Rating: Summary: Already Saw It Review: Let's see, a group of explorers investigate reports of monster-like creatures on a remote tropical island. After discovering the creatures, greedy capitalists decide to capture one and take it back to the United States for display (and profit). Once back in a major American city, the captured monster escapes and wreaks havoc upon the city's buildings and inhabitants. Only the intrepid couple who originally discovered the monster can overcome it and save the city. Hmmmm, let's see, where have we seen this before? Could it be, oh, I don't know, perhaps, KING KONG! Talk about an original premise.
Rating: Summary: Give 'em lots of dinos. That's what they want, ain't it? Review: Is any further proof needed that Hollywood today is populated by people with no imagination whatsoever. Nobody can even think up original names for films, it seems. This has nothing to do with Conan Doyle's timelessly wonderful epic. Neither has it very much to do with Michael Crichton's highly readable follow-up to his excellent book 'Jurassic Park'. Things start well, with some gritty direction, and strong characters are played by Jeff Goldblum and Pete Postlethwaite. There is also a mildly interesting plot about a ruthless organization attempting to abduct the dinosaurs and a few humorous scenes involving a send-up of Robert Bakker. But they're soon lost in the avalanche of special effects and one chase scene after another. Admittedly the special effects are as good as before and there are a few genuinely suspenceful scenes, but most of it seems to be played for laughs. There's no sense of awe and wonder, the dinosaurs just being taken for granted. Halfway through the film I had completely lost interest. And as for the final T-Rex scene - it's just a joke. A 50-foot long, 18 foot tall dinosaur stomping through the middle of a densely-populated city and hardly being noticed? Worth going to see for the special effects, but this is one of those all-too-common sequels which is about money rather than quality.
Rating: Summary: Great, but Book is better Review: This movie was another outstanding achievement, woth a whole lot more action. However, it has nothing in common with Michael Crichton's novel, "The Lost World," which is what this moie really should have followed. While the book is better, the sequel to one of the greatest film achievements of all time shouldn't be overlooked by anyone.
Rating: Summary: Do you smell that? Review: A horrific adaption to Chrighton's brilliant novel. This could have been much, much more. The novel's intelligence can't be found in this mess. Expect someone to die every five minutes in the second half. Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: weakest entry of all Review: The book is better. All it was was a big special effects show
Rating: Summary: An insult to Michael Crichton Review: I am very disapointed in this excuse for a movie based on a book. The book is a great example of Michael Crichtons amazing work, but this movie takes all that and tosses it out. It depresses me to know that people would see the movie without reading the book. When someone hears "The Lost World" Michael Crichton should come into mind, not Universal Studios. It contradicts so many points in the book it is offensive. Sure the visual effects are good, but so what? That's all nothing without a friggin plot. If you see this move, please, for Crichtons sake, read the book first.
Rating: Summary: The worst sequel ever made. Review: In '96 or '97 I had to do a book report for school. The book that I choose was The Lost World: Jurassic Park, it was a great book. However when I heard that were turning it into a movie I was excited. Then I saw the movie comercials, and I noticed that there were at least a hundred more people in it than the book, they probably didn't talk or any thing but needless to say I was dissapointed. So that pretty much decided for me that I wouldn't see it in the theatres. I came out on video, I reluclently decided to rent, I started watching it with low expectations, but it was worse then I coud ever of imagined. First of all Malcom had no daughter, he was never married or otherwise. Secondly there was no team sent to capture the dinosaurs, the people that were there were three Italian mobsters that had been paid to retrive eggs for some scientist guy, they died. And last but not least, third, more than one kid stowed away in the trailer it was actually two seventh graders who Levin (Vince Vaughn I think) was forced to teach in Palo Alto because he was going 70 in a school zone. The Lost World came off like a bunch of CGI's thrown together to apease the absent minded 10 and 11 year olds just to buy sell the toys. The first was a marvel, that made me think and hope the people would win. The second was a disaster that Steven Spielberg should be ashmed of, but he's not, because he got paid.
