I said they gave it the exact same title as the 80s original, to deliberately confuse the audience.Which they did.I can see more problems with it than just the weak first act. With a sequel, you often hope that they either advance the story in some interesting way, or go bigger than the first movie. GBII did neither. They reset the business as if they hadn't saved the world, and then repeat much of the same plot, but with a weaker villain and Dana miraculously being in the middle of it all again. And I can see how the ending is a bit cringe too.But amongst the flaws, I also see some greatness. Janosh is hilarious,  Venkman gets a lot of great lines, and Winston has a lot more to do and say. The river of slime in the old pneumatic transit is a cool and haunting idea, and Vigo is genuinly creepy.</blockquote>
