It's better than the original

I don't understand why Hammond wanted mathematician Ian Malcolm to be part of the crew to go and film the island. I know the real reason he's there, because he was in the first film and audiences remember him. But it makes no sense from a story perspective.

Name some of them, please

Kill yourself if you can't handle someone else's opinion. Subjectivity is a part of life.

The book makes more sense

being this emotional and quick to anger

Must be brown. Anyway, your opinion is wrong. Take your own advice if you can't handle that.

projecting

Doesn't change the fact Lost World is better :^)

Yep. See You're not very good at it.

Agreed, just wish they brought back Sam neill

After Jurassic Park Sam Neil basically fucked around for over a decade doing random shitty Australian and New Zealand films that nobody had ever heard of

wasn't his gf there?

This thread was made by JPIIIcucks to make TLWchads look insane.

Yes, that explains why he went, but not why Hammond wanted him to be there to begin with

The dude should be criminally charged with manslaughter and endangering people's lives for what happened on that park

Watching it now, my first thoughts upon seeing this character is that he is almost certainly going to get ripped apart in a brutal way by dinos later on

It was kidnapping at most.

The charges, officer? It isn't a crime to simply resurrect murderous dinosaurs and to set them loose among humanity. What law have I broken?

The original was filled to the brim with suspenseful scenes, with a ton of iconic shots and quotes, and simple but likable characters. It's the Jaws of the 90s. Lost World, on the other hand, has one single suspenseful scene, the scene with the trailer hanging at the edge of a cliff, and the rest just feels like filler. T-Rex in the city is decently entertaining, but not suspenseful, and the characters are obnoxious and unlikable. It's just kinda dull. Not the worst thing in the world, but it's the quintessential sequel that's merely an adequate outing, which fails to capture the lightning in a bottle of the original.

the characters are obnoxious and unlikable

I think a lot of the movie could have been salvaged with better casting and following the source material more. They made even more egregious changes than the 1st movie, especially when it came to the characters

He just got ripped apart in a brutal way by some dinos

he was a real human bean

Oh, and I forgot (but unfortunelately remembered just now), that horrible scene where Malcolm's wife's daughter defeats the raptor with gymnastics. One of the most cringe scenes from the 90s, good lord. Had Fonzie never been a thing, "kicking the raptor" would be the phrase instead of "jumping the shark".

Ah you're spoiling this shit for me. I mean that's pretty much what I expected anyway. I'm at the part where Peter Stormare is getting attacked by the little green niggas

participating in a thread for a 20 year old movie and not expecting spoilers

Desu

I'm at the part where Peter Stormare is getting attacked by the little green niggas

useless sequence if you ask me, his character is completely irrelevant

If you're confused about why he starts to stumble and fall, it's because the scriptwriters forgot to mention the compys have a paralytic bite.

That actually makes sense. But I still just don't buy those little guys as a real threat in movie terms. That scene is pure comedy. They don't even weigh anything.

I used to think that as a kid because it had more dinosaurs, but as an adult I can see how bad it is compared to the first movie

It's because that scene was supposed to be Hammond in the novels, and it was after he trips down a hill after his grandkids scare the shit out of him playing with a trex noise thing. So he was basically crippled and unable to get away.

The waterfall scene in the movie is also something that was in the first book

I think it would be a good idea to do a Jurassic Park film where the dinosaurs actually have feathers. Have they done that already? Imagine a T-Rex with a horrific Alien Queen-style plume of white and red and black feathers like some nightmarish headdress.

But I still just don't buy those little guys as a real threat in movie terms.

That's because the writers didn't bother to include a scene where they disembowel him while he's paralyzed and helplessly watching his own guts get awkwardly pulled out by a flock of cutiesauruses.

kek, good one. Actually made me laugh.

It's also a failure because Goldblum doesn't have the leading man hero aura to carry the film. they brought in Vince Vaughn who has the qualities that Goldblum lacks, but his character is underdeveloped. Goldblum is just comic relief in the first film and has almost nothing to do plot-wise in it despite being part of the most kino set piece scenes.

Vince Vaughn

Was by far the worst casting choice

Mad I almost missed this thread. JP2 COULD have been better than the first one for sure. It had some of the best action set pieces in the series. The only problem is that Speilberg didn't even want to make it so he was lazy with the script and editing. I'm sure the thread has already talked about the massive velociraptor plothole at the end.

little kid can stop a raptor while holding a door

Laura dern can hold a raptor with a fence with her legs even after she hurt her leg

Sam Neil can’t hold a raptor behind a door and needs a lady to help him hold the door

Explain this bullshit

the brave black girl just did some gymnastics swinging bar routine and round house kicked a raptor through a window which got impaled on some wood. take that capitalism

Vince Vaughn is annoying and should have died instead of Richard Schiff

The big set piece to end the segment is a raptor clumsily slipping on some roof tiles

dude the train part is the most accurate depiction of new york in the 90s

Should add some looney tune noises to the scene

why? didn't read the books but he seemed fine as a side character from what i remember

it was a money grab geared towards the 5-10 year old autists who liked the first movie. just shut fhe fuck up and enjoy the nostalgia you gaylords

Those trains were way more comfy than the newer lines. Also prevented negro antics of dancing in the middle of the aisle

He wasn't even a character in the book. They made him up for the movie and he was just a horrible actor and annoying all around. He felt very out of place in the film.

I remember seeing the first teaser for the Lost World during the super bowl and it was the most exciting thing I'd ever seen. It was the first sequel I watched in the theaters and it would become one of many monumental disappointments. I will never forgive Spielberg for what he did to me

moron dipshit idiot

Nedry is a quality character and typifies everything the sequel lacks. There's no actual characters or motivations. There's no fucking plot even. There is a warmed over Muldoon rehash character and a more weeny British version of Hammond and that's it.

Same story but with Jurassic World. At least Spielberg made other cool movies. Colon treverowrewow sucks at making movies. Just the most blandest shit ever

What do I have in store for me when I watch JP3?

A fun romp with a heartwarming family ending

The first is better. I like the scene where they are trying to wrangle friar tuck. I like the stegosaurus scene. I like Jeff goldblum. The buildings, story, etc isn’t as good. It’s still a good movie.

I just can’t believe JP worlds make JP3 look good. I can’t sit through them. Stupid scenes with blue. I can’t stand how fucking dumb JP Worlds are

You love trooning out and dialating btw

Not mentioning the cool dino-wrangler scene

It's worse than the original but sitll very god, I was shocked to find out how hated this movie was.

It's one of the most underrated John Williams scores for sure

please respond to my pathetic bait

Lol

The hatred is exaggerated, but it's really dull and underwhelming. It makes Die Hard 2 look like Terminator 2 by comparison.

It's story and characters are definitely mid but it's action scenes are great, the caravan cliff scene, raptors in the high grass, trex poking it's heck through the waterfall, the bad guy getting fucked up by the little dinos. Again it's nothing compared to the original but it's still a good movie.

It's peak comfy.

That's what I find so weird about it. I remember so much from it, all those set pieces that you bring up are forever ingrained in my mind, and yet whenever I sit down and watch the film, I'm always underwhelmed by how boring most of it is.
