Director : Ivan Reitman
Running Time : 104 mins

The Ghostbusters have been forced into retirement since they saved New York five years earlier, but strange goings on around town, involving pink ooze and a painting of Viggo the Carpathian encourage them to reform and investigate what might be the end of the world as we know it.

In spite of the fact that Reitman’s movies are extremely formulaic, it’s a formula that works every time. The cast are a lot older, but they still play the characters with an enthusiasm that was present in the original. This is a worthy sequel, filled with great special effects and likeable characters that have truly stood the test of time.
