    BI2 isn't nearly as bad as I expected. It's entertaining at all times, and has a plot that makes you think (seriously).

    Not as good as the first but Sharon is back in top form and gives us the Catherine that we love to hate.

    Sharon is a little over the top at times, but she steals just about every scene. Worth one's time.

    I was expecting much, much worse. Sharon Stone is okay, but her face looks lumpy and weird from too much botox. Overally the moview doesn't suck, but it's kinda boring.

    It must be me! Never have I been in such total disagreement with almost all the professional reviewers. I found the film intriguing fun, Sharon Stone luscious, and the supporting characters uniformly engaging. Maybe even an 8, on reconsideration.

    I think the reviewers all jumped on the bandwagon, i.e. it's OK to trash Sharon Stone. And a sequel? Even more reason. This movie was not bad at all, I was expecting some flop of a movie. And Sharon's still got it, she looks great. No one does the mean, mind-warped female character like she does. I don't know why I was comparing to Match Point, maybe because it takes place in London, but this was better than Match Point. Expand

    Sharon Stone is delightful to watch. The story was so so. The therapist was a bit unbelievable.

    Bar none, the absolute worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life, ever. Here's the kick: Sharon Stone...again is fabulous, brilliant and dead-on as Tramell...and again Stone is the best actress working in bad movies today.

    I'm at complete odds with the critics on this one. I thought BI 2 was a very well done movie. Sharon Stone has still got it, and while there may be some clique plot points, they manage to out a frsh twist on them.

    This movie isn't horrible. Well, yes, it is. But listen . . . this might be a movie for you if you want to sit down and have a guilty pleasure. Sharon Stone works what she's got, and she's still got 'it'. She does what she can with the most laughable dialogue I have witnessed on screen in years. The supporting actors try to take themselves seriously, and do a decent job when all is said and done. This movie is bad, but it's not that bad. In fact, it is almost good. Well . . . almost. Expand

    Watched it 2 times. First time was ok. 2nd time, I listened more and it was very good. Some times it was a bit much, but that's the director...not Sharon. The international touch was great! Trammel has sold a lot of books. Lastly...Sharon looks great and appears to be aging well. She has a great look. I would have loved to have her on my arm years ago and even more so now.

    Really enjoyed it. It wasn't as good as the first but what mattered for me was that i enjoyed the film. It didn't hurt that Sharon Stone looked AMAZING.

    Not nearly as bad as many critics hoped it would be, "Basic Instinct 2" moves along at a decent pace. Unfortunately, where it winds up is questionable. I would like an example of the"unintentionally hilarious dialog" that some say is to be found here.

  1. 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.

    Those hoping for either a sizzling -- or an unintentionally hilarious -- good time will be disappointed by this inexplicably dull sequel.
  3. 40
    Basic Instinct 2 pushes diligently along in a murder-and-mayhem-stuffed effort to demonstrate that (a) a sillier and more hackneyed movie than "Basic Instinct" is possible and (b) that shrinks have ids too, by golly.
