Not Bad could have been better

Rating: Null/10 (27 June 1999)

When I first saw this movie at the cinema, I thought "HUH". And was surprised that this was the successor to Jurassic Park, when it could have been so much better. My main problem was the exclusion of Dr Grant, and the other the character first played by Laura Dern. A cameo with these two would have added a little something to the dull film,. which played more on the special effects then developing the story.
The thing that most impressed me about the movie were the special effects, which I believed were top notch, and a big improvement over the first film. But when you think that the CGI effects were the best part of the film then something somewhere has gone wrong, I feel sorry for Steven Spielberg, because this film should have been something special, and was a great let down to a lot of us.
Overall I would give this movie 6.5 out of ten, and I believe that is being generous.
