great book, horrid movie

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2008)

Michael Chrichton's book is a wonderful sequel and even surpasses the original story in a few places. However, this horrid attempt at film-making by the usually great Spielberg is too awful for words. It basically has nothing to due with the book at all and the ending where the dinosaurs reek havoc in San Diego is absolutely one of the cheesiest sequences ever put to film. Perhaps I would have liked the movie more if I hadn't read the book before seeing it and had such high hopes for it, but that is not the case. This is one of the most dreadful film sequels in all history. It's such a shame since the first one was so good.
