Ghostbusters 2

Sequels are supposed to be worse than the originals. It’s like an unwritten rule. Is GHOSTBUSTERS 2 better than GHOSTBUSTERS? Is this rule actually broken here?... Well, no. The original is still better, but the sequel is actually a really good film too. An evil spirit lord from the 15th century has descended upon New York City and it is up to the Ghostbusters to save the day again. That’s the basic jist of the story.

I love how this film starts out. We see the once-loved Ghostbusters working kids birthdays to make some extra scratch. All the original cast is back, which is awesome. And sure enough when Sigourney Weaver starts to attract the ghoulies in again the Ghostbusters come back into her life. In this film there is even another rehashed relationship between Bill Murray and Sigourney. And boy do I love Bill Murray in this role. It’s like CADDYSHACK meets GROUNDHOG DAY meets everything I love about Bill’s demeanor in his films.

The story line is sufficient, but the best parts of this film are the comedic elements that each Ghostbuster brings. There are countless lines from this film that you’ll repeat forever. My favorite parts are the underground railroad scene, the Vigo photo shoot, and the nighttime construction scenes where Bill fends off the cops.
