Much better than the third, but still not the original.

Rating: Null/10 (2 September 2001)

I've read many negative comments on this movie because it wasn't anything like the book. I haven't read the book, but I liked the movie. I thought it was a good follow-up to the original. It was definitely better than the third. I liked the third too, but it just had a weak dialogue and a weak story. Tea Leoni was just too annoying in the third. Maybe I wouldn't of liked this movie if I read the book though. See the reason I like the first one more is because it had a story, awesome action, and intensity. Hands down, the best scene in the Jurassic Park series is the kitchen scene with the raptors. The first one was a masterpiece. The first movie scared the wits out of me, so I had to leave the theatre. Give me a break, I was only five years old at the time. But let's get to the second movie. It had a plot, it had action, but predictable, so it wasn't as intense. The reason it was predictable, was because they knew that there was going to be an attack, because the dinosaurs weren't behind cages, they knew there were going to be many deaths in the movie because on the island, there were T-rex and velociraptors that were free. No matter how hard you try, nothing is going to beat JP. But, I also liked this movie because a lot people died, not that it is a good thing to have people die, but that's what you're looking for in a movie like this. Sequels usually geta bad wrap, and this was one of them. It was an underrated flick. If you want to see a bad sequel, you have to see Mortal Kombat 2. Many people thought this shouldn't have been made and the third one should of been the second one. I strongly disagree for many reasons. I liked the third one and all, but it didn't have to be made. I was rather disappointed in it, though it wasn't bad.. In my comment, on JP3, I said I gave it a 7/10, but I have to give it 5/10, because I forgot to mention the weak dialogue, and the horrible performance by Tea Leoni. This movie will get an 8/10.
