| | Species II |
 | | With few exceptions, sequels tend to be worse than the films that spawned them, but the fact that Species II is a follow-up isn't the only reason it's so miserable. |
 | | It's the predictable storyline, the cardboard characters, the banal dialogue, the failed attempts at humor, the revolting special effects, the gratuitous nudity (all female, of course), the bad acting, and the bland direction. |
 | | The plot, simply geared at getting the alien species back on planet earth so that it can reak some more havoc, involves three astronauts landing on Mars and inadvertently bringing some alien slime in a soil sample back aboard their shuttle. |
