Boooooo!!! Booooooooo!!!

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2001)

This thing isn't nearly the flick the third is or the first was. Derivative, overlong, dull and plain STOOPID at all the wrong places. This has to be about Speilberg's Worst directorial effort since Hook. What the $%#$ was he thinking here?? Make it tighter, make it better, like in #3, and you have a winner. Here, you have half baked 'Hatari' mixed with 'Valley of Gwangi', save that both of Those were Better by far.
I agree too with the 'San Diego part is retarded' line someone else here wrote. Yup. It sure is. You wanna also explain how the freakin' Tyranny managed to bad a WHOLE shipfull of guys, while still caged? What, no one was smart enough to Get Out of Reach of its cage? Or jump overboard? Or set it on fire or whatever? YEESSH. Very badly thought out guys.
I like Jeff Goldblum, Vaughn made No impression, and of course there's that luckless Big White Hunter who goes to take a whizz about 20 feet from the others and Gets Lost before being munched by the Pirahna lizards. That was about as Stupid and contrived as anything you will ever see in such a big flick. I was Throwing things at my screen at that moment and ALL through this damned thing.
Don't pay to see this. Wait til it's on network TV.
** outta ****, one for each eyeball that glazed over upon viewing.
BOOOOOO!!! BOOOOO!
