In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctantly agrees to go to another island where cloned dinosaurs are roaming freely. Along with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and daughter, Malcolm has to deal with hunters, environmentalists, and corporate swine who stupidly bring back a big dino to Southern California, where it runs amok, of course. Spielberg doesn't seem to care that the pieces of this project don't add up to a real movie, so he hams it up with big, scary moments (with none of the artfulness of those in Jurassic Park) and smart-aleck visual gags (a yapping dog in a suburb mysteriously disappears when a hungry T-rex stomps by). A complete bust. --Tom Keogh

I watched this back in the late 90's and I remember being disappointed. I thought I would give it a second chance the other day since my son was watching. Ugh, it was even worse this time. It's too bad, because the first one was a classic.

Jurassic Park, the novel, was relevant to what was going on in theoretical science at the time. It wasn't about dinosaurs. It was about cloning, environmental science, and the ultimate scientific question: "Should we do it just because we can?"

Remember, JP the book came out in 1990. Dolly the cloned lamb wasn't born until 1995. Crichton was always on the cutting edge of that stuff and he always found a way to inject his (very conservative) views in the discussion in an intelligent way.

All the sequels after that were just about dinosaurs .. summer special EFX bonanzas with no real cultural purpose. Actual, Speilberg navigated around Crichton's strong political views in the original, so there were some teeth missing in that one, too.
