The Lost World - Jurassic Park Reviews

Special effects demand dino closeups, but the technical miracles seem sadly mundane.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

If Jurassic Park reminds us of the magic Hollywood is capable of, The Lost World shows us how quickly we get bored.

A cheerless, heartless monstrosity.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

The Lost World is a tremendously enjoyable action adventure.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Many people will find much to divert them in The Lost World, and not worry whether or not it falls short of Jurassic Park.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

The Lost World: Jurassic Park is one of those rare sequels that is better than the original.

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10

There are many more dinosaurs this time around, taking up much more screen time...But don't expect to be wowed as much as you were by Jurassic Park.

Most of the writing is the blandest sort of twaddle, jokes you can practically recite along with actors.

Full Review | Original Score: C-

The fact that the movie is literally dull comes as a surprise, especially with the usually reliable Spielberg at the helm.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

It was inevitable that they would make a sequel, but did it have to be this one?

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

Just watching dinosaurs attacking and killing stupid people is not enough.

| Original Score: 5/10

Although the film has more of nearly everything than its predecessor, somehow the result is less.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

This was made to make money and entertain. And I think it achieved both of those, although not in any kind of spades.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

It delivers a few thrills, some nice dinosaur effects, and packed theaters.

Full Review | Original Score: 6/10

It's just like watching Jurassic Park for the fifth time, when it's hard to get worked up over a film which has little going for it besides big mechanical lizards.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

With the low-angle, out-of-focus, washed-out photography, it looks like Spielberg slapped this thing together on his weekends away from DreamWorks.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Offers less screen rapture for your raptor than its predecessor did, unless your sole priority is dino-mighty effects.

| Original Score: 2.5/4

Lost World: Jurassic Park is the epitome of American mainstream action movies

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

That you get what you want, even as you're set up to want it, makes the film work.

Full Review

Lost World is a movie that takes the viewer on one of the most pleasurable rides you're ever likely to embark upon, without insulting your intelligence in the process.
