crocodile 8,012 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Oh, you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. It is a fun, campy film, that is supposed to be bad.There is no such thing as wrong (or right) perspective. There is only perspective.And the film doesn't make sense to me at all. Even in its genre.Karol, who hates TLW's ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ah, well. You win. For once. The ending seemed anticlimatic to me. But the original one was even worse.Karol, who likes salt water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 to drink salft water one organism must be built for that, live in or near the seas.Example: gulls, fish and galapago's iguanas.I think T-Rexes were mainland creatures so, its rather unfeasible it could drink salt water without having side effects, and animals insticts knows what is bad... but you never know...BTW TLW true ending is very beautiful, and worth the city scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 But at times feels like it's a copy of the first film.But I love the score and the dark tone. And most of the visuals are great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The dinosaur attacks someone at the beginning, there's a majestic sequence/music for the first view of a dinosaur, the first major T-Rex sequence takes place in the rain with a car, The Raptor sequence takes place at the end with the victims being persued thru the compound.Granted there are alot of other differences but the major set pieces and structure almost copy JP.

Morlock 11 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 The fact that the whole sequence doesn't make sense. He gets out of the bay to the city to search for water? Dumb.Karol Aside from the fact that, yes, the bay only has salt water, 'dumb' is something that is not a bad thing in a campy film. And the are different perspectives. You can take a film and look at it as one kind of film, and then look at it in an entirely different way. First time I saw TLW, I thought it was serious. It sucked, I hated it. Most recent time I saw, I noticed that it was not supposed to be taken seriously. My perspective changed, and it made the film better. I still maintain that TLW is a slightly better film then JP. I disagree there. I think that JP captures a dynamic sense of adventure that I love. And also, it contains a subtext that I loved, one that is evident, though far less interesting in TLW. I also disagree about the scores. TLW is great fun (Action music with calypso rythems? fantastic!), with a tremendous theme, but there is some real majesty and excitment in the first one. I do agree, however, that they do not look or feel the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 75 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 As far as I'm concerned, The Lost World is not a better movie than Jurassic Park. It follows in the tradition of sequels which aren't as good as the original.Rabbit--who thinks that Jurassic Park is overrated, but still good.

Ollie 1,059 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Wow, I can't believe you guys are actually debating the T-Rex drinking out of the pool.That thought never crossed my mind when I saw the film. Common sense would tell you he wasn't thirsty when he got off the boat. As he was walking thru the neighbor hood he got thirsty and stopped for a drink.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 The tranquiliser and stimulant dose Ingen gave the rex made him thristy and later hungry. As sarah said. Water that pours from our houses plumbery is chlorinated, nos AS chlorinated as a pool, but pools, chlorinated correctly, should pose no threat to humans. Much less that salt wated.I haw seen swallows and swifts drink in pools. I hope they didnt got themselves terminaded in the end... I know salt water pools. The shallow small ones for little kids. But they are never refilled with salt water... draw you own conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
