Stunning back then, mediocre right now.

Rating: Null/10 (15 April 2001)

I was nailed to the ground when I first saw this movie on the big screen. But now almost 8 years later I find it nothing more than a mediocre film: the special effects and sound quality are still very nice but what a poor story and poor acting it includes (Jeff Goldblum being the exception). I recently bought the 2 Jurassic movies on DVD, also to get my total of 5 "Columbia DVD points" to get Erin Brockovich for free. :) Well, me wonders now if it wouldn't have been better to just buy Erin Brockovich and leave Jurassic Park and The Lost World for what they are. Ooh well, I assume both disks will be of some entertainment for my kids in the future. Rating: 7/10.
PS 1 - I agree on the jerky children. PS 2 - I'll probably go see Jurassic Park III in theatres anyway. :)
