Here is the bottom line on ghostbusters 2, It doesnt matter that the story is sub-par. It doesnt matter that the villain is totally lame. These characters are practically part of the family to anyone who was coherent in the mid... Full review

This film is Ghostbusters 1 with more effects. A great film for a die hard fan, and a fun film for families, but as a casual movie watcher, you can take it or leave it. Personally it's in my top ten,... Full review

I could lie and say I think "Ghostbusters II" is an inferior sequel to the original 1984 "Ghostbusters," but "Ghostbusters II" is an entertaining film in its own right. Nothing can come close to the gleaming perfection of the first... Full review

Ghostbusters II has its funny moments here and there, but overall it seems to lack the magic of the first movie. It seems to be trying twice as hard, yet it succeeds only half as well. The first movie had... Full review

I expected so much from this film, and while it was a great reunion, the story was disappointing. It's my fourth favorite movie of all time, I saw it twice in the theater in June 1989. I bought merchandise until I... Full review
Critics Reviews
ReelTalk
Ghostbusters II suffers from a dull script (by Aykroyd and Ramis), stiff dialogue, uneven performances, andĀ Ivan Reitman's uninspired direction.
Peter (Bill Murray) believes he has reached an all-time low as the host of a series where fraudulent guests insist they know when the world will end.

There's so many details of interest in the production of this film, such as how they produce the proton beam effects, that the commentators never simply talk about what's on screen-they fill the track with a non-stop, hilarious and entertaining couple of hours of talk about a great film. ... Full Review
filmcritic.com
No one has ever accused Ghostbusters II of being a great film, or even a good one, for that matter.
Still, there are some good one-liners, improved special effects, and enhanced roles for supporting players Annie Potts and Rick Moranis, enough so that you don't feel like you completely wasted your time when you ended up watching the 113th playing this month on Showtime.

commonsensemedia.org
The story, partially written by two of its characters played by Dan Akroyd and Harold Ramis, relies on the comeback of the once-famous Ghostbusters, who are long-forgotten and bankrupt when the film begins.
However outdated the special effects might seem in today's light, the movie works as a not-so-scary comedic action film.

Chicago Sun-Times
Ghostbusters " has a lot of neat effects, some of them mind-boggling, others just quick little throwaways, as when a transparent green-slime monster gobbles up a mouthful of hot dogs.
They're funny, but they're not afraid to reveal that they're also quick-witted and intelligent; their dialogue puts nice little spins on American clichs, and it uses understatement, irony, in-jokes, vast cynicism, and cheerful goofiness.
