Even for a Species film this is nonsense, 28 February 2006
4/10
Author: mutty_mcflea from Bristol, UK

'This isn't The X Files!' says one character in 'Species II'. No sh*t, mate. For the first hour this is nothing but clumsy set up in which characters explain exactly what's happening so that all the viewers who only turned up for the nudity don't get confused, and the rest of the plot is a reheated mish-mash of the previous movie and a bunch of ideas nicked from the 'Alien' series. Like the original, this is a top-shelf humpathon that somehow made it into cinemas, but the first one was at least fun, despite being a load of old rubbish at heart. This is just bad. The dialogue's terrible, resulting in the kind of performances delivered by returning suckers Michael Madsen and Marg Helgenberger, while Natasha Henstridge gets to do nothing but sit in a box until the last 10 minutes, when she takes off her clothes. A few neat ideas are spewed out towards the end, and they should have served as the basis for the entire film rather than remaining an afterthought leading to another sequel teaser.
