      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    The Proton Pack-backed quartet are once again ready to battle the forces of evil in Ghostbusters II. Out of business and doing children

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 2.32:1 DVD exhibits a very nicely rendered picture with vibrant colors that are well-balanced. Sharpness is quite satisfying, with satisfying details and impressive contrast and shadow delineation. The scenes with bothersome edge enhancement on the previous DVD are much cleaner, and appear merely edgy but without the blatant halos. Pixelization is rarely a problem with this title, as the picture is often quite clean and solid. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The remastered Dolby

    DVD-ROM Review:

    Reason #66 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I sell electronics, and I need to know what's new and more importantly what's the best that my customers can buy and why. Product reviews are always informative, and I am better able to stay on top of the market.
