I watched Basic Instinct 2 last night, but I couldn't decide what to rate it. A part of me believes it wasn't worthy of 3 stars but another part feels that it was. The debate for me boils down to whether a good/decent movie is a movie that makes me feel any emotion whether that be happiness/sadness/anger/frustation or any other emotion. The problem with that logic is that clearly crappy movies annoy me for wasting time watching them, but this movie isn't as cut and dry.
The movie itself was a decent psychological thriller with a decent story, I would have preferred more T&A but I am a dude what can I say. :-) The main problem was how easily manipulated the main character was. He did absolutely everything that I would not have done..(well almost everything..hehe) and that annoyed me for about half the movie. I still kept watching it though as I wanted to see how it would turn out.
So the question is: do I let a flimsy character who did everything wrong within the narrative ruin the rating of the movie (2 stars) or do I give it 3 stars because his weakness of character annoyed me and I became emotionally involved in his story.
I shall ponder...
I do rather enjoy the cover.
