A Classic That's Gained A Bad Reputation
In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a
drive-in movie screen, Steven Spi elbergs sequel to Jurassic Park is a
poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter
David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum
returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctant ly
agrees to go to another island where cloned dinosaurs are roaming freely.
Along with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and daughter, Malcolm has to
deal with hunters, environmentalists, and corporate swine who stupidly
bring back a big dino to Southern California, where it runs amok, of course.
Spielberg doesnt seem to care that the pieces of this project dont add up
to a real movie, so he hams it up with big, scary moments (with none of the
artfulness of those in Jurassic Park) and smart-aleck visual gags (a
yapping dog in a suburb mysteriously disappears when a hungry T-rex
stomps by). A complete bust. --Tom Keogh
I'm probably one of the few people that likes The Lost World waaaaay
better than Jurassic Park 3. Apart from Sam Neill and Laura Dern, I
thought the acting was horrendous in 3 and about ruined the whole film.
They didn't have much of a good script to work with, though. In this one
however, everybody is great and Jeff Goldblum is brilliant as usual. I don't
think the plot is as poor as people've made it out to be. It possibly could've
happened, and sure the girl doing gymnastics on the raptor was silly but
the trailer hanging over the cliff scene was much scarrier than anything on
JP3. There's more deaths and violence in Lost World which could take
away from the magic but it adds more to the concept that they're very
dangerous creatures. Both Lost World and JP3 have a lot of action, but it
feels overkill and monontonous in JP3. Maybe I'm being unfair and should
watch the 3rd one again, but this movie definitley doesn't deserve all the
criticism it's received!
