That was an excellent one.
Just perfect...
A Masterpiece!
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The almost-human son of "Brundlefly" searches for a cure to his mutated genes while being monitored by a nefarious corporation that wishes to continue his father's experiments. The Fly II is better than most sequels are these days but that doesn't mean that it's that good either. Not having any of the original actors for the sequel was pretty bad plus it seems the studio went for the B-List cast and the overall result is pretty much disappointing although the special effects once again i will admit were quite terrific for the time being for this poorly sequel. (4/10)
***No SPOILERS***This movie has it's own great story, script, great acting & atmosphere. It's definitely better movie than the first one. Surprised? Let me explain:First movie is good directed(thanks to Cronenberg), well acted(Jeff Goldblum + Gena Davis) mainly horror focused movie. Story is lack of surprises. You can see how it ends from almost the start of the movie. But nice horror movie, lack of science fiction.Fly 2 is more sci-fi movie. It lacks horror but gives depth to the story & characters. Ending was really unexpected & nice. If you see first one & expect more violence or horror, don't. See it as individual sci-fi movie. What I really liked about this movie was corrupted people & society. It was so realistic & unexpected.If you love sci-fi genre & like horror, definitely watch this.Thanks for reading.
Veronica Quaife pregnant with Seth Brundle's baby delivers a mutant. Seth's employer Anton Bartok keeps the baby which grows rapidly. Five years later, Martin Brundle (Eric Stoltz) is a young man continuing his father's work. One night, he meets overnight-shift worker Beth Logan (Daphne Zuniga). Martin conceives a way to cure his mutation but it needs to transfer the mutant genes to another donor.Special effects head Chris Walas of the first movie takes over the directing role. It doesn't have the same body fears of the Cronenberg horror. The story is a simple plain sequel. Stoltz is fine and I like Zuniga. Bartok is not impressive enough. There are lots of gore. The fly monster isn't filmed that well but it's lots of goo and blood. I think simply turning off the lights would elevate the scares. It's a weak horror. The story is functional. The young couple is nice. Overall, this is a major step down from Cronenberg.
Picking up where "The Fly" left off, this sequel offers a fresh, different story about the son of Seth Brundle, Martin (Eric Stoltz). His corrupt employer, Bartok (Lee Richardson) adopts Martin only only to use him as a guinea pig to resolve the issues the TelePods present. The fly's genes make five year-old Martin grow extremely faster than normal and, onto the company's scheme, he attempts to find a cure for his condition before he becomes a fly permanently and before the corrupted company succeeds in their evil deeds. This movie highlights, just like the first movie, brilliant make-up and special effects (no CGI stuff) that brings the Fly to life, looking creepy enough to make the hair stand on the back of your neck and make you cover your eyes at times. The plot is fast-paced that cleverly details the scheme of the corporation to Martin attempting to save himself and those he loves, all the while in a thrilling race against time to stop his genes from mutating himself into a full-blown fly. There is the usual graphic scenes like the first one, which one comes to expect from a sci-fi horror, but with added gore. There is also a nice balance of drama, such as the emotional scene involving Martin's dog. And, one thing I would give this film a notch up from the first film is that it had ***spoiler ahead*** a more positive ending (I am a sucker for happy endings) ***end of spoiler***Overall, it's a very good sci-film that relied on its drama, brilliant make-up, and a right amount of horror and action elements in its entertainment value, as opposed to the overly excessive CGI effects, overkill action fight scenes and campy acting that render some of the more recent sci-fi/action films unbelievable and cheesy. Grade B
