Tired out

Rating: 6/10 (3 December 2005)

Whereas the first Jurassic Park is an incredible journey into the fascinating world of dinosaurs, this one is merely a retread of the same territory (you definitely feel as if you've been there done that). In fact, there at yet ANOTHER island, fighting the same dinosaurs (some not-so-memorable new ones). And John Williams music, unlike the classic score to the first one, just doesn't have that sense of wonder here. Not only that, the story is quite tame and the acting suffers from flat characters (it's sad because great actors like Jeff Goldblum are subjected to so-so dialogue and events). And the ending is just awful (won't give it away but watch for it). Oh well, at least we have the first one to treasure. 6 out of 10.
