Well, I just beat it. And I think I liked it better than the first one, although I never did beat the final boss. I was pretty dissapointed with how unattractive Samus was though.
The movie is called Playing by Heart (1998) and there were a few big name stars in it like Sean Connery. My sister was in the club scene which was filmed at the Mayan Theater/Club. She was just an extra though.
