Movie Reviews of Basic Instinct 2 [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: close to superb cinematography, sharon stone is a perfection as she always used to be...
Summary: 5 Stars

First of all I want to highlight that I have watched this movie the second time yesterday evening to come to a real conclusion if I really liked it or not. Luckily I made myself clear that BI2 did very well at all in most of the criteria.When I first saw it I thought that BI 1 was way better than this because I had too many unsolved questions in my head . However when I saw it the second time , everything has changed and now BI2 is surely better than first for me.I do not understand why a lot of people have great objections to this movie and too many negative comments. In fact the main reason of this is always comparing it to the first one which I already did. This is not fair to compare a sequel to a prequel if the first one is already a smash hit and effected a lot of people. I remember a few movies that the sequels surpassed the popularity and the box office success of the prequels which comes to mind first is T2 , it was a sequel and it was a real success. But T1 was also a classic , can we say that due to T2 was great so T1 sucked , no not at all!!. I liked Basic Instinct 2 because:

1 ) It started a bit slow , with so many dialogs . But about after 40 minutes it started to get faster, suspense started release it self and the movie started to get some meaning and finalizing with a great twist and left everyone highly effected by Ms. Stone again.

2)There is a real real fact that Sharon Stone is a great actress and she did her best in this movie no less than the first one. (She can not do any less acting even if she wants because she is naturally good!!! )About the sexiness and beauty: Well it is strange that something is missing from her sexiness and beauty from the first movie (by the way we're talking about 14 years!!! , its OK.)But somehow she is more beautiful and dazzling. Her looks and tricky behaviors are fantastic, thanks to her she deserved 14 million to the each cent!!! 3) It is true that the absence of Michael Douglas can not be filled because he is a great actor and he caught a very good combination with Sharon Stone in 1992. However now he even himself can not fill his space because he is 60!!! and he looks 60 maybe more than 60 but Sharon doesn't so whoever has a good or close to good acting talent replacing his role would be OK for this movie and sois David Morissey.He is not great , even sometimes boring but what does it matter ? We have no Michael Douglas here and Morissey is not much a problem. He could also catch a good connection with Stone and he did in some ways especially in the end.

4) Charlotte Rampling was a great supporter and gave seriousness to the movie.

5) The score was great , even greater than the first one. I'm sorry but I really can not understand why some people still have even objections to the score.Oh come on people you are really lying to your selves. The score was so fascinating and effective especially when Morissey was following Stone on the streets,that was really great. And also in some scenes there was a combination of the first movie's score and still some people say the score was not as good as it was in the first movie . . How can this be true while the music is same with the first movie just different tones and enstruments are used ??? Thats really unbelievable !!!

6)The plot was good , twists were good, the clothes were good, the locations were good, what can I say more? In short it s a very pity that this movie is sucking in box office at the moment and it is really not deserving it. Its just because of the ridiculous negative critics. On the contrary this movie is one of the best of its kind. I want to say that we have very popular movie critics in Turkey and the most popular of them gave 3 out of 4 starts to BI 2 and rated it on top of Brokeback Mountain and Capote. 2.8 points in IMDb is really not fair. I suggest everyone to watch it again!!!!

Genre: Suspense
Rating: R

Media Type: Blu-Ray

Despite its inevitable fate as a critically reviled box-office flop, Basic Instinct 2 sure has a funny way of holding your attention. It's not just Sharon Stone's trash-talk and occasional nudity that keeps you watching, but also the way she gamely earns every cent of her $14 million paycheck, vamping like a real pro in her second outing as mystery novelist and alleged serial killer Catherine Tramell. Now living in London, Catherine sets her lethal sights on Michael Glass (David Morrissey), the control-freak psychiatrist assigned to evaluate her as a risk-addicted suspect in the "accidental" killing of a star soccer player. Turns out Catherine's just getting started (or is she?), and that's bad news for Glass's ex-wife, a tabloid journalist, and the Scotland Yard detective (David Thewlis) who's desperate to put Catherine in jail. With plenty of sex, murder and salacious dialogue, BI2 is certainly never boring, especially with the morbid fascination of seeing the once formidable Stone torpedo her career in a sequel that took 14 years (and countless drafts of screenplays and at least one high-profile lawsuit) to bring to the screen. She's still impressively hot at age 47, prompting critic Roger Ebert to observe, "the Catherine Tramell role cannot be played well, but Sharon Stone can play it badly better than any other actress alive." So, while this ill-fated sequel falls just short of being a guilty pleasure (if only because Morrissey is no match for Michael Douglas in the 1992 original), it's enjoyably absurd and slickly produced, and the hot-tub scene is guaranteed to wear out the freeze-frame function on a lot of DVD players. For some viewers, that's reason enough for multiple viewings.--Jeff Shannon
