Best movie ever!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

OK, currently I'm living in China, and I bought what I thought was Jurrasic Park 4...which I didn't think there was. Well, there isn't...at least not yet, Steven Spielberg is about to produce it in 2009 or 2010. So when I put this DVD in, to my surprise, the only dinosaurs I saw was stolen stock footage from Jurrasic Park 3 which they continued to play over and over again but without any real relevance to the story/plot.Now I noticed that the other comments on this page didn't mention anything about this stolen stock footage, so I guess I should feel lucky that the Chinese steal everything and sell it cheap too. Awesomely bad movie!

This is about when an ape that is a so called "King" and rules his "Lost World" which is no more then trees, dirt bushes, and fake looking back grounds and hills. It starts off with a plane crashing, an explosion, then we find out the front of the plane is missing, which must have crashed with the full plane, and a little explosion that causes it to fly 2-300 miles away without leaving falling trees if it supposedly crashed through them. Then, the survivors encounter fake looking spiders, scorpions, man eating vines, and a 150 foot monkey that is the "King Of The Lost World" along with brain washing natives. It is pretty good except for the cgi effects and the nudity scene. It does include a few good actors, and of course, some bad actors (which is about 90 percent of the actors) Thus, creating a good rip-off of Doyle's novel and the King Kong movies.

What a dumb movie. The special effects were so horrible I started to think this was really just a 3rd grade class project. The creators decided to cast some moderately pretty women in this film to make up for the complete lack of acting, personality, or talent. I can only imagine the budget for this film being in the realm of some kid's allowance. An incredibly poorly-done "movie" based on an incredible story. If you don't have the budget or talent to do the original story justice, then hands off please. With series like Battlestar Galactica out there, I expect rental DVDs to be of at least decent quality. The giant ape was a joke, the scorpions were moronic, and those flying dragon things? Please. And how come the flight attendant mistook her own plane for a fighter jet?

King Of The Lost World, a perfect B-movie classic. Extremely close to King Kong, both original and remake, but seeing as they all inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book Lost World I can see why. Bruce Boxleitner is cast perfectly, in that is he a bad guy or good guy role. Rhett Giles, is another who I really enjoyed in the movie, he definitely has leading man qualities,I look forward to see him in his upcoming TV show Lost Colony. King Of the Lost World is a great Suanday afternoon movie for those of us who love cheesy films. Giant apes and spiders, Scorpions afraid of a camera flash, and man eating vines, a great way to waste 2 hours.
