The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)

Now I recently acquired the books for free, from a giveaway thing. So I read the first and enjoyed it, then I read the second and LOVED it. I simply loved the character of Dr. Levine, and the kids. I imagined parts in the book on the main screen, like when the raptor sniffs the rapper and slowly looks up, scowling. But did I see that? No. Did I even see Levine? No. Arby? No.

Don't get me wrong, it was an ok movie, but what happened? The book was awesome, and it didn't need to be changed. The saddest part is that they still grabbed characters and ideas from the book, but that's about it.

All in all, it is a decent movie. Good plot, good acting, good everything, just somewhat disappointing in my opinion.

Rating : 5/10

I read the book first, and got excited about the movie coming out. Like most other adaptations, they can't put every single detail into the movie, and the one thing that I really wanted to see was one of those things.

There was a dino that had chameleon genes, so it was able to change color to match the environment (in case you weren't aware). How great would that've been on the big screen? Other than that, it was a pretty good movie with a lot of the same well-developed characters and action that you'd expect from a Crichton/Spielberg movie.
