Because aside from the effects, it's inferior to the first one
The pink slime was cool, butthole. DON'T TALK SHIT ABOUT MY FAVORITE MOVIES.
It's not very good. Not terrible, but nothing about it is particularly moving or entertaining.
It's a big step down from the original while also not being a memorable trainwreck like the 2016 remake.
Because Vego and his little butt-boy sucked.
WRONG. Janosz was great.
>Everything you are doing is bad. I want you to know this.
It has some good ideas and scenes. I've enjoyed it a lot, but it doesn't quite capture the magic or tone of the first film. The script just isn't as good.
OG Ghostbusters fans always despides GB 2 becasuse was truly a cheap script...BUT we recognize them as GB fans.
There was even a videogame in 2009 that served as "3rd chapter" but seriously? We're in fantasyland territory and some GB2 fans reversed to "You Ghostbusters 1 only fans were right all along". Still the gamers that enjoyed it and then watched the movies...we care about them like a father to his son (times are changin')
Don't ask me to comment the shitshow that happened in the '01s to this franchise, i suppose you're a decent man with decent standards.

I've grown up with both and always loved both, but the first more-so. Like I said, it just has a better script which makes for a better film. GB2's production was pretty troubled.
First one was so much solid compared to GB2 it was truly embarrassing (and i even mean from a technical standpoint)...obviously everything happened to this franchise in the '01s (Feminazi GB, Stranger Things GB) was beyond insulting so probably we should simply pretend it never happened.
>First one was so much solid compared to GB2 it was truly embarrassing
I was born in 86 so I grew up with both films as a child basically. I did see GB2 in the theaters on release, and I vaguely remember it because I freaked out when Ray was attacked by the river of slime and had to be taken out of the theater.
Thinking about it, I think some of it is editing. GB1 has that ethereal and mysterious film score and the way some scenes are shot is just more interesting and cinematic. Such as, when they leave the bank after mortgaging Ray's property, the way Venkman proposes going into business for themselves, or the scene of Peter spinning in place in the courtyard with the performers after talking to Dana.
All these things add up and GB2 has no equivalent so all together it feels wrong. Despite some great moments and ideas. I think the haunted painting is a great concept, I think Vigo is an intimidating villain, Ray's possession is scary, the river of slime is great, the ghost train and spiked heads are great, the court room ghosts are a neat idea, and the dark room fire is terrifying.
GB2 has many great elements but it's baked wrong and missing some other essential elements.
I'm 80 born but keep in mind here in Europe GB arrived like in 1989...we previous had the goofy cartoons (we loved it) but in that time you are growing from kid to yong adult...GB arrived in a perfect time. GB2 was perceived way more goofy and comical with all the situations (unemployment stuff, beyond grow adult problems, the kids, parents affairs) when it aired 3-4 years after and we were still all into "i want to be a scientist!" mood.
As a kid I loved 2, but watching it as an adult, I realize why people don't like it. Not only does it retread the first film, but the third act is very clearly the result of reshoots. It all just meanders in search of a finish line. Also, it's not funny. Which is fine, because I enjoy it more as a supernatural adventure story. The Vigo mythos is still cool, but that third act undermines a lot of it.
>Also, it's not funny.
I always laugh at 'HE-MAN!'.
you will never admit it but that female reboot was easily better than this. It was okay 6/10 while this is 3/10 barely watchable crap
Weak ass trolling. GB2 is a solid film it just fails in comparison to GB1, which is a masterpiece and all time classic. Ghostbusters 2 gets way more hate than it deserves. It IS underrated.
The 2016 movie is just awful. I have watched it once and never again.
I won't admit it because it's not true. Ghostbusters 2 has a lot of problems and is ultimately lackluster, but it has plenty of qualities, as oppossed to none.
This is one of those movies I watched a dozen times on HBO as a tasteless kid and I haven't seen in 25 years
The Bobby Brown track is a banger.
I don't understand the criticism today. GBII absolutely shits all over every blockbuster made in the last 15 years. It's fun, has a great cast and amazing practical special effects. Just because it's not as good as the 11/10 original doesn't mean that it's trash.
Most people are very simple minded.
This. When people shit on GB2, I do not get it. Maybe it's because I was a kid then and am incapable of removing my nostalgia goggles, but I consider 1 and 2 to be two parts of a complete work. 1 is definitely better, but what else do they have to compete with in "comedy blockbusters"?
It was a different movie from the first. That's it. What started off as a comedic satire was given self-awareness and made a reality in it's own world. Real monsters exist and real innocence can die as shown in Vigo and Oscar.
Undeniably it's easy to see why fans of comedy and the first movie dislike it. It's too serious. And often that tone is why some people like it more. Some people like the depth of lore and the stakes in the world.
It's really hard to say which would have been better for the series to stick with. Likely if GB2 was like the first it would have been less funny and memorable, but if GB1 was like the second would it even be remembered?
2016 was vastly inferior movie that I fear GB2 in the spirit of 1 would of been. And Afterlife is just a retread that achieves nothing to set the course.
'cause it sucks
Even poltergeist is a better ghost movie than GBII
We did earlier. This is the third Ghostbusters-related thread (at least) this evening. Why is Cinemaphile like this?
it's more memorable than the first one is for me
in terms of what it introduces to the series and expanding the potential
it definitely does not have any memorable lines, that's the one thing the first movie absolutely has over it
>in terms of what it introduces to the series and expanding the potential
the mating call of the midwit
You don't know what you're talking about, homosexual. I literally pretty much just said that pink slime is cool but you're functionally illiterate so you wouldn't be able to understand that.
>I literally pretty much just basically practically almost said
literally perchance
Gets mentioned fairly often here.
