My movie and book reviews: The lost world: Jurassic park(1997) PG-13 Well, it looks like "Something has survived." Welcome back to my fourth review so far. You guys said you like the reviews, so I'm going to make even more corny comments, and more exaggerated paragraphs... I know, but those are my best quality's. HISTORY OK, before I start the history I must say that this film is a masterpiece. And it was partly adapted from a masterpiece. Now, I will be doing a review on The lost world novel(which includes Dinosaurs defecating in unison, and a crazy professor riding a bicycle on Sorna), but that review will come after this JP/Carnosaur marathon I'm currently writing. OK, now into the the History. Our story starts when Michael Crichton wrote The lost world in 1995(the same year as Carnosaur 2 in fact). This novel was later adapted by Spielberg in 97', and it became a MAJOR success. But there are some things that were left out completely, when it was adapted: 1. Lewis Dodgson, Howard King, George Baselton, Dr. thorne, Richard Levine, and Arby, are COMPLETELY taken out of the film. It seems they were replaced by different ones like: Roland Tembo, AyJay, and Peter Ludlow. 2. Whole points of the book were removed. Such as: The DX virus, Dodgson steeling eggs, and main land sub-plot. Now that we got that out of the way, let's move on to trouble production of this film. During the end of filming, Spielberg wanted to end the movie with Pteranodons attacking a helicopter. Before this, he decided he wanted to do the classic, T.Rex Buck on the mainland sequence, but he decided to change it to the Pteranodons. AGAIN, it wad changed to the Buck rampage, which upsetted many of the crew. They tried to change Spielberg's decision, but it was futile... I still can't understand how they wanted to end it like. It would make it seem really rushed. PLOT The plot of the film is gold. I mean the story of the two teams on Sorna, and having two VERY different agendas, makes the story perplexing. on one hand, you have the Ingen team, who wants to steal the Dinosaurs away from site B. On the other, you have Ian Malcolm, and a small party of people there, to just document, and study the animals. When all hell breaks loose, it keeps you latched on, like a tick! OK, that was really disgusting...sorry... Anyway, what this movies plot offers is amazing: the two teams, the Buck and Doe rex's hunting the group, the mainland plot, and the Jurassic park: San Diego scheme. INTERMISSION before we continue on through our track through the lost world, I must say, this movie is the darkest, and saddest JP movie. I know you all think JW:FK was sad because they had a Brachiosaurus get burned to death slowly, in lava and pyroclastic flow... What? I'm just bringing back old memories... From a few months ago... What makes this movie so sad is that. Almost EVERYBODY dies. And they bite the dust horribly(but in Carter's case: "Bite the mud", because he got smashed... Well you know) although many people have died in the JP/W franchise, this movie has the most. You have Eddy Carr(who is a true hero), gets torn in two by the pair of Rexes, while trying to save Ian and the group. Then you have Peter Ludlow, who gets his legs broke by the Buck Rex, and then is eaten alive by the bab Rex(also called Junior). There's also Ayjay, and the rest of the Ingen group, who are mauled by the long grass Raptors. And then of course there's Dieter Stark, who gets swarmed by Compys. Now, this has been a long intermission. but it probably is necessary to the review. CHARACTERS Carnosaur had interesting characters. So did Jurassic park. Carnosaur 2 really didn't. But TLW:JP has the best characters, I believe, in the franchise: the beloved Ian Malcolm, Sarah Harding, The infamous Roland Tembo, the nature-lover Nick Van Owen, the dirt bag Peter Ludlow, and more. While the as pet of fun people in the Carnosaur series pretty much killed itself by the second film, The lost world Presented Fan-favorites, that are still love to this day. The plethora of people makes it easier to make the body-count rise. Stuck of course, make the movies scarier than the first. MY FAVORITE SCENE This is easy to pick: the long grass sequence. Yes, it was quick, but the sight of the slender tails of the beasts up in the air, as they tear the hunters apart, makes the scene memorable. Also this is my favorite variety of Velociraptor, so or makes it better. THE CARNOSAUR TIE-INS Note: there are not many Carnosaur tie-ins, or things similar with TLW:JP. So I'm going to try my best. 1. The main focus of both carnosaur 2. And TLW:JP strangely, is that there is a "lost world", or in carnosaur 2's case, a plutonium mine, where Dinosaurs have managed to survive without any knowledge of it. 2.(oh boy, is this stretched out) in The lost world, and Carnosaur 3: primal species, we see Dinosaurs on a boat, and on the mainland of California. Verdict This movie for me isn't as good as the first carnosaur, or JW:FK, it still is a classic, and my favorite original sequel. So I give it a four and a half, out of five. Next up: Carnosaur 3: primal species!(Trust me, you'll be digging your eyes out with spoons when you get done watching it... So Ill be blind by the next review... Dang, I'm so stupid for doing the reviews...)
