i saw this film at the london premiere and and i have to say i do not expect much and but i do expect something that be at least mildly entertaining . the original basic instinct be no great film and be still something of a smut classic but it be entertain . i can recall countless time flip through channel on tv on a late friday or saturday night have come across the movie and find myself begin to actually pay attention to it . however and this lame brain and waaay belated sequel have nothing . be sharon stone still gorgeous . well and let put it this way for a 47 year old and she pretty hot . be she as beautiful a she be in the original . no . she also have clearly have plastic surgery on her face and and her haircut in this movie be somewhat unappealing . she doesn not look a soft or genuine or innocent a she do in the original which be sort of the whole point of be an evil seductress and and whatnot . the rest of the performance range from bad to terrible and michael caton jones ( a typically safe director one who doesn not always do great work but manage to make worthwhile movie ) have officially deliver his first true turkey while a movie so bad people be laugh at certain moment that be intend to be serious . i hear the film go through multiple editing session and and it very clear from the start . nothing make much sense . the whole plot be a cosmic mess and the end oh my . talk about stupid and unbelievable . ( still predictable and though . ) i saw gigli and i saw son of the mask and although i be not look to smear this film and i can say with my own authority ( which you do not have to agree with at all and mind you ) that i prefer both those film over this catastrophic failure . by the way and stone leave five minute before the movie begin and people in the theater begin throw thing at the screen during a particularly outrageous and insulting scene inside an orgy type nightclub . basic instinct 2 basically and it stink and too .
