Summary: Not as good as JP, but much better than JPII
Review: Although JPIII is not as good as JP in terms of originality and plot, I thought it's better than JPII. I like the part when they are at the bridge inside the "bird cage". So foggy and misty, and it reminded me of the PlayStation game "Silent Hill." ;-)** The following paragraph contains spoilers! **
There are some parts of the movie that make me puzzled. For examples, the movie never explains who attacks the speed boat at the beginning of the movie, and also doesn't justify why those flying dinosaurs (why is their name?) don't attack the helicopters at the end of the movie when they are leaving the island. Anyway, no big deal. :-P Both the video and audio qualities on this DVD are top-notch, The supplemental special features are also plentiful, although I was expecting more informative and entertaining materials to be included. Overall, if you're a JP fan, you would want to include this in your DVD collection. :-)

Summary: horrible. just horrible
Review: Let's face it. This is a big budget television movie. Everything except the dinosaurs is second string.
Weak script...banal dialog...William Macy is on autopilot throughout this film. Neil drifts in and out of his New Zealand accent.
The overwrought score tries to bring emotion to the flat storyline but ultimately feels like it came from a needledrop library.
The ending is horrible....just horrible.

Summary: B Movie Excellence!
Review: I'm scratching my head reading the reviews commenting on the lack of plot and so-so acting. C'mon now! The JP franchise is about dinosaurs running around chasing people and eating them. It is the perfect B movie formula and this movie delivers. The dinosaurs (the real stars of the movie) are simply amazing to watch. The DVD is loaded with extra features and there is coupon to receive a free DVD of your choice among a healthy list to choose from. So if you want to see Laura Dern "act" in a movie with a "plot" then choose October Sky from the list of choices. The JP III DVD is an excellent value for the money.

Summary: Outstanding special effects and an average storyline
Review: If you're looking for a quick-paced action flick with awesome special effects, look no further than Jurassic Park 3. JP3 is chocked full of dino's with emphasis on the Pteradactyl scene and the new "super dinosaur" - a formidable foe to the T-Rex. The scenery in the movie, as expected, is gorgeous but the acting (outside of Sam Neill) is average at best. William H. Macy plays the father searching for his son lost on Dino island and Sam Neill is his guide. The basic plot of the film is to escape from the island. (TV: 32" Sony Trinitron (KV-32S40))
(DVD player: Panasonic RP-56)
(Cables: Acoustic Reasearch top-of-the-line) Picture quality: Excellent, even the menu is exciting. Sound quality: Excellent as always. Turn the sub up only half-way and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Jurassic Park 3 is an average film with action being its very core. While the first JP had action, superb acting and an "epic" feel to it, the third can only live up to the action of the first film.

Summary: Totally stupid, ordinary and meaningless
Review: If I saw this movie when Jurassic Park I came,
that would have been great but the fact is, this is
the third episode and it's simply the same as the
two others. No valuable plot. Just dinosaurs making
a mess. Special effects, screams, noises. This
movie is SUCH a perfect illustration of Hollywood's
lack of creativity these days. Just take a good movie,
make three of seven sequels out of it and see how
long we can sell it. I was a fan of Jurassic Park I when it came out.
But this is the final assault to repetitivity.
This is SO repetitive that it's sickening.
They tried to "innovate" a little bit by throwing
some new spieces of dinos in there but that's about
it. Same damn island, same stupid clueless people
wanting to go there for I don't know what reason.
And same line of events as the two other brothers. Please God, send some story writers in there, they
need it. Please help Hollywood making good movies
again and don't buy this movie.

Summary: A Potentially Great DVD has been BOTCHED
Review: I loved Jurassic Park III and I could hardly wait for the DVD to arrive from Amazon. When I saw all the extras included on this DVD I literally began to froth at the mouth like a Spinosaurus bringing down a T. Rex. As I went through the Bonus materials menu, however, I grew more and more dissappointed. The features are fascinating, but they are short--way too short. Most of them are only a few minutes long. The bonus feature on ILM, however, takes the cake. You have to navigate through some 10- 20 menus (I couldn't bear to count them), with four top-level menus, some of those then opening up into more menus three deep! In other words, you'll be ready for a thumb transplant by the time you finish watching all the little features. Now get this--some of all that navigation will get you THREE SECONDS of video. I kid you not. Many of those little menus will bring you less than a minute of video before you have to navigate some more. Why? I have no idea, but clearly none of the humans with very big brains who made this great movie set up the DVD. A Velociraptor probably could have done better, if only those killing claws could work a computer. Still, it's a great movie worth repeated viewings. But don't buy the DVD for the extras. One final note: although this is the "widescreen" edition, it doesn't look anywhere near the aspect ratio as shown in theaters, although I was too engrossed in the movie to detect any pan and scans.

Summary: Great movie & DVD!
Review: I bought a dvd player today & I also bought as a first dvd Jurassic Park 3 because I love dinosaurs. This movie was incredible, it is full of action and the dinosaurs look unbelievable. I can't describe this movie in words, it's simply incredible. The DVD is also full of great features, they have so many options like interviews, behind the scenes, special effects and I especially liked the feature where they show real digging of dinosaurs. It kind of reminds you that yes, dinosaurs ruled this planet and they did exist, something that we sometimes forget while watching a "movie". This movie is definitly much better then the second jurassic park (the Lost World). It's hard to choose which one is better between Jurassic III and the first one because they are very different. The first one had a magical feeling about it because it was the first time we saw the dinosaurs, it was special. However the third one is kind of a thrill ride based on a lot of action. In conclusion, if you like dinosaurs or if you simply like great action movies, get this dvd, you will be fully entertained!

Summary: End too fast!
Review: Just when you get into the movie it ends. Not to much action or kills in the movie. Jurassic Park 1 and 2 are better than this. This is the weaskest of all the three movie.

Summary: Not bad, But missing Spilbergs touch!
Review: Jurassic Park 3 was overall not that bad. The film had a very similar plot to The Lost World: Jurassic Park only without the T-rex in San Diago.Alan Grant,the palintoligist from the original, sets off to another dino infested island with what he things area bunch of thrill seekers. Of course something goes wrong. The plan crashs and the survivores are stalked by a new dinosar called a Spinousorous. It turns out the people he's hosting are looking for there 13 year old soon who got stranded on the island months befor. And so the adverture begins. The story and the dinosaures are fine except for three things: 1. Where's the T-rex? You see one in the beging for a short time but thats it. The've replaced it with the spino thing. 2. There is not as much tension and fright in this one like there was in the previous two. Last, you can tell Steven Spilberg did not direct this. It's missing his special touch. But over all it's a great movie and DVD. A must for JP fans!
