Honest Trailers Season 1 Episode 160 Honest Trailers - Ghostbusters 2

Honest Trailers is back with another hilarious episode of their witty and sarcastic take on some of our most beloved movies and TV shows. In this episode, they take on the sequel to the classic Ghostbusters movie, Ghostbusters 2.

The episode starts off with some background information on the original Ghostbusters movie, reminding viewers of the success and popularity of the franchise. However, they quickly move on to the flaws of the sequel, starting with the premise: "Ghosts are back in New York. Who you gonna call? The Ghostbusters...again." The trailer points out how unoriginal and uninspired this storyline is, and through various clips from the movie, they criticize the predictable plot and lackluster characters.

They also call out the film's inability to capture the same level of humor as the original, despite still having the same cast. The connection between the characters, which made the first movie so great, is missing in the sequel, and the inclusion of a new love interest for Bill Murray's character falls flat. The trailer even goes as far as to suggest that the only reason Murray returned for the sequel was to fund his golf habit.

The Honest Trailer also takes aim at the visual effects of the movie, pointing out how outdated they look by today's standards, and the movie's overall lack of creativity in comparison to the first. They also examine the nostalgia factor that made the original so successful and explain why it doesn't work for the sequel.

As always, the Honest Trailer isn't afraid to take jabs at the studio behind the film, pointing out how much of a cash grab the entire movie feels like. They suggest that the movie doesn't even feel like a legitimate sequel, but more like an attempt to capitalize on the success of the first.

Overall, the Honest Trailer for Ghostbusters 2 is another excellent installment in the series, highlighting the flaws of the movie through a witty and hilarious commentary. Fans of the franchise might not appreciate the criticism, but for those who are open to a good laugh, this episode is definitely worth watching.
