it's the same thing as the first movie: worth seeing for its special effects

Rating: 4/10 (25 April 2003)

The idea of a sequel to the most successful movie made in 1993 stayed rooted in people's minds. Moreover, in the first movie, Sam Neil was astonished by found out that "dinosaurs are breeding!". However, scientifics who used to work for the "jurassic park" had developed a process that had to make the dinosaurs sterile. Apparently, there must have been a mistake or something they didn't think about. But for Spielberg, this carelessness was a kind of excuse to make a follow-up.
As far as this sequel is concerned, well it's far from being superior to the first movie. If special effects are always dramatic and successful (you can notice that Spielberg made the effort to diversify the species of dinosaurs), the screenplay is always few inspired. It appears frankly poor in the way it plays the role of fill-in. Must you add that it contains dialogs that sound hollow and labored? And of, course, unlikelinesses are always on meeting. Nevertheless, one positive side: children nearly never appear during the movie.
Steven Spielberg chose Jeff Goldblum in the main role (perhaps, he wanted to grant him more liberty and calibre than in the first movie) but he could have chosen as well Sam Neil.
On another hand, when the tyrannosaurus invades San Diego (it gives a little ounce of surrealism to the movie), the movie falls into the ridicule. Instead of feeling anxiety or fear, you laugh a lot when you watch the disasters that the tyrannosaurus causes.
At last, the end probably ranks among the worst ends of movie ever made. Indeed, it's too easy and conventional to say that we must let dinosaurs live on their island and it gives birth to a childish moral. Besides, the movie globally gives off a feeling of great childishness due to the characters' every moves and thoughts. Especially the clan of wicked people who mean to capture dinosaurs in order to create another "Jurassic park" in San Diego.
A flat and poor sequel. I didn't watch "Jurassic Park 3" and I don't know what it's worth. When will "jurassic park 4" be ?
