Summary: Third time isn't always the charm
Review: You might remember Dr. Grant from the first Jurassic Park movie, while looking for additional fund for his research, he decided to give an aerial tour of the Isla Sorna near Costa Rica to Paul and Amanda Kirby. When their plane crashes on the island, Dr. Grant again finds himself in the midst of hostile dinosaurs, trying to stay alive.Seeing dinosaurs in action again still give me the goosebumps, but a lot of scenes in Jurassic Park 3 just doesn't hold the same thrills as the first movie, rather, a feeling of been there and done that. The movie itself looks great, excellent visuals and great looking cinematography, but the rest held little surprises. The only other positive thing about the film are the characters, this time there is a real and believable reason for them to be risking their lives, although some more reluctantly than others. Sam Neil reprises his role as Dr. Alan Grant, a man whose love for dinosaurs has been tainted by his near death experience at the Jurassic Park. William H. Macy and Tea Leoni plays the Kirbys, their relationship and intention for visiting the island is not what it seems. Jurassic Park 3 is definitely 92 minutes of non-stop action, I didn't find any places that dragged on, and it is still as violent as ever. I'd recommend not to get your expectations too high, although it isn't as scary, the blood and gore might not be suitable for the younger children.

Summary: I enjoyed it a lot
Review: i saw "Jurassic Park 3" on Wednesday, so i loved the first one, i liked a bit the second one, but this one is just WOW!, the special FX are amazing, the music by Don Davis keeps a very very close resemblance with the original music, it's sometimes smart, and the dialouge is quite sometimes clever, the only problem is that is the same that the other two, the humans are being chased by the dinosaurs, the people scream, and run, but this chases are a lot more exciting than in the other two, also i hope that Universal puts a DTS track on the DVD, i saw it with DTS and it sounded WOW!, even more fantastic than the film. THUMBS UP!

Summary: the best in the whole series
Review: Well, besides the first one. Jurassic Park 3 is one of the rare sequel to films that actually lives up tothe original. A sequel either has to be just as good, or better than the original. After lost world was a waste of time, Spielburg stepped down from the jp chair, and handed it to director Joe Jonhston (Honey, I shrunk the kids and October Sky). I was extremely excited for th new JP film to be released, because I'm such a big fan, since the original. I saw it on the opening day, July 18, 2001. I walked in excited..came out with a smile on my face. It was sooo good, I want to see it again. The story is very good and original: Isla Sorna, the island from lost world, is now RESTRICTED from any human being (which I love at the beginning when it says in big, red letters) after the annoying scene from TLW with the T-rex romping through San Diego. But pleanty of idiotic tourists like to bask near shore of the island, including one para sailing crew, that decides to para sail near the island...big mistake. The boat is found torn apart and the two hang gliders, are shipped to shore on the island. The film then jumps to a house with a kid playing with toy dinos. Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill, reprising his role from the first film) is visting his old college and friend, Elle Saddler (Lara Dern, also reprising her role), in her happy, married life (too bad. I was hoping the two would be the married ones). Grant is struggling to get funds for his paleotolinest dig, but isn't getting any because "the inncident" on the park doesn't help reseach...despite the fact that John Hammond (Richard Attenbourgh, and no,he doesn't appear in the film, for some reason) resent death doesn't give any will to Alan, espeaically since he prommised to give Alan a raise in the first film. But then, a billionare Paul Kirby (William H. Macy) asks Alan to be his tour guide for him and his wife, Amanda (Tea Leoni) to fly over isla Sorna. Alan agrees, because Paul, in favor for the guide, will give as much as Grant wants to his reaseach: money. Alan takes his trusty assistant Billy (Alessandro Nivola) with him for the ride, while the Kirby's take several shady charecters (of them is Micheal Jeter and John Diehl). But things start to get rough when they get there: Paul then tells Alan that they will land. Alan then goes furious, knowing that the island is way too dangerous, and refuses to land. It doesn't matter...minutes later, they land and are forced to take off again, being attack by some type of dino. The strange dino kills one of them at first, then destroys the plane, with them inside. Now they are stranded on the island. The Kirbys thn explain that their son is on the island, because the para sailing inncident earlier. The dino that chased them earlier is called a "Spinosaurus" a larger dino than a Tyranosaur. Plus, even more danger is brought when the team discovers that the band of Raptors on the island can communicate with other dinos and are very intelligant. Evolution is Adventure. JP3 is a definate blockbuster for the summer. With a solid cast, unbelieveable special effects and good plot and story to it, it's definately a movie that will please both types of crowds. A must see. Spetacular. Genius. Brilliant. And just plain...Fun. Two thumbs up.

Summary: A bit short...but very well done!
Review: Okay, I loved the first one and hated the second one (there is just so much chaos a person can take). The third one is simpler, less characterization, less dialog, much cooler dinos. Special effects are great, the lizards are great, and lets face it, has anyone EVER seen William H Macy do ANYTHING bad? I sure haven't! To me, if the WH Macy choses to make a movie, my money is on it. The casting was believable (I was glad to see Grant back), there was a little comic relief, plenty of action, and my only complaint is that the human body is designed to SIT IN THE THEATER for a little over 100 minutes, so the end comes too quickly at 97 minutes. That is my two cents.

Summary: MUST SEE!!
Review: I won't spoil the movie by telling you what happens-just be sure to see it while it's still on the big screen!! This is one of the very best movies I have ever seen, without a doubt the best of the "Jurassic Park" films. Lots of suspense, the ultimate 'flick' for teenagers!!MUST SEE!!

Summary: Jurassic Park 3
Review: I saw this movie opening night and it was awesome. I'm glad that Sam Neill is back as Dr. Alan Grant. He's my favorite character in the movie. They go to Isla Sorna to guide a married couple for their anniversary. While they are there, they also look for their son. This one was much better than the 1st and 2nd ones put together. I saw this movie the next day for a 2nd time because it was so good. Jurassic Park 3 is a must see.

Summary: Silly premise for promising sequel
Review: I was hesitant to see Jurassic Park III, not because of the exorbitant price charged to see any movie nowadays (although that is scarier than any movie I've seen - $9 a ticket). But because a sequel is hardly ever as good as the original. This one did not disappoint me. The special effects (yawn) were fabulous, but were more impressive in JP1, or even JP2. The shots just looked rushed and stiffer. The science behind the fiction was passable until the Pteranadon scenes. Flying creatures have to be extremely light. The Pteranadon fossils all point to hollow bones and light bodies. Why then do the Pteradactyls make a BOOM like a T-Rex when they walk on the broken bridge? Why do they look like they weigh at least 500 lbs? Bad science in the science fiction. Let me qualify the comment about the special effects: If any of the JP movies were to be taken individually for their effects then I would not yawn about them. After two JP movies there is nothing particularly "special" about these same effects in a third movie. Either develop a really solid story line with more meat (no pun intended) or really surprise us with something different in the FX department. I actually enjoyed the previews for Monster, Inc more than the JP3 effects. The acting and story line were predictable - people go to dangerous island against any intelligent thought or government wishes. They do not listen to any warnings about how to behave, even after being almost eaten within 15 minutes of landing. Someone wanders away from the others (what a surprise there) and gets into trouble. The only armed people are eaten within 30 minutes or so of the landing. No one thinks to pick up even a sharp stick to use as a spear. Predictable, predictable, predictable. I think Sam Neill is a heck of a fine actor as are the rest of the star cast. Why then do I wish the dinosaurs had eaten them all? My suggestion is: see this at a matinee. It should be seen on a big screen, but not for $9 a pop. It just isn't that great compared to what it had to live up to.

Summary: Three times is not a charm
Review: While I will always be a dedicated and loyal fan of the Jurassic movie series (the first one was fabulous and Lost World was twisty, strange but still commanding and worthy of appreciation), Jurassic Park III is a flat out dud. The underlying plot material is unquestionably similar to the first two movies, the acting consistently flat, and the supporting cast immensely weak (for example, the notable absence of Jeff Goldblum in this third film makes you realize how essential his character and talent was in making a box office success of the two prior Jurassic films). While Spielberg apparently had consulting roles in the construction of the film, it becomes abundantly clear even before the first 30 minutes of the film have been viewed that Spielberg was certainly NOT at the helm in Jurassic Park III. The dialogue is rarely provoking and more often glib and nothing more than American soundbites of pop culture. The sold-out movie theatre crowd with whom I watched the film appeared to agree with my growing dislike of the film -- the crowd rarely laughed, never applauded, and immediately scurried out like a pack of underfed bloodhounds upon the rolling of credits in the final, goofy scene. In a word, Jurassic Park III is an enormous disappointment. A film lacking in polish, character, and more importantly -- soul. One never feels any sort of emotional connection with the cast; even the young actor cast as the lost child on the dinasour island leaves you feeling ambiguous and disinterested in his eventual rescue. And if one can believe it, even the dinasaur scenes seemed to lack the digital precision and realistic flavor that one may have grown accustomed to in the first two films. Save your $8.50 and maybe you rent this one night when nothing is left at the local video store. Three times is not a charm, at least not for Jurassic Park III.

Summary: Ending??
Review: Jurassic Park 3: Let me start of sayin the movie was better than the second but not as god as the first i think Sam Neill was a excellent choice for a leading role because of his role in the first Jurassic Park. The dinosaurs look more real than they rver did. Yes, a few parts in the movie were either boring/cheezey BUT ONLY A FEW!! The director did pretty good besides making it an hour 1/2 when the others were 2 hours but o well. i think u should go see this movie if you're a die hard action freak like me i love action/adventure so this movie is perfect and see it if you like Jurassic Park movies 1&2.

Summary: You Get What You Pay For...
Review: When you plunked down your money to see this show you certainly didn't do it because you expected to see a riveting plot with many unexpected twists, or to hear crisp, clever dialogue did you? Of course not! Be honest now, you did it for only one reason... to SEE THE DINOSAURS! And boy, are they ever first class! They are worth the price of the movie, and you will leave the theater feeling that you did, in fact, get your money's worth. The dinosaurs were, as expected, excellent and certainly state of the art. If you want to see realistic looking dinosaurs making sounds that rattle the sub woofers in your local theater, then this is the film for you. However, if you really do want the plot twists, etc., then I suggest that you rent Citizen Kane.
