You are just a Negative Nancy.
I actually just watched Lost World last night. I've never liked it but last night I actually got some enjoyment out of it, I think for the first time ever. I hadn't seen it in about 6-7 years and I had the benefit of watching on it's own without having watched the original beforehand, and I think after being burned by JPIII and double-burned by JW, seeing something that was merely mediocre was quite refreshing. Unbelievably it still had some of the wonder and vibes of the first. It actually felt like a Jurassic Park movie, albeit vastly inferior to the original. But that's something that's been missing from this franchise ever since.
Anyway, I can't tell you how much I hated JW. It was just truly godawful abysmal trash. Just the lowest of the low commercial cash-in crap. This new one looks like more of that.
I'll probably end up seeing it with a buddy who loves the franchise, and using my moviepass will make me feel like I didn't waste money, so I'll give it a chance to prove me wrong. I gave Lost World a chance to prove me wrong last night and it finally did. So we'll see if this one can do the same thing. I'm certainly not going in with any expectations whatsoever.
