No but I actually really liked this film. Definitely not as good as the first one but it's still a lot of fun! I don't get why some people hate it :/
This got me really excited for Ghostbusters: Afterlife
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…
66/100
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…
The SLIME!
The "twin" babies playing Oscar are so friggin cute!
Always liked the special effects in this one.
1st watch in 4K.. Very nice
Ghostbusters 2 is always fun to watch close to New Years Eve.

Infamous as the sloppy sequel to the 1984 f/x-comedy hit, yet I’ve always liked it just fine. Declared by many for being poorly written, though with all those stupid yuks I tend to laugh a lot with every viewing. In the opening twenty minutes alone, Bill Murray’s psychic TV show / Harold Ramis’ extreme emotions testing lab / the courtroom scene with yammering attorney Rick Moranis leading his witnesses, gets me all giddy enough to not care that the plot outline is a rehash. The ghostbusters this time have to extinguish a demon come to life from a painting, it’s Lord Vigo and he looks like a dead ringer for Aguirre The Wrath of God. A river of pink slime…
Ok let me take my nostalgia glasses off for this one!
I admit Ghostbusters 2 is no where near as good as the original, but there are still parts I love about it.
Let's start with the good:
While the score is not as good as the original, I do really like the pop songs they used like 'On Our Own' by Bobby Brown and "Higher and Higher".
It was really great to see Egon and Winston have more to do in this movie.
The whole climax is a lot of fun, and I really enjoyed the slime blasters and how they control the Statue of Library with a Nintendo controller. The battle with the Scalary Brothers was an excellent…
