Wonderful character development!

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This movie fails pretty much. It starts with playing around with medical terms and such but then it quickly turns into a scientific version of X-Men. It copies some elements from the first movie but its still hard to connect it to the first movie if not for the anti-Hippocrates. The anti-Hippocrates in this movie annoy me the most, they are supposed to be just normal scientists who want to experiment beyond ethical boundaries, thus achieving good for the humanity. In this movie they are nothing like that, they are evil bastards who want to do evil things! Still the major plot hole is that nearly all the disciples of this Charles guy are against killing someone for the good of science, but I thought that was the whole point of anti-Hippocrates?

Enjoyed viewing this German film and the very strange story about a young man who is studying to become a doctor and decides to get some intern work with poor people who are not able to afford medical services. This doctor hits it lucky and meets some very important doctors who are very famous and is accepted into their hospital. After being in the hospital for a brief period of time, he meets a young female doctor who asks him to strip naked and even grabs his private parts for a sex experiment. As the film progresses, there are very weird experiments performed and plenty of drugs are being used constantly through out this hospital. Some parts of the hospital are nothing but Butcher Shops with plenty of blood and gore, plus plenty of cuts being performed on human bodies. The only female in the picture is very hot to trot, but is very ugly and old.

Jo Hauser (Barnaby Metschurat), a new intern at a notable German hospital, suspects something's amiss with Proffesor Muller-LaRousse (Herbert Knaup), who is studying the use of bionic muscles in order to make superior humans, but not before getting addicted to the performance enhancing drugs. Well acted, but ultimately uninvolved, unexciting film that is way too generic for it's own good.Franka Potente has a very small cameo to drive up video sales.My Grade:D+ DVD Extras: Subtitled commentary by Director Stefan Ruzowitzky and actor Barnaby Metschurat; a 16 minute & 47 second Making of; 5 Deleted scenes with optional audio and video commentary; 3 Screen test comparison; Fimographies; Photo gallery; the poster artwork; an unsubtitled German Theatrical trailer and Trailers for "Anatomie", "Men of Respect", "Big Girls don't cry", "Identity", & "Darkness Falls"

I have read every comment posted in regards to Anatomie 2 and I am strapped to find a positive review of it. I do understand why people have not enjoyed this movie… but I don't know if those people really ‘got it'.Anatomie 2 is not trying to live up to it's predecessor, instead it is attempting to evolve to a grander more intelligent film. The first movie came directly to us via the Slasher Genre… this movie is presented as a more sophisticated Thriller. This also means that there is a great deal less of the gore fx.It is really good to see German films reaching a grand audience over the past few years. Once upon a time Wim Wnders was about the only name people knew from German films. Now we have so many great films from the Fatherland. Films like Run Lola Run, Anatomy and Goodbye Lenin! Hopefully none of them will be tainted by Hollywood remakes. I did not like this film nearly as much as the first Anatomie, however it doesn't deserve half of the back lash it has received. It still remains a great and suspenseful piece of German cinema. A lot less shock and gore, but probably more suspense and panic than part 1.. I give this movie 8 out of 10.
