Species II (1998)

Worst Movie Ever?...not really but it's pretty close
This sequel to the 1995 smash hit species doesn't even come 1 inch close to its predecessor. The original is no masterpiece but this sequel becomes one cheesy parody of itself. Both Natasha Henstridge and Michael Madsen reprise their roles form the previous entry; but somehow it feels they just came for the paycheck. The acting is bad, and so is the dialog. The movie starts out pretty good with a mission to mars gone bad. But along the way it becomes so ridiculously stupid that the only way it can be enjoyed is to take it as a comedy. the only good thing this movie has to offer is the special-effects, which are pretty convincing but other than that this is just one major disappointment. Some people claim this is the worst movie ever... Well trust me there are much worse movies out there. Just watch uwe bowle or ulli llomel's films (if they can be called films) and you will se what bad really is. Anyhow this is a bad movie but can be enjoyed as a parody.

MY PERSONAL RATING 1 ½ OUT OF 5

Technical Defects Abound
I did not see the prequel and got this video at a garage sale. I was diappointed. The script had some technical defects, like the Eve being contained in isolation so that she avoids "contact with males" so as to not have her sexual nature stimulated, but she is allowed to watch the "Dukes of Hazard" on TV! There is also a scene where she breaks out of her confinement clearly wearing an item of clothes that does not appear in another scene and with no time in between to change her clothes to explain it (there is only a chase scene inbetween). It was also hard to believe that the main character could have his memory intact after his head gets blown off completely and a new head replaces it. I find it hard to suspend disbelief when these kinds of inconsistencies appear in a movie. It also makes me feel that some unnecessary sloppiness went into the production. The special effects were decent but very gory. There is something strangely comedic about the sexual scenes in the middle of all the gore and tentacles, but I do not think it was intended. If it was a comedy, the gore made it hard to take it on this level.

The movie director must have had some bad days.
My guess is, that the director has said, right before he started the movie; "Okay we have a okay budget, access to some.. sometimes okay special effects and some okay good actresses, but you have to do your job just as bad as the story is and if you have anything clever to say about making the movie good, then please leave".

I just don't get it! It would be so easy to make a good movie out of it! Well first of all, you probably have to a get little different version of the story and another movie director...but it would be so easy!

Just a thing like this! Eve want's to escape, so she jumps through the prison window. Okay Miss Eve is well powerfull, but she doesn't have to be, because it isn't made of bullet-proof Plexiglas. Nope, it explodes in thousands like very thin glass. Noooo it can be glass because they can't be so naïve in military security. But bullet-proof glass doesn't explode, so it must be a bad movie director!
