"The Lost World" is one of those sequels that, while never quite reaching the impact or magic of the original, still delivers enough tension, visual spectacle, and dino-driven chaos to justify its existence. Steven Spielberg returns to the director's chair with a darker, more visceral approach, opting for a faster-paced narrative that leans into constant danger and a more direct critique of corporate greed-though, in doing so, it sacrifices some of the charm and elegance that made the first film so iconic. This is a follow-up that goes big: more dinosaurs, more characters, more destruction. It's not always refined, but it's visually bold and unapologetically wild.

David Koepp's script expands the "Jurassic Park" universe by introducing a second island, Isla Sorna-the dinosaurs' original breeding ground before they were transferred to the park. The premise-pitting a team sent to document the animals in their natural habitat against another looking to exploit them commercially-is solid on paper, but stumbles in execution. The tonal balance is shaky, bouncing between genuine suspense, half-baked environmental commentary, and awkwardly timed jokes. There's a bloated second act that slows things down, but when the movie fully embraces the chaos, especially during the big set pieces, it finds its rhythm and delivers what it promises: high-octane, prehistoric adrenaline.

As expected, the action sequences are where the film shines brightest, and Spielberg proves yet again he's a master of spectacle. The cliffside trailer attack, with the T-Rex parents tearing through metal to save their baby, is a masterclass in tension and disaster choreography. The Velociraptor ambush in the tall grass is another standout-a nearly wordless, visually stunning slice of horror that builds dread through composition and pacing. And of course, the San Diego climax, as ridiculous as it sounds on paper, works in its own way-it leans into the absurd and gives us a mini "Godzilla" moment inside the franchise. It's unexpected, messy fun that somehow just fits.

Visually, "The Lost World" keeps the high standard set by its predecessor. The mix of animatronics and CGI still works well, even if the computer effects are more noticeable this time around. There's a tactile quality to the dinosaurs that feels far more real than most modern creature features. The Stegosaurus scene early on is a great example: they're majestic and intimidating, and the sense of scale is genuinely awe-inspiring. The jungle cinematography adds an organic depth to the setting, especially when contrasted with the colder, artificial vibe of the urban park in the third act. John Williams' score may not be as instantly iconic here, but it's still effective-more tribal and percussion-heavy, it fits the wild, unpredictable tone of the sequel.

On the character front, the spotlight shifts to Ian Malcolm, now taking center stage instead of just offering cynical quips from the sidelines. Jeff Goldblum carries the film with his signature charisma and urgency, though turning him into a full-blown action hero sometimes feels like a stretch. Julianne Moore's Sarah Harding is capable but lacks spark, and her constant refusal to leave the island defies logic more than once. Other characters, like the morally ambiguous hunter Roland Tembo (Pete Postlethwaite), the functional-but-forgettable Kelly (Vanessa Chester), and the well-meaning activist Nick (Vince Vaughn), range from mildly engaging to completely disposable. The villain, Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard), is a paper-thin caricature of corporate greed-more metaphor than actual threat.

Despite its flaws, "The Lost World" isn't a total misfire. It's a sequel that flickers with brilliance, weighed down mostly by the impossible task of following a masterpiece. But it still delivers a grand-scale adventure packed with intense moments and jaw-dropping sequences. It expands the universe decently, introduces some memorable new dinosaurs, and shows Spielberg clearly having a blast with a more destructive, pessimistic tone. It's a film that tries to turn the wonder of the first movie into a meditation on the collapse of human intentions when faced with nature-and in doing so, it gets a little lost between commentary, chaos, and popcorn fun. Still, for fans of the franchise and anyone who grew up wide-eyed at the sight of these creatures, "The Lost World" is an imperfect but enjoyable ride through a jungle full of prehistoric thrills.

Steven Spielberg returned to direct this sequel,(loosely) based on the Michael Crichton novel that sees Jeff Goldblum returning as Dr. Ian Malcolm, who is enlisted by John Hammond(Richard Attenborough again) to return to Jurassic Park(though on previously unmentioned Site B) to study the dinosaur population, and also to rescue another team, which includes a former flame of his(played by Julianne Moore). He reluctantly agrees, and after locating her, finds to their disgust that the company INGEN has allowed hunting parties to take place, where big-game hunters(led by Pete Postlethwaite) stalk and kill dinosaurs, though the tables would of course be turned...

Good sequel has equally effective F/X and terrifying story, though a few too many characters; the twist toward the end is surprising and entertaining, though some poor editing leaves a big plot hole aboard the discovered freighter...still, a worthy sequel that holds up today.

My Rating: *** out of ****.

I dont understand all the horrible reviews for this film. Sure not a great film, but definitely a good, entertaining movie. I enjoyed it just as much as the first Jurassic Park.

The Lost World still contains impressive, eye popping effects. These are just as flawless as the CGI as the first Jurassic Parks. There are more dinosaurs and they all look great. The film contains more action than the first and its all exciting. One scene that stands out is the scene with the Raptors in the fields. I love the way Spielberg shot it.

This is not a big acting movie, but its not that bad. Jeff Goldblum is good as Ian Malcolm, but had a little more energy in the first one. Julianne Moore is adequate but looks a bit uncomfortable at times. Vanessa Lee Chester is better than the other kids in the last film. The rest of the acting is adequate.

Many people thought this film was redundant of the first. I wouldnt call it redundant but it is a little bit too familiar in areas. The Lost World takes place in a different area but it is not much different from the first one. However, it is an entertaining movie. The action overshadows the story.

The big problem I have with The Lost World is the ending. It doesnt make sense how The T-Rex got loose. Its also a King Kong Rip-Off. Its visually stunning looking, the TREX doesnt look out of place at all. But it was showing CGI instead of doing something with the story. Nevertheless, even with its flaws The Lost World is entertaining and not worthy of its horrible reviews.

Jurassic Park II, officially known as The Lost World: Jurassic Park, takes audiences back into the dinosaur-laden world that captivated viewers in the original film. Directed by Steven Spielberg, this sequel shifts the focus to Isla Sorna, the island where dinosaurs were originally bred before being moved to Jurassic Park.

The story follows Dr. Ian Malcolm, who returns to lead a team of experts sent to document the dinosaurs in their natural habitat. As they venture deeper into the island, they encounter a variety of prehistoric creatures, some familiar and some new, all while grappling with the ethical implications of their presence. The stakes escalate when a rescue mission turns dangerous, leading to thrilling encounters that highlight both the wonder and peril of these magnificent creatures.

While Jurassic Park II features stunning visual effects and intense action sequences, it does not quite capture the groundbreaking storytelling and suspense of its predecessor. The character development feels less robust, and some plot points lack the same depth that made the first film so compelling.

Despite these shortcomings, there are exhilarating moments that showcase the film's ambition and the awe of the dinosaurs. The film still delivers entertainment and excitement for fans of the franchise, even if it doesn't reach the heights of the original. Jurassic Park II is a worthy addition to the series but ultimately leaves viewers longing for the magic of the first film.

Okay, the best Jurassic Park is obviously Jurassic Park. It was the most faithful to the fantastic Michael Critchton books, plus it was well done. As a sequel, The Lost World does just fine. Of course, I'm used to seeing horrible sequels all the time. Jeff Goldblum does a good job reprising his role as Ian Malcolm, and the newcomers of Julianne Moore and Vince Vaughn do well too. The story is a little unbelievable, though. After recently being replaced by his nephew as CEO of InGen, John Hammond(Richard Attenburough) reveals to Ian Malcolm(Goldblum) a site B: A place where dinosaurs run free. He sends him and his girlfriend, Sarah Harding(Moore), technology expert Eddie Carr(Richard Schiff) and photographer Nick Van Owen(Vaughn) to document the dinosaurs, while the official InGen team, led by Roland Tembo(Pete Postlethwaite), tries to capture the T. Rex and transport it to San Diego. As always, there is many bone-crunching deaths, the Special FX are excellent, but the story and plot fall a a bit short. Overall: 7/10

The second movie in the jurassic franchise is almost as good as it can be. It offers more amazing and beautiful dinosaur action, tense and scary sequences for our cast to overcome and survive, the downside to the movie, which is only a small nitpick, is a few corny scenes that made me raise an eyebrow.

True to Steven Spielberg's talent, the movie is beautifully shot, offering spectacular imagery of our favorite dinosaurs. Spielberg also captures the scary and terrifying aspects of the dinosaurs, just like in the first movie. He brings you on the edge of your seat with tense and nerve wrenching sequences.

The cast feels a little smaller in this movie compared to the first movie, with more forgettable side characters instead of memorable supporting characters. The main cast does however have a great screen presence and easily holds up the movie. Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore and Vanessa Chester all have good chemistry on screen and delivers a solid performance.

The Lost World is the sequel to the 1993 classic Jurassic Park. Whilst this film is not as good as the original it does stand up well as a sequel. Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm. Malcolm has been asked to return to another Island were Dinosaurs have been allowed to live without cages. Malcolm refuses but when he finds out his paleontolagist girlfriend is already there he goes with a team of documentariens to rescue her. However several accidents ensue and they are left stranded on the Island with a second party. The film does not have the all round strength of the first and is far more dependant on thrills and its visual effects this time round. It does however succeed as good entertainment and its better than the third installment in the franchise by quite a bit. The Dino sequences are handled well with the Raptors in the long grass being the highlight of those and quite possibly the entire film. The T-rex features strongly again ( and this time there's two of them) along with a new and nasty little green dinosaur compsagnathus. The acting is'nt Oscar worthy or anything like it but the characters do have some charm and when they are put in danger you care what happens to them which is always a good sign. It does suffer a little from a bloated and anti climatic ending that is funny for about 2 minutes but I wont spoil it for you none the less. I give the Lost World its high rating because it does exactly what it sets out to do, entertain us. So I think its fair we overlook some of its flaws as with any kind of blockbuster sequel they are always there.

The first Jurassic Park film worked because it focused on the morality of the entire situation, with the dinosaurs playing a supporting role (though quite a large one, considering the incredible visual effects). Unfortunately, the sequel does not hold true to this formula, and instead has idiotic characters doing inane tasks, all the while showcasing the roaring dinos and, in the end, turning into little more than Godzilla.

For a basic plot summary, "The Lost World" reveals the existence of another island, not disclosed in the original, where the dinosaurs were originally "bred" and now live in their own contained environment. Of course, bloodthirsty, money-hungry poaches are out to destroy the ecological paradise, so Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), the only significant character to reprise his role from the original, and girlfriend Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore) are sent in to investigate. As expected, things go awry and a certain key species of the dinosauric terrors ends up a bit close to home for comfort.

The trouble with this film is that it has absolutely no semblance of a plot. None whatsoever. Whereas the original really inspired viewers to think about the morality at stake in Dr. Hammond's experiments, this sequel only focuses on the "oohs" and "aahs" at the incredibly life-life dinosaurs to be had by potential viewers. In fact, by the end of the film, the script has devolved into nothing better than King Kong or Godzilla fare.

That being said, I will give this film two stars instead of one because, gosh darn it, those dinos ARE pretty impressive! Though a bit of the "wow" factor has worn off since the first installment, when the T-Rex roars or the Velociraptors begin preying, the hair on the back of your neck will stand up once again. I honestly don't know if the effects could be any better, even in today's Hollywood.

Overall, though, this is a terribly constructed sequel that focuses on all the wrong things. It opened to tremendous hype and made a lot of money initially, but the passage of time has shown it to be quite subpar. I'm amazed that a film directed by a legend such as Steven Spielberg could turn out so vapid.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an above average sequel. I just saw it for the third time and I will still continue to fight for it. The script (although containing flaws) is a billion times better than its sequel, Jurassic Park 3. When I look back at the three times I've seen it (Theater, VHS, DVD) I saw very few flaws in an overall exciting movie. The biggest flaw is that the "wonder and amazement" were at a low level. This is mainly because we were exposed to it in the first film and it is hard to keep things fresh. Other than that, this film is one of the better sequels ever. Great action and adventure, (3 of 4 stars)

My family and I decided to watch this movie after enjoying the first, and this one was ***awful***. I've seen a lot of movies recently, and this has been one of the worst.

We spent the entire two hours laughing at it because of how bad it was.

The biggest issue is that this movie is entirely based on stupid self proclaimed "scientists" making stupid decisions so they end up in danger.

Every few minutes another character makes another choice that defies all logic and then it's "here we go again..."

Don't get me started on the action scenes. There was one particular scene where a character was hanging off of a roof with one hand whilst throwing tiles from the roof onto a raptor down below with the other hand. The hell are roof tiles gonna do to a velociraptor? There was another raptor on the roof with her.... Oh, and she made it out alive.

That's because all of the main characters in this film keep surviving against all odds despite the awful decisions they make.

Honestly, you want them to die by the end of the film.

Don't give in to the stupidity of this movie. Don't waste two hours of your life on this rotten excuse for a sequel.

The mercenaries make the movie more interesting with their sort of disregard for the dinosaurs, seeing them as only monetary assets. The movie makes use of the different things that made the first one stand out. More animatronics, more CGI, more dinosaurs, more suspense, more action. There's some pretty great intense moments, the way they set up the scenes really makes it memorable. The animatronics look really good, especially with the T-Rex's. The only thing is the story and ideas aren't as captivating and interesting as the first movie. There's also a couple of dumb things that happen and things that characters do. Like why would they park the RV bus next to a cliff? I also don't know why the T-Rex's had to do Eddie like that when he was just trying to help out the team. The Japanese businessmen running away was a nice funny touch. I feel like the movie focuses more on creating specific scenes that you remember rather than a great story and characters. Still, pretty damn entertaining. Raw score: 7.0/10.

Jurassic Park: The lost world is a science fiction action adventure movie directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Late Pete Postlethwaite, Arliss Howard, Vince Vaughn and Vanessa Lee Chester.

This movie is second movie in Jurassic Park Franchise.

After watching the first movie I was quite excited and hopeful towards this movie but was quite disappointed after reading the reviews but after watching this movie I must say that instead of going after reviews you should watch the movie first and judge because for me the movie is made decently.

The plot of the movie is different from the previous one and has a decent execution. The best part of the movie is that you don't have to wait for long to see the dinosaurs as they are introduced quite early in comparison to it's first part.

Acting is great and all the characters had done a decent job. Screenplay of the movie is good but it starts getting bore and slow in between but tightens the grip as the movie approaches to it's climax.

VFX and cinematography is good and climax is also good although could've been little shorter and crispier. Background music is decent.

This movie stands nowhere in the comparison of it's first part but still the movie has enough ingredients to keep you entertained. Watch it yourself to judge the movie. It's a decent one time watch.

I grew up watching the first two Jurassic Park movies and I was crazy about dinosaurs as a kid and I used to have lots and lots of dinosaur toys. The first Jurassic Park movie is a classic and is up there as one of Steven Spielberg's best who also one of my favourite directors.

But what I can't understand is why a lot of people didn't like The Lost World - Jurassic Park. I mean sure it may not be as good as the first one and it has flaws and plot holes and some cheesy dialogue. But I mean even the first movie had flaws, plot holes and cheesy dialogue as well. But I think The Lost World deserves more credit because it has more characters, more action and more dinosaurs. And I also thought Jeff Goldblum did just as good a job as the main protagonist as Sam Neill did.

I also can't believe that this movie was nominated for multiple Razzies including Worst Screenplay and Worst Sequel. I mean I can understand why bad movies like Con Air or Batman & Robin for nominated for Razzies but The Lost World just didn't because those movies were far worse.

While it does not quite capture the magic in the bottle like the original Jurassic Park, The Lost World is still one hell of a film and a very worthy sequel to the original. A returning Jeff Goldblum and a new cast bring their A game to this movie which manages to be even scarier in certain scenes and more action oriented than the original. John Williams score never disappoints, and Stan Winston's once again delivers the dinosaurs goods with even better special effects. Sadly, the series started to go down hill with Jurassic Park 3, and freefalling into the Jurassic World Trilogy. Despite the fall in quality for the Jurassic films , The Lost World still remains the only sequel in the series that keeps the quality of the original and deserves to sit next to it.

I don't hate this movie, don't get me wrong. It still holds some of the magic that this franchise offers. But, I will admit, this wasn't Spielberg's best effort. He and sequels don't seem to get along very well, why? Wouldn't it seem he could make a good sequel if he does so well on the original? Well, he didn't. The choices he made for the film are strange. In the first film we are in a park for the vast majority of it. In this it's in a city? I like the gutsy choice, and the massive chance to use special effects, and he actually does a good job. It doesn't feel fake, but its just the execution that doesn't work. And is it me or does the casting for these fluctuate so much? Why isn't Sam Neill in this, what happened to his character? Obviously he's alive because he appears in the third film. What, did he take a vacation? This is never explained. And we are left with Jeff um uh uh Goldblum. And instead of Dr. Sattler, we get a very young Julianne Moore. And the black girl, was totally useless. As a whole the characters seem to change out so much, its mindboggling. This film is a mess and didn't need to happen. Now to grade. Directing: C+ Characters: C- Special Effects: B Music: B- Story: C+ Dinosaurs: B+ Overall: C

This film is great, the chases, the characters, the scale, especially that scene where the InGen team drive below the dinosaurs.

This film is much bigger in stakes than the original, especially the climax in San Diego, which is great too.

The scenes in which the characters get attacked by the dinosaurs, I always remember the line "Don't go into the long grass!" and the tone in which it was said since I was 6.

Many people say this film is bad, simply because it isn't the original, of course it is not, but it doesn't make it a bad film, it makes it an inferior but great film, which can exist when comparing a sequel with the best film of all time.

After the massive success of Jurassic Park, it was pretty clear that a sequel wouldn't be 65 million years in the making; but just because it had less time to evolve doesn't excuse the fact that The Lost World is a sloppy piece of movie-making.

Jeff Goldblum returns as eccentric mathematician Ian Malcolm, who travels to dinosaur infested island 'site B' to rescue his researcher girlfriend Sarah Harding (no, not the one from Girls Aloud, but rather the lovely Julianne Moore) who has gone to study the scientifically engineered prehistoric creatures not quite appreciating the dangers she will face.

What follows is often spectacular, and sometimes downright brilliant (best bit: Moore falling on to the slowly cracking windshield of a truck suspended hundreds of feet above jagged rocks), but any flashes of genius from director Steven Spielberg are easily negated by some of the dumbest plot developments and unintentionally funny bits it has been my displeasure to witness in a big-budget blockbuster.

For starters, there is Malcolm's (African-American?!?!) daughter Kelly (Vanessa Lee Chester), who stows on board her father's high tech truck in order to lend the film some kiddy appeal. She provides the film with its most ridiculous moment when she puts her gymnastic skills (conveniently mentioned early on in the film to set up this particular scene) into practise by swinging on some makeshift uneven bars and dismounting with enough force to kick a velociraptor to its death.

And she's almost as dreadful in the part where good old T-Rex sticks its huge head into her tent, and she wakes up to ask 'What is that?'. Take a wild guess, sweetie!

Then there's the gob-smackingly silly scene where one character is so scared of the snake that slithers into his shirt that he'd rather leave the safety of a cave and be eaten by the dinosaur that has been waiting outside. And let's not forget the fact that a captured T-Rex manages to escape from its cage on a boat, eat everyone on board, and then get trapped back in the hold. Or the daft ending, which has Malcolm and Harding lure the king of the tyrant lizards, fresh from a Godzilla style rampage, back into captivity by using its baby as bait.

With all this unintentional hilarity, The Lost World can only be seen as a major disappointment, but I suppose we should at least be grateful that there wasn't a nuclear-blast proof fridge in the film, 'cos that would be really stupid!

A lot of people love to criticize JP3 for a number of reasons, like repeating the last movie or hyping up the Spinosaur so much but in my personal opinion, I think JP3 captures that "theme park movie" feel much better than The Lost World does.

For one thing, this is a much darker film. I don't just mean how most of the movie takes place at night, but the while the body-count in the original was merely implied, we never really got to see the carnage - in fact, I think there were only three people we saw dying on screen, and not only that, but there were only four confirmed kills in the whole movie. Meanwhile there are dozens of people slaughtered in this film quite explicitly - not necessarily bloody, but it's quite obvious those guys didn't make it. The deaths in the original film, when they did happen on-screen, were relatively quick and didn't linger; meanwhile, some of the deaths in this film are rather drawn-out and even taunt the viewer with the possibility that the character might actually make it, only for them to die horribly. There's also the aspect of the "cold corporate greed" which reduces John Hammond to a bit part, and makes InGen far more villainous than Dennis Nedry could ever dream of being. I suppose there is some conservationist argument that could be made that makes so many of the victims supposedly less sympathetic, but outside of like one guy who faces a very ironic fate, most of them just struck me as guys doing a job and most certainly didn't deserve their fates.

Then there's a couple of really gaping plot holes without any good explanation for them that really strike as deliberately done just so the plot could proceed in a specific way, such as a character who gets a whole establishing scene to show us he knows his profession, ignoring a pretty massive Chekhov's gun - and you can't even just pretend he missed it, because he's the one who draws attention to it! So after a lot of plot contrivances and characters acting like idiots, the only scene I actually liked in the whole film was the animal control department vehicle speeding away from the scene, which is still funny to this day. A glimmer light in this terribly mediocre sequel, I suppose.

If you want to see a bunch of humans eaten and mauled by Dinosaurs than this is the movie for you.

Steven Spielberg and Dinosaurs so what could go wrong. A lot it seems. When we watch a movie like this, the first thing we demand from the film is people behaving logically. Movies like this go off the rails when people start to do dumb things in deadly serious situations. Hitchcock knew this, his characters are put into similarly intense situations and always act accordingly. They get frightened when the moment calls for it and they immediately try to save their own skin when things get really tough.

The second thing we want from a movie like this is the good guys have a fighting chance and even the misguided guys have a fighting chance, This movie in delights in killing off people it deems deserve to die, and even a few who don't, as if to show the Dinosaurs like storms or natural disasters do not care who is good or who is bad. And the humans just have no chance to fight back, we wait for the moment when they do, but it doesn't happen because its not suppose to happen.

The worst aspect of this film is that humans always seem to be stopped from fighting back against the Dinosaurs, it's OK for the Dinosaurs to kill the humans because -hey they shouldn't mess with them. But Spielberg seems to be adamant that there should be no pleasure taken in humans killing Dinosaurs no matter how many people they kill. So the movie basically turns into a rather unpleasant kill fest.

As for Spielberg; The master seems a little off form here, i would say he is uninspired by the lousy script, but he does give the cinematic world two great scenes. One where our 3 heroes must escape a trailer that us being pushed off a cliff by the dinosaurs in the middle of a rain storm. One of the best things he has ever done. And the spectacle of T-Rex running wild through modern day San Diego.

There is a weird cruelty that runs through this movie, which is strange for a Spielberg movie and strange just for any movie that hopes to be popular entertainment. Which is best observed by the death of one of the few likable and pragmatic characters in the movie: Eddie Carr. Who dies while he is heroically trying to rescue the three people in the trailer. His death casts a pall over the movie. This is the problem with this film, its lack of heart and the human touch. Watching people murdered by Dinosaurs isn't really as much fun as it sounds. humans fighting back against dinosaurs and winning would have been more interesting but somebody took the bullets out of the guns, and fun out of this movie.
