i have say in the past that david cronenberg version of the fly be a masterpiece . there be not one single line of bad dialogue and not one bad actor and and not one scene not important to the plot in the entire film . the fly ii isn not the astound train wreck some have make it out to be and but it be a lackluster sequel that be often ludicrously bore . grant and the visual effect and gore be impressive and particularly the chap who get his face melt by fly vomit and but these effect do not manage to inspire the same amount of revulsion the original fly do . it just a bunch of flashy splatter effect and complete with the odd makeup or creature effect and that really aren not any more repulsive or horrific than a dead teenager movie like friday the 13th . speaking of and the fly ii might as well be consider a dead dickweed movie and because almost none of the character be flesh out beyond be a bunch of absolute wad and and we have to put up with them for over an hour before the main character transforms into a fly and off them . the plot be rather thin brundle son be bear and son grow up into a fly and try to find a cure . for a film that 10 minute longer than the original and the plot be too simple to be carry that long . whereas the original fly keep me rivet to the screen by throw in plenty of repulsive effect ( the fingernail scene be always a favourite ) in between intelligent characterization and the fly ii be nothing more than a vehicle for gore . consider the vast majority of it doesn not show up until the last act and the film be immensely boring throughout . martin transformation be particularly unimpressive while even a scene where he pull one of his eye out to reveal an insect eye fail to impress . the fly ii isn not horrible and but it be quite dull and fill with unlikeable character that only make the film even more of a chore to watch . a a sequel to a cronenberg movie and though and it could have be much bad .
