Not as good as the first movie but this movie has a lot of things that I liked so yeah.

It's a given that this will not be anywhere near as great as Cronenberg's 'The Fly', but this film doesn't set it's sights that high. The purpose of this sequel is to be a good old fashioned horror flick, like the monster movies of the 50's. And it really does succeed on that level. Though, there is more story and gore here than those films and it's much closer in tone to the first. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Ok, before I get started on The Fly 2, bear in mind that this is not based on comparison to the Cronenberg masterpiece, but rather how the film The Fly 2 stands on its own. It opens up with a very graphic birth of Martin Brundle, who has many complications, and the death of Veronic Quaife(formerly played by Geena Davis). Martin Brundle ages extremely quickly and by the age of five he looks as if he's thirty. He is also a genius. The general plot of the movie is that his new father who adopted him is using him solely to follow his father's footsteps both in making teleportation possible and in becoming terribly mutated. It seems that he is interested in both experementing on him and in displaying to the public. Anyway, the movie seemed to start out pretty interesting and I was glad to see …
