4.5
The film retains a certain naive wonderment, the story (Eurocentric as it may be) still holds up, and Wallace Beery is an inimitably hirsute Professor ..
Time Out
3.0
The main attraction, however, is Willis H. OBriens pre King Kong stop motion monster effects.
3.5
The tremendous special effects of Willis OBrien, who later did the same for King Kong, make this film essential viewing for film historians.
Sover
1.5
Harry Hoyt directed, combining incredible special effects (the monsters) and unbearable melodrama (the actors).
Chicago Reader
4.5
Through wonderful photographic skill and infinite patience in the camera work.
Ny Times
3.0
The tremendous special effects of Willis OBrien, who later did the same for King Kong, make this film essential viewing for film historians.
Dennis Schwartz Reviews
4.5
Great fun in itself and a clear forebear of the Jurassic Park films.
Film 4
4.0
Like Cotton Twines The movie starts out with a news report coldly discussing the subject matter.
Cultured Vultures
3.8
It doesnt always hold up, and its pacing has a tendency to drag, but its so visually impressive that it continues to endure today.
From the Front Row
1.5
The plot of The Lost World is so simple and so maddeningly stupid that youll find yourself cheering for the dinosaurs (maybe thats the point).
Boulder Weekly
4.5
It built the mold for much of what came afterward, and those of us who enjoy fantastical films have much to thank it and Willis OBrien for.
Dvd Journal

But hes so endearing, we root for his successthough its hardly a trip youd want to emulate.
