I think I'm going to kill myself.

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2000)

﻿Unlike the first movie, I did my homework on this movie and I read the book first. After reading the book, I couldn't wait to see Ian Malcolm return and I couldn't wait to see the other characters in the book come to life on the big screen. Little did I know.
*SPOILIERS* Not that it would matter to me.
The only thing that remotely connects this movie to the book is the fact that it has the same title, Ian Malcolm, Sarah Harding and Eddie Carr and it takes place on a different island with dinosaurs. I was highly upset. Then they put that punk old man back in the movie and I still wanted him to die.
Here is my main problem with the movie. The InGen company has been reorganized with new directors and executive officers. They want to take the dinosaurs off the island and bring them to the new Jurassic Park in San Diego. Now, they created the dinosaurs, so what was the problem if they wanted to take the animals off the island and bring them to America? They belong to the company.
So up pops along Vince Vaughn who is a Major League (you fill in the blank) and he decides to take it upon himself to liberate the dinosaurs. So he ralleys up the troops and he feels like freakin Moses walking around the camp with his chain cutters, breaking the bonds of the dinosaurs who then wreck the camp and kill innocent people. Then, after stumbling on the baby T-Rex, he brings it to the camp to have it's leg fixed. But didn't somebody think that maybe mommy and daddy T-Rex had their own medical plans and didn't like humans messing with their child. So Ma and Pa Rex come through and wreck their base and kills one of their men in the process. All this so little Vince could play liberator. If you really think about it, he the one at fault for everything that happens in the movie. And it makes me so mad during the scene when he takes the bullets out of the man's gun and then the dude can't kill the T-Rex that is trying to kill him and his men. And what makes it worse is the fact that he is regarded as the hero in the movie. That was stupid.
I like Jeff Goldblum, but he stutters his way through this movie as if he is just reading lines. Julianne Moore's character made me upset in the movie because I thought she was stupid shouting orders to people who don't even belong to her group. If I were the Marlboro men in that movie, the second she told me that we have to move now, that would have been the second I'd tie her narrow behind up on the nearest tree, cut open a vein and let her hang with the rest of the meat. Her and her boyfriend Vince. (As you can see I have nothing but hate for her. Just wait until I review the Fugitive.)
My suggestions to Steven is that you focus more on the book and stick with that and keep the Earth First concept out of the movie because that's what hung it for me. Not that I'm against protecting the environment and animals, but what happened in this movie was too much and too ridiculous. And you have no right taking such liberties as you did in changing the storyline.
All and all, I hate this movie. If it was more like the book, I could have handled it, but unfortunately, this is what I am forced to deal with. My suggestion for you the audience is to stay away from this movie and watch the first one. It was so much better.
