not as good as all the hype

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The Fly II The worst insect you genes can be spliced with would be one that loves feces. And while the adolescent in this horror movie isn't part dung beetle, he is half housefly. Raised in a government laboratory ever since he first emerged from a larval pouch five years ago, Martin (Eric Stoltz) now appears to be a full-grown adult. On his 5th birthday, he learns his inventor father (Jeff Goldblum) died after a teleportation experiment fused his DNA with that of a fly's. As Martin repairs his old man's telepods he too begins to mutate into an acid-spewing insect. A direct sequel to David Cronenberg's 1986 reimagining of the 1958 original, this 1989 follow-up does not retain its visionary director but it does manage to amplify the gore. In fact, this underrated addition has a number of unforgettable death scenes. Incidentally, human-fly hybrids never get invented to parties where there's uncovered food. Yellow Light

***No SPOILERS***This movie has it's own great story, script, great acting & atmosphere. It's definitely better movie than the first one. Surprised? Let me explain:First movie is good directed(thanks to Cronenberg), well acted(Jeff Goldblum + Gena Davis) mainly horror focused movie. Story is lack of surprises. You can see how it ends from almost the start of the movie. But nice horror movie, lack of science fiction.Fly 2 is more sci-fi movie. It lacks horror but gives depth to the story & characters. Ending was really unexpected & nice. If you see first one & expect more violence or horror, don't. See it as individual sci-fi movie. What I really liked about this movie was corrupted people & society. It was so realistic & unexpected.If you love sci-fi genre & like horror, definitely watch this.Thanks for reading.

What this film did was make me very uncomfortable. That dog scene, really, was that necessary? Haven't the writers ever had a pet that needed put down? Don't you know how bad that feels? Well, this movie brought back all those Awful memories. After that dog scene, I really didn't give a damn what happened to any of the characters in this movie. I'll never watch it again. I don't give too many movies bad reviews, but this one made me feel bad long, LONG after I saw it. All I could think of was the face of every pet I ever had to put down. I don't expect every movie to be a feel-good experience, but this movie was the equivalent of taking a family with a son in a Turkish prison to see Midnight Express.

Eric Stoltz, Daphne Zuniga, Lee Richardson and John Getz star in this 1989 sci-fi/horror sequel. This begins with woman, Veronica (Originally played by Geena Davis) dying after giving birth to a baby. Soon, we meet the child, Martin Brundle (Stoltz) who is not only very intelligent, but ages rapidly because of his late, father, Seth (Jeff Goldblum). Richardson plays businessman, Anton Bartok who adopts Martin and is head of company, Bartok Industries. Soon, Martin learns about his father, his research and that he's inherited his insect genes trying to find a cure. He also discovers that Bartok is corrupt and using him to continue his father's work. Zuniga (Spaceballs) plays Martin's love-interest, Beth Logan and Getz returns briefly as Stathis Borans who is now crippled. This isn't a bad sequel that's underrated, Stoltz is great in it, Chris Walas' make-up effects are grotesquely good and Christopher Young's score is great as usual. I recommend this.
