a sequel to one of the great and most powerful horror film of all time and yet one without the input of original director and co writer david cronenberg and be always go to be a hard sell . unsurprisingly and the fly ii be a disappointment and emerge a a mere exercise in formulaic shock and little else and a young martin brundle ( eric stoltz ) be bring up by the sinister bartok ( lee richardson ) only to realise his horrendous destiny a dormant gene in his body begin to transform him into a crossbreed of fly and human and just his like decease father . while reasonably entertain throughout and this be a sloppy and scrappy film that underwrite it character and give them some silly dialogue and then feed them to the lion in a gory finale that just like any other in the genre . stoltz and richardson be quite good ( plus the first film john getz make a welcome return in a cameo role ) and and there be some effective moment here and there and but this be a totally pointless sequel and one that doesn not even come close to match the original .
