Awful Sequel meant to profit off of the original

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 1999)

It's hard to believe Steven Spielberg, the man behind Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, ET, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Jurassic Park, the latter being the better to this sequel I'm about to analyze. The Lost World is probably one of the most pointless sequels I've seen. The film is barely close to the book only taking a few characters from the book and making the movie meant to be a human buffet. The movie follows Ian Malcom, a couple years after the disaster at the original Jurassic Park being sent by sick millionaire Jon Hammond into Site B, a hidden site created by Hammond that surprisingly survived. Malcom goes in to save his girlfriend, Sarah, an all too ambitious nature scientist along with the help of a cocky photographer (Vince Vaughn) and a dispensible scientist (Richard Schiff). Of course, Hammond's snotty nephew (Arliss Howard) and his group of men go into the island as well to take some of the dinosaurs and put them into their San Diego park. All hell breaks loose leaving people to be attacked, eaten, and crushed by the dreadful dinosaurs. They decide to drag the action on by having a T-Rex come into San Diego which only breaks out into more disaster. I had high expectations for this movie and was quite disappointed with how it turned out. A particularly gut wrenching sequence involves Malcom's daughter randomly performing stupid aerobics moves on a raptor and knocking it on it's ass. A word to Michael Crichton: Write the script to your book.
