  Ghostbusters II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With the Ghostbusters imprisoned, Vigo's evil increases and New York is engulfed in supernatural chaos.

 Classic-Horror Review of Ghostbusters II (1989)
In 1989, the first Ghostbusters was already a comedy icon, "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon was a hit with kids, and Ghostbusters toys were selling off the shelves.
Ghostbusters 2 proved to have the same magical touch that Ghostbusters had, but to a lesser degree.
The Ghostbusters now have to deal with an invincible Carpathian who is turning all the bad vibes of New York into a potent slime river (yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds).

The ghostbusters are now up against the rising of an evil spirit of a 16th century mass-murderer named Vigo who aims to inhabit the body of a newborn infant to be 'reborn' again and it happens to be the child of Dana Barrett.
From my perspective though, the second Ghostbusters movie takes what was great about the first one and built upon the greatness of that one and took on a far less comedic tone in favor of a much darker and more dramatic twist to the story line.
However, the Ghostbusters team is viewed as psychologically disturbed by authorities and is in danger of being imprisoned at mental institutions.

Our review of Ghostbusters I And II (Double Feature Giftset), published August 29th, 2005, is also available.
Ghostbusters II is presented in its original widescreen 2.35:1 aspect ratio on side A (with full screen included on side B).
I can't really recommend just the Ghostbusters II disc on its own, especially as bare as it is (unless you are a big fan of this one and not the second one…but the price you pay for that insolence is no extras).

Ghostbusters was such a uniquely entertaining and hilarious film that nearly any sequel would be doomed to fall short of the lofty expectations ladled upon it.
First, the story: a few years after the Ghostbusters saved New York from the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, the guys are banned from practicing ghostbusting--yet soon their talents will be required again as a new painting at the museum where Dana Barret (Sigorney Weaver) works is posessed by the Dracula-like spirit of its likeness, Vigo.
Never mind that "Ghostbusters 2" is painfully derivative of its predecessor, or that it's far less well structured, or that Randy Edelman's score can't hold a candle to Elmer Bernstein's for the first film.

 "WHO YA GONNA C(S)ITE?" GHOSTBUSTERS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION DEBATE
The neighbors may argue that the Ghostbusters' facility is a private nuisance[37] due to their strange activities including the comings and goings of various employees and visitors, the sirens on the Ghostbusters vehicle,[38] and the oddity of some of their clientele.
As in Ghostbusters, the legal system represented in Ghostbusters II is concerned with process and procedure, and not with the substantive issues of life and death and good and evil that occupy the Ghostbusters' time.
Ghostbusters, like many other films, appeals to a public whose frustration with what it perceives to be government bureaucracy inaction or overaction, an overly litigious[179] and corrupt legal system, corporate greed, and the individual's inability to control his or her own decisions has reached epic proportions.

Back at Ghostbusters Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis get even funnier with their geek-com moments, especially when they start playing music to affect the spectral slime's mood (followed up with a great gag later by the much under-used Ernie Hudson).
In the opening scenes of Ghostbusters II, we see the guys out of business with only Winston and Ray still clinging onto the forgotten 'Ghostbusting' business (which is basically them trying to amuse eight-year-olds at kids' parties).
Ghostbusters II has better special effects, features more on the relationship between Peter Venkman and Dana Barratt, has a catchier soundtrack and just feels more modern (it was created five-years after the original Ghostbusters but it could have been easily made in the 90's).
