me: mom, can we have a ghostbusters (1984)?
mom: no, we have a ghostbusters (1984) at home

Wow, this was one of the most bizarre rewatches I've had in quite some time.
When this first came out I had already practically destroyed my VHS player by playing the first film over and over and over again. So when halfway 1990 the sequel finally reached the cinematic wasteland we call the Netherlands, I was first in line to watch it. And boy did I hate its guts. I'll be honest, I really can't remember what my fifteen year old self disliked about it so much, all I know is that I had never watched it again until now.
And yes, I think my fifteen year old self is an idiot.
This film, while never truly recreating the magical…

It's fascinating to watch sequels struggle with their previous successes and how to exactly incorporate them into franchise progression, but I would say that Ghostbusters II is acceptable in its own right because of its open, even frustrated view of itself. Having its cake and eating it too, Ivan Reitman's comedy sequel conforms the first act of the film to its struggling (and successful) band of characters after the events in Ghostbusters, settling into a rhythm which is abruptly abandoned for grander spooky elements and effects wizardry. It's as if the entire cast and crew realized that, either way, people weren't going to take the film on its own merits (it was made 5 years later after all, and…
More classical than I remember but also more plagued by typical sequel problems than I remember
Somehow Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd saw that wasting almost the whole second act on Dr. Peter and Dana's awkward, tedious and utterly uninteresting troubled relationship, and then adding insult to injury with Louis Tully and Janine Melnitz's even more cringeworthy and excruciatingly painful-to-watch relationship is a better idea than finding some plausible explanations for almost everything related to the main plot, in general, and the ludicrously terrible villain, in particular!
I mean, WHY?! The first act was really promising. It had a couple of funny spooky moments, some hilarious gags, and the cast seemed to be even more charming and energetic than it was in the original. Also, the premise is quite good (and served the humor quite a…
Well this is a good example of unaccessary sequels like current Disney movies made just to milk the fans. Worked better than whatever the 2016 remake was supposed to be though.
Why? Because while being inferior in almost every aspect, from scale to jokes, it at least still keeps what made the original memorable and successful.
The Statue Of Liberty scene was pretty nice though, give it a point for that.
Hat wenig Neues zu erzählen, ist jedoch wie Teil 1 überwiegend sehr witzig. Driftet aber, ähnlich wie der Vorgänger auch, im Finale leider immer mehr in einen Trash-Film ab, was nicht zuletzt an den schlecht gealterten Special Effects liegt. Hinzu kommt ein eindimensionaler und teils lächerlicher Bösewicht.
Flawed but fun
So many creative ideas, it just doesn’t stick the landing. That’s the best way to describe the sequel to one of the greatest comedies ever made. The concept for this movie is honestly brillant. A river of slime under new york city, an ancient evil inside a painting, its really cool. The worst thing here is that the pacing is a bit slower, the jokes don’t land all the time and some story bits are off. If you were a fan of the original its worth a watch just for the concepts they tried. Its definetly not great, but it doesn’t deserve the hate it gets either.
Oh god...
After the original film
I was hyped for the next installment in this franchise.
But, Unfortunately the movie was, Awful.
The whole plot revolves around a baby, Which is really generic in my opinion.
The acting was terrible from almost all of the cast members.
Some characters does not fit into the story at all.
The jokes aren't funny.
The movie feels like a novel and less like a Ghostbusters movie.
And the opening scene god please help me....
in conclusion:
I was heartbroken when i watched the movie. Because, I really liked the first movie and wanted the second movie to be as excellent as the original. It's really sad that I had to start the summer with a huge disappointment..
Score: 30- an awful movie
why: marcon science fiction weekend
Funny. I like how it picks up where it left off. And we already love these characters.
I don’t get why a sequel was needed unless it was a cash grab. There are some ideas in this movie that are great and some good jokes. The story isn’t as good as the 1st. Hopefully the 3rd movie will be good.
