Basic Instinct 2 Reviews

The early Basic Instinct 2 reviews are rolling in… and it’s not really coming as any surprise that the long overdue sequel is getting hammered. And hammered HARD. I have no doubt this thing will make some money at the box office because of its promise of hot sex and nudity (I never understand why people go to the movies to see that stuff when rumour has it you can get it for free on the internet).

Anyway, here is what some of the critics are saying in their Basic Instinct 2 reviews:

“Going to go down in history as not only one of the worst sequels of all time, but also one of the worst films of all time. Come video, it may just have an ‘Alan Smithee’ credit festooned to its title sequence.”
Clint Morris, MOVIEHOLE

“If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen ALL the sex; actually, you’ve even seen more than is actually in the film. A threesome in the trailer is non-existent in the final cut.”
Susan Michals, FILMSTEW.COM

“Those hoping for either a sizzling — or an unintentionally hilarious — good time will be disappointed by this inexplicably dull sequel.”
Dennis Harvey, VARIETY

The threesome isn’t in it?!?!?! What the hell kind of rip off is that?!?! Dirty buggers.

As of this moment, Basic Instinct 2 is carrying a sad, yet better than I though, 21% at Rotten Tomatoes. But even the critics who are giving it positive ratings are saying the film is disappointing. This probably marks the end of Sharon Stone in leading roles. She’s still serviceable as a character actor though in my opinion.
