Ghostbusters II
Having lost their status and credibility five years after covering New York City with gooey roasted marshmallows in Ghostbusters (1984), the city's former heroes and once-popular spirit-hunters struggle to keep afloat, forced to work odd jobs. However, when Dana and her baby have yet another terrifying encounter with the paranormal, it is up to Peter Venkman and his fearless team of supernatural crime fighters to step up and save the day. Once more, humankind is in danger, as rivers of slimy psycho-reactive ectoplasm, paired with the dreadful manifestation of evil sixteenth-century tyrant Vigo the Carpathian, threaten to plunge the entire city into darkness. Is the world ready to believe? Can the Ghostbusters save us for the second time?

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I think Ghostbusters II is just as good as Ghostbusters. If you have seen the first one and enjoyed it, it's highly recommended you see the second one because it's just as good. I certainly enjoyed it. Both were different movies too. I'm glad a sequel was made because it didn't disappoint me one bit. If I were to watch Ghostbusters again, I would watch both the movies together. The amazing thing about Ghostbusters is just how classical it is - truly 80s stuff. I like the catchphrase: "Who you gonna call?" that's one of the first things that will come to mind whenever we hear of the Ghostbusters. I really like the theme song too - it never gets old.
Sequels are a tough thing to follow and this was no exception. We have to remember the first movie is an original. People talk about ghost all the time. But its an idea that was an original about 4 guys dressed up in outfits driving around a hearse. On top of that these guys where scientist (3 of them were the other was a random guy they picked up off the street who wanted a job. And he was black but it didn't give that stereotypical feeling directors try so hard to do in movies. Annoying as hell from a black person perspective. Like who the heck acts like that.) who were kicked out of a college and started a business against the wishes of the public. Most films that do this usually focus on one person. Not 3 individuals all together who have equal parts. The first film didn't even have a license to film in streets like you have to have now. You just can't go filming a movie anywhere you want. You are going to need a permit. In the first one they would go film and they would get told to leave. Kind of probably why they were so comfortable with telling the police in the second movie to go leave while they were drilling a whole in the middle of new york busy street. Doesn't that look natural to you?The second one brought back all the characters. No reason to fix what works. Those guys have been acting for years. Professionals before then and especially after the fact. So why mess with it. and sigourney weaver is a great female actress. Good looking and very witty. Believable and didn't over due her parts. She wasn't out classed by any of those actors. She held her own. The idea of the slime going through the sewer was great. It definitely kept you interested. And to this day I have that jackie Wilson "higher and higher" stuck in my head. I play the song at work all the time. Not very original to be honest sticking an old song in the movie. Movie directors of the late 80's and early 90's were all over that. And it worked. It also had a hip hop feel to it with the music. Bobby brown song was great. Another person lost in the late 80's and 90's with his music but was an icon during his time. (icon as you can get for music i guess.) The movie got 3 points off cause it missed on some things that they could have done. First the history of the characters and adding a dark side to it. Which you aren't going to get in a comedy movie. But successful movies that have a second movie use that movie to dig back into why instead of what. So sometimes you get a better reason that they didn't have time to explain it in the first movie. Kill Bill 2 is an example, The Godfather 2 is a perfect example. Even back to the future 2 which is in the future goes back and describes biff more. It just something really great scripts do to try to catch up to the book. And if your plot is good it works. But for what the plot was in this movie it did great. A group of scientist who got sued after the marshmallow man ripped through town and they got blamed for it, now they are doing other side jobs to stay afloat. Doesn't sound like a great plot, but you throw in great acting, great comedy, one liners, and simply just a smooth plot along with some creative ideas and you have a great sequel. So this is a must see movie to me. Especially if you have kids. I mean there are some nice cartoons to see and yes iron man is good (it will be a while before you see that on my review list, i have to go through the classics first) but this movie will be fun for your children if they like to be original. My son loves both ghostbusters and has seen all the star wars and hes only 7. And you can actually watch this movie and not have to turn it off realizing it wasn't for children. Who framed Roger Rabit was terrible about that. Good movie but still. I thought it was for kids, it wasn't. One more thing this movie I have came in a blu ray box with two of them in there, like a hard back book and two dvds inside with a personal letter from the director explaining why he made the blu ray set. Heart felt and i read ever bit of it. That reason alone is what makes writing reviews for movies and reading them so great.
This film is a disgrace to the original Ghostbusters. The original Ghostbusters is quite possibly my favorite comedy of all time. This sequel that was released in 1989 is downright terrible. I remember watching this sequel when I was about seven or eight years old and not liking it. However, yesterday I tried watching this film again since I love the original and I (shockingly) loved the 2016 one, and I could not even finish Ghostbusters 2 because it was so awful! I made it an hour into it and I could not even finish it. The movie is painfully unfunny. It felt like a parody of the Ghostbusters! I don't know what went wrong with this movie. I can watch the original and the new one multiple times and laugh out loud, whereas with the sequel to the original I only chuckled once! Overall, this movie is an absolute disaster. It is horrible and I will never EVER watch it again. This movie absolutely gets a 1/10! I'm telling you avoid it and just stick to the original 1984 one and the new 2016 one!
Ghostbusters II is a good continuation , at least in my opinion, I found fun and funny as the first , plus the script is a little lazy, because they do not have anything new , except the villain , the direction is still the Reitman the main cast is much of the supporting cast around for this film , I found the villain of the film with a half story dull, some gain even more prominence , the soundtrack is very good, the effects are better , the film is fun continues with unnecessary time and insufferable characters , the acting is good , some are mediocre , the more largely are competent , and the last 30 minutes in my opinion are very good.
