Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction Reviews

Basic rubbish

Cheeses rice!

It realy hurt me when I watched this film, which I thought was impossible!

Fair enough you get to see miss stones saggy breasts but there is just no way of discribing how awful, bland & boring it was.

The most thrilling part of the movie was when I saw the credits. Lets just say me and my grandma can make a better film with a sock and a stick as main actors.

Very disappointing.

Loved it - does not deserve the criticism it got

The critics tore it apart unjustly. God knows why - it really isn't that bad. It must have just been fashionable to ridicule it.

The acting is good, London looks gorgeous as ever, and Sharon Stone is as sexy at 48 than she was in Basic Instinct 1 - possibly even sexier. Well, no, maybe that's stretching it a little far.

Morrissey (from 'Blackpool') is very good too, as is Thewliss. OK some of the script is a little cringey and was clearly not written by a Brit, but this is a minor point. As a whodunnit, it's perfect. Keeps you guessing throughout, in the same style as Basic Instinct 1. What more do you possibly want? Citizen bloody Kane? What do you expect from a sequel to Basic Instinct 1, fourteen years on? Well to be honest, I didn't expect anything nearly as good as this. I was pleasantly surprised, and if you have an open mind, so will you too.

Language can be a little fruity at times if that bothers you - but what film doesn't these days. Certainly didn't bother me, but I am sure it does some....

Kind of campy fun!

Was there ANYONE who really was eagerly awaiting this film? However, it was sort of fun if you didn't tatke it too seriously. Sharon Stone hams it up big time, and is very feen to show off how great her body still looks! The London setting is not bad actually, but most of the acst look rather out of their depth.

Trashy fun, and I'm wondering if that deleted bisexual threesome will be on the DVD! (Widely available online...)

As good as the previous one

I really don't understand why the critic was that hard with this movie. I liked very much the first part and this second part is very good. Sharon Stone is even prettier than in the first one; the plot is maintain and both movies are related and continuing the main idea with the same intrigue; the production is marvelous, every detail was carefully watch and finally the city of London is taken in its very best views. To those who enjoyed Basic Instinct 1 definitely I recommend to watch this sequence.I really don't understand why the critic was that hard with this movie.

Why?????

This is just such a rubbish movie. All I can say to the makers of Basic Instinct 2 is....'Thanks for wasting my time'

An insult

This film is so boring I actually felt insulted. If you have more rewarding things to do like counting the hairs on your left forearm, do it. I most definitely wish I had (your forearm or mine, I wouldn't care). Utterly forgettable.

A chemical peel surely?

All the reviews gloss over the actual storyline, which I think is better than the original, particularly the ambiguous ending, but the dialogue is really poor. Sharon Stone looks like she's been seriously chemically peeled, because you don't see skin like that even on baby's backsides. And those breasts definitely are not original (clue here - normal breasts don't stay perky when a woman's lying back being given one).

So, it's Sharon Stone but you wouldn't know it, and her performance is truly appalling. Definitely the worst thing in the film (I think London comes off best). So, stick with the original and give this one a very wide swerve.

Awful!!

They really should have left it at the first one!

Sharon Stone naked......great! Basic Instinct 2.....sucks!

Fans of the first film (of which I am one) will find the second installment to be disappointing. Indeed Sharon Stone looks fabulous and plays the part of the sexy & sassy Catherine Tramell every bit as well as she did in the first Basic Instinct but the story (or lack of it) just does not work and lets the film down. This film could have been so much better with help from a stronger support cast from the great british actors/actresses that we have such as Sean Pertwee, Kate Beckinsale, Ray Winston or Emma Thompson that would have complimented the London skyline.

.. basically addicted to SS !

Not nearly as bad as some reviews might suggest, and definately worth a rent. OK, Ms Stone can't act for toffee, but she looks a million dollars and is so sexy for a woman of her age.

An interesting storyline and a great thriller, with great London locations which is always good to see.

Watch out for Stan Collymore at the beginning of the film. A future in film beckons for the lad! - not !!
