    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.

    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.

    I really enjoyed this movie

    Honestly, I really enjoyed this movie, and I felt it kept the same adventurous spirit as the first one. The story is a bit different, but I liked how they returned to the island, and the dinosaur scenes were very exciting.

    The chase and tension scenes were on point, especially the T-Rex rampaging in the city-I felt both excitement and fear at the same time. The visual effects still look strong even today, and the film holds up well.

    The characters came back with great presence, especially Malcolm, who brought his serious attitude and those sarcastic moments I liked.

    For me, the movie kept the fun and energy of the series and gave me the same feeling I had with 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.

    Underrated

    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.

    Above Average Sequel

    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)

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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.
