Ghostbusters 2

After watching Transformers and giving the girls a bath, both girls were wired! I figured that we could try to mix in on more movie, perhaps helping putting both girls to sleep. We picked out Ghostbusters 2 from my movie case and began watching it.

Was this movie as good as the first one, not even close. But lets face it, most sequels pale in comparison to the originals. Having said that, I did like Ghostbusters 2! I liked how Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis "put the band back together" (stole that from a Blues Brothers reference) and put together a good film. I loved how it started five years after the first one and the Ghostbuster were disbanded due to the actions from the first one. It gave the movie something to look forward to. After they get back together and start capturing ghost again, the movie starts to follow the same formula that the first one had. Everything is going fine with the Ghostbusters, and then they get arrested. Then after the city almost crumbles, the mayor releases the Ghostbusters out to stop the madness. Rick Moranis adds some comic relief, a little more than he did in the first one.

All in all, Ghostbusters 2 is a nice little sequel! I just hope that Ghostbusters 3 is worth it!
