... than flame! ;^)

FTR, I found "The Lost World" to have elements that I consider superior to the first in the series. I loved that tongue 'n cheek series of scenes toward the end of the picture where the T-Rex is loose and rampaging through suburban California! As for tension, that scene with the research RV over the cliff with it's cracking glass sequence is an all time classic, IMHO. Also, the scene where the raptors are moving through the tall grass and picking off members of the corporate sponsored safari is very effective! So, to make a short story longer, from my perspective "The Lost World" had fewer continuity errors, more suspense, better overall effects and flashes of wit which were missing in either of the other entries.

Nevertheless, just so you don't get the idea that my critique is intended to singe that flame suit of yours, I pretty much agree with your opinion of almost everything else on the list.
