Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctantly agrees to go to another island where cloned dinosaurs are roaming freely. Along with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and daughter, Malcolm has to deal with hunters, environmentalists, and corporate swine who stupidly bring back a big dino to Southern California, where it runs amok, of course. Spielberg doesn't seem to care that the pieces of this project don't add up to a real movie, so he hams it up with big, scary moments (with none of the artfulness of those in Jurassic Park) and smart-aleck visual gags (a yapping dog in a suburb mysteriously disappears when a hungry T-rex stomps by). A complete bust. --Tom Keogh

*Spoiler Alert - Some plot details are included in this review*
The transition from popular novel to Hollywood film often results in a misshapen mess, and that is certainly the case with this disastrous sequel to the fantastic Jurassic Park.
The Lost World is simply a stupid film. I won't belabor the misspent opportunities to include good sequences from the book because I know that what works well on paper doesn't always work as well on the big screen. Still, the sheer ... Read More
Rating: - Disapointing Sequel
One of my biggest complaints with this movie was the tagline "Something has survived." So? Why wouldn't something have survived? As I recall at the end of Jurassic Park everyone just evacuates the island and leaves the dinosaurs to themselves so of course something has survived. Now if you read the book where they bomb the island back to the stone age (no pun intended) it would make sense that everything should have been dead. Then they go on to tell us that it was based on Michael Crichton's book. ... Read More
Rating:  - The Best Film Ever! What Is With You People, All These Bad Reviews!
As a dinosaur lover, I first saw this film when I was five, and it still remains as MY FAVORITE MOVIE MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!! The olny movie that has come close to that is probably this summer's The Dark Knight, and other than that, the movie HAS NO RIVALS!!!!!!!! Arrggghhh!!!!! The film has tons of good actors, an EXCELLENT STORY, great acting, great script, great special effects, and great everything!!!! The trailer scene is the best, and coolest scene ever!!! Story summary: After finding out there is ... Read More
Rating:  - What's Not to Like?
Not sure why so many people seem to dislike this film. Laugh if you like, but I think it's the best of the entire series. After watching the first one, I found myself aching to see what Spielberg could have done with the dinosaurs in a big city environment and boy, did he ever deliver in this one! I stood up and pumped my fist in the theatre when the T-Rex first appeared on the outskirts of the big city and let out a deafening roar -- serving notice to the populace that total mayhem was about to ensue. ...

Rating: - Good realistic story
The first JP movie was very flamboyant, colourful and fresh. This movie feel a bit gloomy, realistic and simple. I really liked this film for it's realism, it does not have the great story the book gave us, but it's still up there with the first film. I did expect a bit more variety of dinosaurs in this film though, the only real new players are the Stegosaurusses, Compys and one brief shot of Pteranadons. I did want the movie to be even a bit more darker and would have liked more scenes at the compound and ... Read More
