Spielberg's worst movie?

Rating: 5/10 (13 July 2000)

Warning: possible spoilers!
I loved the original Jurassic Park (have seen it about 15 times now), so when I heard they were making a sequel I was exited. When I saw the movie on the cinema I realized quickly that it wasn't as good as the first, but I still enjoyed it quite much. The excitement of the very being of a sequel completely made me overlook the fact that the film was complete and utter crap.
When I later saw the film on video I started to realize that this is actually one of Steven Spielberg's worst films ever. The directing has many obvious mistakes, and the actors and actresses are all acting in a way showing all of their bad sides, and none of their good. The sequence where the T-Rex is running around in the streets is one of the most lame sequences I've ever seen, and at times it almost becomes funny because it is so terribly terribly bad.
The first hour of the film is extremely boring and hardly anything happens, the second hour has more action but it's way too silly. And the film if full of giant plot holes. Like for instance: if the baby T-Rex was brought to the city by helicopter, and mother T-Rex in a cargo ship; how did the crew of the cargo ship get eaten, when the T-Rex was obviously firmly secured in the ships cargo compartment when the ship arrived?
All considered: this film is terrible, and not recommendable. I'll give it a 4 out of 10.
And now I hear they're making a third installment to the series. Call me strange, but I'm actually looking forward to it. Why? Because they're replacing several of the crew members. New director, new musician, new producers (except Spielberg, who's still going to executively produce) and so on. And they've signed Sam Neill to star once again as Dr. Grant. It was he who brought the first movie to greatness, hopefully he'll do the same thing for the third. I also hope we'll see more of Joseph Mazzello (Tim), who's a very talented young actor, and maybe also the sister Lex, played by Ariana Richards, even though they've now both grown up... The third film can't possibly be worse than this one, anyway, so I'm exited!
