Weak Motion Picture for Steven Speilberg

Rating: Null/10 (21 August 2001)

Maybe the book was more interesting or a very good read but the film looks like it could only take out the lousy parts and intergrate them into the picture. It wouldn't surprise me that the book had more three dimensional chracters and some good plot devices than what was in the movie. Its a film that belongs to the bottom five in the filmogragphy of Steven Spielberg. The musical score by John Williams is well below some of his best work on film score. The opening sequence is the only good scene the film has to offer. Jeff Goldblum returns as Dr. Ian Malcolm in a one dimensional role. As I called the first film of this trilogy Dinoworld for my summary then I will refer this film as Dinoworld 2: The Dinos are Loose. Pete Postlethwaite is wasted in a lousy movie with his almost film saving performance. The only aspect of the movie that makes it worthwhile to watch. Makes a reference to the classic Gojira(1954) which is superior in acting and direction. The dinosaurs in the film are not as menacing as Godzilla was in the first Gojira picture. The Lost World:Jurrasic Park 2(1997) was one of my ten least favorite films from the year of 1997. The movie is shallow and uninteresting in many ideas and themes.
