Is Basic Instinct 2 worth buying? I heard it wasn't very good????

Answer 1

Upon release the film found little praise from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, a film review collection website, the film earned a 6% fresh rating, meaning that out of 105 reviews, only 7 were favourable. Although some critics approved of Stone's performance, it was the film's plot that became the main target of criticism. The film also suffered from comparison to the first Basic Instinct, which was more popular with critics.

The film made a small debut and in its first weekend of release in the United States, accumulating $3,201,420, placing it 10th in top grossing movies of the weekend. Many considered this to fall very short of expectations, though the film did have a lot of competition with Ice Age: The Meltdown opening the same weekend, as well as films like V for Vendetta and Inside Man which were still in their first few weeks of their release.

The film found more success outside the United States, earning over 32 million, giving Basic Instinct 2 a worldwide theatrical gross of nearly 39 million.

While the movie flopped at the American box office and made only a moderate dent in European cinemas, it was a surprise success on DVD and video. Its first week of release (starting July 11, 2006), it topped the DVD sales charts, as well as the Amazon.com list. And in U.S. rentals alone, the film has collected nearly $30 million.

A quick check of online sites shows the DVD is available for as little as ~$10 ($7 plus $3 for shipping). Is it worth buying? Sorry, only you can judge. For myself, I liked the first one and did not buy the second.
