After watching both films back to back on the TV last night on August 6th, 2021, in all seriousness I do prefer 2 more than the first one. To explain why I prefer 2 over 1 is that when I first saw 2 as a kid I was absolutely terrified of Vigo and the whole mood slime thing. It gave me a genuine reaction that for whatever reason the first film didn't. Now I will admit, I did end up seeing Ghostbusters 2 before the first film. Whether or not my opinion about 2 would be different if I hadn't watched it first I'm not sure. But anyways, I found Vigo to be more interesting and intimidating considering he's shown early on in the movie unlike Gozer who was just saved till the very end for the most part. I also like the slightly darker tone 2 has where Vigo needs Oscar in order to be reborn as well as other kind of creepy details. I will say this that I feel that it would've been better to see the film start off with the court case and the guys finding the slime prior to that and so forth. Of course if it weren't for the original Ghostbusters film, 2 would not exist and lets be honest here 2 is definitely far better than the 2016 reboot.
