Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

asiduodiego Ghostbusters II is, all in all, a funny movie, with good jokes, good effects and decent acting. It's not bad by itself, but I think it pales by comparison with the original, and that's the main reason there's so much hatred for this movie.The good: The main cast returns, the effects are improved. The performances are all fine, with some exceptions (Murray looks bored), but the jokes work all the same, and it's pretty funny. I loved Peter MacNicol's interpretation, completely, one of the highlights of the movie. If you enjoyed the first movie, you'll find the same witty humor and jokes. It's a fine comedy. The bad: The plot is recycled, and nonsensical. The original movie worked so well, because it felt grounded in reality: a world similar to ours, but with ghosts. This movie exists in a strange universe in which everyone just forgot the first movie, which is a stupid plot contrivance just to recycle the first movie plot. The characters are basically in the same spot than at the beginning of the last movie, and finish the movie in exactly the same spot than at the end the last movie, with the Ghostbusters defeating a paranormal super-villain, and being hailed as heroes. All the previous complaints are not enough to make this a bad movie, or a bad comedy. It just feels like a wasted opportunity to expand the story and the characters. In these respects, the movie feels rushed and lazy. But, I recommend you to see it with an open mind, and you'll have a good time with some laughs here and there. 7/10

Jesse 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!

Hollywood_Yoda In this sequel to the 1984 hit, the boys are back at work; at first not ghostbusting! But that doesn't last for long. New York city is full of crazy ghosts, so the boys are allowed to resume their business.It's been five years, Peter Venkman has his own talk show, and the guest believe the world will end. And Dana has a job at the museum restoring classic works of art. Both Dana and Peter soon cross paths again, paranormal paths.Peter MacNichol costars, and uses an accent, you'd never know its the same guy from Ally McBeal. Rick Moranis also returns as Louis Tully, now an attorney defending the Ghostbusters. Towards the end of the film, in the dock harbor scene, you can spot Cheech Marin. He's the dock supervisor that sees the Titanic arrive in New York. The statue of Liberty also makes an appearance to help fight the evil.This film is a riot, and it's fun. It's up there on par with the original Ghostbusters. Aykroyd and Ramis pulled off a great feat, an excellent sequel.

caseynicholson I rated the original Ghostbusters a perfect 10/10 stars, as I find it to be a near perfect comedy. Today I watched "Ghostbusters II" for the first time since I was a kid, and I found it to have held up very well.This movie is not quite as good as the original, but it's still quite good. So much so that I've gone with 8 stars rather than 7, even though 8-10 tends to be my rating for superb movies. This sequel is cheesy in a way that the original is not, but it's still very good. Both are slapstick comedy, and both have a vibe that appeals to kids and adults. Still, the sequel is just a smidge bit off compared to the masterpiece that began the franchise.One thing that adds to the cheesy factor is the poor soundtrack used. Whereas the first movie played well off the strength of Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" single, this film has some lesser known tracks that just don't have the same appeal as that hit. As for the script and the plot, it's really not bad at all. Very good, in fact. But the climax of the movie is a bit anti-climactic, and there's a scene in the midst of the film that's supposed to be a fight scene between two protagonists that isn't much of a fight at all (they supposedly were trying to "kill each other").All in all, this is a very good film. A predictably weaker sequel compared to the original, but it's still a fun watch, and one that I don't regret seeing again as an adult whatsoever.
