5 years later; Who you gonna to call? He-Man!: Basically; Dana Barrett [Sigourney Weaver:] she is now working as a painter restoration at the  Manhattan Museum of Art in New York City more on that later, has now had a baby, his name is Oscar [Will Deutschendorf/William T. Deutschendorf &  Hank Deutschendorf/Henry J. Deutschendorf II,] after his mother experiences strange goings-on again, she needs the help of the Ghostbusters, it hasn't gone at all well for the Ghostbusters, but like the Phoenix the Ghostbusters will rise again as there is strange things happening and don't worry Janine Melnitz [Annie Potts:] she is the receptionist to the Ghostbusters, she is a strong woman that works hard, doesn't take any rubbish and knows what she wants as you will clearly get either the feeling or/and see it.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 108 minutes film is good as it uses lots of things happening, from time to time noticeably loud background music and a good old-fashioned style of a montage [yes indeed I pretty much cope and pasted this paragraph from its predecessor, but minus updating a little bit; to make this point of why change something that clearly worked the first time around and this will not be the only time I make some kind of comparison between the original and this sequel; I will say this one more time so I don't have to say it again unless of updating or/and progressing  things, why change something that was successful the first time around.]

Comedy, action and art; [this sequence is in two parts as in we have the first part and then go away to something else and then come back] Dr. Egon Spengler [Harold Ramis,] Dr. Stantz [Dan Ackroyd] and Dr. Peter Venkman [Bill Murray;] all wearing some level of protective gear to do some potentially messy investigation, but also it could be used as a disguise posing as people providing public maintenance/services; which will come in very handy as not once but twice, they will get interrupted by actual public service personnel, but our three Ghostbusters or nothing but resourcefuly as they try to play the role of the stereotype of public maintenance/servers individuals; as the second time around without giving too much away Dr. Stantz has been lowered down into this hole they had made with this apparatus so you can be lowered down to investigate and if need be take a sample; which he does take a sample of what he finds, he tells the other two to basically pull him up, but because they have their hands full with keeping this charade going; something begins to rise out of this predominantly pink slime and tries to grab Dr. Stantz; but luckily enough of the other two Ghostbusters hear him and begin to pull him out, but unfortunately Dr. Stantz doesn't exactly leave this location as he finds it actually be accidentally makes the entire current situation worse. Obviously I'm going to highlight the high level of imagination and creativity, yet again because of its high detail and vision yes they have aged a little bit, but you can still appreciate their concept, approach and execution of this sequence including every other sequence this film has to offer; including the usage of a very old lady; so likewise like its predecessor it will always look and feel as it will always meant to be even after I am long gone.

Character developments and performances; on both counts yet again they are flawless as I made reference to earlier it has been 5 years since we have seen these characters and things have moved on or/and developed; be it Dr. Spengler clearly showing some level of comedic understanding in his own fashion as to indicate that these characters have spent a lot of time together and other individuals characteristics have rubbed off on to him a little or as you can see Barrett has moved on to a different stage of her life and performances have fluent chemistry to them, so it doesn't matter if they are a returning character or a newcomer in Dr. Janosz Poha/Ghost nanny [Peter MacNicol:] he is an art restoration expert at the Manhattan Museum of Art in New York City, he is also Barrett's boss for now as she would like to get back to the orchestra now and son is older, he also comes over as slimy without the use of gunge towards her

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment, it is just new strange goings-on, yes we have a smaller extra sequence over the ending credits and other bits and pieces.
