THE PLOT:

Four years later, the son of Seth Brundle and Veronica Quaife is already grown up, because his father's murtation has passed down to him. Now Martin Brundle must use his Father's research, reinvent the telepods and try to cure himself before fate turns him into a BrundleFly. But Barok the head of the company sponsering the research wants the transformation to accure for some unknown evil reason and wants the telepods as a weapon.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

I think I liked this one even better then the first. The creature effects were much better, I liked the characters even better. Even the ending without spoling it, is much better. I think that this is a superior movie to the first. But still no wings? Were fly wings that hard to make in the eighties?
I GIVE IT...9 STARS

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agreed with Zedd, this is a far better movie then the first. I did miss Geena Davis though. I think it would have been nice to seen Mother and Son together, even if only in one scene. The wing thing didn't bug me as much as it did Zedd but the evil Bartok did, I mean how did that slime bag think hw was going to get away with that? Anyway I agree with Zedd on this.
I ALSO GIVE IT...9 STARS

ON THE POSITVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ BETTER STORY (A plausable continuation from the first)
+ JEFF GOLDBLUM (It was good to Goldblum if only in a photograph)
+ BETTER CREATURE EFFECTS (The animatronics in this one if perfect, even if it doesn't have the wings)
+ BETTER ENDING (Without giving it away, I did not see it coming)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- STILL NO WINGS (What's up with the lack of fly wings in this series?)
- NO GEENA DAVIS (Instead of writting her out, it would have been nice after Martin escaped Bartok he and his girlfriend run to Mommy for help)

And Finally:

- GROSS (There is a face melting scene that is not for the weak stomach)
