The Lost World is such a bizarre and worse movie. It has the production values and some very cool set pieces that give it the excitement a JP movie should have, but, as you laid it out, in the service of a much crappier storyline and annoying characters.
Also, Spielberg sometimes likes to have soyface point-at-the-screen moments in his movies. The t. rex terrorizing San Diego is one such moment, and the nuclear blasted refrigerator in Crystal Skull is another such moment. Truly, the duality of man can be seen in his occasionally extremely baffling film-making decisions.
As a kid watching it I didn't realize the steep drop off in quality, because as you say high production dinosaur set pieces that I thought was cool. Also I had a bunch of cool action figures with nets and stuff for catching dinosaurs. But it's so worse.
But then it also weighs into the at the time current debate in palaeontological circles about whether a T-Rex would care for it's offspring taking a definitive stance on yes, which is kind of neat, but then back to trash like completely unnecessary San Diego part.
I still like it more than 3 even though Sam Neil comes back for that.
The “Godzilla” part of the movie is so bad and doesn’t make sense. The lost world is basically two separate movies
