Had to go somewhere.

Rating: Null/10 (19 January 2000)

After Jurassic Park the sequel had to go somewhere. Unfortunately it gives the initial impression of being thrown together without much thought. Apparently written to provide some outline for the film sequel, it related not much to the movie. The Dino effects were somewhat better, and the characters were explored more thoroughly than the original. Unfortunately, the more you know of Goldblum's character the less you like him. His acting was marginally better than JP where he seemed to casually mumble his lines. Best acting probably by his daughter character, who took immature, selfish, whining, sorry for yourself snottiness to new levels of obnoxiousness. Best characters in JP were absent in LW or nearly so. (Plot was a rehash of King Kong). I hope Spielberg returns to the pacing in JP for the next one and reintroduces the original cast; they worked together so well. 5 out of 10.
