VOTD: ‘The Lost World: Jurassic Park’ Honest Trailer
Everyone is anticipating the release ofJurassic Worldthis week, and we’re hoping to at least be entertained. There’s no chance the movie will be as good asJurassic Park, but hopefully it’s not terrible. If the buzz from the world premiere wasn’t enough of an impression of the sequel, we’ve got reviews from our ownPeter ScirettaandGermain Lussierto offer insight into the quality of the movie, so check those out.
But in the meantime, let’s take another look into the past at one of the less than satisfying sequels. Earlier this week we highlighted Everything Wrong withThe Lost World: Jurassic Park, but now we have theHonest Trailerfor Steven Spielberg’s misfire. Check outThe Lost Worldtrailer after the jump!
As you’re able to see, this one takes some pretty good digs as the dinosaur adventure sequel, but it’s not as petty, meandering or long as the Everything Wrong video. Still, it’s easy to see this sequel just doesn’t match the quality or power of the original film. More dinosaurs do not a quality story make. But they certainly helped sell more toys.
At the very least, at leastJeff Goldblumas Ian Malcolm helped make the proceedings a little easier to swallow with his dry wit and cynical nature. That’s exactly what was missing fromJurassic Park IIIand it sounds like that’s also a problem forJurassic Worldas well.
Anyway, if you need to get excited to seeJurassic World, despite some of the less than pleasant buzz that started circulating today, ensure you watch therecently released international trailerfor the sequel. It has the ominous, suspense of the first film, and still showcases plenty of the dinosaur action coming from the genetically modified Indominus Rex.
