12 Sci-Fis With Bafflingly Low Rotten Tomatoes Scores

3. The Lost World: Jurassic Park - 51%

Mars Attacks Rotten Tomatoes

There's something disheartening about knowing a Spielberg film doesn't score high on Rotten Tomatoes, and, compared to other entries in the Jurassic Park franchise, The Lost World is still a decent movie.

While the argument could be made that The Lost World didn't carry the same wonder, charm or charisma of the first film, Steven Spielberg does still take his time with a number of shots and set pieces, and the decisions of a majority of his characters still make sense.

Most reviews of The Lost World comment on how much the sequel lacks charming characters, and that is fair to say since Ian Malcolm is promoted/reduced to the straight-man of the film with no one zany or chaotic to bounce off.

But the sequences involving the capturing of the herbivores by InGen, the mother and father T-Rex getting their baby back from Malcolm & Co. and of course the Velociraptors in the tall grass are still some of the most tense and exciting entries in the franchise.

Any and every ranking of the Jurassic Park films will always put The Lost World in second place, it's weird that the Tomatometer score doesn't say otherwise.

I overthink a lot of things. Will talk about pretty much anything for a great length of time. I'm obsessed with General Slocum from the 2002 Spider-Man film. I have questions that were never answered in that entire trilogy!
