Review Detail

A longtime favourite of mine, Ghostbusters 2 is one of those flawed sequels with a good heart that I'll stick up for given half a chance. Bobson's edit goes a long way toward shoring up my love of this film, with added scenes between Dana and Peter that flesh out the sweet and bruised relationship that's at the core of the movie. The sequences between Louis and Slimer, while unfinished, are icing on the cake.

With the recent announcement of a box set full of additional deleted scenes, it's very possible this edit will be getting an upgrade, but even if not, this will continue to be my go-to version of this, one of the all-time great movies to feature a dancing toaster.

(One nit-pick/suggestion I just thought of while typing that last sentence: can a future edit please fix Peter's line "oh it sings, too!" during the dancing slime-toaster sequence? He says it before the clearly overdubbed song starts playing vocals and it has bugged me since well before I knew was ADR was.)
