The Fly II 1989I almost fell asleep, really, during the first half or maybe it was closer to two thirds. I dunno. Like it takes forever for this sucker to get going. Even then, don't ask me where it does go. Can you smell a bad review coming up? So anyway, the gal that got herself pregnant by the fly in the last one is now gonna deliver up a bouncing baby something or other. It's the other. And the other is, well, actually, I don't know what it is. But when they cut it open out pops a normal looking baby boy. Looks can be deceptive though. He's brought up in a loboratory enviornment under the watchful eye of Mr. Bartok who owns one of those big scientific companies where they're always doing weird stuff in their labs. This kid grows at an astonishing rate. So much so, that when he's five he looks like he's twenty. And smart, I mean this kid is smart, real smart. He's only got one problem though. He begins to look like daddy. He goes on the lam with his newly found girlfriend but ends up back at the lab. By this time he's a full fledged freakin' monster that bumps off a few of the folks that we knew were gonna get bumped off. As a last ditch effort he goes through the transporter with the not so kindly Mr. Bartock to see if he can get his ass back to resembling something human. Like I said, it's only the last part where this movie even starts
get in gear. But by that time I didn't care. I think it's about
time they put The Fly movies to bed.
