The Unintentional Hilarity

Rating: 4/10 (5 March 2015)

Well if you saw my review of the original Jurassic Park, you already know I really like it,I know it has some flaws but I enjoy it for what it was. Now its time for the sequel. Does it hold up as much as the original and is it possibly even better?
Since this is a review I've got to say it honestly I think this movie is hilarious.
Not because it has good comedy, but because it has a great collection of unintentionally hilarious moments all through out. This is one of those movies that's so bad at times that its funny. But I'll stop rambling, lets get on with it.
Lets start with what made the movies famous to begin with, the effects. The effects actually feel just as good as the first one. They don't feel like it was anything different from the original but it still holds up. The story is where the movie becomes the train-wreck that it is.
Okay so the plot is that Jeff Goldblum's character from the first movie has to go to another Jurassic Park style island where there are hunters trying to catch dinosaurs for anotherJurassic Park style attraction. (because that worked SO well with the first attraction!) So Now he and his daughter, and his wife and Vince Vaughn for some reason, go to the next dinosaur island to stop the hunters.
One thing about the story that doesn't work is that the message of "humans greed is the downfall of nature" is so painfully obvious and in your face that when a scene is supposed to be emotional I just roll my eyes. Another thing that fails about the story is that all the characters are either idiotic (when they are supposed to be dinosaur experts) or just assholes. Not even the character from the first movie is safe from this.
And the final failing of this movie is, like said at the beginning, some of the unintentionally hilarious moments. Chose your favorite from a dinosaur that walks on all fours being able to throw a car into a tree a bout a football field away, characters doing stupid things like bringing the baby T-Rex into the RV, and of course, gymnastics being able to defeat super stealthy smart Well if you saw my review of the original Jurassic Park, you already know I really like it,I know it has some flaws but I enjoy it for what it was.

So thats my opinion on The Lost World, and if enjoyed this movie, thats great. I'n glad you enjoyed it, but I personally did not.
Final Score: 4.5/10
