The Worst Sequel Ever Made

Rating: 1/10 (25 June 1999)

This has got to be the worst sequel ever made. I am one of the suckers who paid $8 to see this pathetic piece of drivel in the theater. I wish I had listened to the critics who universally panned it but I mistakenly thought that Spielberg could do no wrong. Newsflash, even Spielberg will do a movie simply to cash in on a good idea and sell a few more lunch boxes and video games.
The plot absolutely sucked. It was totally unimaginative and often ridiculous (T. Rex in LA? Give me a break) but what annoyed me the most was the lack of any new special effects. I mean, if you are going to throw a moronic story line at us, at least give us some cool new dinosaurs or a few good explosions. The only thing that was not recycled from the first movie was the plot and I would have enjoyed watching a total rehash of the original rather than this. And what is the deal with the second island? At the end of JP1 the dinosaurs were still alive and reproducing so why did they even introduce a second island?
Not only is this the worst sequel ever made but I think it is one of the worst movies ever made. If you are one of the few people who has been lucky enough to miss this movie up until now, avoid it at all costs. You will never get those 2 hours of your life back.
