One of my all time favorites.

Excellent but underrated film

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

UNDERRATED! This is way better than the first "Jurassic Park." Jeff Goldblum has more screen time which makes the film funnier and better acted than the first one. The animatronics, the T-Rex in particular, are wonderful. They gave me chills when I was a kid. Lastly, the third act is terrifying. It was so terrifying, I had a nightmare about a T-Rex invading out neighborhood when I was 10.Note: The acting in the first "Jurassic Park" is great. I just think "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" was better acted

This has to be the worst of SS's films. Where to start? First is the inclusion of an annoying stereotypical smartass teenage child who thinks she is smarter than the adults around her. I despise this in movies. I despise children in movies. Oh and she is an African-American indicating she is the product of an interracial coupling! Oooooooo so shocking and trendy!!!! In reality it is quite boring and dated. This child serves no purpose and adds nothing to the plot except to get in the way. I kept wishing she would be the first to be killed and eaten. This whole POS is just like a slasher film from the 80's. A whole new group of "actors" are brought on screen to be killed...but not the useless "lead" actors. Moore's performance was just awful. She comes off as an arrogant insufferable know it all who is more knowledgeable and better than those around her. All at once she is a dino doctor, a professional pharmacist for an extinct species, a sharp shooter, a survivalist, an animal rights advocate and extremist, mother figure, feminist, and on and on. I wanted her to be eaten ASAP. Goldblum just plays the same snarky ass character he plays in every movie. The whole goodie two shoes personae of the "good guys" is enough to give anyone loose bowels and projectile vomiting. The whole man bringing evil to animals sequences was better done in Avatar. How Vince Vaughn ever made it as an actor is a mystery. He is just a pudgy waste. Oh and let's not forget the whole trailer off the cliff. Very predictable. This waste was made just for the money. Even SS realized what a mess this was. It would have been better if he had them killed off. But no, the "leads" are immune. Again, the movie was awful, predictable and over 2 hours of life I will never get back. Avoid at all costs!

There are moments, as brief as they may be, of genuine entertainment in 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)'. Flashes of the creative brilliance behind the lens occasionally seep onto the screen, and it is in these sequences that the picture finds its footing as an incredibly inconsistent, at times confusingly so, follow-up to one of cinema's greatest achievements. It does manage to make its own mark on the genre and even deconstruct the formula that would go on to form the basis of every entry in the franchise - including itself, despite its best efforts - while also never even remotely reaching the heights of its predecessor. In-between its select moments of true suspense, frustratingly frenzied action and generally enjoyable moments centred around dinosaur danger is an uneven and, at times, dull film full of bizarre plot-points and an unnecessary third-act that straight-up shatters all credibility (or perhaps even good-will) built up before it. It's all done with the right intentions, though. This, along with its continued technical prowess, actually makes the final result all the more disappointing. Perhaps if it didn't follow such a masterpiece, it wouldn't have been such a let-down. 6/10

While the first Jurassic Park swept us off our feet, the second installment (while still impressively made) had a weeker story, poorly written antagonists and a confusing tone, suddenly turning to a really stupid comedy during the t-rex's rampage in San Diego. Worst of all it is just a really sloppy movie, with several continuity errors, bad character reactions and second rate slasher movie (lets walk by my lonesome and get eaten) behaviour. Skip this one.
