    A Tired and Overhyped Sequel...Amazing Visual Effects, but that's about it.

    JURASSIC PARK was a phenomenon. It broke through many film boundaries, in both visual effects and story. Audiences and critics adored it. You can't really say as much for the sequel, THE LOST WORLD. Spielberg tries. He really tries, and he deserves some credit. But this film falls flat on its face. Pros: Stunning visual effects. The dinos look even better than in the first. Also, there's an awesome suspense sequence about 30 minutes into the film, with the characters suspended over a cliff in a car. Cons: Weak, weak, and weak. This film hardly has a story. The first Jurassic Park film was focused on making people believe in the characters and the circumstances, then using the visuals to scare them. THE LOST WORLD is nonstop violence and dino action. The effects are enticing at first, then it just gets old. The film takes a turn for Godzilla at the end with a ho-hum climax that places a T-rex in San Francisco. The violence is alarming. While not too gory, it's constant and realistic. Language is moderate, but, thankfully, there's no sex. Pass this sequel. You might try it if you're a die-hard fan, but I don't reccommend it.

    A little more violent than the first.

    A Great Movie. A Guy is split in half. Guy is stepped on by a T-Rex.

    Not A Bad Movie As Long As Your Children Admire the Right People

    Let me preface this by saying that this movie isn't that great, it's not bad, it's just not great. If you want a movie that inspires true fear and awe with minimal bloodshed watch the first one. This is a mediocre movie but it's pretty good as far as sequels go. There are, as always in JP movies, positive messages about the failure to control nature and Chaos Theory. There are a few good role models, like the people who respect the animals' rights and try to free them from their cages, but there are some bad role models as well. The hunters who come to the island for the sole purpose of killing and brutalizing the dinosaurs are bad role models. If your child tends to idolize hunters and the like, I'd wait for his/her opinions to mature a little more before letting him/her watch this. Some of the scenes in the movie can also get reasonably violent, such as a man being ripped in half.

    Bad? Hahaha...

    The first Jurassic Park brought wonder, and amazement, and the second one brings those same feelings. The Lost World is the strongest of the two sequels, and was extremely good. Easily one of the best sequels ever made.

    Fairly Bad Sequel

    If I had the choice, I would have given the Lost World two and a half stars. It wasn't a horrible movie. It had some great suspenseful scenes and the dinosaurs were still cool. But the incredibly stupid characters do dumb things and Steven Spielberg tries to see if we care, and it is stupidly gruesome. The filmmakers forgot how to make real suspense, so resorted to pointless violence. And the ending is super cheesy. Really bad when compared to the original. Good for kids 11+
