I think a big error they made with Frozen Empire was setting it in New York but not using New York as a character like the first two.
In the original movies the city was present and vibrant, with people doing their business while the Gbs were strolling around the University, checking the library, digging a hole.... And then, when disaster stroked, all the city was involved, hundreds of people were scared and running and yelling and being slightly relieved at the GBs arrival.
Neither Afterlife or Frozen Empire did that. They were too self contained movies, Garraka Empire wasn't shown or used (only a glimpse of frozen buildings), and only a bunch of people were greeting the Ghostbusters outside the firehouse.
We need more epicness. We need a whole city in danger, with the threat building up from the beginning (like GB2 did) and then gaping the whole city with a grand finale in Times Square.
Now, Aykroyd has recently talked about Sony wanting to do more movies, let's hope for improvement.
