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?

The pink goo coming out of the tap in the bathtub scared the everloving crap out of me when I first watched this movie as a child.

A decent movie but it feels like they recycled a lot of what worked with the original. You have Dana (Sigourney Weaver) as their client again. A nerd obsessed with her who becomes possessed by an evil spirit. Another weasel who has it out for the Ghostbusters. The Statue of Liberty roaming the city instead of the Marshmallow Man. Except the movie isn't as good as the first film or as funny. Still; at least the original cast was back. The new reboot just sounds lame.

Most of what happens here clearly doesn’t make any sense, but it’s almost as entertaining as the first film. It felt like they tried to make it more similar to the cartoon that came out in between, with the jokes being a bit more childish and Slimer popping out here and there. The biggest issue is that the plot is carbon copy: one dangerous entity from an exotic country gets to Sigourney Weaver by possessing a nerd who is obsessed with her, the Ghostbusters are the only ones who can save the day, but there is a mandatory guy from the government whose only goal in life is to stand in their way. Also, no-one seems to believe them despite all that happened five years earlier. It was hard to top the giant marshmallow man wandering the streets of New York, but the Statue of Liberty does a pretty impressive job as a Megazord.

[7.3/10] *Ghostbusters II* is effectively a recapitulation of the first movie, with the slightest of twists. An evil demigod is threatening New York again, only this time it’s Vigo rather than Zuul. Venkman is pursuing Dana again, only this time she has a baby. An annoying dude is hitting on her u More

This bad boy came in on Blu-ray today. I had to rewatch obviously because I just saw the new one a few times, but also to see if the new trend of hating this movie and calling it shit were valid. After watching the Honest Trailer on it, I thought maybe they're right. But guess what?

I watched this straight after the first one. It was just as good as the first film. I enjoyed it.

This was another sequel that was fashionable to knock when it came out. It got panned because it couldn't live up to the first Ghostbusters. Well, what could? The first one was so original, so enormously popular than any sequel was bound to fail as far as matching it.

This second Ghostbusters was More
