Ghostbusters 2 (DVD)

Ghostbusters I was released in 1984 to great success it has become a cult classic since then and I'm sure everyone is aware of the franchise. It is no-longer possible to innocently say 'Who you gonna call?' without someone instantly shouting 'GHOSTBUSTERS!' Ghostbusters II was an equally succesful sequel released 5 years later with the same cast. It is 5 years on in the story and the Ghostbusters are now defunct. The destruction wrought at the ...
...the new craze has left Ghostbusters behind. Egon (Harold Ramis) has gone back to being a simple scientist and the cocky and hilarious Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) hosts his own unsuccesful TV show. However, all changes as Dana Barret (Sigourney Weavet) is back on the scene as the character's main damsel in distress. Her love affair with Peter is revealed tohave failed in the past 5 years and she has had an unsuccesful marriage since then which has ...

Review of Ghostbusters 2 (DVD)

I suppose that after watching Ghostbusters is was inevitable that Ghostbusters 2 was going to come next. I had no expectations about this film before seeing it so was not sure what to expect. This sequel is set 5 years after the first and we meet the Ghostbusters who have hit hard times. Their business is going down the pan and they are being sued for all the damage they have caused by catching these ghosts. Some of the gang are making some money ...
...she goes to see the Ghostbusters to try and find out what or who took the pram. Dana is a bit wary of seeing the team again as she did have a brief relationship with Peter but that ended and she went on to get married and have a baby. Dana is now working at the museum where a massive paining of an old warrior has been bought up from the basement for cleaning. We soon find that this painting is not normal and the ghost inside it wants Dana’s baby ...

Review of Ghostbusters 2 (DVD)

...a fantastic first movie…. Ghostbusters 2 is just as good, if not better, than its predecessor.. Full of action and comedy… Venkman, Stantz, Zeddermore and Spengler have the same characteristic as they did in the first movie… Venkmen the 'wanna-be stud with a big ego… Stantz the calm thinker with a no nonsense approach…Spengler, the strange scientist whose passion for his job is his life…. And finally there's Zeddermore, the once non-believer who ...
...from www.amazon.co.uk for between £3.00 and £10.00 or from www.play.com for less than £4.00 You can get both Ghostbusters 1 & 2 for £ 9.00 from play.com or £ less than a fiver from amazon.co.uk…( the prices on these sites may vary and are totally confusing at times????) ...

...out five years later) is Ghostbusters 2. When this film was released in 1989 it quickly became the biggest 3 day opening weekend in history. Set five years after the first film, the Ghostbusters are now running very low on business and are close to bankruptcy. That combined with the fact that they are being sued by the city means that its time to close up shop and go their separate ways. Peter Venkman (Bill Murray) decides to become a chat show host, ...
...and Raymond Stantz (Dan Ayroyd) and Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) are now shockingly bad kids entertainers. Sigourney Weaver also returns as Dana Barrett but she has now got a young son, Oscar, and works at the local museum. Due to her extremely unfortunate luck, she is once again chosen to be the centre of all evil in the city. This time however, it all starts from a painting that her boss, Dr. Janosz Poha (Peter MacNicol), is restoring. The ...

...the cast, from the 4 Ghostbusters (Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis & Ernie Hudson), but you also appreciate Sigourney Weaver as Dana Barrett, Annie Potts as Janine Melnitz, and of course the nerdy underdog that is Louis Tully, played by Rick Moranis. Why i say the storyline is somewhat similar, is because once again the main villain is portrayed as some immortal being trapped, and waiting to be summoned, and then he/she/it possesses a single ...
...5 years later, where the Ghostbusters have been taken out of business, after being sued for property damage after their final battle in the previous "Ghostbusters" film against Gozer. Ray and Winston now perform as children's performers, with some not very good results, while Ray also owns an Occult bookstore in New York. Egon Spengler works in a lab, investigating experiments that analyse human emotion. They reunite with Dana, Peter Venkman's (Bill ...

...different ghost movie wasn't it. Ghostbusters 2 is, surprisingly, the sequel to the smash hit Ghostbusters. Here we have the same crew back for to save a whole new generation from manifestation infestation...in the station...for your information...ahem. Some years after the original ghost infestation, the ghostbuststers team has been disbanded, banned from continuing in the ungrateful city after the mess caused in the first encounter. Dr Venkman ...
...children's entertainers and Ramis is back in research. However, when it becomes clear that a river of slime is growing beneath the streets of New York, fuelled by people's anger and hatred(plenty of fuel in the big city and that an evil villain is trying to sacrifice Barrett's baby to open up the spirit world (again) the team spring back into action. Panned by some critics as being nowhere near as good as the original movie I personally think that ...

Review of Ghostbusters 2 (DVD)

...forget how BIG the whole GHOSTBUSTERS thing was back in the mid-1980s. The original film had been released in 1984 and at one point was the biggest-grossing comedy of all time. The Internet Movie Database currently lists it as the 143rd top grossing movie ever worldwide, which is quite a feat 21 years after its release. It was of course inevitable that a sequel would come along, but what is surprising is how long it took to arrive. It was 1989 before ...
...the studio who bankrolled both GHOSTBUSTERS movies. What I find amazing is that despite the intervening years and the popularity of the stars, all the major players returned for the sequel. With the likes of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd (who also had a hand in writing both movies), Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, and the often forgotten 4th 'Buster, Ernie Hudson, all coming back for more, in addition to the original director Ivan Reitman, ...

Review of Ghostbusters 2 (DVD)

Ghostbusters 2 is set five years after the original Ghostbusters film. Even though the guys saved the city in the first movie, it seems that they were sued by every government agency in the city due to the mass destruction they caused in the process. With their reputation in tatters, their business bankrupt and supernatural activity having dried up, the guys are forced into other lines of work: Peter Venkman (Bill Murray - Lost in Translation, Groundhog ...
...The Chemistry between the Ghostbusters is fantastic. The Dialogue is outstanding and very funny. An action packed movie that again has outstanding special effects and will entertain the whole family. Another Classic! The soundtrack is great too, featuring fantastic tracks from various artists including Bobby Brown and Run DMC. Memorable Quotes: Peter Venkman - Hi, Egon. How\'s school? I bet those science chicks really dig that large cranium of ...

...as good as the first Ghostbusters if not better and it very entertaining. The 4 guys are back and ghosthunting again, but this time they have to defeat a large marshmellow man. The actors are good and the sound effects improved from the last one. The story line was pretty good and all my family enjoyed the film. Its suitable for all ages, but some of the ghosts may scare little children. I recommend you watch it, its not as boring as it seems. ...

...success. The 4 Ghostbusters have to battle against Vigo an ancient evil tyrant who aims to come back to life using a stolen baby as his body. There are some classic moment in the movie and some great scenes like where they bring the Statue of Liberty to life. But all in all this film is really a waste of time and they should have left it at the single movie and not spoilt the Ghostbusters phenomenon. ...
