Loved it - does not deserve the criticism it got

TristanWhite from , 7th January, 2007

The critics tore it apart unjustly. God knows why - it really isn't that bad. It must have just been fashionable to ridicule it. The acting is good, London looks gorgeous as ever, and Sharon Stone is as sexy at 48 than she was in Basic Instinct 1 - possibly even sexier. Well, no, maybe that's stretching it a little far. Morrissey (from 'Blackpool') is very good too, as is Thewliss. OK some of the script is a little cringey and was clearly not written by a Brit, but this is a minor point. As a whodunnit, it's perfect. Keeps you guessing throughout, in the same style as Basic Instinct 1. What more do you possibly want? Citizen bloody Kane? What do you expect from a sequel to Basic Instinct 1, fourteen years on? Well to be honest, I didn't expect anything nearly as good as this. I was pleasantly surprised, and if you have an open mind, so will you too. Language can be a little fruity at times if that bothers you - but what film doesn't these days. Certainly didn't bother me, but I am sure it does some....

As good as the previous one

Carlos Annia from Scotland, 14th January, 2007

I really don't understand why the critic was that hard with this movie. I liked very much the first part and this second part is very good. Sharon Stone is even prettier than in the first one; the plot is maintain and both movies are related and continuing the main idea with the same intrigue; the production is marvelous, every detail was carefully watch and finally the city of London is taken in its very best views. To those who enjoyed Basic Instinct 1 definitely I recommend to watch this sequence.I really don't understand why the critic was that hard with this movie.
