Il mondo perduto - Jurassic Park

A jaded and determined Ian Malcolm goes on a mission to the island of Isla Sorna to save his daughter and girlfriend in Steven Spielberg's Solid and worthy follow up to his original Dinosaur classic. Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough and Julianne Moore rounds out a solid cast with Spielberg upping the terror and thrills department with a movie that has the scariest and most intense scenes in the entire "Jurassic" series. Goldblum once again is golden and Richard Attenborough shines is a minor role. The special effects are amazing and John Williams magic touch has not lost a beat since the original.

The Lost World takes place 4 years after the disaster in the original Jurassic Park with Ian Malcolm discovering from John Hammond that there is a second island full of dinosaurs waiting to be exploited by the New heads of Ingen. So with the help of his friends, Malcolm tries to stop them in order to keep the dinosaurs from not only being exploited but to save his girlfriend who is also on the island. With that action comes the danger and mayhem that you would expect from a sequel to Jurassic Park. Jeff Goldblum is great once again as Ian Malcolm and the new cast starting with Julianne Moore is good as well and the tension and action is up several notches from the original Jurassic Park. While the novelty of the original is gone, Spielberg's magic is still evident and it still delivers. Too bad we never got a good follow up to this film because the next film in the series (Jurassic Park 3) begins the horrible nose dive in quality for this series leading into the terrible Jurassic World Trilogy.

Steven Spielberg's solid sequel lacks the sense of wonder and imagination of his original film (Jurassic Park) but it still carries its sense of heart, intelligence and amazing special effects. Jeff Goldblem , Richard Attenborough, Pete Postlethwaite and Julianne Moore rounds out the solid cast with some of the best chills and thrills of the entire series. The special effects are even better this time around and the Dino carnage this film has not been duplicated since. 8/10.

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.

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.
