Difficult To Sequel A Classic

Rating: 5/10 (29 April 2007)

This movie proves how difficult it is to sequel a classic. The plot is really simple to understand. The is yet another island with more dinosaurs which has gone totally into out of control chaos. The movies final message of "Let's Leave Them Alone," is interesting as the way modern man always thinks they control everything, an admission that this situation is beyond man's control is rare in cinema now days.
Trouble with this film is that while it completes the themes from the original King Kong that were not touched on in the original film, it gets too long & the story is lackluster. Spielburg also becomes predictable as even the action sequences look alike when compared with the first time around.
The only thing original is the shots of a dinosaur going past a swimming pool which is a neat visual effect. That's not enough, as this one sold a lot of tickets because of the first film, not because of it's own merits.
