    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' is lauded for its thrilling action, impressive effects, and Jeff Goldblum's return. The darker tone and dinosaur behavior exploration are appreciated. However, critics cite weak characters, a convoluted plot, and repetitive elements from the original. Inconsistencies and unrealistic scenarios, especially in the final act, are noted. Despite flaws, it is seen as an entertaining sequel offering fun and excitement.

    Very good sequel

    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.

    A decent sequel!!

    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.

    A Thrilling Ride

    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.

    Part II.

    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.

    An excellent continuation of the Jurassic franchise.

    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.

    • Trivia
      Julianne Moore admitted that she did this movie for two reasons, to pay off the exorbitant divorce settlement that had been awarded to her ex-husband, and to work with Steven Spielberg and she's admitted that she "enjoyed herself tremendously."
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 50 mins) After Ian and Sarah have the infant T-Rex in the back seat of the red convertible, as Ian turns into the gas station, in Ian's rear-view mirror you can see a brief reflection of Steven Spielberg with baseball cap directing the scene.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Ian Malcolm: Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.

    • Crazy credits
      David Koepp is listed as the "unlucky bastard" because he was eaten by the T-Rex. Koepp wrote the screenplay.
    • Alternate versions
      The Fox television network's version (aired on November 1st, 1998) includes two scenes not in the theatrical cut (see Trivia section). The first scene is an InGen meeting between Ludlow and InGen representatives, and takes place in between the opening Compy attack sequence and the Hammond scene. It contains exposition about what aftereffects the events of the first film had on InGen, and how Ludlow is taking over control of the company from Hammond. The second is in between the Hammond scene and the mission-prep scene with Eddie Carr. Set in Mombasa, it introduces Roland Tembo and Ajay Sidhu and makes it clear they have a long history working together. Both deleted scenes are included as special features on the DVD and Blu-ray, but are not integrated into the film.
