Summary: Awesome Dinosaur Movie
Review: Carnosaur 2 is well done. I would give the special effects 88%, the acting 95%, the plot 98%, the language 40%, the gore 98% and the time of the movie a 79%. It is a very good movie. Corman should have tried to make it longer than 1hour 23 minutes. The movie dosen't have as much gore than the first one except for two scenes, when a person gets an arm riped off and a head bitten off. All in all it is very awesome.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: NOT ENOUGH BITE
Review: CARNOSAUR II tries to outdo its predecessor by waiting a while to show us the monsters and by using more refined filming. However, somewhere in this translation, the movie failed to deliver the expected thrills.
First off, we have a very noticeable flaw in the script. This movie indicates that dinosaur DNA had been harvested; in the original, Diane Ladd took sole credit for creating this virus.
Secondly, the movie used the same device to battle the creature: the construction machine attacking and ultimately killing the dinosaur.
Third, how many more movies are we going to have the person who saves the day be a kid? Hard to believe this catatonic youngster can be so bright and brave and outmuscle the adults. I Have nothing against kids, but am tired of giving them such weight in a film, more than likely to attract a younger audience.
The acting is sub-par: John Savage and his Brooklyn accent; Cliff DeYoung chewing up the scenery in the expected governmental conspiracy role; seventies character actor Don Stroud with a patch on his eye is wasted; and Rick Dean who tries to be comic relief in the role of Monk acts like he's reading teleprompter cards.
There's not as much suspense as the original, and I will probably watch the third movie, just to see if they try anything a little more original. Highly overrated, but a good time passer.

Summary: Good,but not as good as the first
Review: Cormans sequal to Carnosaur is more like a combo of Aliens and Carnosaur.It's got a unique storyline,but not as good as the first Carnosaur. Also,it has less gore than the original,which is good if you ask me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CARNOSAUR TRILOGY
Review: First of all, the carnosaur movies are not bad. I am a major dinosaur lover and love dinosaur movies,games,etc. The first movie was very gory and it was mostly at nighttimemaking it scary and perfect for a dino ambush. but they could have worked a little more on the dinosaurs. Well thr t-rex was scary but the velociraptor looked kind of rubbery. Carnosaur 2 was better and more scarier than the first and much easier to comprehend there was more than one raptor and they looked better. Carnosaur was like Jurassic Park and Aliens mixed together. The battle with the t-rex was the same as the first Carnosaur, you know the tractor battle except in the second one the t-rex was pushed down a hole w/ deep wounds. The third one was the best one according to me. The vision of the raptors was cool. The first Carnosaur the raptor saw victims in green kind of like night vision goggles. In the 2nd ont the dinos saw in normal vision just like us. When the tranquilized raptor's tail grew rapidly, that freaked me out and the ending was cool. These are great movies and if you love dinosaur movies, I would recommend these.

Summary: THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!!!
Review: I love this movie so much. It is one of my favorites. Carnosaur 2 has a great plot. There is only one thing about the plot. It's kind of like aliens but that doesn't matter. This movie has some pretty good actors in it like John Savage. One problume with it is the special effects. There not very good. But what do you expect from a B-movie. I bet I've watched it 50 times. I love this movie. So if you see it at your video store. RENT IT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE!!!
Review: i love this movie. it is one of my favorites. this movie has a very good plot. the only thing is that it's like aliens. but that's alright. this movie is better than the first one. the movie has a good actor in it. he is called John Savage. i like the idea of how the raptors are patroling the building and eating anything or anyone who comes into veiw. all in all the movie is very well put together. there is a big t-rex at the end. the special effects aren't anything to cheer about but what do you expect from a B- movie. i love it so much a bought a copy. i want to get the dvd so bad. this is a great movie and is worth [price]. i love it.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bad, annoying, lame
Review: I usually like these low budget movies, but this one was just way too dumb. There's some problem at what we're originally told is a uranium mine, so a group of...I don't even know what they are - are called in to investigate. It's with these characters that the movie really lost all hope of being good. These folks all act like obnoxious teenagers, choosing to complain and whine loudly instead of trying to solve the problem. The dialogue doesn't make any sense; someone tells them something they don't want to hear and they say things like "You're sick!!!" I mean, that's not even a plauable reaction to have. I found myself wishing that when the characters were walking down a hallway, perhaps the writer and director would have actually engaged in the activity of walking down a hallway themselves, so as to come up with some idea of what people might actually say and do when walking down a hallway, instead of all this ridiculous stuff they've got these characters saying and doing.

Overall, this movie just took way too many liberties with my intelligence. Like, toss a hand grenade at a carnosaur that's five feet away, and it blows the dino to bits but doesn't injure the person who threw it. Who is still standing five feet away. Or the guy who falls three stories onto a bed of steel pipes, and then complains he broke a rib (wouldn't he have probably broken his spine, considering he landed on his back?), and then within a couple of minutes he's not injured at all. Or the dinosaur that breaks through a steel door that looks to be three inches thick. What, they have a three inch thick steel door and then put a latch on it like you'd use for the screen door on your porch? Or the entire ending of the film, which follows the ending of Aliens except on 1/1,000th the budget. After seeing it, if you think about it for even two seconds, you'll realize it made no sense whatsoever.
