Sexy star is Sharon Stone's most well-known name. If the word "sexy" is removed, her star will be devalued a lot. Sexy is the unique skill that enables her to have a huge appeal in the world. Over the years, there have been endless beauties, but few people can regret her status as the chief sexy superstar. It's a miracle that a movie "Instinct" can hold this woman to such a popular status and last for decades, but other than this movie, Sharon Stone really has few works that can be remembered . In most movies she's just a vase, but in Instinct she's the queen of everything, the unforgettable femme fatale Catherine.
For Sony Pictures to shoot the sequel to "Instinct" after 14 years, it is indeed a business move that makes people unpredictable. When the film "Instinct" became a hit, it did not seize the opportunity to earn a ticket, but instead It was only after 14 years that I thought of investing in a chance-based investment. What's more, let the sexy actress Sharon Stone continue to star in the film, which makes people feel more and more incredible. Although the film still hopes to borrow Sharon Stone's sexy signature, time has changed. Fourteen years of change is a snap of a finger. The thirty-four-year-old Stone has sexy capital, so who would expect her to have the same capital at the age of 48. Besides, there are already nude photos of Sharon Stone circulating on the Internet. The old age has already covered her body, all the extravagant hopes have been shattered to the ground, and the statue of the sexy goddess has collapsed. There is a fantasy, and there is an incredible faint.
And the ultra-low box office just proved this dizzy, and the unbelievably low box office revenue is very telling, and it shows that the film has been miscalculated from shooting to release. Generally speaking, if the promotion of the film is successful but the quality of the film is average, it can usually bring a good first-run box office, and it may fall back quickly in the later stage. The blockbuster "Wuji" released in China illustrates the power of propaganda. Although some people will scold it after watching it, people are still attracted to the cinema by the propaganda before watching it. The situation of the film "Instinct 2" was that it didn't get up from the beginning, and the premiere lacked audience support, which means that the promotion of the film did not work at all, and the audience simply did not buy the passion scenes mentioned in the promotion. Account, they had no hope for this "Instinct" sequel from the beginning. In fact, if the investor decides to change roles from the very beginning, perhaps the film may not suffer from this waterloo. Who would be willing to watch a 48-year-old actress in a sex scene, not to mention the fake use of a stand-in.
So apart from other factors, just as far as the film itself is concerned, the sequel "Instinct 2" can't compare with the first one. That year's film "Instinct" used Oscar winner Mike Douglas as the biggest selling point, and Sharon Stone was a surprise for the film, which became an instant hit. And "Instinct 2" is based on the aging Sharon Stone as a selling point, and the male protagonist is replaced by the British David Molise, but in the end David Molise failed to become the Sharons 14 years ago. pass, so the film became popular. The fate of the sequel is mostly bad, and most of the directors of the original work don't like to be in this mess, like Paul Verhoeven, the director of "Instinct". If the sequel film can't bring forth the new, the word-of-mouth will probably be difficult to surpass the first film. In fact, many filmmakers just regard the sequel as a money-making work. "Instinct 2" doesn't have much new ideas in the story. Basically, it still plays the routine in "Instinct", and the female femme writer writes books while killing people. Such a lack of novelty "Instinct 2" wants to attract the audience with a set played fourteen years ago, which is too underestimating the audience's IQ. In fact, "Instinct 2" is also incomparable to "Instinct", which lacks the closely intertwined pattern of eroticism and violence, suspense and fragrance in "Instinct". When watching "Instinct 2", you don't feel the tension of the interlocking links at all, and the whole process just feels like a long time. The success of "Instinct" does not depend only on Sharon Stone's undressing. The thrill and suspense of the film's plot is also an important element of success.
So let's take a look at the sexy and passionate scene that has always been the biggest selling point of the film "Instinct 2". Sharon Stone took this one step to the sky, and what about in the new sequel? Audiences who have spent a long time watching this film will find that everything is just selling dog meat. The passionate scenes in the film cannot be compared with "Instinct" at all, and the quality and quantity are much worse. Fourteen years ago, the bold erotic scenes in "Instinct" may have been a breakthrough at the time, but fourteen years later, I'm afraid it may not be able to shock the audience. After all, the audience has experienced more and more in the long years of fourteen years. More films that push the limits. As a sequel, "Instinct 2" has not even reached the level of fourteen years ago, and it can attract audiences with its false selling points. Although Sharon Stone maintains an excellent figure, she still has a charm in the film. She changed her sexy clothes awkwardly, and used lights, substitutes, and technology to cover up the traces of fourteen years of time. The Sharon Stone fourteen years ago will never come back. Youth can be delayed but not stopped.
The paleness of the story leads to the emptiness of the characters, and it is also an important reason for the failure of the film "Instinct 2". The characters and backgrounds of the characters in "Instinct" back then were quite rich, and the policeman Nick was in an emotionally unstable state due to his negligence in his work. In the sequel, the psychiatrist played by David Molise gradually fell into the trap of the female writer. There is no support, which is quite unconvincing, and the actor's own performance is also very flat. Mike Douglas was so impressive back then. To put it in a fair manner, although Sharon Stone is not as sexy as in the past, her art is not bad, and her performance in the sequel is also very sultry. It is a pity that her years have passed and she is powerless to return to the sky. The whole film makes people feel dizzy and a little confused, only at the end to give an answer with hypnotism, it is really hard to justify, it is too far-fetched.
A sequel film that lacks innovation, and at the same time fails in pre-publicity, is also unrealistic in terms of selling points, and has an unsatisfactory cast. So "Instinct 2" was doomed to fail from the very beginning. When everyone disliked such a sequel movie, Sony Pictures insisted on taking this step towards failure. I really don't know if it was because Too much money to invest in other films.
