Worthy and entertaining, not as good as the first film, but this is a sequel worth watching!

The first Ghostbusters was a feel good, silly and entertaining film. The sequel is certainly a worthy one, and I really enjoyed it, though it seemed a little more serious in tone. Bil Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Annie Potts, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson all return, and all of them do a very credible job. I especially liked the fact that Ramis, Ackroyd and even Hudson were given more to do. The sequel, set 5 years later, shows that Dana and Peter have had a baby named Oscar, and he was really cute. As I've said already, it doesn't quite have the feel- good nature of the first film,(the ending was a bit of a letdown)due to a rather contrived plot and some of the dialogue was a bit clunky. Peter MacNicol does his best, but he is given little to do, and towards the end, I didn't see him particularly threatening. Aquitting himself better, much better in fact, is Wilhelm Von Homberg as Vigo, creating quite a sinister villain, if not quite memorable. Also there were some excellent special effects, a hilarious court room scene and the spirited performances of the entire cast, making this an enjoyable, if not entirely successful sequel. 7/10 Bethany Cox.

Their Number Is Still In The Book

All the principal characters and then some have been reunited five years later for Ghostbusters II. If you still have an ectoplasmic problem in your home or place of work, who you going to call? Why Ghostbusters II of course.

New York City has a river of ectoplasmic slime running underneath it and its feeding the sick desires of a long dead Carpathian count with delusions of grandeur to come back and rule. But first to find a host body.

Poor Sigourney Weaver, there's something about her that the spirits just can't resist. In the first Ghostbusters she was the target, now it's her infant son. Her's and Bill Murray's that is. If the no account count can get his spirit into the infant, he will be reborn with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Or does someone else have those?

As usual Ghostbusters Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson see the problem, but to convince the rest of New York that their general misanthropic behavior is what the nasty spirit feeds on.

Joining the gang is former victim Rick Moranis. In many ways Moranis is the funniest one in the film. He and Annie Potts make a delightful couple and great babysitters for poor Sigourney, especially since she can't get them to leave.

Ghostbusters II is every bit as funny as the original. And in addition the second film retains that famous and catchy theme that you won't get out of your head for weeks after seeing this film.

Serviceable follow-up

Yeah, it's not as good as the first; who thought it would be? But I find, in retrospect, that GHOSTBUSTERS II is a perfectly serviceable sequel that offers more of the same with a slightly different spin. While it seems trendy these days to mock this film (Bill Murray hates it, but I don't see why; he gets a fair bit of screen time) it's certainly no worse, and a lot better, than similar modern fare.

The film has two ingredients that help it entertain: the cast, and the supernatural elements. Cast-wise, all the big-hitters are back: Ramis, Ackroyd, Hudson, Murray, Weaver, Moranis and Potts. They share a good camaraderie, and lots of funny quips and one-liners. Nothing to dislike here.

Secondly, the ghostly stuff. The river of sentient slime flowing through the sewers is a FANTASTIC idea; I only wish they'd made more of it. Vigo isn't as an imposing a villain as in the first film, but he's not bad, and there are some good effects of his forehead bulging from the canvas. Okay, so Peter MacNicol is awful, and there's a slightly rushed/shoddy feel to the last third of the film, but for the most part I liked this one...not loved it, like the first, but liked it well enough.
