Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/transformation/chopping/shooting/bodily functions/electrocution/squashing.

There isn't much to say here: in a nutshell; a person walks into Ray's Occult Books his name is Nadeem Razmaadi/other name [Kumail Nanjiani:] he is a buyer and seller of many different things, in this case he wants to sell his recently deceased grandma's items in this box to Dr. Ray  Stantz [Dan Ackroyd:] a retired Ghostbuster, that owns and runs this book store, now including a presenting this Internet possibly YouTube channel [which this is where I have to apologise I have forgotten its name, I apologise for any inconvenience] with Podcast [Logan Kim:] he is into the supernatural things and he is an intern of Dr. Stantz; but let's get back to what we were talking about; this financial transaction takes place and that is when all of the major troubles begin.

Generally speaking: the script, the framework and the pacing are problematic to say at the very least as on the ground scheme of things there isn't much happening, there is a little bit here and a little bit there but as this film goes on for 115 minutes long you may as well fast-forward until maybe 45 minutes to the end, I will say this once more, just make sure I put it across that there are little bits here and little bits there happening now and again, but other than that not much.

Art, action and comedy; in no particular order [just in case they get the order slightly wrong] Phoebe Spengler [Mckenna Grace:] the youngest Ghostbuster that has unfortunately been benched for a very young age; thanks to Mayor Walter Peck [William Atherton:] as some of you will remember he tried to shut down the Ghostbusters in the 1980s but was not successful; she is plays chess with a new friend Melody [Emily Alyn Lind:] a young ghost of a similar age which had an unfortunate ending, later on the back story of this character as it relates to storytelling/visual telling where they use these small moving part within the art brings through its life and much later on when this film actually becomes a Ghostbusters film; the viewing audience has so much to see and experience, even with daring to be a little bit more dark in tone and as a theme of brief comedy we get to see Slimer being Slimer.

Character developments, performances and voice performances; the character developments; well there isn't much to talk about other than the paint by numbers approach and even this is wafer thin [other then finally Annie Potts as Janine Melnitz; as a quick reminder she was originally receptionist at the Ghostbusters headquarters; makes it into the Ghostbusters overalls which is about time to and it is well-deserved,] but I slightly digress; consequently the performances reflect these character developments and these voice performances do a solid job as well.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; as I have already indicated it takes forever to get going and to look and feel like a Ghostbusters film consistently, but when it does this portion of the film is good, now full disclosure I have no idea what is coming down the line for this franchise so this is completely based on speculation/opinion. But after stating all of this I hope they don't end this part of the franchise on this film, because to be honest that would be a sad way for this franchise to go out, I would make the next project of this crossover thing going on the final instalment and get all of the Ghostbusters together, yes when I say all I mean including Ghostbusters 2016 and try and get Rick Moranis involved, don't get me wrong I can handle things coming to an end if it is that time coming, I just don't want this particular franchise which is always try to have an element of wholesomeness to it; to go out like this and very finally there is one ending credits scene after the first lot of credits.
