THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK
Sure it's awful, but you gotta laugh.
1997
Directed by Steven Spielberg
Written by David Koepp (based on the novel by Michael Crichton)
With Jeff Goldblum (Dr. Ian Malcom), Julianne Moore (Dr. Sarah Harding), Vince Vaughn (Nick Van Owen), Vanessa Lee Chester (Kelly Curtis), Richard Attenborough (John Hammond), and Pete Postlethwaite (Roland Tembo)
Spoiler alert: high
Note: this is a re-edited version of a review posted in June 2015, to commemorate the release of the rather bad fourth film in the Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Annoyingly, The Lost World somehow manages to be significantly worse than even its distant, degraded sequel. (So thank God for Jurassic Park III, am I right? That movie's a Goddamned pip!)
