Living up to the hype of the first Jurassic Park is virtually impossible. It was at the time the pinnacle of special effects blended with great storytelling. The Lost World is a different movie than Jurassic Park and in ways it is funnier, wittier and probably a more entertaining movie.
The plot of the Lost World is more complex, with more characters, more locations and more action. People who bash this movie I'd be willing to bet have only seen it once. The first time I saw TWL I wasn't to impressed. Then I watched it several years later and found out that my initial judgment was wrong. This movie is pretty freakin cool on any level. It blends wit with personality from its characters. And speaking of characters, my favorite is in this movie. No its not Ian Malcolm but the bad #$& T-rex hunter Roland Tembo (please god let him be in jp4! Won't happen though:)). This movie intellectually is fast paced. Fast dialogue, fast transitions, fast information and fast action. What we could do as movie lovers is lighten up. This is not one of the worst sequels of all time (see Gremlins 2, Rocky 5, Lethal Weapon 4, scanners 2, Jaws 2-4, Rambo 3, 2 fast 2 furious, Next Friday, Evil Dead 2...just kidding that movie rocks) Anyway, let's just chill out and appreciate this movie what it was meant for...entertainment. By the way its still in the top 10 movies gross of all time and held the weekend record until Harry Potter came along:)
