CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
c-conley90 I mean it only one scene in this movie is worth watching and even then for the men in the room. Just one scene with the lesbian cave girls and the stewardess getting her top ripped open and being felt up and kissed. The only moment of enjoyment I got out of the movie, were the hot cave girl lesbians. The rest was painful to behold, painful,the acting, the special effects, the bad storyline. But that one scene, is it the only, thing that spices this movie up. That is sad that the only enjoyment you can get out of this movie, is some unexpected female nudity and lesbianism. Please stay away from this movie, try to find that one scene online or something if you must be please just stay away. It's another Asylum stinker ripping-off blockbusters so please just walk away from them.
miked6022 Wow....where do you begin to review this trash? Since it is an obvious ripoff of Peter Jackson's "King Kong" and "Jurassic Park,' the best place to begin would probably be with this film's special effects. Ray Harryhausen effects they are not. They are elementary at best. A child could do a better job with animation and effects using an Etch-A-Sketch.The sound. Why can't any of the good people at The Asylum ever think to put a mic on their actors and actresses when they try to make a film? I'm pretty sure they are not quoting Shakespeare, but maybe it would be nice to hear character dialogue from time to time.The characters. How can they be so stupid? It really is comforting when a flight attendant of a commercial airline mistakes a fighter jet for the plane she is supposed to be working on. Too bad you can't write sarcasm.The actors. Bruce Boxleitner has proved that his best days are far, far behind him. He makes Jeff Denton in this movie look like Marlon Brando, which is not a very easy thing to do. Perhaps he should try to get Kenny Rogers to make another "Gambler" movie with him instead of making this garbage. Everyone has bills to pay, but an actor of Boxleitner's reputation should have more pride than to be cast in this film.I bought this movie for $1 on eBay. It was part of a double feature DVD. Even for $1, I feel like I was ripped off. "King of The Lost World," to call it a terrible movie would really be an insult to terrible movies everywhere. Don't waste your time.
styujio Despite the title and being an absolute rip-off of King Kong, this B-movie is pretty good. There are a number of awesome-looking creatures in the film. The story is sort of far-fetched but the jungle-adventure filming locations and actors Bruce Boxleitner and Rhett Giles' performances make the movie entertaining. The story is about a group of survivors of a passenger plane who try to find their way out while battling numerous creatures. I really love the creatures: a giant spider, man-eating plants, giant cave scorpions, flying reptiles, a giant gorilla (actually its a gigantic Bigfoot with abs) and although not creatures, a tribe of vicious natives. This are some of the few things that make this movie atrocious: the natives are plane survivors who crashed long ago??!! Are you kidding?!! That is stupid. Why can't it just be a tribe of religious Native Americans who lived in the Amazon Jungle? Simple as that. The second stupid thing about KOTLW is that the cave scorpions are afraid of camera flashes??!! OK, that makes a little sense, since they probably are adapted to live in caves, so the bright and sudden flashes hurt their eyes. 'The Lost World' has dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals and Native American and Ape Man tribes. But KOTLW has dragons??!! Dragons make this movie look like fantasy, rather than sci-fi and adventure and the giant 'gorilla' is just an over-sized monkey-man. The CGI for the monkey-man is blurry and I can see its face clearly, the animation for the giant cave scorpions could not be seen clearly, since scorpions are black and caves are pitch black. But despite the numerous flaws, King of the Lost World still makes a good sci-fi flick.
lordzedd-3 Where to begin on this pile of dog plop? The DVD cover, that's a good spot. The DVD cover has a picture of a giant ape, an ancient temple and three big helicopters. One, the ape looks nothing like the DVD cover and there is no sign of the Helicopters or the ancient temple. So right off the bat the movie lies to us, lie number two. The DVD box claims that this movie and King Kong was based on the lost world. There were no big monkeys in the Lost World. Now that we are done exposing the lies of the box let's move on to the movie itself. The CG is a joke, the story doesn't make any sense. If they were over South America, how did they get on an island? Bruce Boxleitner played a Government agent looking for a downed military plane with a nuke in it. Once they find it, what does he call in PLANES! When he knows full well from his own experience that planes don't work there. That was just stupid. SPOILER WARNING, Bruce Boxleitner blows up the nuke killing the big monkey. Leaving two people trapped there with no hope of rescue. It's stupid, it's deceitful, it's just a waste of your time. But the one I truly feel sorry for is Bruce Boxleitner. He's better this this pile of puke. Bruce, what the hell were you thinking? THE NOOSE!
