Indeed, it’s only a shame that the gang get back together so quickly that we don’t get much more of this sort of thing. There’s almost as much in the way of brilliant Peter Venkman/ Bill Murray material in the sequel as in the first film – with much of it feeling like Murray’s playing it off the cuff – and nowhere is this more in evidence than in his low-rent TV show, World Of The Psychic. These early scenes also offer an immediate indication that one of the most common criticisms aimed at the film – that it simply isn’t very funny – is way off the mark. It also, for a variety of reasons, manages to strike out on its own as being something a bit different.

While it doesn’t live up to a peerless original – although there are actually plenty of folk who would happily admit to having enjoyed it more – that doesn’t mean there isn’t a huge amount to like about it. Sequels to a genre classic not being as good – and hence as beloved – as the original is of course not exactly uncommon but whereas the likes of Back To The Future Part II and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom tend to be discussed in terms of “Well, it’s not as good as the first one, but it’s still a damned good film,” Ghostbusters IIseems to be widely thought of as just a bad film in its own right. The fact that Ghostbusters II isn’t being celebrated in anything like as extensive or affectionate a fashion as its predecessor is reflective of the poor reputation it has among fans of the first film, and indeed the wider film-going public at large. Amid all the fuss over the rebooted franchise, as well as the anticipation for the next movie, it’s quite easy to overlook Ghostbusters II. ![]() In many circles, there has been plenty of talk surrounding the Ghostbustersfranchise in recent years. ![]()
