Review of The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) by Filipeneto — 12 Feb 2018

Uninteresting.

It is a sequel to the movie "Jurassic Park" and narrates a journey of a team of scientists and paleontologists to an island near the park, where they have build part of its scientific facilities, now abandoned and left to the dinosaurs. However, they will find another team of explorers with less scientific intentions. Directed by Steven Spielberg, this film has a screenplay by David Koepp, contrary to what happened in the first film, which Spielberg took on the role of screenwriter. The cast, however, remains more or less the same as the first film (except those who died in the first film, of course) and keeps a very interesting level and performance.

Many film experts say that sequels are rarely able to have the impact and the mystique of the first film. And if we analyze this case we see that they are right to say that. The change of writer caused a catastrophe in the film and doesn't allow it reaches a level similar to the first, ended up being a movie much less interesting and enjoyable, although it also have some positive notes in between. He even has perfectly boring scenes, virtually copied from the first film. The end, with an angry dinosaur in the middle of a city, is so far-fetched and predictable that turns out to be more appropriate for a "Godzilla" movie. Personally, I didn't feel surprised. It was a movie I saw, but didn't pay to see more often.
