  1. Most of this is silly, dim-witted stuff, but a few of the shocks carry some of the crude power of Jack Arnold's low-budget horror films of the 50s.

    The only thing that distinguishes Species 2 is how awful it is.
  3. "Species" at least had the benefit of Henstridge's glazed porn-doll perversity, but this time any glimmers of sexual ominousness are buried in a lame, desultory chase plot and in the woefully underimagined special effects.
  4. 30
    Though there's some trashy fun to be had in the film's first half, this cynical sequel -- devolves into space junk even faster than the unfortunate Ross.

  1. Species 2 may have some cool scenes throughout this movie, but overall it was flawed and dull. It had bad acting, and a predictable, awful ending. C-= 42 (4.2/10 rounds to 4/10) Collapse

    This movie is STUPID! The ending left everything up in the air paving the way for a Species 3; thank God that never came about.
  3. Oh my goodness, this is one of the most stupid movies EVER.................. Expand
