This movie has a bad reputation but I love it. Of course it's not as good as the original, but it's got a lot of wonderful moments.

Yay childhood.

I know I watched this when it was released but, unlike the first movie, I saw it only once, now I remember why. It tries way too hard to repeat the successful elements of the first movie instead of developing something new. Also all of the characters (except Moranis') come off as caricatures. It's a shame but it's just not good.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd are comic geniuses.Fact.
Add Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis to the mix and you have all the ingredients for greatness. Though not quite hitting the heights of the first movie,this does have it's moments. From Peter MacNicol's hilarious Dr. Janosz Poha to the crazy plot of a river of slime and the reincarnation of an evil seventeenth century magician intent on world domination,this has it all.
Funny, and with Murray especially on manic form the one thing they messed up was having Bobby Brown redo the theme-tune. What a fuck-up.

I've always been mad at this film for really scaring me as a child. You could argue that I was a pussy child, and you'd be right, but I would still argue that a lot of the imagery in this film is FUCKED UP and way too scary for kids.

Now I'm all growed up, I have to admit I enjoy watching this. Obviously not as good as the original, but it gets kicked down a lot. It's still funny, the chemistry is there, just overloads on the spookiness.

Also I love the Statue of Liberty bit, IT'S AWESOME COME ON.

"Do... Re... Egon!"
Incredibly fun, entertaining and hilarious.
Lacks the initial punch of the first film but it's just as charming.
At the end of the day... it's still Ghostbusters.

I've somehow never seen this until now. Lacks the humour and energy of the first movie, leaving it to Bill Murray to provide the majority of the fun, only he's not firing on all cylinders here. Messy plot, and sloppy editing which keeps draining scenes of their liveliness, but, overall, it's still a fun watch.
I didn't like the fact that they used the updated Ghostbusters logo on the Ecto-1 and uniforms. It made no sense. And the use of the very 1989 sounding Bobby Brown songs made it feel more dated than the original.

Cutest baby ever. The half star is for that alone. Also, Peter MacNicol. My favorite scene is where some woman's minks go running down the street. I have no idea why that is.

OK so it's not as good as the first one, but it's still a classic. I haven't seen it in years but was still able to quote all the lines - much to the annoyance of the missus!

I'm sure I loved this when I was younger simply because it was more Ghostbusters. Watching it later revealed it to be not nearly as good as the original film though, and it's basically the worst kind of sequel - the rehash. Still, a rehash of one of the greatest movies ever can't be all THAT bad. There's nothing about this sequel that is better than the first film, but it still has enough good moments and funny lines to be worth seeing if you love the original.
