First off, I really love the Fly 2. I also loved the original but there's something about this movie that I like more. I know not many people like it and it didn't live up to it's original but there's things about this movie that I like. It takes place in a lab and that's interesting to me since I like scientific settings. The 'Father-son relationship' between Martin and Bartok is really heart breaking and sad especially when you think about how much Martin really looked up to him and loved him as the father he was being to him. He even made the magic word DAD. I know Bartok is a complete monster but during their scenes when he's being nice to Martin, well if you didn't know he was the film's main villian than you would think he really cares for the boy or maybe he could have actually started to really like him but of course that's not what happened. Bartok was and will always be a complete and total monster and he gets exactly what he deserves in the end. Karma for what he made the poor Golden Retriever go through for two years. Golden Retriever- Martin finds this dog when he sneaks into Zone 4 and immediately befriends it. He talks to the dog because really, the dog was really the only friend young Martin really had. He even explains to the dog about his 'Accelerated Brundle Desease.' While he pets the retriever. One day the dog is transferred to Bay 17 to use as a test subject for the teleports which goes horribly wrong, leaving the dog deformed. Martin-Beth relationship- Now this is the only real human friend Martin made even though there's an obvious attraction between them. I really love their relationship and the part where he surprises her with the kitten. It was so cute. That same night the two become lovers in his Bungalow but before their new relationship can began, Beth is transfered to the day time shift in a building across from town. Security guard also hands her a security tape after telling her this is what she gets for F-ing around with Bartok's pet freak. When Martin finds out the truth about his condition and Bartok's true colors, he escapes and goes to Beth for help. I love how she tries everything she can do to help him which proves just how much she loves him. Things become to much for her as he gets worse so she calls Bartok and gives him their location. They have a happy ending once Martin takes Bartok to the telepods to cure himself. I also loved seeing the deleted and alternate ending scenes. Especially the part where Martin uses his fly spit on the car where some bratty little boys were making fun of his face and throwing things at his window. I also like to think that the House boat scene takes place after Bartok's karma. The special effects were great and the make up they used for Martin's transformations. They also talked about the Fly movies from the 1950's. I always wanted this movie so for me it was a REAL treat!Read full review

In this 1989 sequel to David Cronenberg's popular grotesque remake of the 1958 classic, the problems wrought by Seth Brundle's telepods are far from over. Veronica Quaife (now played by Saffron Henderson) dies giving birth to Seth's son, Martin. As it turns out, Martin was conceived by Veronica and Seth after Seth's accident with the telepod, so Martin has fly genes just like his dad. Bartok Science Industries, who funded Seth's work and were mentioned in the previous film, take custody of baby Martin after Veronica's death. They also acquire the two surviving telepods. Martin is raised by uncaring and callous Bartok employees, completely isolated from the rest of the world, as Bartok CEO Anton Bartok takes a "wait and see" stance on whether Martin will turn into a mutant fly creature like his father. In the meantime, they experiment with the telepods using a dog, with predictable results. Once he's a grown man, Martin is allowed more freedom around the facility so he can fix the malfunctioning telepods. His willingness to cooperate wanes after he finds out about the dog, though. He meets staffer Beth Logan and falls in love with her but a meddling Bartok puts the kibosh on their budding romance, though, by reassigning her to another building. At around this time Martin discovers he is indeed beginning to metamorphose into a fly monster like Seth, and his already thin patience with his hosts finally snaps after he learns Bartok wanted him to transform all along, so that they could experiment on him. Soon, Martin will complete his transformation, and when he does, nobody at Bartok Industries will be safe! Let the acid-spitting, blood-n-guts mutant fly rampage begin! This two-disc collector's edition DVD is chock full of extras (some would argue more extras than a mediocre sequel deserves!). First up is a commentary by director Chris Walas, who did the first film's special effects, and historian Bob Burns. They don't so much discuss the film as they do just talk about whatever comes to mind (it ranges from scene specific to general), but are engaging to listen to. On the second disc is an hour-long documentary narrated by Leonard Nimoy discussing the origins of the 1958 movie, the short story it was based on, and its two sequels The Return of the Fly and Curse of the Fly and the development of Cronenberg's film as well as this sequel. It's quite fascinating and nice to see that all of the movies, even the subpar sequels, are given equal attention. The third documentary is about the actual making of The Fly II and is much shorter, but just as interesting. There's also a deleted scene and an unused alternate ending. Neither are particularly interesting. While certainly not as meaningful and thematic as its predecessor, The Fly II is still a thoroughly enjoyable monster movie and the continuity it keeps with The Fly is commendable. A solid cast and some great, gruesome, gooey special effects make this a winner in the 80's horror genre. Special mention go to the disturbing scenes of a poor security guard having his face melted off, a guy getting his head crushed in a descending elevator, and of course the sad fate of that dog that went through the telepod. What a tearjerker that was. And I don't even like dogs!Read full review
One of the greatest displays of practical effects I've ever seen. It's hard to stomach plot makes the final 20min that much more amazing.

I have no complaints. The movie was dope. I love it. I'm a fan of the 80s so it was perfect for me and my mom.
