"Mommy's very angry"

And so is daddy, in this Jurassic Park sequal that includes not one, but two T-Rexes. For a sequal, I thought this held up well, though it still can't come close to the sharpness of the first Jurassic Park. Though it comes down to mostly the story that never flows with the ease of the first film, and a group of characters that don't seem to click as well either, this is very enjoyable and thrilling at times, and deserves more credit than it receives.
I was actually a bit surprised when I found out that Spielberg worked on this sequal. The overall quality didn't feel like his work, and in addition, the music by John Williams was good, but less than what I would expect from him. The action was definelty more abundant in this sequal, and still contained several scary moments involving the ever famous carnivores - TRex and Raptors, and both we see alot more of this time around. Although there were more action scenes, those of the first film felt like they were put together very well, while these had your every-day slap-on approach without as much thought behind them. The action in the first film felt like it progressed the plot along, while here, its more for just action purposes. The TRex in San Diego scene is interesting. Its fun in one sense, cause its almost a guilty pleasure of the "just what if?" scenario, but when you look back unfortunately it feels so unnecessary for the story.
Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) returns from the first film in the lead role this time around, which is one of my favorite things about the film because I actualy enjoyed his character so much from the first film. Things have changed since last time we saw him, and his character has changed too, but still enjoyable. The remaining cast of stars was nice to see in a film like this, but just because you are a good actor doesn't mean this is a film that flows naturally for you. In other words, they were all good, but felt bit more out of place than the naturality of those in the first film. Other characters who make a return from the original Jurassic Park include John Hammond and his grandkids, but for nothing more than some cameos.
All in all this is a good film, for a sequal. There is plenty to be criticized, but these are all deatails and overall the movie is still filled with dinosaur fun, action and scares. Not as good as the original, but better than the third.
