The first and unfortunately last great sequel to the original Jurassic Park.

Rating: 10/10 (28 June 2015)

Steven Spielberg's superb follow up to his original dinosaur classic finds Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) with the help of John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) trying to protect what survives the original Jurassic Park in a sequel that truly lives up to it's name sake. Julianne Moore, Vince Vaughn, Arliss Howard and the great Pete Postlethweite rounds out the cast in a darker, more relentless film that has some of the best action sequences ever filmed for a Jurassic Park movie. While the film is not with out it's faults, this movie is with out a doubt the second best film in the series. Sadly, neither Spielberg and Goldblum return for the next two sequels in the series and the quality of the series definitely take a sharp dive in quality with their departure.
Which is a shame because the Jurassic Park series deserved more than the dumb and badly acted monster movies they have become since Spielberg and Goldblum left the series after this film.
