Fun goreflick.

Rating: 7/10 (15 July 2004)

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS* Jeff Goldblum. What do you think when you read that name? Exactly. Mad scientist. Goldblum must be one of the most typecasted actors in the business and for a good reason. He just happens to be the best mad scientist there is.
I'm pretty sure that Goldblum hasn't done any better at doing what he does best than in "The Fly". Here he plays a pretty strange geek who invents a teleporter, doesn't sound like much fun but I can assure you it really is. He uses the teleporter on himself but a fly comes with him on the ride and his and the fly's genes connect and makes Goldblum to a flyman or something. The new fly-Goldblum gets supernatural strengths and even manages to get a girlfriend (the lovely Geena Davis) whom is pretty impressed by his endurance, but somethings going very wrong, very quickly.
This movie is probably not for wimps but everyone else is in for an exciting ride complete with cheesy settings that oozes monstermovies from the fifties and pretty full-on gore. This is by no means a masterpiece but it's damned good fun while it lasts.
Well worth checking out!
7/10
