| Species II Review |
| by James Sanford |
| Sex equals death. That's the cardinal rule of slasher movies,
and it's in full effect in ``Species II,'' a worthless follow-up to
the 1995 hit, which was notable primarily for the presence of the
decidedly uninhibited Natasha Henstridge as an...more |

| More of a soft-core porno than a sci-fi thriller, Species II fails to
live up to its predecessor in terms of story, direction or amount of
nudity. And let’s face it, the bar wasn’t really set that high to begin
with. Errr…except for the latter. more |

| Species II Review |
| by Joe Chamberlain |
| I'm going to start right out by saying that Species II is not as good as the
first movie. The story is good, the acting is good, and the special effects
are better than the first Species, but Species II seems to lack something.
Oh I know, it must be the...more |

| Species II Review |
| by David N. Butterworth |
| With few exceptions, sequels tend to be worse than the films that
spawned them, but the fact that "Species II" is a follow-up isn't the only
reason it's so miserable. It's the predictable storyline, the cardboard
characters, the banal dialogue, the...more |

| You'll notice that there's a "minus" sign in front of my one-star rating of
SPECIES II. This is deliberate: normally, the lowest I go for any movie is
"no stars", meaning that I was not only unentertained, but offended as well. more |
| Species II Review |

| My son and I share a perverse predilection for bad movies. We are amused and
entertained by the cheap thrills, the corny dialog, the ludicrous premises
and the bad acting. Since other family members aspire to higher forms of
entertainment, we usually...more |

| Species II Review |
| by Michael Dequina |
| Despite its exceedingly well-done visual effects, 1995's original Species
was one big hunk of sci-fi cheese, from the writing to the feeble
performances. So, coming from such B-grade roots, its sequel's stunning
ineptitude is not terribly surprising,...more |

| Here is a film that is so unexpected, so scary, and so original that it

original, considering it is a sequel to the box office hit SPECIES, but
it certainly is smart. Most films of this...more |
