I thought Sharon Stone looked really great in the film.. Her appearance was not the film's major problem.. It was the plot, which was severely lacking.. It's obvious that Sharon did this for the greenbacks..
The best thing about the film was the sex scenes.. They turned me on, especially the scene where, Michael is having sex with the redhead (can't recall her name) from behind and he wraps her hair around his hand and pulls it.. Great scene!! The scene where Catherine straps the belt around Michael's neck during sex is great too.. All and all, the plot was just a rehashing of the first "Basic Instinct".. I didn't like the setting (London), because it seemed too dreary.. Part of the attraction of the first one, was the beautiful scenery and the San Francisco back drop.. This one, just felt claustophobic to me for some reason.. There were some fabulous looking scenes, but the cinematography didn't touch the first one.. Plus, Michael Douglass (Shooter) was a more worthy adversary for Catherine.. She played Michael lovely from the very beginning and he never really put up a fight.. In the first one, it was great to watch "Shooter" slowly lose himself in this woman.. He slowly reverted back to all the harmful and dangerous proclivities that got him in trouble to start with.. This "Basic Instinct" was kind of bland.. Glad I didn't see it in the theatres and waited for DVD, while I regretted not having the opportunity to see the first one at the movies.. I was too young back then and my parents would have never let me.. No need for a third installment..

Just to make clear - when I said she ain't pursuing a "20-year-old, mask-like visage" I really meant that she DOES look her age, just a bit, eh... enhanced. Y'know? I realize she's had some work done, but it looks (to me) all within reason and I don't agree that she has "porn actress boobs" or a "glazed look." Just a woman who's had some, er... "upkeep"...

As in the Smokey Robinson song "I've Made Love To Sharon Stone A Thousand Times,even if it was only in my mind"(unfortunately!) and I refer more to Sliver that Basic Instinct.Sliver was not a great movie,but she was sublime:sexy and innocent at the same time!
But more then 10 years are gone and she's no more a girl.
I've seen Basic Instinct 2 some days ago and it was worst I could imagine:the plot could work with a better direction,I didn't see Morrissey in other movies,but this one needed a more solid and famous actor to face Stone.But what made me really sad was Sharon's new breast:in many movies we have all seen her normal breast, subordinate to the gravity law,but in the Jacuzzi scene she seems to have change it with two great apples!
Sigh,sob,sigh:nothing last forever!

Can' t say the same. I paid to see this one, in the Movie theater and was mad nobody warned me beforehand. I never saw the first one because I was too young, at the time but everyone talked about it when the 2nd came out so I decided to see the 2nd at the movies. Later, I brought the 1st. She was mature, in the 1st. I don' t like to say old because by those standards, hey, I am old too. It is a stretch for me to see her being that kind of suductress, (at 40 plus) in the 2nd along with everything, everyone else points out about the plot. It only got a 3.7, on IMDB though. Do you guys agree?

Whuz up, chimein?? Yeah, you're right on all counts. I can't see this movie getting only a 3.7.. I'd have to say, it deserved a 5.0.. It was just okay!! Nothing spectacular and definitely worth renting rather than paying for at a cinema.. As I said, if not for the smokin' sex scenes, then my horny a$$ would have given it a donut sized, 0. The sex scenes are really good, but the plot is bland.. A rehash and lesser version of the first.. I didn't really get into it as a mystery, because the surprise factor was gone.
