Title: The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Rating: Three and a Half Spotlights
Movie Wrapped Up:
It is discovered that the dinosaurs have indeed survived on a different island. John Hommand sends a team, including Dr. Malcom and his girlfriend Sarah (his daughter Kellie tags along without permission), to document the island's life before it's take advantage of by his nephew, who has taken over his company.
But this nephew takes advantage too quickly, and calamity follows. If everyone does manage to survive, there's going to be trouble brewing in San Diego...
Script:
Another iffy one. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good. It wasn't really great, and didn't fulfill what the first one did. Plus, the whole San Diego scenes weren't worth it. All it did was fill another 30 minutes. The movie could have done without that. This wasn't the best.
Action:
Better than the script. I was hung on, and scared for a couple times. But it was only four-spotlight material. There was at least one scene where it was too stretched out.
Effects:
Very good. Too good, sometimes, when the scenes were gross. There were one or two bad effect moments, like Eddie getting ripped apart, but then it was a relief to see it was a dummy (literally, a relief!). It was probably one of the best parts of the movie.
Mad Take:
This did not live up to the first one's legacy. It's not my favorite movie. It wasn't entirely bad, but it fulfilled the whole "the-second-is-worst-than-the-first" legacy. But I think that idea stinks. Only a few movies have tried to break this tradition. Why do directors give up on the second? That's when you should be trying your very best! Yeesh!
This was not my favorite, but it didn't stink entirely either.
