    Not as good as the first one. JP2 didn't leave an impression on me like JP1 and 3 have. After seeing JP3 I thought to myself that this should have been the second one. JP2 from what I remeber had badly drawn out sequences that just ruined the flow of the movie for me. And the horrible King Kong ending. Parts of it were amazingly corny or just dull. From what I remember. I should rent it again, maybe I will see something different. I like JP3. I feel it has many of the elements the first one did. Action, Suspense, plot, theory, and the flow was great. No part of it runs stagnant. Could have been better, but it surely isn't dull or horrible. reason for the armed forces, Dr. Ellie Sattler called in the troops. Probably has some high contacts with what she knows about the islands and could do so. I wouldn't send a couple guys in a dingy to rescue anyone from those islands. the ending made a lot of sense. But the Teradactles(sp?) would have been shot down. Only part I thought was bad.
