RE: Ghostbusters Frozen Empire is an embarrassment to film in general

You have to remember, the first was just a comedy. There was no greater purpose, no intention to start a franchise, no nothing other than making a bunch of jokes. When they decided to do the second, Bill Murray didn't want to do it, feeling that it was just cashing in on the popularity of the first and that it wasn't funny anymore. The others pressured him into it, but he didn't enjoy it and then refused to let them pressure him into doing part 3. Now the studio has taken complete control and they just want money. The original actors only came along for the ride because they are old now, they don't care, and they had tons of money thrown at them so why not.

It kind of reminds me of Star Wars 7 and Harrison Ford only agreeing to do it if they agreed to kill him off. He also always hated the star wars films, feeling that they were selling out and were just doing it for the money, and he had been asking to be killed off since the second movie. With the 7th he decided he'd do it against his better judgement just because it would finally end things and he wouldn't have to field questions about the next movie ever again. I think that is a lot of why Murray agreed to do this recent Ghostbusters.
