Jurassic Park part 2 would have been a better Title

Rating: Null/10 (26 September 1999)

Some reviewers of this movie were expecting a movie adaption of Michael Crichton's second dinosaur novel and they were disappointed! The screenplay to 80% of the Lost World movie actually comes from his first novel now including all of the scenes that they wanted in the first one but couldn't fit in due to the length of the film.
The proof of this theorum is the following scenes are all depicted in the first novel:
1. Opening scene of young girl feeding a Compsognathus (compy) in the grass and being bitten.
2. Sarah HARDING's character being an expert in carnivores
3. Stegosaurs with offspring
4. T-rex hunted down and shot with tranquilizer dart by Roland Tembo (in 1st JP novel, Muldoon hunted down rex in this manner).
5. Dieter slides down hill to be pecked to death by group of Compies (in 1st JP novel Hammond met his demise this way!).
6. When group of people run from T-rex into waterfall it sticks its head in and licks one eerily with it's tongue.
7. Pteradons appear at the end of the film (they were involved in an aerial attack in first JP novel and this almost became a complete scene with them in this movie but was cut in favour of the "Rex does Godzilla" scene late into production).
I personally loved this movie because it included those scenes that I wished were in the first film but didn't appear.
This film is Jurassic park part 2 the same way Superman 2 flows into Superman the movie.
Well done Spielberg, can't wait for the third in the trilogy.
PS The other thing I like about both of the JP movies is that not one dinosaur is killed by a human in either film, thereby not reducing the dinos to the role of simple monsters.
9/10.
