Not great, but far from bad

Rating: 8/10 (12 September 2014)

"The Lost World: Jurassic Park" is one of the first few films that's either loved or hated by general moviegoers, and personally I love it! Sure, there are plot holes, poor choices made, etc., but the first film had dozens of plot holes and multiple continuity errors, yet most of us (myself included) call it a masterpiece nonetheless for the great casting/performances, excellent story, awe and wonder and a mix of everything else. The film's sequel has great if not better effects, awesome action set pieces, and even a few stand out performances. Sure the characters aren't as great this go-around, but still likable. The story isn't bad, but definitely could've used a rewrite or two to closer match the novel. but again, I love this film for what it is and what it delivers.
