Spoiler:

..this is definitely a movie which I wouldn't have re-watched if it hadn't been for the movie club..not because it's not a great movie but more because of the horror element of it and horror movies not being my thing generally...I am though really glad that I watched it again and thoroughly enjoyed it...Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis are delightful and perfect as the doomed lovers..(although I question her sense in going back to his apartment in the first place, when she didn't know him../silly, silly....)..Geena just always seems to glide effortlessly through in the movies she's in and Jeff hams it up beautifully in contrast, so they're a perfect pairing...although the special effects are probably quite basic by today's standards, I still found the Fly mutant completely terrifying...the arm wrestling bit was grim, as was the bit were he regurgitated on the editor guy to dissolve him into nice bite-size portions...

..anyways, a really good watch/a really horrific watch and one of the best re-makes of any movie, I think...so a buzzin' 8/10 and thank you for the choice, Jon....because I would never have re-watched this otherwise and am glad I did...

I disagree with you saying the special effects are basic by todays standards, I actually found them amazing effects, much better then todays forced CGI effects. I pretty much agree with you, great film to watch, I remember enjoying it before, but this was like 7 years ago now, and I am glad I rewatched it. Gina Davis is a great actress in this, and the melting scene was corny but great to watch. 4/5 for me. Only criticism is that I foolish made a salad during my view and of course while eating it, the scene of him throwing up acid and making the boss guys hand and foot melt was shown
