I know the entirety of The Lost World: Jurassic Park when I watched it that is to say it's scary when I was a kid even if I haven't seen the first Jurassic Park film and then came the third film. Overall I decide to give this review a bit of a mind of what I think of it right now. The Lost World: Jurassic Park doesn't follow on Alan Grant played by Sam Neill this time but focuses mostly on Ian Malcolm played by Jeff Goldblum. Ian Malcolm is off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica along with Nick Van Owen played by Vince Vaughn and Eddie to find his girlfriend, Sarah Harding played by Julianne Moore after learning that John Hammond's nephew, Peter Ludlow took control of InGen, is planning to capture the Isla Sorna dinosaurs and bring them to the mainland. So they found Sarah, founding out that Ian's daughter, Kelly is in the trailer and the InGen's squad has arrived to capture the dinosaurs. Okay, I know Fallen Kingdom did the same thing but I couldn't argue with the fact that the film is a mix bag. I don't mind, don't get me wrong but I found everything about it to be modern. Let me get to the negatives. The acting. Well, I find the acting to be good but it's only a mix bag for the characters but you can warm up with mixes. Now I can get to the positives cause there are a few. John Williams is back to compose the theme of Jurassic Park and this time, he's doing a different theme and you know what? I really like this theme. I really like listening to it at the ending credits. Pete Postlethwaite is actually really good in it. You can't really go wrong with him. The scenes are thrilling with the dinosaurs but the bits of others are just kind of modern and cheesy. I'm just saying the dinosaurs are the best part about it when they're on screen and I love every minute of them. The third half act is what I like where the T-Rex is attacking San Diego. So that's it with mixes with good and a bit of bad. I really do like this movie for everything that thrills despite it's flaws in this even if you warm up with everything about it. It's not as good as the first film and that's saying something. It has it's dumb moments and good moments but I can't really complain about it. Richard Attenborough appears briefly in the film. He only appears with Jeff Goldblum and the end. So overall, The Lost World: Jurassic Park is an overall modern adventure flick for it's good special effects and the overall well known, Steven Spielberg, even though it's not one of his best films and not one of everybody's best sequels but I enjoyed it for what it is. Not to mention that the people had mix feelings about Basic Instinct thinking how convoluted it is about who killed Johnny Boz. So overall, this is not a bad film. It's an enjoyable sequel to Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park will return, but it won't be with Steven Spielberg. It'll be Joe Johnston next time.
