Not Speilberg's most ingenious work, but not that bad.

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2002)

The original JURASSIC PARK was a classic action adventure. So, now, four years after the success of the first film, we are given THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK. Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough being the only two who return from the original and also a truckload of new characters. Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethaite, Vince Vaughn, Vanessa Lee Chester, Arliss Howard, Thomas F. Duffy, Peter Storemare, Richard Schiff, and Thomas Rosales co-star in a film that tries to rip off the success of its predecessor.
JURASSIC PARK is what started it all. It is the film that basically regenerated the action adventure genre. There is not a creature feature out there that does not owe something to JURASSIC PARK. But, here with this film, we wonder if was really someone's original idea that they came up with because they had the idea stuck in the back of their head somewhere, or if they just did it because they were hoping of a repeat of the first film. That is what this movie is all about. THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK gets 4/5.
