A terrible disappointment, a shockingly self-satisfied and unforgivably slapdash sequel.

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.

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

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

Frankly, Murray, Sigourney Weaver and even Aykroyd deserve much better.
05/06/08
Feels like a blueprint concocted by the bean-counters at Columbia Pictures.
04/03/06
Best forgotten sequel.
07/16/04
Almost as sharp as the first film and only suffering slightly from the inevitable repetitions.
05/30/07
Kids will find the oozing slime and ghastly, ghostly apparitions to their liking and adults will enjoy the preposterously clever dialog.
05/30/07
About equal to the original. Neither of them were classics.
