Review of The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) by Robinson2511 — 09 Aug 2015

After the brilliant Jurassic Park in 1993, it's surprising that it took them 4 years to make a sequel, and that sequel was The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and is it as good as the original? Oh hell no! It's not bad, it's just, ok for me.

the thing that really gets to me is the lack of dinosaurs, dinosaurs will randomly appear for a death or action scene, and then disappear, not to be seen until the next death or action scene, in the original, dinosaurs were something that were always there, not just a reason for the characters to get to their feet.

Talking of the characters, they're kinder bland, you have the bad guys, for the sake of having bad guys, the good guys for the action scenes, and the tag-along characters for someone to kill off or be rescued.

This film really lacks thrills and suspense, the only thrilling moments that come to mind are the trailer hanging of a cliff scene, and the San Diego scene at the end, apart from that the thrills a scarce throughout the film.

A lot of the scenes are rather unbelievable even for this series as is some of the acting, but Spielberg's direction is for the most part, top-notch. This film doesn't come close to the awesomeness of the first film, with it's lack of thrills, memorable characters and dinosaur action, but it's worth checking out at the very least.
