A great, underrated film!

Rating: 9/10 (18 August 2016)

I love this movie! While not quite as great as the first film, it's still great in its own right! The cast, especially Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm, is great, the score by John Williams is amazing, the action sequences are suspenseful and thrilling, the story is engaging and the themes that were in the first film are still present (man messing with nature), some of the humor is genuinely funny, the cinematography is brilliant, and the effects are amazing and still hold up to this day after all these years.
My only gripes with the movie are that some of the scenes here and there don't make sense and some cuts here and there are quite odd, particularly when it reaches the third act. While the third act is good and exciting, getting to the third act is quite jarring as when you get to that part, it feels jarring and out of place. If there was some scenes that build up to the third act, I feel like the transition would have been smoother.
Despite the flaws, I find this movie incredibly entertaining and I don't entirely get why a lot of people don't like this film. This film to me has too many great things in it to say it's bad or uninteresting, at least in my opinion. So, if you love the Jurassic Park franchise or looking for a fun movie to watch, I say go into this movie with an open mind, give it a watch, and have fun! I really think it deserves a viewing!
