Basic Instinct 2 isn't bad, exactly, but it lacks the entertaining vulgarity of the first film; it's Basic Instinct redone with more ''class'' and less thrust.

A few bodies pile up. Surprisingly little sex is had. And given that Catherine's true nature was revealed at the end of the first "Basic," the mystery seems superfluous.

Basic Instinct 2 is double trouble -- the femme is to die for, the film is to die from.

Not content simply to examine the relationship between sex and death, BI2 ponderously blurs the boundaries between art and life, and the plot, already mired in nonsensical backstory, collapses with the late-inning introduction of a tired metafictional device (not to mention a wildly lunging "Usual Suspects" twist).

The sequel is one big tease.

Stupefyingly lackluster.

Stone still dazzles the eye, but this wholly unwarranted sequel is so outrageously preposterous (and so very chockablock with quotable examples of the fine art of bad dialogue) that the end result achieves a basement grandeur of near-epic proportions.

Basic Instinct 2: 4 out of 10: I understand the urge of some to declare this a guilty pleasure. After all the entire movie is fascinatingly ridiculous. Sharon Stone's character from the first film has turned into a tour de force caricature. Yes she is too old to play the role but as written I can't think of any other actress who could play it either. The idea that any of the characters would find her so appealing that they would jettison any shred of common sense out of the window is nuts. It's not so much the physical as mental. Her character screams look at me I am psychotic. Now certainly some of us have been guilty of being seduced by a patently psychotic middle aged nymphomaniac, but alcohol and late hours not to mention a dimly lit bar are usually involved. To be seduced by such a creature in the sober light of day is pure science fiction. Indeed every character in the movie seems inexplicably smitten in one way or the other by Stone. I can buy one disturbed and naive character such as the baby faced psychiatrist going nuts over her but his ex-wife and her lover as well? The movie has other faults as well. There really isn't all that much sex and it does drag at times. And while beautifully shot the lack of cohesive story and supposed twists are more yawn inducing than shocking. Certainly the film is worth a look just for Stone's over the top performance but don't be surprised if you check your watch while shaking your head in disbelief.

Nowhere near as good as the original which was an excellent film..... Basic Instinct 2, apparently came out in 2006 but I can't remember to be honest. It's a thriller/mystery/erotic by very little kind of a movie and the sequel to the 1992 original Basic Instinct with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone. Strangely enough Michael Caton-Jones made the sequel instead of Paul Verhoeven and Michael Caton-Jones I think also directed The Jackal with Bruce Willis and Richard Gere...... Anyway, Basic Instinct 2 opens with Sharon Stone speeding around in her car at night with what seems to be a drugged up Stan Collymore in the passenger seat. I don't know 100% if he was drugged or drunk but he didn't look very well so something was wrong with him. Anyway they are doing naughty things in the car and Sharon Stone drives her car into the water, leaves Collymore to die and saves herself. In the next scene we see Sharon Stone I think being questioned and she eventually ends up seeing some psychiatrist or specialist or something named Michael Glass (David Morrissey). In parts of the conversation throughout the film Sharon Stone who plays Catherine Tramell mentions sex in one form or another to Michael Glass. The conversations at times are a bit awkward and David Morrissey as Michael Glass is annoying, dull and quite basically a terrible character who wasn't really needed. The storyline isn't as good as the original and the sex scenes are not as good as the original and the film feels more gloomier and the colour used in the film feels darker and limited whereas the original felt more brighter and colourful. There's a few death scenes but none are impressive and Sharon Stone is awful as Catherine Tramell but in the original she was young, hot, sexy, attractive, tough, clever but in Basic Instinct 2 she looks like she's a 50+ year old trying to act young and look hot but fails. She still looks beautiful in Basic Instinct 2 but not a scratch on her role in the original and David Morrissey was terrible in Basic Instinct 2 and can't act to save his own life and Michael Douglas is a much better actor. Sharon Stone was much better in the original and in Basic Instinct 2 all these horrible characters who are unlikeable keep cropping up throughout the movie such as the dude who keeps questioning David Morrissey, some detective dude who gets killed by Morrissey later in the movie. The nudity and sex scenes are unimpressive, the directing could of been better, horrible use of colour in the movie with dull colours over and over, Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) looks terrible and is annoying at times and so is Michael Glass (David Morrissey) , the death scenes **** and the movies polluted with band characters who nobody cares about throughout the film and some of the dialogue is cheesey, annoying, rubbish, stupid and and silly... Sharon Stone smokes a cigarette in nearly every scene which is not a good role model to other women... Sharon Stone as Catherine Tramell in Basic Instinct 2 and David Morrissey aren't that impressive and Basic Instinct 2 sinks like Tramell's car at the beginning of the movie because it's an awful film and not the worst film but bad enough. If you liked the original 1992 Basic Instinct my advice is don't ever watch Basic Instinct 2 because it's not that good and rather disappointing!
