Species II (1998)
1/10
Incredibly repetitive

Warning: Spoilers
Boobs are pretty cool but they get boring pretty quick as we're on the fifth random generic woman. Once the boobs get boring though, what's there left in this movie?

The two returning characters from the first aren't recognisable. Press went from being a straight forward enough lead who had good intentions to jusy trying desperately to be cool in every scene. Laura's new turn in being totally cool with experimenting on a young girl is just mental.

The alien resistance level just went wild. In the first movie they can be killed by being set on fire or shot. Now they're totally immortal and will come back after having their head blown off. Until it's the end of the movie and they "die" from getting raped or introduced to human diseases (which they would have from just being on the planet).

The movie is just very rapey in general which does mean the tits really aren't very interesting.

The characters are just all stupid as well. The main bad guy escapes because they had one guard on him and he literally just jogs out of the base. The female alien then escapes by just kind of running out the door herself. No one then checks if she is actually dead, leaves no guards on her and somehow she's pregnant (whilst dead) and gives birth as the cliff hanger, whilst also hanging out with another alien no one noticed.

The chase scene through the mall was incredibly slow paced and just makes the characters look stupid as they accidentally miss the alien raping a woman to go annoy some teenagers having sex before the alien decides to stop and hand himself in.

The creature effects at the end were good but dated but the end fight was over in seconds so it's such a small part of the movie I can't give it praise.
