Ghostbusters 2 (1989)

While I enjoy this film, I don’t love it. It does a great job of continuing the story. It does a lot of the same with the characters. The side characters are there just to be there. I finale is pretty cool. I wish I loved this more but it just feels like a downgrade for 90% of the movie. It pairs nicely with the first film but I don’t think I’d grab this one off the shelf by itself. I only see myself watching this as part of a multi-film feature.
