Review – The Lost World

Normally I don’t count movies that I saw on TV, but I’ve seen this one a couple of times already (including once in the theater), and the network premiere was sort of a special deal because it included some footage that wasn’t in the theatrical or video releases. Ultimately the extra scenes didn’t amount to much beyond a little extra character development for the sleazy nephew and the way-too-sympathetic big game hunter. I guess this one started out on the wrong foot when the only character from the first one that has more than a quick role in the sequel is the Jeff Goldblum character, whom I couldn’t stand in either film. Meandering and occasionally preachy plot. Impressive, expensive effects. Better on the big screen. Mildly amusing
