Michael M is correct...It was not too entertaining. Sharon Stone did not look too bad. (I think that she had plastic surgeries.)

Basic Instincts 1 was better. Michael Douglas character is more interesting than the guy in the sequel.

I had difficulty staying awake during the film. I had no such trouble when I first watched BASIC INSTINCTS ONE,back in my college days. My college showed it on a Friday night in an auditorium. I had to pay $2 to get in...

I wouldn't waste $ seeing it OR any film in the theater for that matter. I just got Narnia on DVD and need to watch it sometime.

Who is Sharon Stone?

"...for silly, crude sex scenes..."

Hmmmm. Crude sex scenes I understand. But, "silly" sex? Someone fill me in here. Am I missing out on something?

If it was so bad, why did he give it 1.5 stars? What's wrong with zero stars? Is he afraid to hurt someone's feelings?

"Silly sex", would be sex with a clown.
Or on the back of a moving donkey.
Not sure if such a scene is in the movie or not.

Great movie. Perfect for the family. Be aware that it's fairly long (2.5 hours?) I just remember it ran past the kid's bedtime and our youngest nearly fell asleep.

Sheesh, I bought King Kong too, and already watched that one... I thought the animation and CG was very good. That was pretty long also.

[rlmorel]

I liked King Kong as well, MUCH better than the original.

I find it entertaining when people INSIST that the original is ALWAYS better...not having seen Basic Instict 2...but come on...I can barely think about the original movie without laughing because of the parody in one of the "Naked Gun" movies...:)

I guess you save the zero stars rating for the truly horrible, such as "Istar", "Gigli" and "Showgirls"!

I highly recommend The Greatest Game Ever Played, a film for the entire family, which came out on video Tuesday.

"Who is Sharon Stone?"

My sons don't know either. They know Emme Rossum, Kirstan Dunst, Uma Thurman (who they think is getting a little old), but Sharon Stone is just an old lady.

Touted as someone special I think it great this movie tanked.
silly liberal bitch.

[Caipirabob]

Thanks!

Actually, "Showgirls" is a really bad movie that I would give 1.5 stars to anyway for...ahem...good cinematography.

hey, he did say she was some decent eye candy.

maybe thats it.

[RobbyS]

I would make one change: the dinosaur stampede. I found a lot of it implausible.

Or between Bill Clinton and his wife.
