A slight step aside and down from the previous film, which should have been the finale for the OG GBs characters. Instead, they became the bumpers to make another one. So now we have a mix of the OGs, the kid GBs, and on top of that, like 10 other new or returning characters...there are too many characters that add nothing or affect the outcome of the story in this cut of the film. I suspect a longer cut may appear in the future, as easily this could have been 30-40 minutes longer. Because of this, the first half of the film takes a while to get going, and the mix of laughs and "horror" either works or strains. I did enjoy seeing Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) go through his machinations, and out of all the characters, the golden orb is the most interesting and important. Did I hate it? No, but I was disappointed at how inconsistent it was. Give it a half star higher, seeing the OGs suite up one more time. There is a mid credit scene but no end credit scene.
