Lost World, The: Jurassic Park

Pros: Direction; special effects; suspense; acting

Cons: Dinosaurs' eating habits are as hair-raising as ever (the 'PG-13' rating is in effect again)

The Bottom Line: The same things (suspense, special effects) that made JURASSIC PARK a smash do the same for THE LOST WORLD

Review: I honorably disagree with those who think that THE LOST WORLD is a vastly inferior sequel to the 1993 "monster" smash JURASSIC PARK. In truth, it is an expansion of its predecessor in that it continues the idea of technology and monetary greed making...

Pros: Intense Action

Cons: none

Review: Steven Spielberg again creates another masterpiece.This sequel to the first Jurassic Park is great.Still I think the first Jurassic Park movie was better.It's terrifically entertaining adventure that keeps you on the edge of your seat.It's been four...

Pros: Special Effects
Dinosaur Action
Base Story

Cons: Divergence from the novel
Ending

The Bottom Line: Lost World is a good follow up to Jurassic Park and mixes both action and special effects for a great ride. Recommended.

Review: If you haven't seen the first Jurassic Park film, here's what you missed. Man creates dinosaurs from fossilized DNA. Dinosaurs get loose in zoo. Dinosaurs eat people. People barely escape dinosaur island. Thank God for Site B. Yes, there's a second ...

Pros: Goldblum, Animation, and pure adrenalin

Cons: Killing Fido on the chain, the trailer over the cliff scene, and the crew is killed by a T-Rex already secure in the hold?

Review: Unlike well-respected reviewers of this flick, I have to say that I liked this film. If you are a purist and a die-hard fan of the bad science man Michael Crichton, you will find that this movie is LOOSELY based on Crichton's sequel to JURASSIC PARK, and...

Pros: Less continuity flaws then the original, good cast, fun movie.

Cons: The last segment feels like it should've been part of a different movie.

The Bottom Line: Contrary to popular opinion, I actually enjoyed "Lost World" in some parts more so then "Jurassic Park". I think it's worth checking out.

Review: "Lost World", to me at least, holds up a lot better under the scrutiny of the critic's eye, with the exception of the Raptor segment near the end. There are continuity problems and things that make you go, "Huh?" but they're not as blatant as they were ...

Pros: Intense, Suspenseful, Engaging Plot

Cons: Violence

Review: This review is in response to dcgalaxy's Epinion. I also did not think that The Lost World was a bad sequel, but feel that people expected it to be just like Jurassic Park, and that's where they became discouraged. You have to see this movie in...

Pros: great special effects, Jeff Goldblum

Cons: don't question the plot too much

Review: Those nasty dinosaurs from Jurassic Park are still alive and kicking--this time, according to The Lost World, they're at Site B. Two major entertainment magazines made a big point of how Site B was "curiously unexplained" (their words) in the...

Pros: good special effects,good action,good plot

Cons: original was better,the book was better

Review: This is the Sequel to the 1993 hit:Jurassic Park.There is another island with dinosaurs on it,the scientists have to check it out.A few problems,hunters+people want to capture the dinosaurs for an amusement park in the United States.

Pros: Intense action and light comedy

Cons: Not for the weak at heart or those with a pacemaker.

The Bottom Line: Excellent animation and virtually non-stop action and suspense.

Review: The overall theme of the movie was sadly too predictable - rich man inevitably fails when trying to get richer at the expense of others. Not an exciting theme, especially since the actor who played the rich man was rather expressionless when the camera...

Pros: suspense

Cons: Not at all like Michael Crichton wrote it

Review: I should have known. Don't ever, ever read the book before you see the movie.

I read Jurassic Park: The Lost World while on vacation years ago and was very excited about seeing it in the theater when it finally came out. The book scared me...
