How can you top the classic that was Jurassic Park? The answer is that you cannot, however, The Lost World makes a good attempt. The movie takes place on Isla Sorna, where the dinosaurs were bred and engineered before transported to the island where Jurassic Park took place. This new island was abandoned and the dinosaurs thrived when left alone. The nephew of John Hammond decides it would be a good idea to take the dinosaurs and put it in a park in San Diego and thus sends a group of hunters. On the other side, John Hammond does not want that to happen and sends four people, including the returning Ian Malcolm, as they end up exploring the island and running away from the dinosaurs. The first 1.5 hours was good, and the film focuses upon the Tyrannosaurus a lot more. There were some stupid decisions made by characters but the chase sequences were great. The film's weakest point is the ending where the dinosaur gets to the city, it felt out of place and didn't really make for a good climax. Overall, The Lost World is a better sequel than you would have expected.
