The Lost World Jurassic Park In Review - Every Jurassic Park Movie Ranked & Recapped

[@KBABZ]

12:00 The reason why it's called The Lost World: Jurassic Park is because there was already a movie called The Lost World that came out in the 30s (same one Crichton named his novel after). It had a dinosaur rampaging around London, which was the inspiration for the San Diego finale in this one. The jump from Isla Sorna to San Diego meanwhile is a homage to King Kong (both Kong and the Rex are transported by a ship called the Venture). Nobody likes that jump cut either.

[@Akumadoken]

I think the hate for the CGI in this podcast is unfounded as I would argue that the CGI in this movie is better then what a majority of modern movies have in theirs. The CGI in this movie is really GOOD!

[@ninjanick7369]

@Ewan Callister Tim especially has the opinion that old movies are old, and therefore worse. And he is often very vocal with his takes. I haven’t listened to this all the way yet, but that seemed to be general take

[@marlonrobalino]

Yeah for 1997, the visuals for this movies was state of the art and honestly still holds up really well.

[@TheSt1092]

Not true @SmashBrosInitiative

I'm honestly surprised by how many people seem to dislike TLW recently. I remember it was very popular for a long time and I personally love it. I also saw it in theaters when I was 5, maybe that's why.

[@Caveboy0]

I never liked it as much as the first but I still watched it a lot. I really liked the baby t rex the whole rv Cliff sequence. Raptors in tall grass. The villain is a great character actor. And the T Rex in San Diego is super fun.

[@jainee4507]

The moment when the trailer is being pushed over the cliff is the best set-piece Spielberg ever directed.

[@KBABZ]

ALSO, the Lysene Contingency is from the novels! At the end it's revealed that the dinosaurs that escaped the island prey on herd animals who eat lysene-based plants, which puts them in populated areas and thus they kill people along the way. For some reason Jurassic Park avoided the "dinos escape to the mainland" theme in the first, third and fourth movies, so this important novel storyline people just DON'T associated with the movies, who instead wallowed in generic monster plots that take the main characters to the islands instead.

[@mikegates8993]

To be fair, the second book ignores that plot point too.

[@jizzledoops6789]

The funniest part of this In Review is Greg muttering "Toby" under his breath every time Richard Schiff's character is mentioned.

The harshness they have for this movie seems a little unnecessary. It has its problems but it’s still decent. It’s probably the second or third best JP movie and they’re dunking on it so hard they are probably gonna put it last.

3 is better, I'm sorry it just is. 2 is so fucking boring! 3 is the 2nd best of this series, anyone who thinks otherwise is (IMO and obviously have your own opinions and don't be a dick to people who disagree) just wrong.

[@KBABZ]

1:17:15 NO WAY I WAS MENTIONED!! I think an important factor here is that I won it BY ACCIDENT: when I submitted it I thought it was just a fun activity, had no idea it was a competition! The Camp Cretaceous Pack adds dinosaurs from the Camp Cretaceous animated series, including the three Baryonx, the Scorpius Rex and the bioluminescent Parasaurolophus (try saying that five times fast!).

[@crbsideprophet134]

Same! All the criticisms are correct but I wouldn’t say it’s a terrible movie. I’d say compared to the first movie, it is.

[@mikegates8993]

I had the opposite. I remember this movie being much better when I was a child.

[@Olliethemax]

This is one of the rare times that I have disagree with the KF crew. I'm fully aware that this is a hot take but I love TLW. Is it as good as the original? No. Is it my favourite? Yes. I love the tone of this film. It's like a darker, pulpier adventure film from the 40's. After we've seen the wonder of dinosaurs in the first film, thats not something you can replicate, so TLW goes heavier into the thriller/horror aspects of the original, e.g. the long-grass, the T-Rex in the tent, the opening, etc. And i like how the cast feels like they're a misfit crew that dont exactly get along, but have been thrown together against their will. Almost no one wants to be there, and i feel the dread and reluctance as Malcolm is pulled into a dino infested island once again. I will say that Srah does come off as naive and mildly annoying. I get that this island means a whole revolution in dinosaur information and research but c'mon, petting that stegosaurus' baby with no idea how it'll react? Not great, guys. Im sorry but the soundtrack, IMO, is my favourite of the series as well. I've honestly listened to the entire soundtrack multiple times all the way through. The heavier drums in scenes like approaching the island and the raptors in the long-grass play into the darker atmosphere and amplify every second, and I don't believe anyone doesn't get excited by the music in the hunt scene with Tembo's crew capturing all the dinosaurs. Speaking of Roland fucking Tembo, show me a more badass character in all this series. Pete Postlethwaite plays him to perfection. A grizzled veteran hunter quickly finding himself out of his depth and having to take matters into his own hands. Love it. Finally, the Cliff sequence? Best scene in the whole series. I said it. And as for the 'gymnastics vs raptor' and the San Diego ending? Never bothered me. Could they be improved? Sure. But they're existence in the film has never brought the experience down for me. I could talk about this film all day. I'd watch it anytime.

[@antoniomay167]

Couldn't agree more with everything you said. I was floored by how much they disliked this movie.

[@aaronrossvlogs]

I also love this movie.

I totally agree with you

[@pacificridge1122]

Greg going off about security guards was the best thing ever! I give his rant 5/5 gate arms

[@nicholasarkis6116]

This one gets way too much hate. If the first one is a 10/10, I'd give this one a solid 8/10.

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

with you there, I've always enjoyed this one

[@HylianGuard37]

I am kinda surprised how much you all rail against this one. Its not great don't get me wrong but I read ahead of the class and watched 3 already and that one really feels like it falls off a cliff. Billy sensually digging dinosaurs, Grant says nothing will get him back to the island and 5 minutes later goes back to the island for the same reason as before, the talking to the raptors, the whole ending sequence. In comparison to 3 they did a good job with this one

[@mikegates8993]

The only good thing you can say about 3 is that it understands what it is and doesn't try to be anything else. It's a cheap action movie and commits to that. This one, it tries to be exciting, while also having its environmental message and that leads the protagonists to either do very stupid or boring things, or it leads to Nick being a protagonist even though he's as much the villain as Nedry was in the first one, but without a redeemable motive.

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

I know this one has some issues but I always enjoy it when its on

[@thedarkknight2221]

I actually love this movie, well the first 2 acts, the San Diego thing is something I’m so so on. I especially loved how the dinosaurs in this movie are treated less like monsters and more like animals. Also John Williams theme (Malcolm’s Journey) for the scenes when everyone is on the move makes you feel like you are in for a true prehistoric safari. I hope at the very least they mention in Dominion what happened to all the animals there. Especially the baby T-Rex.

[@arodz21]

To be clear NICK: It's referred to in the films as the Lysine Contingency. Yes, it does involve a deficiency in Lysine but they call it the Lysine Contingency, as it's a Contingency plan to keep the spread of the animals if they ever got off of the island.

[@jackcampbell7099]

I LOVED this movie as a kid and I think it was the first introduction to Jeff Goldblum’s humor that resonated with me. He’s got quips in the first movie but the sass in this one is top notch

[@Keatonrw_]

If you look closely when the T-Rex is walking through the neighborhood you’ll see him mimic dribbling as he passes the basketball goal

[@darrickbeitinger7664]

11:34 Steven Spielberg directed Last Crusade too… right? 🤔 Edit: Steven Spielberg has directed all the Indiana Jones movies thus far

[@joehaley1147]

He did, I assume Nick meant number 2 movies.

[@loganbigmo]

1:15:37 so this is the first time chronologically the new "Rank those Abs" jingle was featured

[@devinpelech]

Jurassic Park is the perfect example of the books being better than the movies. A detail left out of the movies is that the Compys' saliva has a slight paralyzing agent. So when 20 jump on you, you might knock most of them off, but you're gonna get bit a few times, which slows you down the next time 20 jump on you, so even more will bite you. Eventually you just stop moving but are fully conscious as they start eating your soft bits. That's how Hammond dies in the books. Also I'm 99% sure that there were some raptors that snuck on board the ship that killed all the crew in the book.

[@devinpelech]

So weird how the lysine contingency was mentioned in the first movie and then never again mentioned in any other movie at all.

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

the reason everyone is dead on the ship is because they originally brought back raptors but reshot it with the t rex because it was too scary

[@n2nother]

Well they screwed up because it makes the movie dumb as hell.

[@preyingocelotgames4397]

@@n2nother yup, that whole second ending is weird

[@lordofthecrings]

I still consider this to be a pretty good movie. Doesn’t hold a candle to the original, but it’s still a Spielberg dinosaur movie. I personally thought the score was the best of the series, the CG holds up surprisingly well, the action was great and I love that SS went more heavily in a horror/thriller direction this time around. If it wasn’t directly following up one of the greatest movies of all time, I think it would be less demeaned

[@Godwilla39]

San Diego section is NOT in the book. Book was definitely rushed, and not Chrichton’s best, but movie follows it very, very loosely. In the book, Kelly is not Malcolm’s daughter, and the second team is led by Dodgson, the guy Nedry calls out in the cafe scene of movie 1.

[@SNONYM]

awe i loved this movie. super nostalgic because after loving the original the cgi in this movie was amazing and the scene in the beginning where they're in vehicles surrounded by stampeding dinosaurs i was hooked.

For in review series, an idea would be a "legends series" where you do an in review of films on the national film registry: On going and something you can flex to when stuff gets delayed etc.

So after Julianne Moore goes out of her way to touch and interact with a baby Stegosaurus, she then proceeds to yell at Vince Vaughn for attempting to light a cigarette and says, "We’re here to observe and document, not interact." Like what the fuck? I can't believe Spielberg directed this.

[@comic-guin528]

I’m extremely bias because I am a JP fanboy but, even without the nostalgia googles, The Lost World is not nearly as bad as y’all are saying imo. Tim calling Sarah worse than Jar Jar Binks!? That’s as harsh a criticism of a character can get. It doesn’t hold a candle to the first but nothing can. I think it’s judged way too harshly because the first one was pretty much perfect

[@audienorman66]

Man, I liked the second book. I remember at the time not liking the movie because it barely stuck to the book. The first Jurassic Park used parts of the book, because it would've been tough to get everything into one movie (a lot of that book content made it into Jurassic Park 3). With Lost World, it felt like they used the characters and some ideas from the book, but strayed from it a lot. This just makes me want to go back and read the books now.

[@lokithor99]

Velocipastor in review should be part of this

[@SpartanShepard]

I like TLW, Jurassic World, and yes even Fallen Kingdom. But with the latter two, I can understand why people hate those movies, and see a lot of valid criticisms. But TLW is one of those rare movies that I don't understand why it gets so much hate. It's far from being as amazing as the first, but is that's it's goal? I'd say for some people yeah, but for me I just want a dinosaur adventure with people being eaten (morbid I know). The gymnastics thing is not good, but it's 30 seconds of a 2 hour movie. And I LOVE the San Diego scene... I just think getting to that scene came out of nowhere, and was an obvious last minute addition. Other than that, I love this movie for what it is, a fun action, adventure film. The film I don't like is JP3, but we'll get there soon.

[@DanielHodder7]

Not sure if it has already been said but having read and loved the book I would say that there is nearly no correlation between the book and the movie. The antagonists Consist of three people who are looking to steal eggs from the island, there are two children who are not related to Malcolm and there are no plans to move dinosaurs or hunt them. I don’t know what Spielberg was thinking but I think he just wanted a King Kong moment in San Diego!

[@DClaBarraBrava]

The movie is VERY different from the book. Screenwriter David Koepp botched it….(he cameos as the guy that gets eaten at the Blockbuster door) Different goals & motives, different villains, Dodgson comes back, no ingen, no San Diego bullshit, and the deaths in the book are so much better

[@GP-pi5vg]

Yea the book is actually excellent and only has the high hide in common with the movie! Also what’s with merging the black boy and white girl from the book into one character and making Eddie a short fat guy when he was supposed to be big and athletic?

While I am nostalgic for this one, it is a wet noodle of an overall film, that is elevated tremendously by Spielberg. This is essentially what the first film would've been if it was directed by anyone else, which is really odd and funny. This needed a different director that can do schlock or pure popcorn entertainment which Spielberg just can't do very well with low substance material. Even he admits during filming he knew it was not good. Also, this made me lament that this film basically symbolized the end of Dean Cundey's career since he didn't get to participate in it, his visuals were sorely missed on this one. 3/5 on the KF scale.

Like I actually enjoy The Lost World more than the original Jurassic Park, and even though I don't expect there to necessarily be anyone within Kinda Funny who agrees with me on that, it would be nice to have someone interject and take the opposing position so I don't have to spend an hour and a half listening to one of my favorite movies get completely trashed without someone trying to defend it.
