Shooting straight of the gate, this movie had very big shoes to fill when everyone expected it to live up to the expectations of the first film. Sadly, this movie fell short of it mark with critics and the public.
Bringing back Jeff Goldblum to play Ian Malcolm was one …

It’s probably because I’ve become desensitized a bit over the years but I remember the movie Man’s Best Friend as being much scarier than it was when I watched it last night.
