Review
Our Score
by
John Ferguson
Having reassembled virtually the entire team behind the first blockbuster for this sequel, director Ivan Reitman was not prepared to mess with a successful formula. This time the self-styled ghost busters - Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson - are called back into service when evil emanating from a painting Sigourney Weaver's boss Peter MacNicol has been restoring awakens spirits around New York. The effects are bigger and more spectacular, Murray once again shines as the shyster scientist and there is an expanded role for Rick Moranis. But Ramis and Aykroyd's script fails to sparkle and there's very little that's new to show for all the big-budget endeavour.
Summary
The eccentric spectre-hunters reunite to save New York from a massive river of slime generated by the citizens' negativity and nasty thoughts. Meanwhile, the spirit of a 16th-century tyrant tries to return to the land of the living by possessing the body of a toddler. Sequel to the supernatural comedy, starring Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis and Ernie Hudson.
