Black Scorpion II: Aftershock Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Clevercell Very disappointing...
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews If you've seen or are planning to see this film, chances are you've already seen the first. If not, I suggest you go see that, even if you only have the chance to see one of them. It's better and it basically lays the foundation for this film. This has more silliness and less style than the first, and one will be hard pressed to find someone, somewhere who wouldn't rather have seen the first, if given the choice(if the popularity-based ratings are anything to go by, at least). The plot is, much like the first, very simplistic and formulaic. It's pretty much ripped straight out of a 60's superhero comic book. The characters, most of them returning from the first film, continue to be comic relief and clichés, and a few of them, as little development as they have(in the first) actually go backwards as far as that goes. The villains both lack the originality of the one of the first film; both are rather obviously rip-offs of famous superhero villains(or super-villains, for short). The humor goes more towards the silly and campy, something the first one started nicely on. Fewer one-liners, unfortunately. The action is decent enough... it's slightly larger in scale than that of the first, but its uninspired filming costs a lot of intensity. There is more direct T&A in this installment, to appease the young males in the audience. Most of it is just there, for no actual reason, making it stand out embarrassingly. The dialog is poor, both as far as writing and delivery goes. The script has its share of clichés, but judging from the overall tone(and my experience with films that Roger Corman is involved in making), I would wager that it's fully intentional. All in all, an entertaining and fairly worthy followup to Black Scorpion. I recommend this to fans of the first and of comic book movies in general. I urge anyone to watch the first before trying their luck with this, though, and if you don't like what you see in that one, don't bother with this one. It's just more of the same. 5/10
lotsafun This cheesy B movie is fun stuff! You'll either love it or hate it. I adored it. Fans of B movies and Roger Corman movies might enjoy it the most. I've shared my Black Scorpion DVDs with friends and we've all enjoyed them. The two films and the TV show are a blast! The Gangsta Pranksta has to be seen to be believed folks! Joan Severance is lovely as Darcy Walker/ The Black Scorpion. There's also a promo on this DVD hosted by Adam West that takes an inside look at the Black Scorpion TV show. This is a fun DVD. I LOVED IT! Pop some corn and settle back. This is great popcorn fun! Ms Severance: You really know how to wear a mask! The way you smoke a cigar takes my breath away! GREAT JOB!
gcronau This movie has some good elements and some bad elements.The good: Watching Joan Severance.The bad: Everything else.If it's 3:30am and you can't sleep, and there's nothing else on but infomercials, this movie still isn't really worth watching. The plot is lame, the characters are absurd and barely 2 dimensional, the situation is absurd, and the writing is adolescent. The main villian gave a new definition and dimension to the concept of "stupid". To say it was "comic-book-like" would be an insult to comic books. The only good thing about it was watching Joan, and even then I prefered her when she was in street clothes, her black scorpian outfit was one of the least flattering female "super hero" costumes I've ever seen. She has great eyes and the mask covered those. Even her dialog was cliched and silly. Watch only if it's late, you can't sleep, and there's *nothing* else on. Turn the sound off. Watch until you experience unconsciousness. 1 out of 10.
culwin Wow.This was so awful I just don't know what to say.I'm amazed that anyone involved with this actually used their real names. I know it's tough to be a struggling actor but man, what were they thinking?I don't even want to think about the fact that someone "wrote" this.I'm going to stay away from the TV for a few days now.
