ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
jerekra King of the Lost World is one of those movies where I kinda knew what it would be like. I figured it would just be a cheesy adventure/survival film that is often on the SYFY channel. But this was way worse and did not entertain me at all.The story is pretty old. People get stranded on an island and have to survive. There are also tribes of savages there and giant spiders, gorillas, and dragons. Yeah you read me right, there are actually dragons in this movie.None of the human characters are interesting. Some of the girls in this film are sort of hot, but not hot enough to justify watching this movie. The acting is horrible, even the bloopers that they show for this movie seemed like they were acted out horribly.The giant spider is lame, the dragons are stupid, and the giant gorilla is poorly done since his mouth usually does not move when he roars.Do not watch this movie. I saw nothing redeeming in it.
kiawa77 Here we go. It's Saturday morning and while just getting up and around, I turn on the SyFy Channel. "King of the Lost World" is just starting, which makes me very, very suspicious."This must be an Asylum rip-off of something," I thought to myself and decided to watch to see of what. At first, I thought of course it would be The Lost World. But it also had the elements of the TV series Lost. But then... wait for it... wait for it... oh yes, King Kong. Of course they never say "King Kong"; that great ape is just "he" the whole time. Wouldn't want to invite any unwanted lawsuits.As usual, the Asylum has churned out another meandering, un-thrilling, steaming pile of dung that can't even qualify as a B movie. Despite the names you'll recognize in the cast, the acting is forced at best, and the script is just ridiculous. The effects are equally bad, if not worse. My favorite was the little fake ivy you can get at Walmart that somebody pulled with a fishing line to terrify the team. It's all so fake.Oh yeah, and where are the dinosaurs? And I don't mean just the fake impaled dinosaur head. It's the lost world after all...Well, maybe when the Asylum releases "Star Conflicts: The Empire Hits Back", they'll be redeemed...
class_e18 OK, currently I'm living in China, and I bought what I thought was Jurrasic Park 4...which I didn't think there was. Well, there isn't...at least not yet, Steven Spielberg is about to produce it in 2009 or 2010. So when I put this DVD in, to my surprise, the only dinosaurs I saw was stolen stock footage from Jurrasic Park 3 which they continued to play over and over again but without any real relevance to the story/plot.Now I noticed that the other comments on this page didn't mention anything about this stolen stock footage, so I guess I should feel lucky that the Chinese steal everything and sell it cheap too. Awesomely bad movie!
lordzedd-3 Where to begin on this pile of dog plop? The DVD cover, that's a good spot. The DVD cover has a picture of a giant ape, an ancient temple and three big helicopters. One, the ape looks nothing like the DVD cover and there is no sign of the Helicopters or the ancient temple. So right off the bat the movie lies to us, lie number two. The DVD box claims that this movie and King Kong was based on the lost world. There were no big monkeys in the Lost World. Now that we are done exposing the lies of the box let's move on to the movie itself. The CG is a joke, the story doesn't make any sense. If they were over South America, how did they get on an island? Bruce Boxleitner played a Government agent looking for a downed military plane with a nuke in it. Once they find it, what does he call in PLANES! When he knows full well from his own experience that planes don't work there. That was just stupid. SPOILER WARNING, Bruce Boxleitner blows up the nuke killing the big monkey. Leaving two people trapped there with no hope of rescue. It's stupid, it's deceitful, it's just a waste of your time. But the one I truly feel sorry for is Bruce Boxleitner. He's better this this pile of puke. Bruce, what the hell were you thinking? THE NOOSE!
