Okay, it's awful. But I liked it. Stone "acts" (if you want to call it that) with a campy sneer as Morrissey heroically carries the movie. Rampling is a goddess.

Consensus: Unable to match the suspense and titilation of its predecessor, Basic Instinct 2 boasts a plot so ludicrous and predictable it borders on "so-bad-it's-good."
Theatrical Release:Mar 31, 2006 Wide
Box Office: $5,851,188
Synopsis: In BASIC INSTINCT 2, a sequel to the 1992 original, Sharon Stone resumes the role that first made her famous. Beautiful American author Catherine Tramell (Stone) is living in London when she is... [More]

Reviews for Basic Instinct 2
Campy melodrama fails to hold any interest 14 years later.
03/31/06
Basic Instinct 2, for all its implausible plot devices, poverty of motivation, occasionally lethargic pace and fragrant dialogue, is a subversive piece of cinema.
03/30/06
Top CriticLudicrously, hilariously entertaining.
03/31/06
jedan od rijetkih primjera kada je publika pokazala kako, za razliku od Hollywooda, ipak ima pojma o nekim stvarima
06/21/07
In a better movie, this grand-dame performance might have been fun, but it's surrounded here by an impossibly dull and unsatisfying whodunit plot and unintentionally funny dialogue.
03/30/06
Not without a lingering element of guilty pleasure but ultimately just another walk in the park for the mad dame Catherine.
03/29/06
Basically predictable.
04/04/06
Everything about this movie is bad.
05/06/06
If Paul Verhoeven's film was a potent if hard to swallow sex-and-blood pop cocktail, this London-set sequel is a cup of thin, tepid tea.
03/31/06
This film is unable to involve, entertain, or titillate. Basically, it stinks.
03/31/06
Top CriticPoor Sharon Stone. She's still big; it's the erotic thrillers that got small.
01/27/07
Basic Instinct 2 is trashy and stupid, and not really in a fun sort of way.
03/31/06
Vamp or mind-vampire, a stylishly empowered Stone distracts from incredulity until an ill-conceived climax drowns it in a British harbor of excess miscalculation.
04/10/06
Stone is simply awful, replacing the sexy insouciance from the first film with a beady stare that would seem more appropriate coming from a dead codfish than a calculating nympho adept at playing twisted mind games.
04/05/06
Absurdly overheated and unforgivably dull, Basic Instinct 2 is the accidental comedy sensation of the year to date.
03/31/06
Top CriticBI2 should have been a gloriously excessive collision between the lurid and the ludicrous.
03/31/06
Sure, the old broad looks pretty good in the film, but who wouldn't with fake boobs and a lacquer finish of make-up an inch thick?
03/31/06
It is said that the reason there were so many years between the first BASIC INSTINCT and its sequel is that Sharon Stone was waiting for just the right script. . . She didn't wait long enough.
04/01/06
Stone's vampy, thumb-on-the-turntable performance is the most hideous bit of creaky past-prime tarting-about since Mae West was dropping the same dusty come-ons.
