Read the book...

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2002)

The first Jurassic Park was very good, as was the book, and while THE LOST WORLD novel isn't as good as the first, the film's even farther off. Jeff Goldblum's character has done a complete 180 degree turn into some "Know it all preacher." I hate the scene where he says something like " Ooh, yeah, that's how it all starts-then there's screaming and yelling and running." He sounds incredibly stupid when he's saying it, and his character in this film is just plain annoying. I love the first and third film, and despite the sickening rumors of Ian Malcolm coming back for film 4, I hop that Grant (Sam Neill) comes back for more. I'm hoping unless the script is excellent, they don't make another stupid film to end the series like The Lost World. Let's hop for something like film 1 or 3( hearing rumors of film 5 too. I guess people love the dinos-I know I do).
I give the Lost World 2/5 stars for having some good dinosaur sequences-other than that it's a pass.
