    I'm suprised no one made a reference to Zombieland towards the OP. He finally "learned, who you are gonna call"

    I saw Ghostbusters 2 as a kid and liked it. Saw it recently on TV and still liked it. It's not as good as Ghostbusters 1 but it is far from being bad.

    GB2 is a very fun movie. But the entire setup relies on the entire population of NYC forgetting that a giant marshmallow monster nearly destroyed the city, cost hundreds of thousands in damages, and likely millions in cleanup costs.

    Nah, they didn't forget. There's even a reference in GB2 to the Ghostbusters getting sued by just about everyone after the first movie. Everyone just grabbed a share of blame cash from the 'Busters through the courts and moved on with their lives. Just like the real world. :p 
    This is really my only problem with it. It has so many of the same beats as the first film. But it's still a great watch. It's like the first two Evil Dead movies are pretty much the same thing, but both are awesome.

    I think the only weakness with gb2 was that it tried to do too much. Besides the main plotline with vigo u had venkmans daddy issue, moranis love interest, which left less time to focus on the team dynamic so in a way it was kinda diluted. Felt like a bunch of stuff patched together even if there were a lot of gags.

    Do...re...egon!

    I love harolds smile in that. No homo.

    These bunch of movie have a special place in my heart in that it was around this time i was old enough to go movies on my own: bttf, gremlins, gb, t2, buncha van damme crap. Good times.

    Count me in with people who like GB2.

    Not without it's issues, but the constant one liners more than make up for it.

    I never have and never will understand GB2 hatred. Sure the first one is better but it still is a decent flick and I could name 5 sequels that were worse than GB2(Batman and Robin,Spiderman 3, Shrek 3,Pirates of The Carribean 3,and Godfather 3)

    Watch it, you will laugh and you will laugh more. Personally I love the court room scene.

    "Ray...when someone asks "Are you a god" YOU.SAY.YES!"

    Best line in the whole movie for me.
