Reviews for Ghostbusters 2
The film is largely an excuse for a cast get-together, with the Ghostbusters, under judicial restraining order after the havoc wreaked in part one, suffering lives of semi-obscurity.

Kids will find the oozing slime and ghastly, ghostly apparitions to their liking and adults will enjoy the preposterously clever dialog.
05/30/07
A terrible disappointment, a shockingly self-satisfied and unforgivably slapdash sequel.
05/30/07
Almost as sharp as the first film and only suffering slightly from the inevitable repetitions.

About equal to the original. Neither of them were classics.

A loose, assured sequel that has the breezy ambition of simply being fun and likable. And it is.

Plenty of agreeable nonsense to develop within the larger Ghostbusters universe. It's a sincerely amusing movie, warmly energized to give fans a steamy second helping of the good stuff.

There's plenty to enjoy here and fans of the group won't care about the shortcomings.

No one has ever accused Ghostbusters II of being a great film, or even a good one, for that matter

Hammered together out of the junkiest of elements, the movie rattles along with a pleasing rambunctiousness, tossing off its quips and one-liners and scoring on a remarkably high percentage of them.

There's very little energy in the follow-through, and this time Murray's listlessness seems more anemic than comic.
