 thumps way down!!!!!!!!!!!!!! June 16, 2008
What a disappointment!!! I am a big fan of Basic Instinct and Sharon Stone. I was trilled when I heard they were making BI2. When I heard it was taking place in London I said, BIG MISTAKE!! Catherine T. will not be living in England. She will live, other than the US, in Spain, Italy, or France; where were the beautiful and scandalous people gathered. Then, when I heard who the main male actos were I said, OK SECOND BIG MISTAKE!!! I mean, need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing, but ten years too late. June 13, 2008

At least they got a decent leading man for this one.
If you thought Sharon Stone looked droopy, can you imagine what Douglas would have looked like? EWWWWW!!!
The nudity didn't even faze me.
The story line was pretty good, it held my interest but dragged in a few places. I don't understand why this movie got slammed as hard as it did.
I've seen worse. WAY worse.
All in all, I liked it and I wasn't expecting to.
Ignore the critics and see it for yourself.
Recommended.

All sequels lack integrity by their very nature. They're copies. And they're copies made for the sole purpose of studios cashing in on the original idea. They're usually haphazard and lazy, with only a handful actually being just as good as or better than their predecessor. Basic Instinct 2 is worse than most sequels. My problems with the film are:
Sharon Stone--Ms. Sharon Stone just doesn't have it anymore. She is no longer capable of being a good actress. Okay, enough with my comedy attempt, when was she ever a good actress? She's done two good movies her whole career, yet she actually comes off so self-important as if she's had the career of Meryl Streep. She's not even fit to be compared to Demi Moore. I liked the movie Diabolique, and Sliver was okay, but they weren't good movies. And her acting was only passable in those. Also, even when Sharon Stone was supposed to be really hot, she wasn't. She wasn't the sexiest girl in Basic Instinct. The girl who played Roxy was. I wonder what happened to her?
David Morrissey--When I first heard that some guy named Morrissey was playing the lead, I thought they were actually talking about the former lead singer of The Smiths. He would have been 25 times better than this Morrissey. At least we would have had some charisma on screen. D. Morrissey is about as charming and charismatic as a celery stick with no dip. And he has no chemistry at all with Stone. In a sexual thriller or romance, you must have chemistry. I heard about all of the demands Stone made about who her co-star had to be. She said no to Benjamin Bratt, but picked this walking piece of dandruff to be her male lead?
The Plot--Next.
The sex--Tacky and raunchy; nothing sexy at all about it. In the first one, every sex scene was well done and suspenseful. Will she or won't she pull out the ice pick? There's no lesbianism in the movie either. Some think this was a critique of the Bush-era America. Sure, because every nation and the people in it always adopt the values of their leader. If that were the case, everybody would be church-going Christians who loved their country and wouldn't care about a little water torture of terrorists, i.e. there would be no liberals. Does this idea of a nation mirroring the values of its leader mean America lost its sexual morals during the Clinton Administration? Isn't it more likely they strayed from girl on girl action because of all the whiners who accused the original film of homophobia because they made the killer bi? Or maybe the producers knew the public wouldn't bite on a lesbian theme when everybody can see that during the MTV Music Awards.
Continuity--It would have been nice to at least tell the audience what happened with Mike Douglas's character; but I guess it's easy to forget a lot about the first film when there's been a 15 year gap between movie release dates, and when the one writing the movie wasn't even born 15 years ago.
Bottom Line: Stilted acting and storyline. There is a cold and soulless tone to the entire film. And it has no repeat playability factor.
