Just when you'd think that scientists would realize dinosaurs and humans don't mix, along comes The Lost World: Jurassic Park to prove you wrong. In this sequel, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) su... read more

Although it has two of the original cast returning to this shamble of a movie!
Although 7yrs after its classic original you would have thought that they would have had the time to perfect the storyline and make strong characters, however this movie failed on so many levels!

Some imaginative action sequences isn't enough to help save this disastrous sequel. The score is just as annoying and the narrative even more pale in comparison to its predecessor. At least the visual effects are off the chain.
Another island is discovered with living dinosaurs. Do they learn any lessons? Good cast.
An absolute killer movie, to me, it's one of the best portrayal's of Earth's most deadliest predators, what's best about this installment is that it didn't shy away from killing off any characters, I do not know why it is seen as a let down compared to the first.
Nowhere near as good as the first. A simple reason for this is it's a repetition of the first film and Jeff Goldblum in the lead role was another bad idea. Its like Jaws, it cant really be done more than once. I enjoyed Jaws 2 because it managed to create suspense which is someth... read more
Easily the laziest sequel in film history. A real embarrassment for Spielberg (and even Vaughn).
There was more screen time with the dinos this time, which is what I wanted. But the problem is the characters are so boring, the plot is "ehhhh." Spielberg knew what he was doing, but the writers sure didn't. But this is not fun and boring, but is not a horible movie. The ef... read more
One of many unneeded sequels to Jurassic Park. At least this one takes it off the island and into the real world. It's a fun and entertaining movie, but that's all.
Amazing as a child, but descent reviewing it now.
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later there's running and screaming.
"Something Has Survived"
Not nearly as good the second time around for Spielberg and his Jurassic Parks films. Replaced the two annoying kids for one equally annoying ... read more
The Lost World has the vibe of 'obligatory sequel,' just what director Steven Spielberg probably wanted to avoid. Full Review
Special effects demand dino closeups, but the technical miracles seem sadly mundane. Full Review
Many people will find much to divert them in The Lost World, and not worry whether or not it falls short of Jurassic Park. Full Review
Offers less screen rapture for your raptor than its predecessor did, unless your sole priority is dino-mighty effects.
Repetitiveness notwithstanding, The Lost World boasts several edge-of-the-seat moments. Full Review
Where is the awe? Where is the sense that if dinosaurs really walked the earth, a film about them would be more than a monster movie? Where are the ooohs and ahhhs? Full Review
Militaristic bounty hunters...intend to capture these animals, ship them to San Diego and make a profitable spectacle out of them. Full Review
There are many more dinosaurs this time around, taking up much more screen time...But don't expect to be wowed as much as you were by Jurassic Park.
The Lost World, while terrifically entertaining, is also structurally out of kilter. Full Review
