The Fly stands as David Cronenberg's biggest success at achieving both critical accolades and big box office receipts, and for good reason too-expertly crafted in every aspect, The Fly is Cronenberg at the top of his game and to this day...read the complete Fly, The (1986) review at DVDActive (Matt Joseph)

The Fly is a phenomenally well-made, exciting movie, light years ahead of the 1958 'original' of which this is only vaguely a remake....read the complete Fly, The (1986) review at Jigsaw Lounge (Neil Young)

A fine, scary performance from Jeff Goldblum as scientist Seth Brundle, who drunkenly spills the secret of his teleportation machine to journalist Geena Davis. They start a relationship, but then, in a jealous rage, Brundle takes a premature and...read the complete Fly, The (1986) review at CineScene.com (Richard Doyle)

The Fly 2 is a very good sequel, the dog scene is a gut wrencher. ...

The Fly is a classic movie- the original and the remake. The movie went by quick but at the end, I felt satisfied with this movie. Great speical effects. The Fly 2 was a excellent sequel. I cant understand why so many people hate this film. The story ...

These movies were just great, and brought back warm memories of my childhood. I was actually surprised to learn that I seemed to enjoy Fly 2 more than the first, even though it didn't even star Jeff Goldblum! Regardless, this is the movie you need to ...

I love The Fly.It happens to be one of my favorite science-fiction films of all time.The film is about an eager scientist named Seth Brundle,who has built a teleportation device,although he can't really transport living things yet.When he lets Veronica,a ...

Okay, you'll love both of these remakes. In the first part, Jeff Goldblum plays Seth Brundle a scientist who working on revolutionary invention that is suppose to change history. Well, it's a teleporter. Which teleport things . After he meets up with a ...

This boxset is fantastic it contains the classic and gory horror film The fly directed by David Cronenberg and its sequel which I thought was a great follow up although it does look alot cheaper then the previous film it was made with a low budget it ...

I don't know why so many Fly Fans are bashing Fly II? That's like bashing Alien II or Terminator II. The sequel starts out with irony and ends with irony (How ironic). Although Seth died tragically, I had higher hopes for his son, and the movie ...
by Movie Fan on June 11, 2005
And to think I was eating dinner when the fly was on the other night. I forgot how disgusting the scenes were. I don't remember the fly 2, but the fly isn't a bad movie, it's pretty old though and jeff goldblum has always been a great actor. I stomach ...
the gruesome and well writen remake of the origanal is specktacular. The film is more interesting then the origanal. I first viewed this specktacular film in 2004 I think. I thouht the performance given by Jeff goldblum was superb.I loved the "brndle ...
by sinisterfiend666 on April 20, 2005
With its fare share of violence and gross out FX, this is a beautifully morbid version of the fly that manages to grab on to you and never let go of your attention. Probably one of the best rolls Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis have every done. Awsome gore ...
