Le Monde perdu : Jurassic Park

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.

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.

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.

The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) is one of those movies where I don't fully understand the hate for it and maybe that's because I watched it a lot as a kid. Now as an adult, I still really enjoy this movie even with its flaws.

Positives for The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997): You still get the fun adventure side of the original movie in this sequel while setting it on a different island. It was great to see Jeff Goldblum back as Ian Malcolm and aa the main character of this movie. I liked the new cast with Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite, Arliss Howard, Vince Vaughn and Vanessa Lee Chester and they are all fantastic with their performances. The animatronics and CGI for the various dinosaurs look awesome and they still hold up to this day. There are some awesome set pieces in the island and in San Diego. And finally, the movie has an excellent pace that kept me invested while I was watching the movie.

Negatives for The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997): There are a couple of moments where things don't make any sense and the biggest plot hole is the one where the crew members of the boat holding the Tyrannosaurus Rex are killed off screen, but there wasn't any other dinosaur on board.

Overall, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) is a fantastic and underrated sequel in the Jurassic Park franchise even with its major issues.

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.
