don't bother

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2000)

Now, I know that when a book is made into a film, certain things change, but the only thing this movie has in common with the book its based on is a title and a main character! When I heard about a sequel, I was thrilled. And when I heard that the main character was Ian Malcolm, I was equally thrilled! I read the book, and loved it. Then I saw the movie... I wasn't thrilled anymore. The book is filled with a wonderful story, and wonderfully fleshed out characters. The movie... wasn't. Despite the wonderful visual affects the entire movie, the story, the characters, seemed really two dimensional. I would have walked out if it wasn't for Jeff Goldblum. He seemed the only redeeming quality of this movie. He brings Ian Malcolm back as lively and as exciting as in the original. But despite that, this movie still isn't worth it.
