Il mondo perduto - Jurassic Park

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.

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.

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.

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.
