Summary: downright terrible, a disgrace to...well, movies altogether
Review: This movie was downright awful. All it was was a special effects vehicle in which we could be treated to watching dinosaurs attack for 2 hours. There was no plot whatsoever. The book and the movie have no relationship whatsoever. The book had a plot. The movie did not. I fail to see why this movie made that much money. I could give a **** about special effects. Give me something interesting like Apt Pupil or Star Wars over this anyday!

Summary: The world that should have Stayed Lost!
Review: What happened here?!?!?! What once was arguably the best sci-fi book ever written was translated into...this! It is sad to see how a great plot can be mutilated into a bunch of childish nonsense! Sure, it has its moments. The trailer scene is great,but only because of good directing by Spielberg. Everything else is special effects and the writers thinking "Let's see how much we can scare 'em!" Well, not much. Still,it will do great with the kids, and is a good idea for your 10 year old's B-day present. Otherwise, just not worth the money.

Summary: Great special effects, nothing else.
Review: The special effects in Lost World are even better than those of Jurassic Park, and this alone may make the film entertaining for many viewers. Unfortunately, in an apparent effort to target a teenage audience, the movie's creators have made a film with an absurd plot line and adult characters who act and speak like children. Consider, as just one example, the scene where the main group decides to bed down for the night in the jungle right after having been pursued by a hungry T-Rex; needless to say, they do not post a guard and the T-Rex "surprises" them while they are asleep. Although action films like this one do not need to be seamless, as one might expect from a "serious film," the level of idiocy in this movie will annoy most adults.

Summary: Not bad, but not good either
Review: Okay, so this sequel makes the first film look like a masterpiece in comparison, but I still enjoyed most of the movie. It has some great special effects and a literal cliff-hanger sequence that was nail biting. But then you get to the corny gymnastics sequence and everything goes downhill from there. Some great actors do their best with what they have: Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Vince Vaughn, Pete Postelthwaite and Peter Stormare are all great. But did Goldblums character really need a daughter? She brought down the movie with every scene that she was in. Her character was totally unnecessary. This movie is worth a look or two, but that's about it.

Rating:
Summary: Too bad this sequel wasn't extinct
Review: Makes the first film look like "Lawrence of Arabia" by comparison, with Goldblum spouting off the same exact warnings as last time. And sure enough, this one's got a cute kid, too. This time Spielberg doesn't even bother to loosely follow the novel. Only thing of interest: Arliss Howard with a British accent!

Summary: ...
Review: Personally, who really cares if the movie isn't the same as the book....there's a thing called ORIGINALITY(can we say that...good, I knew we could). I like this movie...it has plenty of action and good special effects.

Summary: Not as good as Jurassic Park
Review: I would have given The Lost World four stars, but compared to Jurassic Park, it is three stars. Jurassic Park had a good lesson and plot. The Lost World had the same lesson, but not the same plot. I thought it was kind of a remake of Jurassic Park. My grandparents didn't like it because it was dark through the whole movie. Jurassic Park was much better.

Summary: AN UNWORTHY SEQUEL TO JURRASIC PARK
Review: THE LOST WORLD should've remained lost, it doesn't even come close to the original JURRASIC PARK the creatures look all too much the ones in the original JURASSIC PARK. It is not all that scary even kinda dull at times the game hunters in this film I thought were unecessary to the story. I also felt JEFF GOLDBAUM'S acting as well as of the rest of the cast was below average as well, it is not as bad as GODZILLA but it's pretty close.

Summary: How Could You, Michael???
Review: If I were Michael Crichton, I would have disassociated myself from this loser. The movie bore only a slight resemblance to the book. One of the main characters in the movie doesn't even appear in the book. The two kids in the book don't appear in the movie; instead one of the kids becomes Jeff Goldblum's daughter. What was the point? The screenplay stunk. And a T-Rex rampaging throught the streets of San Diego like Godzilla? I know Spielberg did part of it for laughs (showing the Japanese tourists running for their lives), but this movie, with its sledgehammer style and weak plot, was nothing but a big sell out. Mr. Crichton, how could you let them do this to you? You have so much talent! And Mr. Spielberg, how could you take such a dive?
