Review of Basic Instinct 2 (2006) by Steven1981 — 19 Mar 2020

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 suck 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.
