Entertaining enough. But Lacks Something From The First One

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2012)

It's a good movie, and nice way to distract yourself for a few hours. But it is not nearly as well put together as the first movie in this series. The original Jurassic Park had scenes that were so classic, so breathtakingly suspenseful, that it would be almost impossible to top them. Also, the first movie did a wonderful job of mixing the bright and sunny scenes while contrasting it with the dark and rainy ones. I felt The Lost World was a lot darker and didn't take enough time to show off the beauty of the Island. One exceptional moment for me in this film was the window glass cracking scene when they were dangling over the cliff. That was unique and breathtaking suspense. It was scarier than the dinosaurs, actually, which is kind of sad. Still, all in all, not a bad movie. It just lacks something from the first one.
