Review: 'Ghostbusters 2' is a ghostly imitation and not very interesting


Ghostbusters 2   PG
            Ivan Reitman returns for this defanged sequel, where an evil painting threatens to turn New York into a slime pool. So bad it's not funny. Weaver plays a mommy. Murray plays with his Ghostbuster friends. Ghost ectoplasm is used to make the statue of Liberty like a robot. Uhu. A lot of fun was lost in the sequel, where it appears here as a badly scripted cash grab, and the actor are bored. The evil painting villain was insane and not interesting, and the slimed building was just odd. It was like a 12year old came up with the idea of pouring slime all over the place, perhaps a child of one of the producers. It seemed really badly conceived from the get go.
