Ghostbusters 2

This might be good only for nostalgic reasons, but it's not worth much.. It's set 5 years after the first movie ended, and we find Dana that of course sooner or later got tired of Venkman's attitude and left him, married someone else, had a baby and got divorced/separated . Ray has a shop called Ray's occult, and from time to time he goes with Winston to children's parties (not sure if it's funny or melancolic to see the two of them singing "who you gonna call" and the kids shouting He-Man! ) , Peter is a tv presenter for the show "World of the psychic", and Egon is doing research (mean and pointless research maybe, but research nontheless).
Everyone thinks they are swindlers, then a sort of pink blob comes out of everywhere, including of course Dana's house, so she picks her baby up and storms into Peter's house. All the bad emotions of New York City have gathered in there, and now a very very bad guy called Vigo wants to use it to come back alive, because at the moment he's just a painting!
I think that the best moment of the whole movie is when they describe how Vigo was called, how bad he was, and how they got rid of him, really wanting to make sure! :lol: that's the only scene really good, I think.
 His plan is to enter into a baby, and what a coincidence, Dana has a baby and they choose her Oscar among all the other children! So the ghostbusters are needed again, and it all starts again like it had before, the music, the car, and Janine announcing "we're back" on the phone. Things from here go like in the first film, nobody believes them, or wants them at first, then some people do but there's a bureaucrat who has them thrown into a mental hospital (big change, in the first they were thrown in prison!) then big, bad things happen , city in chaos, nobody knows what to do, so "Where are the ghostbusters?" and they're in action again. Basically, they are freed again thanks to the big enemy only they can defeat... again only they can save the city, and they do it by defeating all the bad-emotion-blob with the help of all the people singing and spreading good-emotions at it, with the little help of the statue of liberty that they make move and cross the city without hurting anyone, it's incredible how some people find it difficult to use a remote-controlled toy-airplane, and they can move the whole statue with only the help of a music-loving blob, and walk perfectly on the road... I wonder if this is the most incredible thing, or is instead the fact that all New York City's people are singing happily together as if  it was Christmas...
After Vigo is defeated they are the city's heroes, people cheer at them, just like it had happened before... so they probably should be worried. Apparently after the first film they were sued for all the damages they did, so if there was a Ghostbusters 3 they would probably live all under a bridge, given the things they did this time!
