More of a showpiece than the first, but it's left lacking depth

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2007)

It does exactly what it says on the back of the DVD and i quote - 'The blockbuster sequel with even more dinosaurs, more action and more breathtaking visual effects than its record breaking predecessor'
However it does this at the expense of the character development and the plot; both of these are compromised to give more screen time to the dinosaurs and the action sequences, so it really comes down to what you are after in a film. If it's fairly good action and stunning CGI dinosaurs and chases that you want, this film delivers; if your after something with a bit more depth then you may be left wanting.
Personally i found this was great fun to watch, but i found myself routing for the dinosaurs, they had more character than the cast, don't get me wrong, the cast is sufficient, their just not as compelling to watch as the dinosaurs.
7/10 for the fun of the experience
