An obvious sequel which falls prey to the standard "more action, less plot" sequel outline. Nothing new or exciting here but visually it remains visually impressive.

Is this the JP where the black girl kicks a dinosaur in the face with the power of GYMNASTICS? Or is that the third one? Both suck tremendously, so the point is moot.

Awkward, rushed, and half-baked. It has its moments, but nothing in it comes close to the quality of the first one. Spielberg was clearly on auto-pilot here.

Welcome... to EXPOSITION PARK. Damned awful and just silly. "High bar'd the raptor" should be right there with "jumped the shark" and "nuked the fridge."

My usual base criticism of Spielberg is that he makes products, not films. It's not fair at all. That he despises rough edges doesn't make him any less of an artist than, say, John Carpenter or Robert Altman. Of course, weak Taco Bell collector's cup crap like JP2 does nothing to redeem his ouvre.

Spielberg's worst by a mile. Its only redeeming qualities are the special effects and a certain amount of suspense every now and then. Avoid.

Everyone always cites the T-Rex exploding out of the ship's hold as the worst part of this movie because it doesn't make any fucking sense. Seeing as that's the only part I actually remember, I would argue that it's the best part.

It's not actually that bad... but gone are the compelling characters and sense of wonder that made the first movie so special. The action setpieces are entertaining enough but there are so many of them that they have a numbing effect after awhile. Also, as it turns out, Ian Malcolm is nowhere near as entertaining with PTSD.

"The Lost World" is the much hyped special effects sequel to Spielberg's "other" dinosaur movie, "Jurassic Park". Like its immensely popular predecessor, "The Lost World" is a film about a crazy scientific experiment gone awry, but with a politically-correct 1990's twist. Capitalistic, big business greed is the villain and the whole reason why such an honorable experiment by animal-loving noblemen has such terrible consequences.

Points for trying something different than the first, but Moore's character is just the worst. It also feels a lot longer than two hours. Though Goldblum is good and the trailer scene is great, there are a lot of problems that drag it down.

Just rewatched, and I find I’ve developed more fondness for it over time. When it came out it certainly felt like lesser Spielberg, but near 25 years later and judged against his filmography from ‘97 to today, it’s solidly 50th percentile Spielberg. A second rate cash-in compared to the original, of course. But some very well-done sequences - Julianne Moore on the glass, T-Rex roaring at the San Diego skyline, raptors overhead through the brush, etc. Cool score too.

A mediocre sequel to the far superior Jurassic Park, but with Spielberg at the helm there are a few spurts of greatness, but the rest is fairly dull, and the finale with the T-Rex in North America is brazeningly stupid.

For all the movie's flaws, and there are many, it's biggest sin is being the follow-up to Jurassic Park. Disappointing sequels are typically met with crushing resentment, but this movie isn't half as bad as most make it out to be. Unnecessary and stupid, sure, but it's still entertaining. Side-story: One of the most shameful moments of my movie-going life was walking out of Peter Jackson's King Kong and hearing someone unironically say "Man, they ripped off Lost World so badly." .....wow.

Not terrible for a sequel. It doesn't come anywhere near to how awesome the first one is, but still has it's own merits. Goldbloom and Moore are good but no one else really stands out. When they were on the island it was a lot like the first Jurassic Park and was were the film had it's best moments. Too bad about a third of this movie had a lot of off island scenes that were rather lame. The King Kong/Godzilla reference that most of the ending turned out to be was way too cheesy.

I'm sure the first book was more interesting than the second one, but The Lost World: Jurassic Park doesn't ever get boring and the story could have been MUCH worse for what it was. Goldblum did fine. Lacks a lot of spirit the first film had, but it's not too bad. I will also admit that there were quite a few flaws and unnecessary scenes though.

It felt much too long. Some segments could be completely cut out or at least shortened (like extremely boring cliff hanging scene). Well at least they learned from mistakes and made third part shorter and action-packed from start to finish. Also 5 bonus points for gymnastic kick, it made me realize that world needs some kung fu vs dinosaurs films.

Weakest of the three films by a fair margin. To be fair to Spielberg/Koepp, they didn't have a lot to work with from the Crichton novel, but that said they chose the most laughable, weakest elements to run with and oversimplified the rest. Overall it just feels mean spirited and nasty, lacking the childlike wonder of the original and also the wilful adventure of the (underrated) third instalment. Best not to pay too close attention to the machinations of the plot. Still, dinosaurs, eh?

Maybe had i seen it upon opening...The dinos rock and look great, too bad the dialogue is moronic. The pacing is constantly interrupted by un tense too long scenes that are supposed to be tense caused by the "i already know whose not gonna die" effect; its hard to get excited by dummies you dont care about and know aren't gonna get chomped. To be fair, there was a body count, but little is on screen--just watching i'm all wondering what a picture this could be in the hands of Romero.

Up until the ludicrous ending, this movie is just about as good as the first Jurassic Park. It's got a sharp new story that makes for a good followup to anything left open in the first one, and Jeff Goldblum does a fine job of turning his previously supporting character, Ian Malcom, into the lead man. Really good!
