Why It's Better Than The Lost World
- It is a lot more action packed than its prequel.
- The execution is way more swift and compact, without any sort of filler.
- Unlike the prequel it has no pointless and boring dialogue about environmentalism and father-daughter relationship.
- It relies a lot less on scenes about dinosaurs killing humans, with only three deaths on screen against the many scenes of its prequel.
- Fan favourite character paleontologist Alan Grant returns in this movie after his absence in The Lost World.
- A musical score more faithful to the original score John Williams composed for the first movie and better suited for the tone of movie, unlike the one John Williams composed for the prequel.
- More dinousaurs are seen in the movie and have more screen time. In addition to that, it is worth to notice that the movie also features a long scene with Pteranodons, which were creatures which lived at the same time of dinosaurs.
