When I was younger, I really loved this movie. I didn’t like it more than the first one on my top ten fav movies, but it was still way up there. However, after viewing it several times between now and then, my opinion has greatly changed. The movie has weak points that make it inferior to the first movies in my opinion. That being said, I still like it. I can still appreciate the guys making a sequel. I’m gonna go with “like”. I liked the movie.
Rick Moranis in a ghostbusters uniform…Can’t get any better than that.
I always thought it was funny that he was in Egon’s uniform.
7 things that exploted in my brain with a “WTF” shout:
1-Slimmer is horrible. Looked it was made out of plastic!
2-Statue of liberty walking! How the heck she managed to jump from where she is standing , to the ground and then to the floor… i remember people in the theather went “Cmoooon!!!”
3-The painting at the end!!! And none of them seems to be astonished by it!!! And they are all pumped up!
4- You don´t see them busting ghosts till 20 minutes later in the court scene!!! And they´re not even wearing an uniform!!! (still that scene is amazing)
5-Vigo looked like Sammy Hagar to me… every time he spoked, i could hear him singing "We´ll get higher.. and higher … " So he wasn´t really spooky…
6-The finall confrontation is boring… and poorly written… it´s like “Danny, whe have to deliver the script tomorrow, did you finish it???” “AWWWW! no! ok, i´ll write this 3 last pages”! I´ts all in interiors, nothing in the "whrath of god " kind of mood.
7-Looks like their budget wasn´t big like in the first movie…
BUt back then i enjoyed the movie .
hell yea…i remember doing that…id sit and watch the 1st movie…and rotate GB toys…once i got 5 to 10 more ghosts under my belt in the firehouse…it was time to watch the movie again…growing up SUCKS!!!
i liked the movie…as a sequel it was great…but compared to the first it was lacking…the courtroom scene was the best…i wish that Mr Pecker…excuse me Peck was ther to see it
i think that that scene should have been in the first one…like right after he comes in with the court order…
and yes i completely agree…growing up sucks…tuesday i was at my grandmothers and was bored outta my mind, (i forgot to bring ghostbusters n the blueprints to watch n work on my pack 
), and i thought if i was under the age of ten i could spend hours in that house without any toys and never once be bored…growing up is horrible…
loved it. thought it could be better…but loved. what would u change about it?
I loved this movie when it came out as i was around 11 years old & again had a big influence on me as GB1 did!
I just love the overall feel good mood of the movie & all the actors did a great job at bringing the story & characters alive, i watched it again recently & i think its on the same equal terms as the first movie in my eyes!!
When i first saw it & even now what i love is the “freshness” of GB2, what i mean by that is the new looking uniforms with a cool looking yellow box on the belt (always wanted one), the excellent Ecto-1 & this time with a new name & great colourful lights on the roof, with added sign boards (i so wish this Ecto model was released along with the die-cast Ecto-1 from a handful of years ago), i loved the montage during the middle of the movie after the courtroom battle, the montage was as great as the first movie & i love the version of GB by RUN DMC
These are what makes GB2 special to me, oh & the coutroom battle has to be my favourite scene!!
The courtroom battle ROCKS!!!
i, too, love the movie. I even think the story was better with the mood slime and all.. awesome
only downpoint is the rushed ending… everything else is great..
The movie works well on its own.. but not as a sequel.. considering Real Ghostbusters happened.
Ah ha! Since you asked;
That’s interesting to say the least.
Well done!
Cool! Would you take him out of the montage as well? I mean without the Louis/Slimer battle, his one other scene as the bus driver is basically useless without any of the stuff that would have set it up properly.
“Boy it smells like somebody took a big…” :vinzclortho:
Nah, he’s fine in the montage - besides being very hard to pull out of the montage (what with the music to work around), it works fine as a little wink / throw away joke in the montage. Putting him back in as the bus driver, one time too many.
Nice edit there, my friend. Good stuff.
Thanks! Since I first cut it, months back, I think I might try harder to move from “five years later” to them leaving the party, THEN the crack and ooze. But, it would take forever to re-render, so that will have to wait until later.
I think that would be a smoother transition for sure. What software are you using to do the editing?
Vegas Video - I could never come to grips with Premiere and I’m not on a Mac, but I was using Sound Forge for years. So, when the same company released a video tool (that happens to be cross linked to the sound editor) I gave it a try and I like it. Not a massively powerful tool compared to some, but more than enough for the things I like to do.
