MOVIE REVIEW: GHOSTBUSTERS II
























While this movie wasn't nearly as good as the first one, it's still a really great movie. I grew up watching this movie more than i actually watched the first one. We had a Tv channel that always used to have re-runs of Ghostbusters II. I also used to barrow this from the video store a lot because the damn video store didn't have the first one, what a crappy video store you ask me. A great movie that get's a lot of negatives. It's like the first movie all over again only with a different story. I wish they kinda gave this movie a better story, or at least a deeper story. Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis never wanted to make a sequel but after the success of The Real ghostbusters and the pressure from Columbia Pictures, they decided to do it. 


After being initially hailed as heroes for saving New York City from Gozer five years earlier, the Ghostbusters were sued by numerous city and state agencies for the property damage. A judge issued a restraining order barring them from investigating the supernatural, forcing them out of business. Ray Stantz owns an occult bookstore and co-operates with Winston Zeddemore as unpopular children's entertainers, wearing their old Ghostbuster uniforms; Egon Spengler works in a laboratory conducting experiments into human emotion; Peter Venkamn hosts a little-watched pseudo-psychic television show named "World of the Psychic"; and Dana Barrett, having broken up with Peter years earlier, and now divorced from a subsequent marriage, works at the Manhattan Museum of Art restoring paintings and raising her infant son Oscar at a new apartment. After an incident in which Oscar's baby carriage is controlled by an unseen supernatural force and drawn to a busy junction on First Avenue, Dana turns to the Ghostbusters for help. New years eve is approaching and New York is once more in danger by Vigo The Carpathian, a tyrant who wants to be born again.
