Others say...
"Happy New Year!" It's great they re-released this on DVD by itself with BETTER cover art than the 1999 release. The old(er) release just looks stupid, cover-wise. This one's only flaws are that it has green on the cover where it should have purple, and the word "GHOSTBUSTERS" just has a regular "O" in it. Whatever happened to the proud and distingished "no ghost sign" that always accompanied the word "GHOSTBUSTERS"? The box set is no different, just so you know...but at least the no ghost sign is FEATURED on the cover, although it'd be MUCH better if they'd just release these with the original VHS cover-art(s).
But the main reason why I'd rather buy this by itself is I don't want two copies of the same movie. And the 1999 release of GHOSTBUSTERS was almost perfect, except for the lame cover art. I mean, the GHOSTBUSTERS box set (2005) didn't have as good a menu (as one other reviewer pointed out) AND it's missing the theatrical trailers for both films. With the 1999 release of GHOSTBUSTERS, you get BOTH theatrical trailers, plus the trailer for GROUNDHOG DAY & STRIPES.
As for the film, it's definitely not perfect, and definitely not for "everyone" (although technically no film is...). I'd recommend this if you were a child in the 80's and don't have disdain for its "excess" and bright colors and synth-laden music. I like the cinematography in this film, and the music; the music, I think, pretty much defines this movie, more so than did the first one's music for it (even though Elmer Bernstein's score gets much more praise). See if you can listen to the music in this film, just concentrate on it, and tell me you wouldn't feel the same about this film if it weren't for the music. The cinematography is full of vivid depictions of New York during its rainy daytimes, big-city night times, and everything in between.
Storywise, there are similarities to the 1st one, as everyone will tell you, but I don't think it's "exactly" like the 1st one. The story is totally different, but it does have similarities as far as the way the story is told. I don't get people that are so jaded they can't just sit back and watch a movie. I know there are some bad movies out there, some that did much better at the box office than this (like THE RING, and THE GRUDGE), but this is not a BAD film. It just isn't as much of a surprise as the first one, but sequels aren't meant to be original and refreshing and full of awe...they're supposed to be "more of the same" so to speak; as in, you know what you're getting going in, except...you don't...well, anyway...I guess that's it for my review. Peace~Jonathan
"I honestly prefer 2 to the original" I'm going to go against the crowd here and say that Ghostbusters 2 is a superior film to the original, and here's why: While it is true that the original GB was an original surprise hit, beating out Indiana Jones, Gremlins, and other big movies in the summer of 84, Bill Murray was coming off of Stripes and was playing the same smarmy guy he always played in the early 80s. In GB 2, Murray is way more likable and he allows his great costars to have more fun moments, like the discovery of the river of slime, Rick Moranis gets to be the Ghostbusters' lawyer and "suits up" as an honorary Ghostbuster this time. Anne Potts, Harold Ramis, Dan Akroyd, and Ernie Hudson ALL have better material and seem more interesting this time around. I like the way both Ghostbuster films make use of New York locations. Ghosts and undead beings walking around New York is a fascinating sight that never gets old because the special effects are really top notch. This movie is just less cynical than the original. In fact I love that the overriding message of the film is that people sort of created the river of slime by being so cynical and that New Yorkers could pull together and change that outlook. That interesting theme gives this movie a heart that the original lacked I think. But all of that aside, I just think it is a funnier movie. In the courtroom when the Ghostbusters put on their proton packs and sing "Doe," Ray," "Egon," and the look Harold Ramis flashes Murry is priceless. Anyway this is probably the best movie ever inspired by Saturday Night Live cast-members, at least in my book. So give it another try.
"Good" This movie is not as good as the orignal but still isnt too bad. The thing I dont get is you can get both Ghostbusters 1 and 2 on dvd for $13. Why would you want to buy this seperate for the same price. I will admit the first Ghostbusters on the first dvd release had an amazing main menu.
"No where near as good as the first Ghostbusters" I don't understand! where did Ivan Rightman go wrong! Ghostbusters an awsome film it was good at the ending of the first! It didn't deserve a sequal easpeacially as dumb and boring one like this pppppppfffffffffff pethetic! And Slimer my favorite ghost looks nothing like he does in the first. Well you should see it anyway if you liked the first. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM!!! I guess. Also see this film Ghostbusters
"Very good sequel" Not as good as the first, but a must have for your collection.

What our customer's say!
" One of the best sequels ever", this film was more creppy than the original in so many elements: the slime was growing when people were p*ssed off. the scoleri brothers were scarier than slimer the song monologue when the ghostbusters were in the nuthouse Vigo the painting shows up more than Gozer in part one. Though there are punchlines that people might repeat such as the "sometimes s**t happens", it could've work better as a comedy like the original. Anyway, this is the only sequel i watch during my senior year because there were somethings that made me freaked out. I have the entire soundtrack and I get crazed on the sequel whenever I'm scared or in a jolly mode. This if the first movie you should see on Halloween then the original and so forth.
"THE PROTON PACK IS NOT A TOY.", I was just a little kid when this came out in the theater. I was too young to see the original in theaters, but by the time of the sequel (five years later) I, with millions of other kids, was a complete fanatic. I waited with bated breath for this thing to come out back in the summer of 1989... I watched my taped-off-TV copy of the original ten times a day in preperation... etc. I could never not like this second offering, but even at the age of six, I was somewhat confused at some of the elements in Ghostbusters 2. (I deep analyzed every detail then, even more than I'm about to do now..) Stylistically, the movie falls way short of the first. This is odd, because all the same people were involved, who made the first movie so unique. From director Ivan Reitman, all the way down to that guy who played the mayor. Even the concept for the second script had a great idea, that just seems somewhat mishandled in the production. This could have easily been on par with the original, but a few things make it lack. The music for instance is pretty cheesy. Theres this goopy generic piano stuff thats all over the place, like Reitman just picked up some rights for it on the cheap. The quirky score for the first is nowhere to be found. The first twenty minutes of the movie waste way too much time trying to show how all the characters went their own seperate ways after the battle with Gozer in the first. These sideplots date the movie (mention of the world ending on new years 1989...feh..)and are pretty much useless to the overall story. Also to many shots are taken at the fact that in 1989, Ghostbusters had become such a huge franchise for kids. Like the line "The proton pack is not a toy". I had a toy proton pack. It was cool. The scene where Ray and Winston sing for a bunch of kids was somewhat pointless, and since its right at the beginning of the movie, the whole vibe is cheapened right off the bat. Also, whats with Winston shaving the mustache? He was such a bad ass in the first movie, and he's pretty goofy in this outing. Did he just not dig the mustache anymore? maybe,, but I think that Ivan Reitman wanted him to resemble the cartoon version more. And maybe to be a little less tough looking. For the kids. Also, Annie Potts' Janine was made to look more like the cartoon version. Although, she must have taken some sexy pills, because she's way hotter this time around, and it works for her. The cartoon Janine was originally a cross between Annie Potts' original likeness and I think, Cyndi Lauper. Cartoon Janine was kinda trashy at first (japanese animation values) Around the third season, the cartoon changed her image completely, to the the big round glasses and the bright long red hair, making the cartoon Janine a lot more conservative looking. Annie Potts took this new cartoon likeness and floozed it up quite a bit. I crack up when she seduces Rick Moranis later in the film. Still, this is just another crack at the franchise itself, although one that worked well. Anyway, I guess it doesn't really matter now. I still think that there should be a third one. The first Ghostbusters may easily be my favorite movie of all time, but the second one is just a somewhat ok attempt to keep the ball going... even though it never went any further. The first installment is timeless and will be enjoyed for generations to come, but this one may not live on past the memories of some us perpetually six year old fans from the summer of 1989. Bobby Brown On Our Own! What what!!!
"Not as original as the first, but that would be hard to do.", However, they did get the same cast which is 1/2 the battle as far as a sequel goes. I think that terminator 3 suffered severely for lack of original cast. Too, bad because I really liked that storyline. Ghostbusters should have made a third movie, but not now because it's too late, Unless it's a really good script.
"Cartoon", Ghostbusters II is both an insult to the original and to the audience sitting through it. The film has none of the charm that made the original work and the effects are ATROCIOUS. The music is absolutely lousy and the plot makes the original look like The Merchant of Venice. First off, the characters are less serious in their intentions and more drawn from a comic strip. The success of the original and the cartoons series must have had a push in this. Rick Moranis is wasted from being a real person in the original (that might be a stretching description) to a poor sap delivering some of the worst one-liners in history. Harold Ramis is a parody of himself in the original, remember how humorless he was? Even Sigourney Weaver doesn't carry any sort of context with her character this time around. A movie like this must mix the elements of comedy and horror effectively, Ghostbusters II doesn't. It tries too hard to be funny without letting situations build themselves up as in the first. Even Venkman's delivery is totally off. Overall, a total waste. Just watch Ghostbusters again and don't even both with this one. The message in particular is both too pacifist like that year's The Abyss (a far superior film) and too simple for any audience outside of fourth grade.
"Underrated follow-up!", Five years after the events of the amazing four battling the forces of Gozar, The foursome Peter (Bill Murray), Ray (Dan Ackroyd), Egon (Harold Ramis) and Winston (Ernie Hudson) are out of business, doing kids parties and other jobs on their hands. Dana Barron (Sigourney Weaver) has a child now and works at a museum now, but unfortunately a new painting has arrived featuring legendary renissance warrior/sorcerer Viggo (Wilhem Von Hemburg) and it's cursed especially a river of slime underneath the city of New York that causes evil spirits. One day the four fellows are arrested for violating their restraining order as they must prove themselves in court that they are not frauds but when two evil spirits intterupt the trail, they now convience the judge that their restraining order to be off and back to business of being Ghostbusters. Reunited with Louis Tully (Rick Moranis) and Janine (Annie Potts), the incredible four must stop the forces of evil on New Year's eve before Vigo can possess Dana's child and take over the world.
Very entertaining and underrated sequel! Sure it doesn't have any of the sheer brilliance or excellence that made the first movie a classic but this is still an exciting sequel with good laughs. The creature effects and special effects are done by Industrial Light and Magic, i think they are well done effects including on the Scareli Brothers sequence in the court. The acting is good and the storyline isn't too bad, the film offers a couple of appearences by Cheech Marin and Ben Stein and this is worth another look.
This DVD offers great picture and sound but a lack of extras as the only extras is filmographies of crew and stars and trailers to this and other Sony releases. "Ghostbusters 3" is coming soon for real, i can't hardly wait.

"Not bad,not the best either.3 1/2 stars", Of course not as great as the first but not bad.There is some great scenes in this movie.I give Ghostbusters 1 five stars and the 2nd 3 and a 1/2 stars.I think it could've been better in some ways.But what sequels live up to the first ones.98 percent of them don't.Anyway if you like the first ghostbusters you will like this one to.
"Distinguished yet Forgotten Valor", If the global conquest of earth by the forces of Evil hung in the balance and could be tipped in the favor for the good of all mankind by these three sorry looking men of distinguished yet long forgotten valor - let's just say that I hope you know some really good prayers. It could end up being a hot time in the old town tonight.
"A Mildly Entertaining Sequel", The Ghostbusters get blaimed for what happened to the city at the end of the first one. They're called freuds and aren't allowed to hunt ghosts no more. Their first client from the first one (Sigourney Weaver) returns and reunites them when something odd is going on with her baby. Which leads them to check out the sewers and I'm not sure if it's actually explained why. I guess because the baby carage took a mind of it's own with the baby in it on that street or something. Anyway they get in big trouble when they accidently take out the electricity in the city.
The judge declares them guilty and gets ready to send them to jail until ghosts pop out of the red goo that Ray found in the sewers. The judge gives them permission to get rid of them which of course leads to them being allowed to be Ghostbusters again. In mildly entertaining scenes it shows them catching ghosts again. They soon realize that the painting at Weaver's museum job might be the big problem basically...just because Peter (Bill Murray) thinks it looks evil. Of course it is evil with the ghost inside wanting the weird foreighn guy that has a crush on Weaver to get her baby for him. He wants to possess the baby and live a full life again. So it's up to the Ghost Busters to save the day and their big plan to get in the museam "that he seals off with Weaver and the baby inside" and save the day is by using the red goo....to make the Statue of Liberty alive....
Most of the ideas in this film are kinda lame and not that funny. While Bill Murray doesn't get nearly as good of lines as he had in the first film. Still he is likeable and the guys do have chemestry still. The script is just not worthy sequel material when the first film to me was a comedy masterpiece. It was just great fun too and full of originality. This film basically seems like all the originality was used in the first film. Heck I watched the cartoon series and that even had more clever ideas than the second film did. They could've even learned a thing or two from the cartoon series. I admit although the plot is super thin in this film, I don't hate the movie though. It's watchable but pretty disapointing next to the first movie. It's just not what it could've been.
""What are we supposed to do, stick our heads in the toilet?"", Imagine for a moment that in 1944 MGM decided to make a sequel to "The Wizard of Oz". They managed to reunite the entire original cast: Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Frank Morgan and Billie Burke. The production values were as high as in the first film, and Victor Fleming once again provided capable direction. There was only one problem: the script was deeply flawed and far inferior to that of the previous film.
For those of us who remember the original "Ghostbusters" as an all-time classic from our childhoods, "Ghostbusters 2" is the precise equivalent of that hypothetical "Oz" sequel. For an hour and forty minutes we get to see the characters from one of our favorite movies, played by the same actors, in another movie. The only problem is that it isn't a *good* movie. "Ghostbusters 2" is painfully derivative of its predecessor; it's far less well structured; and Randy Edelman's score can't hold a candle to Elmer Bernstein's for the first film.
As a child I avoided seeing "Ghostbusters 2". I knew it would probably be painful to watch, given my love of the first film, and I was right. As an adult I can now derive some degree of enjoyment from the film. I love the characters, and I love seeing them again. But if you ever find a DVD of "The Wizard of Oz 2" that has dropped in from a parallel dimension... you know who not to call.
"Distinguished yet Forgotten Valor", If the global conquest of earth by the forces of Evil hung in the balance and could be tipped in the favor for the good of all mankind by these three sorry looking men of distinguished yet long forgotten valor - let's just say that I hope you know some really good prayers. It could end up being a hot time in the old town tonight.
