and does not count as part of the franchise.
Well said , it seems to be click bait now to hate on movies just to get views , I really enjoyed this , it's not perfect , a few pacing issues but I had a fun time with it.
THANK YOU!!!
I love Miss Graces' attitude. Why let so called "critics" ruin the experience of watching something that is fun & doesn't take itself so seriously?
I grew-up watching The Real Ghostbusters series. So somewow, I was prepared for this awesome and weird take in the franchise.
we love you McKenna!! And the movie ❤
we loved it
Love her take.
only problem i had with this movie is they brought Annie Potts in again, Did she Marry Egon? is she the Grandma, they never explained
Loved the movie! It was fun and nostalgic.
She's fantastic! Love that she's been a fan since she was a kid. I can totally relate.
Crazy to live in a world where people pick holes in anything now just to moan about! I've just got home from watching frozen empire....it was brilliant from start to finish, some great one liners, a fantastic cast, and a great sequel to afterlife! Harold Ramis & Ivan reitman would be proud. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stuff what the critics say! I hope we get a 3rd film. 👍🎉😁
She speaks so eloquently!
People take themselves far to serious now a days and think only their opinion matters.
This is exactly how I feel about such films as Madame Webb and Damsel. They are both fun & at the very least, decent films.
I not saying these films are on these same level of bad, but I’m aware that Barbarian Queen, Plan 9 from Outer Space, Troll 2 are bad films, but they are bad films that I like and enjoy. So I know I can absolutely enjoy some of these recent films that have been releasing that critics and the people are giving bad scores.
You're comparing legendary schlock to mediocre mundanity
When she says fifth movie I would also include Ghostbusters the video game which is considered a third movie a criminally underrated video game.
I like the trailer so I'll probably like it, Mckenna is becoming a great actress.
It is SO WEIRD seeing 'Phoebe' with long blonde hair! lol
I thought Frozen Empire was pretty good. Decent amount of comedy, interesting story, callbacks to the old movies while making room to move forward. I don't know what else I could have asked for from it.
It was a DECENT movie. Started off fine, then got REALLY boring in the middle, then got great at the end.
It is still a 7/10 for me but there was too much talking and not enough humor/action.
I enjoyed the movie. I expected more dark and apocalyptic but it was still good.
I saw some negative reviews of the film but that was never going to stop me from seeing it I’ve loved the franchise since I was a kid and apart for the 2016 abomination I have loved all the films. I went to the 1st showing of Frozen Empire Friday morning and loved it I would say if your interested in the film then don’t listen to the reviews go see it and form your own opinion
Sadly.... the excitement of it actually being REAL will diminish when it's all finished and it falls into a fond memory. I hate doing something that I may never do again because it sometimes feels as though my memories aren't real....
0:33
Yeah, at this moment, the critics score is 43% and the audience score is 85%..... the audience is right.
i love her. easily the best part of the new films
“The fourth film in this franchise”, lol 2:38
Natural beauty 😊😊
