The movie itself has a lot of issues, mostly having to do with the pacing (It takes 40 minutes for anything to happen and has been described by may as "boring, and I tend to agree), the characters (most of them are unlikable and somehwat hypocritical), the animatronics (not on par with the first film, especially the Rexes), and the ending (I love the Rex in San Diego scene but a  lot of people don't)

On the whole, it isn't a terrible film. It's greatest misstep being not quite understanding what the public wanted to see. It has some legitimately great, tense, downright scary scenes, and the score is just incredible. Spielberg took it in a different direction and he paid the price. I know. Slowly paced, not enough raptor screen time, epic Godzilla style city invasion but I'd still call The Lost World a JP film. /// is a poor excuse for a Jurassic Park film and Jurassic World is too modern and different from the first 2. It's like the Star Wars prequels - they simply don't feel like a Star Wars movie.
