    Was it necessary to open a new thread for this? :-?

    Well, why not have a Ghostbusters thread? We've got ones for SW, GOT, DW, Indy...

    Ah but I wouldn't mind a separate thread.

    But the trailer was already posted, you see... :-?

    I enjoyed the trailer. The film looks like it is, at the very least, a decent one. I don't know how good it's going to turn out to be, but it looks reasonably interesting even without showing us anything of the former leads, and that is good.

    I quite like the looks of this! Must be the sentimental connection to the originals.

    The new trailer has me intrigued, it certainly looks better than the garish film from a few years ago.

    I saw the original Ghostbusters at the cinema at Christmas 1984, I absolutely love that movie I got it in 4K a few years back it looks fantastic.

    I'll repurpose this as a Ghostbusters thread, lest it be closed. We have an existing place for trailers.

    I love Ghostbusters. It's one of my all time favourite movies. Saw it as a kid and was also really into The Real Ghostbusters animated show and toys.
    Ghostbusters II I think is a lame sequel - but it's better than that 2016 remake. I've taken at least one of my kids to the re-releases in 2012, 2014 and 2019.
    Means a lot to me and I'm very excited about the new one.

    Couldn't agree more. The film gets a lot of criticism, but I think it's nearly as good as the first. Vigo in the painting, Janosz wandering the hallway with glowing eyes, the river of slime, especially as seen in the photos being developed.. creepy stuff.

    Some fun moments: Ray's double take at the container of bubbling slime in the courtroom, ghost train in the abandoned tube, shaven pets.

    I suppose the second film is inferior to the first one, in the sense that it's too much of a retread, but I prefer it to the original. I like the new supporting characters (Janosz, the judge and Hardemeyer -- I even prefer Janosz to Louis as "weird guy in love with Dana") and I feel there is more interplay between the leads, especially Peter and Dana, which I enjoy. The villain is more intimidating, and has more screentime to become that. I also like the music score. Randy Edelman's music is in a totally different style than Elmer Bernstein's, but it works. I feel Edelman is an undervalued composer in general.

    Ghostbusters II is decent though the first film is perfect, not a moment is wasted in the original film, very tough act to follow.

    I agree, it’s better than most other comedy movie sequels out there.
