They can only get away with using that tagline since they now have Malcolm in it. Pretty boring poster otherwise though :/
All JP posters are boring. And with Ian back, I hope Lost World is NEVER referenced...
I view The Lost World the same way as I view Predator 2. On its own, without looking at it through the First Movie Glasses, it's a good film. Its only crime is being a sequel to an exceptional film..
Well, that, and it butchered the crap out a much better book. I think one scene from the book made the movie.

The first movie butchered the crap out of the first novel, but I don't hear you complain about that...
Probably one of the most disappointing things about the original movie for me was turning Hammond into a kindly old grandfather and ditching the obsessed, ruthless, cynical man from the book.

That's because it was. TLW was the only sequel Crichton ever wrote, and it's only because fans and Spielberg begged for it. Spielberg moreso because he desired an excuse to do a sequel almost immediately after he finished the first movie. You can really see Crichton's desire to end the entire thing once and for all, even though he had to retcon some of the plot points from the original novel, including Malcolm's death and the Isla Nublar facility not being the REAL dino factory. I've long maintained the idea that DX was written into the book ONLY so Crichton wouldn't be capable of writing a third, because all the dinosaurs were doomed to die.I always felt that The Lost World was written to capitalize on the success of Jurassic Park and didn't feel like something that Michael Chrichton had actually planned on writing. But then Jurassic Park was turned into a hugely successful movie and it seemed like Chrichton then decided that he'd write a sequel novel that he could sell the rights to for a sequel movie.
I can't believe they made ANY sequels to the first film. You'd think that people would learn from the first movie that bringing dinosaurs back to life was a terrible idea. I saw the second movie and hated it. I never saw the third.
Jurassic World was so bad I had to shut it off a quarter of the way through.
And now they're making another one..... smh
I was never a fan of this franchise. I enjoyed the first movie when it came out though I suspect that I wouldn't care too much about it now if I saw it again.
I don't get the appeal personally, but to each their own.
