One of my all time favorites.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

best movie i've ever seen.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Same mistakes as usualRoaring dinos without reason Exploding cars without reason Bad dramaturg Story is lame Action is presictable and stupidThe whole movie is a tipical spilbreg sh't

Making a follow-up to a masterpiece is no small feat, but who better to make a sequel to Spielberg's best film than Spielberg himself? Well, probably nobody but that just shows what a hard task this must have been. 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' is nowhere near as as good as the original. It's not even close. Spielberg's touches are evident in the film, however, and thankfully that means we get a few good sequences (such as the RV scene) that are genuinely tense, exciting and well-crafted. Unfortunately though, these sequences are few and far between, undermined by a seriously silly storyline and screenplay that make this film feel like a parody of the first. Having characters that use gymnastics to fight dinosaurs and ones that would rather accompany the same space as a T-Rex than a snake really highlight the shortcomings of the screenplay. Even Jeff Goldblum can't save this, mainly because the 'Ian Malcolm' in this film is completely different from that in the last. At least the visual effects are up to scratch again (except from the obvious control blatantly seen on one of the animatronic dinosaurs' legs) and the soundtrack by John Williams is good, without being a copy of the first films'. Overall, 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' is a massive let-down that, apart from everything else, is actually quite boring. 'Jurassic Park' is Spielberg's best film. 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' is one of his worst. 5/10.

This has to be the worst of SS's films. Where to start? First is the inclusion of an annoying stereotypical smartass teenage child who thinks she is smarter than the adults around her. I despise this in movies. I despise children in movies. Oh and she is an African-American indicating she is the product of an interracial coupling! Oooooooo so shocking and trendy!!!! In reality it is quite boring and dated. This child serves no purpose and adds nothing to the plot except to get in the way. I kept wishing she would be the first to be killed and eaten. This whole POS is just like a slasher film from the 80's. A whole new group of "actors" are brought on screen to be killed...but not the useless "lead" actors. Moore's performance was just awful. She comes off as an arrogant insufferable know it all who is more knowledgeable and better than those around her. All at once she is a dino doctor, a professional pharmacist for an extinct species, a sharp shooter, a survivalist, an animal rights advocate and extremist, mother figure, feminist, and on and on. I wanted her to be eaten ASAP. Goldblum just plays the same snarky ass character he plays in every movie. The whole goodie two shoes personae of the "good guys" is enough to give anyone loose bowels and projectile vomiting. The whole man bringing evil to animals sequences was better done in Avatar. How Vince Vaughn ever made it as an actor is a mystery. He is just a pudgy waste. Oh and let's not forget the whole trailer off the cliff. Very predictable. This waste was made just for the money. Even SS realized what a mess this was. It would have been better if he had them killed off. But no, the "leads" are immune. Again, the movie was awful, predictable and over 2 hours of life I will never get back. Avoid at all costs!

There's another island. Isla Sorna is where the dinosaurs were raised and also where a rich little girl wanders into a compsognathus attack. From this opening, you know that you're in for a much darker ride. It's one of those movies where kindly Spielberg decides that he should have made Night Skies instead of E.T. and indulges all the meanness he has festering inside upon his characters.John Hammond's nephew, Peter Ludlow is trying to use the island to fix the losses that Jurassic Park incurred. The old man has taken a dramatic change of heart, realizing that he should have never tried to open a theme park all those years ago and that these dinosaurs need to be protected. If you're kind of taken aback by all of the character flip-flops here, buckle up. You know - because guys in their seventies suddenly stop being capitalists and suddenly start caring for the common man, like Peter on the road to Damascus. It can happen.Ian Malcolm is the only one that comes back, save for cameos from his grandchildren. Turns out that Julianne Moore is in this, playing Ian's girlfriend Dr. Sarah Harding, and that she's already on the island. For the last four years, Ian has been discredited and disbarred for speaking out on Jurassic Park. The last thing he wants to do is go back, but to save the girl he loves, he has to.Ian joins the team of equipment guy Eddie Carr and documentarian Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn), as well as his daughter Kelly who has stowed away. Just as they catch up with Dr. Sarah, a whole new InGen squad shows up, made up of mercs and hunters. Chief amongst them are Pete Postlethwaite as Roland Tembo, a big game hunter who dreams of bagging a T. Rex, Fargo's Peter Stormare as Dieter Stark and Dr. Robert Burke, a dinosaur expert played by Thomas F. Duffy (the demeted Charles Wilson from Death Wish 2!).Tembo's plan is to tie up a baby T. Rex and use it to lure in the mother or father. And InGen wants to get as many dinosaurs as possible so they can open a new Jurassic Park in San Diego. None of these ideas are good and they blow up in everyone's face.There's a great moment in here where all of Malcolm's team's vehicles plunge off a cliff and some nifty action pieces, but it all feels rather disjointed. By the time everyone teams up and gets off the island, I was kind of hoping the film was over, only to learn there was so much more movie left. It's a very late 90's style of blockbuster - give it more running time and more story versus more thinking.At the end, the dinosaurs are placed in an animal preserve free from human interference. Hammond steals Malcolm's line, saying that "Life will find a way."Spielberg eventually said that he didn't enjoy making this film. It kind of shows. He stated, "I beat myself up... growing more and more impatient with myself... It made me wistful about doing a talking picture because sometimes I got the feeling I was just making this big silent-roar movie... I found myself saying, 'Is that all there is? It's not enough for me.'"
