Quite often the sequel of something great turns out unsuccessfully. But I can't say the same about the second part of "Jurassic Park" - yes, it isn't as splendid as the first part which is the classy one however it's also worth to watch. I suppose the point is that its director is Steven Spielberg as well who is a whale at filmmaking. As for a definite advantage, "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" seems more dynamic that makes two hours elapse pretty fast.
As for characters, they're simple, I mean a viewer understands straight away who is good and who is bad. And no, it isn't the film disadvantage - that's its feature which may either pleasure or not. Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore, Vince Vaughn, Pete Postlethwaite acted well but the biggest star remained T.Rex - dinosaurs are the sign of Jurassic film series after all.

Quotations
* * *
Roland Tembo: Rex just fed, so he won't be hunting for a while.Dr. Ian Malcolm: Just fed? I assume you're talking about Eddie? You might show a little more respect, the man saved our lives by giving his.
Roland Tembo: Then his troubles are over. My point is, predators don't hunt when they're not hungry.
Nick Van Owen: No, only humans do.
Roland Tembo: Oh, you're breaking our hearts! Saddle up, let's get this moveable feast under way!
* * *
John Hammond: It is absolutely imperative that we work with the Costa Rican Department of Biological Preserves to establish a set of rules for the preservation and isolation of that island. These creatures require our absence to survive, not our help. And if we could only step aside and trust in nature, life will find a way.
* * *
Dr. Ian Malcolm: It's fine if you wanna put your name on something but STOP putting it on other people's headstones.
* * *
Dr. Ian Malcolm: [to Hammond] So you went from capitalist to naturalist in just 4 years. That's something.
* * *
Sarah Harding: [to Ian] I've worked around predators since I was 20 years old. Lions, jackals, hyenas... you.
* * *
Dr. Ian Malcolm: The queen, the goddess, my inspiration.
* * *
Eddie Carr: Violence and technology... not good bedfellows!
* * *
Kelly Malcolm: [to Ian] You like to have kids but you don't want to be with them, do you?
* * *
InGen Worker: You okay, Mr. Ludlow?Peter Ludlow: I don't know, how do I look?
* * *
Roland Tembo: Ajay, go down to my ranch, take a look around the trophy room, and then tell me what kind of quarry is on this hunt that would interest me?
