A decent sequel to a hard to beat original

Rating: 6/10 (5 October 2002)

There is one thing that Hollywood does to screw itself up, and that is to create a movie that they know will generate sequels, but they make the original too good that it will make the sequels look bad. Such is the case with The Lost World, it had a lot to uphold to.
Although this film is not a total disaster, not in the least, it is very entertaining, it does fall into some of the sequel faults. Such as trying to be more extreme than the first (bringing the monsters to mainland, and more detailed chase and kill scenes).
Although I was not expecting near to the brilliance as the first, and you can't expect that, I thought it this movie would support the first one better than it did.
Although not as good as the first, this movie does entertain and is likeable and thus rates a 6/10.
