Top notch stuff

Rating: Null/10 (10 December 1998)

Lost World was by far the best and most fun summer flick of 97. The top dinosaurs from JP are here only there's way more of them and they're loads more scary than before. This is much too scary a film for it's PG rating, I saw it with a bunch a kids and you would not believe the screams of terror and then the absolute silence when one character is ripped in half by two T-Rex's - Euu Yukkk!
The final sequence on the mainland is what these blockbuster films should be about - self-depreciating humour, a big stand-off and lots of people running about getting munched. When in 'Mars Attacks' Tim Burton dispenses with the cliched family dog - it's thought of as genius, here Spielberg does it much, much better. The dialogue ain't bad either with snappy interchanges from Jeff Goldblum and his assembled rescue team. The plot may be kinda hacked on but it sure isn't as completely rubbish as things like Godzilla or Armageddon. I honestly don't know why you couldn't enjoy this movie.
No one makes these suspense filled action set piece movies better than Spielberg... watch out for the bit with the glass and the other bit with the long grass - classic.
