Film Review - Ghostbusters II (1989)

Ghostbusters II takes place 5 years after the events of the original film and sees the four Ghostbusters gone their own ways and seen as lunatics after causing millions of dollars in damage to New York, but after a river of slime begins to emerge from the sewers as well as a demon hiding in a 16th century painting, the city might want to change its mind.


Like the Robocop and Highlander sequels that followed, Ghostbusters II is a mess of a film that should not have happened, although its not a mess in terms of those sequels, this one has no energy or humor, just wall to wall special effects that feel recycled from the first film and Bill Murray is forced to carry the film on his own, but even he feels tired of the role in places and personally, I don’t blame him.


All in all, 1 out of 5 for this one, avoid it at all costs.
