Read this review over the others - The Lost World: Jurassic Park Reviews

OKAY PEOPLE, just to clear up a few things: sure, the story isnt that good compared to the first, but hey, how can any movie even attempt to out-live the brilliance of the first plot?? this one tried & didnt quite succede but its still good. YES, the charaters are in fact good. even though malcom kind of over does it, and the other characters do kind-of stupid things (like sarah leaving the blood on her shirt), if they didnt do that, how would they weave the famous t-rex scene in which it terrorizes the camp site into the lost world's already full story (and keep it exciting)?? i mean seriosly people, get over yourselves. name one good movie in where something exciting happens NOT because of the character's stupid decions. if you really want to fully enjoy this master-peice of a movie, you have to ignore the faults it has and eagerly witness some of the best scenes in movie history (some of these scenes are even better than the original): FIRST OF ALL, the "oh my god the t-rex is coming to knock our trialer off the cliff OH MY GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE" scene. what other director can pull off such a complicated scene other than Steven Spielberg????? when sarah's frail, helpless body falls through the hanging trialer onto crackling glass, your heart will beat faster and faster each and every time you wittness it's fine impact on what us human's fear the worst: being in a situation where we know we're going to die and we cant do a damn thing about it. SECOND OF ALL, the raptor scene. this scene by far is the scariest in all of the JP movies. even though the RAPTORS didnt really get that big of a part in this jurassic movie, they still get memorable cuts such as the "DONT GO INTO THE LONG GRASS!!" part where the running victims get secretly stalked and hunted down by the ferious beasts. Also, the scene in which Malcom, Sarah and Kelly fight for their lives against 3 (yes, count that: 3 raptors. this beats the scene in the original where there are only 2 raptors against lex and timmy) all at the same time. malcom is trapped in a car, and sarah and kelly are in some type of a shed where the raptors are quickly finding ways in. LASTLY, the t-rex NEW YORK scene which always gets bashed by other reviewers. i think what steven was trying to do with this scene was give it something fresh and new, something that the audience has never seen before in a jurassic film: a dinasoar on the mainland. its exciting, thrilling, and finely directed. this is one scene in the film that you wait for all through out, waiting for it in antisipation. but wait my dear friends, this is only a TASTE on what will happen in the fourth movie (it is rumored that it will be surfaced around the dinasaors escaping onto the mainland). in my opinion, if this movie had all of those scenes but with better characters & a more straight-forward plot, then it would be better than the original. but, face it people, it is a worthy sequal. it deserves more respect than the third. P.S if you never knew before, like me (haha) the island that they're on (refured to as Isla Sorna or site B) is the one that they're on in the third instalment. if you dont have any of the jurassic park movies, buy the 3 movie pack (im stupid i bought them all individually). these movies, (well the first and second one at least) are examples of fine works of pure art and magic.. enjoy my lovies!! ??
