Ghostbusters II unexpectedly manages a mix of loud laughs with suspense. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 12, 2022

Murray's character sits firmly at the center of the film, and makes it part of a series, rather than just another sequel.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 11, 2022

In general, it has the same look and feel, but the energy and enthusiasm have waned.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 6, 2020

Murray's in his prime here as one of four fearless slime fighters in a sequel that is just about as funny and entertaining as the original.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 20, 2017

A rather underwhelming sequel...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 19, 2016

The sequel is, on the whole, a fairly mechanical spook show, filled with grinning ghosts that are definitely ghoulish but hardly menacing.

| Jun 15, 2015

An almost uniformly substandard follow-up that, since the original film remains so beloved by so many people, still gets to be disappointing even two decades and change later.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 30, 2011

Plenty 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.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 26, 2009

Effectively slimed everyone's fond memories of the original.

| Apr 7, 2009

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

| May 6, 2008

Almost as sharp as the first film and only suffering slightly from the inevitable repetitions.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 30, 2007

There's very little energy in the follow-through, and this time Murray's listlessness seems more anemic than comic.

| May 30, 2007

A terrible disappointment, a shockingly self-satisfied and unforgivably slapdash sequel.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 30, 2007

Kids will find the oozing slime and ghastly, ghostly apparitions to their liking and adults will enjoy the preposterously clever dialog.

| May 30, 2007

The 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.

| Jun 24, 2006

Feels like a blueprint concocted by the bean-counters at Columbia Pictures.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 3, 2006

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2005

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 5, 2005

No one has ever accused Ghostbusters II of being a great film, or even a good one, for that matter
