The Five Faces of **_LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK_**

Everything is bigger this time - from the cast to the action scenes and the setting; while the film feels like a true sequel, it also kills some of the tension and magic of the original. Part of the experience is the small scale of events.

**Julianne Moore** does a great job as a badass female scientist and almost single-handedly carries the film forward.

The dinosaurs still look convincing and scary as hell and repeat the successful realization from the first film.

A bigger cast means more characters to develop. Unfortunately, the film doesn't really bother to do much with its characters outside of the main cast.

A boring subplot is boring, even when it takes up a larger chunk of the running time when compared to the first film.

The little girl in this film doesn't really bring anything to the story and is thrown in there just because a _Jurassic Park_ film needs a child. She also doesn't act quite that well.

They just had to cram in that New York sequence into the last 20 minutes and totally ruin the ending on the island.

:frowning2:

Sadly, **Jeff Goldblum's** character has lost all of his sass and charm from the first film. Now, he's just an average family father turned family film hero.

The non-dino CGI, such as the rain and the explosions, look unrealistic in the way they did in most late 90s movies. They clearly burnt all money on the T-Rex.

The somewhat original plot of the first film has been replaced with this _Predator_ and _King Kong_ ripoff. Not even Spielberg's vision can save the worn-out plot.
