Its very forgettable by Bakuryuu Tyranno (England)  2 Stars
August 02, 2006
There's nothing in this film to make it memorable. At the same time, however, it's not bad enough to be memorable either.
One different thing though is that it takes place on a boat on which scientists are conducting some manner of experiments, resulting in title creatures. The heroes are a couple who end up on this boat because... I don't remember...
This does present one problem though. Aside from the leads, everyone else is a "bad guy", so... it doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out how things work out in the end.,

Why Spiders 2 Sucked ass by Ted E. Kissel (Greencastle IN) 2 Stars
February 23, 2006
The first Spiders was great it really kept me on the edge of my seat and I have to say that the monster was well created. But this movie was horrible you never hear any thing about the spiders until the middle of the film and when you do actually see the spiders it is on a huge boat. OK huge spiders on a huge boat, that's about as bad as you can get it's so fake. They should have gone back to the jungle like they did in the first spiders

What drove me the craziest about this movie? by TrezKu13 (Norfolk, VA)  1 Stars
October 24, 2005
Do you know that generic door sound? That creaky, quick sound like a vault door opening up? This movie uses it. Ever time a door opens. For every door. Normal door, elevator door, oven door. Through out the whole movie.
They would have had more dignity using the AIM sound file.
Oh yeah, there's also bad writing, bad acting, and a generic evil scientist plot. Not worth your time. Not that a movie called "Spiders 2" would enthrall any one.

It's really not that terrible by Bud Bundy (MN USA)  3 Stars
August 05, 2004
This movie doesn't have anything to do with the first Spiders, but that's okay with me. It's about a couple that are shipwrecked, and picked up by another ship. The husband is ill, and the ship's doctor is giving him drugs to, supposedly, cure him. He starts to suspect something odd is going on aboard the ship, but his wife won't believe him (because maybe he's hallucinating from the drugs you know). Basically, the captain of the ship is trying to woo her away from her husband. There is some good chemistry between the wife and the ship's captain, and I found that part of the movie to be pretty good. As far as the spiders, that whole plot line is almost an afterthought. About two thirds of the movie goes by without them even being involved. And the special effects aren't very special at all. They're pretty bad.
But, all in all, the plot kept me at least vaguely interested and the characters were really quite good. I'd watch it again if I was bored and there wasn't anything else on.

Really lousy by Dr. Christopher Coleman (HONG KONG) 1 Stars
February 14, 2004
I haven't seen Spiders 1, so I can't compare it to its sequel, but for its sake I hope that the old saw about a sequel being worse than the original is true. Spiders 2 was awful. Terrible. Stupid. Poorly acted. Badly written. Unimaginative. Even badly lit.Now, granted, a B (or C or D) movie like this isn't going to have a plot out of Shakespeare, but why not have a story that makes a modicum of sense? There are so many flaws I can't possibly enumerate them all, but here are a few: Spiders 2 takes place on a cargo ship containing a secret lab in which spider and human DNA has been combined--what better place than a ship rolling on the high seas to have a lab full of glassware for experimentation? Human DNA does nothing but make the spiders supersized, like a McDonald's Value Meal--there are no hideous human/spider creatures (think The Fly or Alien Resurrection), just big bugs. At the end of the movie a truly gigantic spider as wide as the entire ship and ten times larger than the human sized spiders we'd seen before emerges--where this beast could have been throughout the rest of the film we have no idea, and it does nothing more than go down with the ship. In the final scene, guys in the rescue helicopter drop a hand grenade down to the heroine, who's holding on to her husband with one hand, being pulled down by a giant spider on one leg, with the wash of the helicopter rotor affecting her from above and the motion of the sea on the crate the spider is in from below--and she catches it one handed. Sign the girl up as an outfielder in the big leagues! Even the shoes the heroine wears are stupid--she was rescued from a sailboat where she'd undoubtedly be wearing deck shoes, and we're told that she's the only woman on board so the clothes they give her will probably be too big for her (fortunately, they aren't, and the tank top she wears is quite fetching)--where did the pumps with two inch heels come from? Is the ship not only infested with giant spiders, but also drag queens? Hmm, come to think of it, that would have made a better movie. There are a few decent special effects, but some really awful ones. Frankly, much of the film looks like what my son did when he was about five years old, playing with his rubber toys. The only two reasons to see this are if you think it's campy enough to be funny (maybe, especially if you're influenced by hallucinogenic substances, but remember, the drag queens were my idea) or if you've got the hots for Stephanie Niznik. She's a fox, but can't save the film for me. Better spend your money on Deep Rising, a terrific, scary, funny film with another gorgeous heroine.
