Wow! Such a good movie.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The Anti-Hippocratic Society is back and they are continuing to experiment on human test subjects. The problem is that their concern isn't so much for any patients as it is for notoriety. To conceal their experiments, "Professor Charles Muller-LaRouse" (Herbert Knaup) has his young proteges experiment on themselves. Again and again. And when they are no longer useful he disposes of them. It is at this time that a young intern named "Jo Hauser" (Barnaby Metschurat) joins the medical center. Because his younger brother "Willi Hauser" (Hanno Koffler) suffers from a debilitating neurological disease he becomes very interested in their research. But he joins not realizing the full facts and the dangers involved. At any rate, rather than give away any of the mysteries or ruin the suspense I will just say that this movie progresses in a logical and dark manner. Good performances were done by all but I especially liked the aforementioned Barnaby Metshurat along with Rosie Alvarez ("Lee") and Heike Makatsch ("Viktoria") as the good and bad female love interests respectfully. All things said and done, this is not a bad sequel and I believe if you liked the first movie then you will probably like this one as well.
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?
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"

"Anatomy 2" is a deceptive and forgettable story with total lack of credibility. The participation of Franka Potente is ridiculous, only to give her name to the credits and to attract her fans. The implausible story is very imbecile, but anyway if the viewer shutdown the brain, the film entertains. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Anatomia 2" ("Anatomy 2")
