Boba_Fett1138 Does this movie even has anything to do with the first one? Well, not really. Franka Potente is in it again but her role is no more than a small cameo. The movie itself follows different characters and a totally different story this time, which is actually a positive thing, until its last third came along.I was actually very pleased with the movie at first and thought it was a much better movie than the first one. Thing that it did way better was that it wasn't trying to be an horror movie this time but instead went with a more thriller and even science-fiction type of approach. It suited the concept, story and atmosphere of the movie well and it made it way more pleasant to watch and follow, compared to the first movie.So what went wrong? It actually was the final third of the movie that almost completely ruined the movie for me. The movie suddenly started to take such a ridicules approach with its story that I suddenly felt detached from anything to was happening in the story and from all of its characters. I won't say that it ruined the movie completely but it did ruin a lot for me.Another thing that the movie did not handled very well was its main character. Problem I had with him was that in the first half of the movie or so he was still involved with the 'bad guys' and kept working with them, even though as a viewer you of course already know that these are the 'bad guys' and no good will come from their experiments. Thing is, he stayed involved- and friendly with them for far too long, so when he finally starts to turn his back on them and fight back, it feels a bit forced and somewhat unlikely even. It doesn't even really make sense once you start thinking about it. He could had so easily gone to the police or some of his superiors at the hospital and all of the mayhem would had stopped immediately. Instead he puts his own life and that of others on the line, to put a halt to things.It's so disappointing, since the movie was well on its way to become a way better movie than its predecessor and a pretty good movie of its own. Now I really wouldn't rate it much better than the first one and I'm glad there isn't a third movie (yet).5/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
Mark Honhorst Here's a movie that attempts to give up in depth characters and suspense throughout. The only problem is, it has way too much character info/background and suspense! It actually has too few scenes of action and horror to keep me interested, which resulted in me having to try three times to watch this film before actually finishing it. I mean, I like to know a little something about the characters in a horror movie I'm going to watch, but I want there to be enough scenes of horror to keep it going! Scenes where things actually happen are few and far between, resulting in boredom. And boy do I hate a movie that lies to you about it's cast! It shows Franka Potente from the first (and far superior) film, on the side and back of the cover, and the movie makes you think she's the star, but she's really only in it for a few scenes. Anyway, the movie is about a young doctor who joins a secret society, only to find out it is being run by a mad doctor who is replacing people's real muscles with artificial ones. It sounds interesting, and it kind of is, if you can get through it's endless scenes of so called character development and exposition.
Roland E. Zwick From Dr. Frankenstein to Dr. Mengele, Germany has developed quite a reputation for…hmm.. how shall we put it?…"unconventional" men of science.It's appropriate, then, that the German film "Anatomy 2" should be a brave-new-world sci-fi thriller that deals with the issues of biomedical ethics and just how far science should be allowed to go in trying to "improve" on Mother Nature.Professor Muller-LaRousse is a world famous neurosurgeon who has been covertly conducting questionable experiments, implanting synthetic muscles into perfectly healthy young men and women (who also happen to be his devoted interns). Even though a disturbing number of these "guinea pigs" have died as a result of the procedures, LaRousse forges on, undeterred and undaunted, convinced - as any mad scientist worth his salt would be - that scientific advancement cannot be allowed to run aground on the shoals of a few trivial dead bodies. His plan is to create some sort of "master race" of invincible semi-humans. Jo Hauser is a promising young doctor who has come to Berlin to work and study under LaRousse, confident that he will be able to make a real difference not only in the lives of others but particularly in the life of his younger brother who has fallen victim to a degenerative neurological disorder. Filled with idealism, Jo allows himself to be pulled into LaRousse's group of sycophantic acolytes, perhaps to his everlasting regret.The film is obviously intended as a modern day allegory of Nazism - what with its emphasis on group-think, unethical medical experimentation and talk about creating a "master race" - but the movie feels just too much like other - and better - dystopian sci-fi fantasies to be very effective. The intriguing medical ethics issues are eventually shunted aside for a series of protracted action scenes overflowing with typical mad scientist malarkey and man-on-the-run clichés.That's a shame because the movie starts off with a better-than-average premise that promises a thoughtful re-examination of an age-old theme. However, "Anatomy 2" just winds up being silly where it most desperately needs to be serious.
Kosinus the first one was great (a common sequel-problem...?)... this time it's a different approach to tell the story: more action, which results in fast cuts and steady-cam... but also in a lack of time to explain all reused elements from the first one (good!) and to introduce them (very bad!). The main characters are too stereotyped and don't show enough plausible development... at least it isn't boring for a second but it could have been done much better...
