I’m 35. When did people collectively decide that the Lost World wasn’t good in all this time?

Because I loved it since it came out, as did all my friends. I’ve never met anyone in my generation that didn’t like that movie.

I loved the Michael Crichton novel, but I personally wasn't a fan of the film.

I thought the visual effects were astounding, Jeff Goldblum & Julianne Moore gave fantastic performances, & the trailer sequence was awesome. However, it completely lacked the heart of the first film.

Spielberg himself admitted that it was a dud and that he only made the sequel to try to recapture the success of the 1st film.

From the start. No one enjoyed that film.

Edit: No one else except for you

Well it made over 600 million dollars on a 73 million dollar budget, so I don’t think I’m alone on this one.

Also, the rotten tomatoes scores are just above 50% for both critics and audiences, so that means half of all the reviewers who saw it like it.

i mean, things can make money that are bad. see Michael Bay movies. McDonalds. Nestle. Gymastics to kick a raptor is silly at best. the whole T-Rex free in LA stuff at the end felt so tacked-on. I watched it, liked the effects but felt more like a money grab as the first one was FANASTIC. every JP movie since has been a downgrade. great CGI, but horrible story and character motivations.
