Good sequel., 1 JANUÁR 2004
6/10
Author: Scott LeBrun from Winnipeg, Canada

The offspring of deceased scientist Seth Brundle is growing up at an accelerated rate, and after reaching the human age of five but looking much older, starts the inevitable metamorphosis into an upright walking fly creature that seeks revenge on the two-faced, rotten scientists who pretended to be his friends.

The child, named Martin by the scientists, is played at different ages by Matthew Moore, Harley Cross, and Eric Stoltz. At five Martin also finds his first love interest, a lovely night shift computer file clerk played by Daphne Zuniga.

I thought it was a fairly intense and entertaining creature feature even if debuting director Chris Walas, creator/designer of the special effects, is not in the same league as David Cronenberg. I think it could have been worse. Performances are reasonably good, even if the villains are one-note and unimaginative.

Probably what I got more out of it than anything else was a certain visceral pleasure in seeing a bunch of jerks and otherwise expendable characters get their just desserts.

Not as good as the first movie but not that bad either.

6/10
