Jurassic Park 2 - The Lost World Reviews

[Highly rated reviewer]

superb.........

the lost world is a superb film, with a brilliant cast of jeff goldblum, peter postlewaite and julianne moore. there is more tension in this film eg. the scene where the 2 t-rex's attack the mobile home, and also when the T-rex enters the tent.

there is also quite a bit of comedy in this film, which is very subtly done.

A t- rex is captured and taken to a zoo in san diego, where mayhem ensues.

well worth renting out, but younger children may find this film a bit on the frightening side.

King Kong with T-rexes!

I remember seeing this a the cinema and thinking it was OK, but not a good as the first film and my thoughts haven't changed. Plot-wise it's like King-Kong, but with a T-rex rather than a giant ape. Plenty of excitement, but nothing too memorable.

However I rented this for my 5 year old son and he really enjoyed it. He's been a fan of the first film for the last year, and has been asking to see this for ages.

So I'd rate it 2/5 and he'd rate it 4/5, so lets give it 3/5 overall.

Much better than part 1

Perhaps it was because Spielberg was now considered a 'serious' Director after Schindler's List that this film was unfairly mauled on it's release? Or perhaps people just don't like these films anymore. I personally think this is wayyyy better than Part 1, and it contains some absolutely classic Spielberg suspense sequences (i.e. the trailer over the cliff). Jeff Goldblum also makes a much better leading man in this than Sam Neil's rather boring character in the first film. Spielberg is obviously having FUN with this film and pulling out all the stops (just check out the monster-movie homage ending!!). John Williams' score is also adventurous, quite jazzy in places! So, ignore at your peril - this is the kind of film I would like to see Spielberg attempting again - a seat-of-your-pants thrill-ride like the first two Indiana Jones films. Top stuff!

Jurassic park 2

This film was just what i expected brilliant

good sequel

great movie that doesnt disapoint as most sequels do

the special effects seem even better than before

the story fades abit in places as it slightly like king kong and godzzila as it escapes and runs amok

apart from that its fine good family film and not as scary i feel

dinosaur magic

this is a brill film with excellent special effects

patch

not a patch on the other 2 films only got it as such a long time since son had seen it and he was curious.

GREAT

ANOTHER GREAT DINO FLICK

All right...

The special effects are quite good, and when there is action it is quite thrilling, but overall the storyline is a bit disappointing. It is enjoyable but could have been better.

Meandering, dull, plotless nonsense.

I think my title says it all.
