A sequel that tries very hard. It succeeds in some places, and fails in others. I used to hate this film. But after rewatching this, I must be honest, its not as bad as I remember. Speilberg attempts to top the first film and ends up borrowing from superior films such as King Kong and Godzilla. However, this movie does keep you sucked in with some good action, great special effects, and exhilarating chase scenes. However, that’s not enough to save it. The story is rather dull and there’s little character(like there was any in the first movie). By no means a failure, just not the great sequel the average JP fan would want.
The acting is good, most notably from the returning Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcolm. The supporting cast is good as well. I enjoyed the performances of Julianne Moore and Vince Vaughn.
The visuals are spectacular. Speilberg kinda overdoes em in this movie, though. The dialogue is a little weak at moments.
