Frankly, Murray, Sigourney Weaver and even Aykroyd deserve much better.

Reviews for Ghostbusters 2
Top CriticAlmost as sharp as the first film and only suffering slightly from the inevitable repetitions.
05/30/07
Top CriticThe film is largely an excuse for a cast get-together, with the Ghostbusters, under judicial restraining order after the havoc wreaked in part one, suffering lives of semi-obscurity.
06/24/06
Top CriticPlenty of agreeable nonsense to develop within the larger Ghostbusters universe. It's a sincerely amusing movie, warmly energized to give fans a steamy second helping of the good stuff.
08/26/09
Effectively slimed everyone's fond memories of the original.
04/07/09
A little of a rehash but still good.
03/02/08
There's very little energy in the follow-through, and this time Murray's listlessness seems more anemic than comic.
05/30/07
A terrible disappointment, a shockingly self-satisfied and unforgivably slapdash sequel.
05/30/07
Top CriticKids will find the oozing slime and ghastly, ghostly apparitions to their liking and adults will enjoy the preposterously clever dialog.
05/30/07
Top CriticFeels like a blueprint concocted by the bean-counters at Columbia Pictures.

Bottom line: with Murray on fire and enough clever dialogue to rival its predecessor, Ghostbusters II is good enough to put post-milennial comedy to shame.
08/05/05
No one has ever accused Ghostbusters II of being a great film, or even a good one, for that matter
