The last time Sharon Stone uncrossed her legs there was a Bush in the White House. So controversial even screenwriter Joe Estzerhas condemned it, the first Basic Instinct remains... read more »

Stone successfully revives her performance as Catherine....It's a treat to see Stone rev her evil-vixen engine again...

Thewlis manages to make you believe in his character and steals all of his scenes...

Rated - 1 starsBasic rubbish

pinoyto from Berkshire , 10/06/2006

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.

Rated - 5 starsLoved it - does not deserve the criticism it got

TristanWhite [Highly rated reviewer] , 07/01/2007

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....

Rated - 3 starsKind of campy fun!

CJ from Stratford, Warks , 18/05/2006

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...)

Rated - 4 starsAs good as the previous one

Carlos Annia from Scotland , 14/01/2007

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.
