Speilberg did this?

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2002)

Based on R2 DVD 123 min
Taken on its own merit JP2 is a sci-fi movie with above average production values, good effects, a reasonable story and a few good; if long winded; stunts. If anything the movie is too long, the last 30 minutes should never have been shot.
Considering this is a sequel to JP1 and directed by Speilberg it is a major disappointment. Most of the characters are card board and many of the situations are boringly predictable and contrived. The entire T-Rex in the city sequence makes a mockery of the island portion of the story. There is no explanation for who or what killed the ships crew but it had to be small enough to fit through the bridge door.
6/10 worth watching if your a gore/sci-fi fan and if you forget about Speilberg and JP1.
