Very Enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (13 August 2005)

The cinematic brilliance link of Steve and killer animals continues on. Well, okay. Jaws was wonderful and so was Jurassic Park. Those were brilliant. But, if I recall, Jaws 2 was not a brilliant film. But that's okay. Sequels hardly ever are. So you can go with tradition and add this to the good sequel list.
Steve hardly ever can go with tradition: Shark films always stink, dinosaur films are always cheap. But, he can go with the tradition of sequels not being as good as the first. This movie continues after the first events of Jurassic Park. This time, the dinosaurs are on another island and a large group of people come to stop the dinosaurs from killing. Not going to happen.
Jurassic Park was somehow brilliant and this film is somehow not. This movie is scarier, the body count is higher and the characters are still interesting. So, why is it not that brilliant and just pretty good? I don't know. It's just pretty good, not brilliant.
So enjoy The Lost World. It's a good movie. It's very good for a sequel. It's a whole lot better than that lousy television show. So sit back and watch a bunch of dinosaurs kill people.
