I actually liked the 2016 movie. I kinda wished they would have pivoted off of that an continued on. Instead they pretended it didn't exist.

That's simply my $0.02 though.

I haven't seen it since it came out, so it's hard for me to give it an honest review nowadays.

In terms of cast I don't think you could have asked for anyone better. I think a zany ghost film might have worked. I think calling such a film a Ghostbusters reboot was a mistake. The newer Jumanji films do the same thing, create in unrelated film, slap a nostalgic title on it.

You could argue that the Ghostbusters franchise was already dead, so a reboot makes sense. However I think it's important that a reboot still hold true to the original source. The 2016 film lacked the horror elements that made a Ghostbusters film, Ghostbusters.

I definitely think the girls could do another movie.

It wasn't their performances that took me out of it. I actually think they did pretty great. It was the sloppy writing and not staying true to the formula.

I think they could do an alternate universe crossover. Have the after credits screen with the 2016 cast involved in a climatic battle similar to the one just concluded in Frozen Empire but they are losing. A portal appears and The Originals step in. "Didn't we just leave this party?" There is a bit of witty dialogue between the OG's and the 16's including a request that they come to our universe to help out with a larger issue. The 16 cast agrees. They all group up in a hero shot of the ensemble and "on the count of three, go on two"... re-join in the battle.
