Worst Spielbergian Cinema offering of the 90's

Rating: 5/10 (17 September 2001)

I've seen a lot of films in my time, but never have I seen a master of cinema (like Lucas, Cameron, Zemeckis) make such a bad film after he was established as a director. I mean this is (looking at it from a Spielbergian perspective) a piece of CRAP!!! I mean, if you're a 2rd rate director this would have been a pretty good effort, but as far as a genius like Spielberg goes, this is no work of art at all. It lacks everything that was the greatness of Jurassic Park:
1. A great soundtrack (where are those epic, emotional tunes Mr.Williams)
2. A good story (Mr.Crichton, don't let anybody ever tell you again to write a sequel if you don't have a good story in mind)
3. Good actors (no offense to Mrs.Lewis, but she can do better, as well as (pretty much) the rest of the cast members)
4. Great direction (sorry Mr.Spielberg, you failed here)
5. The feeling of an adventure movie (I don't know what this was supposed to be, but it doesn't occur to me as an adventure movie. Sometimes I had the feeling Spielberg was making a parody of his own masterpiece Jurassic Park. B-grade Godzilla-esque acting, disaster'  scenes and stupid jokes that fell flat.
6. A good length (this one is way too long)
Wrapping it up, I must say that it is a shame this one even got to tag along the name Jurassic Park after it's Title (The Lost World) and I'd rather had Jurassic Park 3 made directly after the original. But luckily The Lost World and Jurassic Park 3 are not stringed together. (Technically you could have even named JP3, Jurassic Park 2, for this one is called The Lost World: Jurassic Park. WHY OH WHY did nobody think of THAT???)
