Thats a shame, I really liked 2, maybe more than the first. Why would they need to cut out the second movies continuity?

By that logic, shouldn't this be Ghostbusters 4 since a third one was made before this?

3rd one takes place in a different universe. That's why people hated it so much. This is the 3rd movie of the original Ghostbusters universe

Dan Aykroyd said the Ghostbusters video game from years ago was basically the script for the never-filmed actual Ghostbusters 3.

That had nothing to do with why people hated it.

Was a good game too, I really enjoyed it. It did feel like I was playing through a new Ghostbusters movie in a sense.

Aw...GB2 was great.

I loved the ghost montage near the end, with the mink coat and the Titanic

I loved the courtroom scene.

I loved the Statue of Liberty scene.

I loved the demon voice say Winston's name. That was genuinely creepy.

I loved Janine's makeover.

I loved Janosz.

What was so wrong with the movie that people hated it?

I've no idea, i loved it too, probably more than the first, but i guess its because its a bit more campy than the first?

I watched it with friends recently and noticed that the first 20 minutes or so is pretty joyless when it's showing everyone disconnected and struggling. It gets a lot better though and has a ton of great scenes.

If this is true, it's exceedingly arrogant of them to just pretend like Ghostbusters II doesn't exist. It wasn't a great film, but it nonetheless has a secure place in pop culture.

On the other hand, doesn't Ghostbusters II have some weird licensing issues that make it incredibly difficult to make money from? So I can see why they would want a new Ghostbusters II just for that reason.

The main issue I have with it (although I do still really enjoy it) is that it's very much a beat-by-beat replay of the first:

Ghostbusters start off down-and-out
Spooky threat starts to materialise
Dana becomes a target
Set piece with the Ghostbusters - but not Winston - trapping a ghost then getting public recognition
Goofy guy with a crush on Dana falls under the thrall of the big bad
Ghostbusting montage
Discovery that there are so many ghosts because of the big bad
Obstructive dickhead has the team locked up
Location most associated with Dana becomes supernaturally altered
Ghostbusters are released and brought to see the mayor before being told to save the day
Climax involves a giant icon walking through New York
The Ghostbusters win and with Dana and her comic relief stalker meet the adoring crowd while covered in gunk

That breakdown could describe either film perfectly (although the "giant icon" in the first film was made up for the movie, while it's obviously something real in the second.)

I love the film, but its copy/paste plot is definitely an issue.

Id argue that thats just because it was a product of its time. I cant think of any movie sequels from that era that diverged so heavily from the first one.

I think it wasnt until the mid-90s that that started to be a thing.

I don't like Ghostbusters 2, but that's really dumb. Did they just do fuck all after the first movie, or what? Is that video game canon? The 80s cartoon?
