Appreciate me yet?
>>69945851
>nigger actor not mentioned on the poster
Appreciated
I never disliked it, I just thought it was bit underwhelming after the first one. First movie had this cool interdimensional thing going on with Lovecraft vibes, but the second movie felt like it was building up for something big and it just wasn't as epic.
Just look at this picture, can't top this with some stupid painting and slime.
Ghostbusters 2 felt more like setup for Ghostbusters 3, or a synopsis for the cartoon show episode.
>>69945851
Yes
I liked Ghostbusters 2, but not as much as the first one. The new movie will probably be terrible. It sucks that you can't say anything about it without be called sexist.
>>69946085
Everything was cool with me except the nice slime/evil slime shit
That was just pants-on-head-retarded
Also, yeah, the final boss could have been much better, I mean in the first one they fought a mesopotamian FUCKING god
>>69946011
His name's the first in the bottom scroll after the movie title though.
>>69945851
Why did they hate Winston so much? He was great in the movie
>>69945851
So was Vigo responsible for "placing" slime in the abandoned subway lines below New York City?
>>69946502
NO!
didnt really like ghostbusters much
maybe my memories are poisoned by ghostbusters 2 tho
i feel like im struggling to remember much of the first one besides crossing the streams and the staypuff marshmallow man
>>69946085
>or a synopsis for the cartoon show episode.
That's what a lot of people think, between Janine's new look, friendly slimer, and the ghostbusters not drinking or smoking it was heavily influenced by the cartoon. Makes you wonder who really wrote it.
>tfw no good behind the scenes documentary for Ghostbusters
>>69945851
Always did
>>69946564
yes
I never knew people hated this movie until I was on the internet one day. I always liked it as much as the original. But then again, I'm not a huge Ghostbusters fan.
>>69946011

>>69946011
Ernie Hudson ain't no "nigger" you honky.
GB2 did nothing wrong. In all honesty no matter WHAT kind of sequel we got it would have been judged harshly in comparison to the original.
>>69945851
I might be the only person who liked it better than the first. Not by a lot but still.
>>69950154

me on the left
>>69945851
No, and you never will.
I thought the idea of a possessed painting was cool. I just wished they played around more with the concepts
>>69946011
He shouldn't have even been in the movie. The character was only in it for the money and to serve as an audience proxy so the Ghostbusters could explain what's happening.
>>69950596
Yeah but the whole way they defeated him was pure shit
So, you spray him with happy slime and this simply sends him back into the painting, then the painting is replaced with a painting of the ghostbusters with the baby
Let that sink in.
Seriously, it feels like the writer was like fuck it I'm stopping right here
It's like an 11 year old wrote the ending
>>69950800
oh shit I forgot about the other painting, when I was a kid I loved it though
Whatever you think of the story, the cinematography was wonderful. Pure GB porn.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRh8qQyIngg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDi0IihxfBA
>>69951210
Even as a kid it felt a little anticlimactic for me.
After the whole ordeal with the Stay Puft man and all-powerful Gozer I was like, wow, is that it?
>>69945851
I never really understood why people hated this movie
>>69950800
Agreed, new poster here.
The "solution" was a severe cop out, and the whole "entire city is dancing and being positive" is so fucking cringey, it was like a misused dance skit
>>69951485
I don't hate it, but I was really underwhelmed after the first one was awesome
The ending, to me, was anticlimactic see >>69950800 even when I was a child
Also the whole thing with good slime/bad slime was really stupid. I feel the writers could have done much better.
To me the movie felt too much like they made a sequel because they were pushed to, as opposed to the first movie where it felt like they were there because they had genuine love for what they were doing.
It does, however, have some great moments like >>69951464 so I do like the movie, I'm just not as crazy for it as the first one
When I was a kid the walking statue of liberty, still does.
But yeah, gooing a painting was really not-intense.
GB2 had some legit scary moments (the subway, photos of Vigo where the fire breaks out,) but you have to wonder if GB should ever be legit scary in the first place.
>>69951485
>>69951638
(cont.)
Also, it's too much like the first one. I really don't see why they had to build up so much at the start, it's like having yet another origin story because they have disbanded and have to come back together. We had already went through this in the first movie
I would have loved if this movie got that out of the way and got down to action quicker now that they were established.
Also it's depressing that these guys saved the city, I was expecting them to still be heroes years later but no, they were once again forced to disband and were fighting legal battles. To be fair, that's probably how the city would handle the disaster of the first movie, but still it's not something you want to see happen when the hero does something incredibly awesome for the city and then they turn around and push them into the mud.
>>69951696
I think it should be a little scary, gives a sense that the ghosts are actually dangerous in some way.
I think what GB2 also had that's unappreciated is some of the same, good humor that the first one had. Obviously not as good as Ghostbusters, but I still find myself chuckling through Ghostbusters II
>>69951792
I think that was a big joke about New York that they literally saved the world and still got sued and shit on, also had to do with the cynicism / negativity thing
>>69951696
>but you have to wonder if GB should ever be legit scary in the first place.
Been a long time since I watched either but I feel that was a definite part of the recipe. The original film starts out in a "definitely creepy" way. Thing is they just override the actual fear factor with attitude of all sorts.
HE GONE DO IT
>>69945851
i really don't get the hate for this one. i've had fun with it. its not bad at all
I never understood the hate because I saw it so young.
It's pure nostalgia for me.
>>69950361
>Better late than never...
>>69948462
Same. Never knew it was panned. It didn't deserve to be - it was an excellent sequel, as far as the history of movie sequels is concerned.
>>69948462
I grew up being ashamed because even as a kid I knew everyone hated GB2. Even as a kid I knew it wasn't on par with the first but these people who screech about it being some kind of abomination against god and man just puzzle me.
>>69951638
>Also the whole thing with good slime/bad slime was really stupid.
What's wrong with that? It's slime that feeds off human energy, whether it be positive or negative. It's not inherently good or bad you mook.
>>69952772
>what's wrong with that
>the strongest final enemy of the movie is defeated by slime that gets happy or angry depending on how people feel
lol if you still don't see what's wrong with that
did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?
>>69950680
Ernie Hudson's character originally had a much bigger part to the first movie, with a complete backstory and everything. It was only after he arrived on set that he found out they drastically cut down his role, where he doesn't show up until halfway through the movie, only joins because he needs the money, and pretty much only delivers corny one-liners. I guess he really did need the money, though.
>>69953129
kek. Fuck off faggot.He wasn't defeated by the slime - he was defeated with the positive vibes/energy of the people of the city. He needed negative human energy to come into existence.
Come back to me when you've written something better.
>>69953402
>>69953402
>he was defeated with the positive vibes/energy of the people of the city.
Wow... when you put it that way, I mean that makes me want to agree with you...
No actually
That's somehow even more gay and stupid when you put it that way, thanks for proving my point further
What a sensitive little world-ending supernatural supervillain, defeated by happy thoughts lol
Yeah, Gozer was a pussy compared to this guy LMAO
>>69945851
Not really.
>>69953624
>hurr durr positve energy is gay
lol, you 12 year old, backpeddaling shitstain. Don't get pissed at me because you couldn't properly interpret a fucking Ghostbusters movie. Was it as good as the first? No - but there was nothing wrong or off-putting about personifying negative energy in slime within the context of the GB universe.
>>69953973
>is ok with a villain that's defeated by happy thoughts
>calling others 12 years old
kek ok kiddie
>>69954068
Ok - while were on the subject, let's look at how they defeated the villain in the first film:
The crossed the streams - which worked because of made-up science jargon.
That's it. Sorry the second movie didn't live up to that brilliantly written ending.
>>69954233
Crossing the streams made sense.
So pop quiz, kiddie, do you understand WHY crossing the streams killed Gozer?
Does anyone here?
Please, feel free to answer.
Why did crossing the streams defeat Gozer.
I will wait exactly 5 minutes then I will enlighten you.
>>69954315
TOTAL PROTONIC REVERSAL!
HORRY SHEEEIT!
>>69954315
Because your mother is a whore.
>>69954352
You're on the right track.
But how did that help?
>>69954392
wow you're a master debater. No, you've won that argument beats all... in the first grade schoolyard.
Grow up, chump.
>>69954415
Feels good to be right! Yeah!
I always liked it better than the first one.
That made no sense
Back to school kiddo.........summer has come real early
>>69954415
If I remember correctly, it reverses the energy and sends Gozer back to whatever dimension she came from. Complete pseudoscientific fantasy.
Just like the idea of slime that feeds off positive and negative energy.
>using the summer meme
You're hopeless.
>>69954568
lol no
Wanna try again or should I school you?
>>69951696
The fact that the threat of the ghosts is tangible is part of the charm. Makes the attitude of the ghostbusters more appealing
>>69954598
lol no
You're done - you're attempting to argue how pseudoscience in one Ghostbusters movie is better than psuedoscience in another. You're beyond autistic and I have no interest in continuing to engage in this discussion with you. Have a good night though buddy.
>>69954598
not that anon but you're acting cringey as fuck
>>69954681
Fine I won't explain it
Gonna go out a limb and say I honestly believe that the big moment where the city goes to shit is legitimately more terrifying in GB2 than the original. When the mayor looks out the window and the clouds and sky are getting all fucked up is still creepy as fuck, also the line of ghosts coming out of the Titanic looming at the dock with that gaping black hole in the hull.
Also THIS fucking thing.
>>69954744
If you listen closely you can hear the sound of no one caring
>>69954761
Yeah I loved that whole sequence.
>>69954788
That's fine too

Mike and Jay hate it so it must be terrible.
>>69946564
It isn't clear. Could be that the slime had always been there and Vigo's spirit awakened and subsequently began to control it.
Unless I forgot something.
Either way, I never had any hate for Ghostbusters 2 and was surprised at its bad reception as I got older.
Interesting that James Rolfe mentioned that he was conditioned, due to a multitude of bad reviews, to just write the movie off, only to be pleasantly surprised later. I wonder how many other people this.
>>69945851
I liked it more than the first.

>>69954315
>Crossing the streams made sense
It was reversing the polarity of the neutron flow all over again. It was just a deus ex machina that was mentioned early so it wouldn't seem to come out of nowhere.
Same with mood slime. Remember that these were comedy movies, and weren't intended to be hard science fiction films.
>>69955321
>It was reversing the polarity of the neutron flow all over again.
How did this defeat Gozer?
>>69955368
Doctor Who didn't have a Gozer episode.
>>69955368
>>69955463
Also, here's what I'm looking for, maybe you guys can deduce it
See where I'm going with this
How did crossing the streams defeat Gozer
Why didn't all life and matter in this universe explode like Egon said
Hint:
These 2 are connected.
>>69955070
Janine got even sexier, and I liked Lewis's expanded part in the sequel.
>"So, you live alone?"
>"I used to have a roommate, but my mom moved to Florida."
>>69955515
I as well liked the sexier sluttier janine
>>69955495
The real question is why exactly would crossing the streams pop all of the protons in a universe in the first place, and why wouldn't destroying one universe through an open door destroy the one it was opened to as well?
This is total protonic reversal, after all, and the door did swing both ways.
Both universes should've been obliterated.
![janine_melnitz_____commission_by_nightwing1975-d6goc01[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/aBmi6pC.jpg "janine_melnitz_____commission_by_nightwing1975-d6goc01[1].jpg")

>>69955620
no, I don't recall, I only remember you blabbering like a child so I ignored you
anyway, quiet down kid, adults are talking
>>69955581
This guy finally got it
When they crossed the streams, where were they pointing them?
INTO THE DOOR TO ANOTHER DIMENSION
The streams were crossing as they were going in
Thusly, all life and matter in the other dimension ceased to exist, including the open door.
It cause total protonic reversale in Gozer's dimension, obliterating everything including the door. Our dimension was not affected because once the door ceased to exist there was no gateway here. The huge explosion also happened to fry the marshmallow man.
How the Ghostbusters survived is beyond me, though.

>Janosz
>Sexy Janine
>based Lewis at his best
>Vigo

What do you mean yet, OP? Ghostbusters 2 was great.
>>69955674
>so uh you wanna play Super Mario Bros?
>>69955736
The huge explosion also happened to fry the marshmallow man.
If the gateway ceased to exist, then no explosion would've happened in this universe. The explosion was the result of every proton going off in a light-speed chain reaction. Why would it suddenly decide to stop just because it blew up a door? The reaction would still continue.
>>69955736
cool fanfiction
>>69955791
No, that was what Aykroyd had in mind. Both universes would still have been fucked since the chain reaction made it through the gateway before it fucked it up.
>>69955786
>Why would it suddenly decide to stop just because it blew up a door?
Because the door ceased to exist
Everything in that dimension, including the door, simply wasn't there anymore.
>>69955774
>"Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the, uh, of the audience, I don't think it's fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody.

>"Very good, Louis. Short, but pointless."
Moranis was off the fucking chain in 2. Courtroom scene in general was GOAT, too.
>>69955830
Well, there IS also a theory that the Ghostbusters, and all of the world, died and the sequel is them spending time in purgatory and shit like that
but who knows
>>69955893
And yet, the explosion still escaped the other universe. I'm not saying the door didn't cease to exist. The explosion still managed to go through it regardless. Why did it stop if it was a chain reaction? Wouldn't the neighboring protons reverse?
>>69955933
Would've given some credence to the Hellbound script.
Anybody know where I can find the hellbent screenplay? Aykroyd apparently confirmed that he wrote it, and I'm curious.
>>69955922
Did you know he add libbed the whole party scene in the first movie in one take?
>>69945851
I don't understand why people don't like it. It wasn't as good as the first one but it was overall a good sequel.
>>69956075
Anon, you could tell me he ad libbed every line in both movies and I wouldn't dismiss it outright.
You guys want Ghostbusters 3?

>>69955515
Honestly I thought Janine was sexier when she wasn't trying so hard to be sexy
>>69956083
This is the correct answer, anon. You're not the weird one.
Look at the critical consensus. All they could say was that it was "more of the same". I don't know what else they expected, since it was a Ghostbusters movie.
>>69956121
I thought she looked like a dyke, but to each his own.
>>69956188
mmmm maybe to some, but to me she looks like a nerdy chick who doesn't care about her looks
One of those girls who is hot without knowing she's hot and without being flashy, maybe a little boring, but as we confirm in the next movie she's a freak in the sack underneath it all
>>69956266
Nah, she was trying too hard to be sexy out of desperation because Egon blew her the fuck off. She was always cockstarved.
Just just accidentally ended up being sexy at the end of the day, but hey I can't complain.
>>69955515
I'd still fuck Annie Potts.
>>69956361
Me too, anon. Me too.
>>69956327
Incredibly cockstarved, desperate, because remember how desperate Moranis was in the first movie, of course Sijourney Weaver was way out of his league.
She looked at the 4 ghostbusters
>Ray is a man-child, just clueless, fantasizing about ghost blow-jobs
>Venkman is a player, he'd just use her, also he wants his women to be exciting and sexy and she just seems too boring
>Winston's a nigger... a cool nigger, but still
So the only logical choice for her was Egon, and when he was too awkward/disinterested to make the first move, well, settle for Louis Tully.
I always liked GB II more than the first.
![ghostbusters2_glamour_9mar16_pr_b[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/5dSPNNO.jpg "ghostbusters2_glamour_9mar16_pr_b[1].jpg")
>>69956188
>I thought she looked like a dyke, but to each his own.
Which is kind of funny because the male Ghostbusters avoided the incredibly sexy sexual secretary stereotype, yet they make Ghostbusters in 2016 and they have to make it a male secretary and he has to be fucking Thor of all people, and they fawn over him like he was a piece of meat
>this is progressive
lol
>>69956477
Close. Egon wasn't awkward at all. He didn't give a shit and was clearly asexual. Louis was as awkward as it got, and he sure as hell wasn't about to make the first move, interested or otherwise. Hence the sluttier Janine (and in my case, the subsequent boner) we ended up getting.
>>69951464
>Doh.
>Ray!
>Egon~
Holy shit this is moe
>>69956652
Still calling that he has a boyfriend by the end of the movie, and this is the only reason why he isn't into any of the ugly cunts he works for.
>>69956676
>asexual
There was clear sexual tension between them, not to mention the fact that he fucks the slime in GB2, sounds like you're projecting here
>>69956684

I forgot he fucked the slime; it's been years, anon. And he seemed very disinterested in 1, with sexual tension being entirely one-sided, particularly with lines like "print is dead" in response to her love of books and his stoic "I collect spores, molds, and fungus" in response to her inquiry of his hobbies. There was nothing nervous about his demeanor is all I'm saying. He just wasn't interested, and aside from a bowl of slime he didn't seem interested in fucking anything at all.
>>69948462

It's pretty common, but I adore either the short hair, sarcastic/serious bitches with glasses (especially when they have the string thing to keep them on) or the super nerdy/awkward chicks with long skirts.
>>69948462
I am a huge Ghostbusters fan and it also surprised me that it was hated.
I expected "eh, it's alright, kinda samey" at worst. Not "this is the worst sequel ever made", and I've even seen that reaction. In a world where Highlander 2 exists I read those exact words about Ghostbusters 2.
>>69950800
In that last game apparently Vigo retook over his painting and he's sitting in a corner of the firehouse just talking shit
sequels are always better because you don't need to build up and explain and origin story. You can just get right into it.

>>69956954
Except in Ghostbusters 2, where you have the whole part where they're broken up and you spend a large chunk of the movie explaining how they got back together, just like if there was an origin story
But, nitpick nitpick it's still a good movie despite its flaws
>you will never liquor up and abduct a naive waife onto your Holiday Inn shaped spacecraft
>>69950361
It's fine for what it is, I've always just felt (even as a kid) that it's a little too "paint by numbers". It's kind of got the same issues as Home Alone 2, Die Hard 2, and Hangover 2, where it's basically the same story beats as the first one, just with the finer details tweaked to where they can get away with calling it a new movie.
>>69956919
you really can't go more full retard in the sequel department than Highlander 2.
oh wait that last Highlander movie made by scifi channel actually was worse than 2
>>69957003
but it's not an origin story, that's specifically the ooze and the turtles and their names and stuff. It's enjoyable to see these guys we know are cool doing regular joe schmoe jobs, like out of their element. That time Gohan went to high school and tried to fit in
>>69957040
See, I never actually saw anything wrong with this, at least for a first sequel. If I watch a sequel to a movie, I expect a similar movie. If you can bring something new to the table, then do it, but failing this, if you can easily shuffle the same deck and still deal something good, then feel free. I feel Ghostbusters and Home Alone dealt good hands the second time around.
James Bond movies always seem to get a free pass with its paint-by-numbers formula. A one-off sequel can't be too bad.
The fact that they started off the movie with breaking the fourth wall by having Ray and Winston to the Ghostbusters theme kind of set the tone for how half-hearted the sequel was.
I did like it when I was like 9 years old, and it was nice to see Rick Moranis as a Ghostbuster, so it had that going for it.
>>69948462
Yep same here. I saw it as a kid and rewatched it a few times as I got older and never thought it was bad until I saw something on the internet about it. I still like it, but of course the original is best.
>>69957080
Even then, it was a sci-fi original movie that went straight to video.
Highlander 2 had the same creative team, the same cast (including Sean fucking Connery), the same director, and it premiered in theaters.
The fact that it was as horrible as it was despite all that made it top my list as worst sequel ever made.
Every straight to TV sequel past that at least can say it was straight to TV.
>>69957099
>It's enjoyable to see these guys we know are cool doing regular joe schmoe jobs, like out of their element. Th
good point
>ray and winston doing parties
>venkman as always shilling on tv
>Egon letting chicks look at his Epididymis
The only thing I can really understand about not liking Ghostbister 2 as much is the fact they fought an actual god in the first movie, the stakes were higher, and the backstory behind it all was better. Like a cultist architect builds a special building used to channel spirits and summon a god to destroy the world. You really can't get any better than that.
>>69946011
We are not racist, but
>>69957003

Eat a dick. The black guy in GB2 was a solid character. The one in the new GB looks and acts like a fucking gorilla. They really goofed up that character.
