One of the biggest disappointments ever! Spielberg really misses the mark with this one, not even a great cast can save it. it's not even close to being a guilty pleasure. Oh well.
Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Pete Postlethwaite

Alright, but too dark for my taste. And the Asian tourists being chased by the T-Rex did not exclaim "Godzilla!"

A decent performance by Julianne Moore and a rather good one by Jeff Goldblum are equally wasted in this one, which is quite possibly one of the worst sequels ever made.
The first 45 minutes or more of the movie are spent grasping at straws in an effort to establish continuity...( read more) -

Spielberg's sequel to his smash hit Jurassic Park is quite a different movie than the first one. There are more dinosaurs right from the start, the whole feeling is less warm and sunny, unlike in the first movie where the prehistoric animals are also hailed as beauties and worth ...( read more)

It's a very different movie than the first, but it's still a great movie none the less. You have some great visual effects, acting and suspense. This is definitely more of an action/adventure than a sci-fi and they really made it work. Instead of becoming the carbon copy sequel, ...( read more)

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

October 29, 2009I certainly loved this film. The first movie was obviously the king of all JP films, but 'The Lost World' is a very good sequal to the movie. The darkness of the film, makes it more interesting, and being somewhere else with a larger population of dinosaurs is much more thrilling. Although, as much as i loved Rex in the city, it shouldn't have happened. That should have been the third movie, escaping from the island!

June 10, 2008I loved the first one, and liked the third one. The second one wasn't great, but it had Jeff Goldblum so it's worth watching.

June 16, 20071 was good, two was better, three would have been good with a better cast aside from sam niel (he pretty much kept it together) and t rex instead of that stupid spinosaurus, and i hope part four will top em all

October 25, 2006I agree with CapDac, the first two are great, and the 2nd barely topped the first. Skip the third.

July 23, 2006Manages to top the first, just barely. Jurassic Park 1 and 2 are AWESOME!
Forget the third -
May 24, 2006Just watch the first one, and ignore the rest. If you watch them just do it for the special FX's nothing more.
