I'm, eh, just gonna leave this here...

"The problem with The Lost World is that it eliminates that sense of isolation."
If that's a problem (I'm not sure it is), it's got to be pretty goddamn low on the list. Absence of any sense of wonder, hamfisted writing, awkward pacing, almost exactly the same roster of dinosaurs, bringing back Malcolm only to have him fully-shirted and largely humourless, portraying the animals almost solely as monsters, that slightly nasty tone that pervades right from the girl's attack at the start, losing the message...
I agree with the article that TLW would be better-remembered if
it was the first film, and didn't have that towering yardstick of Jurassic Park to live up to, but it's still riddled with issues.
Got to say though, I don't mind Kelly (under the proviso that a child is arbitrary - she's no Eric, at least) or Rexzilla. And there are some pretty damned excellent action sequences.
