Summary: Jurassic Park III
Review: Speaking for the average movie goer, I am not very fund of sequels but JP3 is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I love action packed movies and this one had it all. Bringing back Sam Neill also made this movie work for me. The Director kept me on the edge of my seat almost the entire movie. I enjoyed the ending eventhough it was a bit out there. I am anxiouly waiting for Dec. 11 so that I can purchase it on DVD and watch it at home.

Summary: Better than TLW, but could have been MUCH better.
Review: I feel like they there was a last half hour of the movie missing. The ending was fine, but they could have done so much more. The Spinosaurus kills the T-Rex in the beginning of the movie... They could've had a re-match with a different T-Rex... or two! Where's the Triceratops, and the spitting Dilophosaurus? There were so many more things they could've expanded upon (like that red carnivore that was hovering over the Spino poop), but they didn't. The movie was good, but come on - it only clocks in at an hour and a half. Is it really that hard to think if more, or was the film's budget really THAT low? Not that I love death, but not enough people died for the scenario to be completely believeable. If the kid died, albeit he was the best kid out of the trilogy, it would've brought a great sense of realism. I don't mind that Billy ends up living after disappearing in a cloud of Pteronadons - but they could've shown him getting saved, to add a few more minutes to the movie! And he could've been in a WEE bit more of a critical condition than those few scratches. Oh well, at least it outdoes The Lost World.

Summary: Best summer blockbuster!
Review: Jurassic Park III was definitely the best of the summer blockbusters, though it got very underrated. This is a sequal...what more could you expect? A huge dramatic film? I think not. This is Jurassic Park...duh! Jurassic Park III had a great cast list, including the talents of Sam Neill (who starred in the first Jurassic Park movie), William H. Macy, Tea Leoni, Trevor Morgan, and even a cameo role by Laura Dern (who also starred in the first one). I liked Jeff Goldblum better as a supporting character in Jurassic Park more than the leading character in The Lost World. Sam Neill is the real star of the Jurassic Park trilogy!The plot of this movie is very simple and straight-forward, which makes it easier for audiences to concentrate more on the awesome action, special effects, and the dinosaurs! Also, it's easy for most people to understand.(...) The only bad thing about this movie was that it was too short! (...) The other two movies had been over two hours long, but Jurassic Park III was only about 92 minutes long. Also, the ending was okay, but it was a little bit cheesy. Still, I enjoyed Jurassic Park III. It was the best movie I saw all summer long. Plus, the ending didn't really seem complete. Perhaps a 4th Jurassic Park movie is in the works? Jurassic Park III has some of the best special effects all summer long. JP3's special effects were even better than the special effects in movies like Planet of the Apes, The Mummy Returns, and Pearl Harbor! And the DVD for this movie looks really great, too with some very cool special features like behind-the-sceens, the making of the new dinosaurs, cast & crew interviews, etc. Joe Johnson did a great job as director and filled Steven Speilberg's shoes perfectly. This movie needs more recognization and credit! It was better than what most critics claimed it would be. If there's one movie you must rent on DVD this winter than it definitely has to be Jurassic Park III!

Summary: Quite Enjoyable
Review: I really enjoyed this film. Very exciting stuff. I really like jumping out of my seat. The only real problem I have with the Jurassic Park Trilogy is that it really strayed away from the book. When you read "Jurassic Park" and "The Lost World" you are more scared than ever. There was so much more in the books I can't imagine why they skimped in the films. I found it odd that elements in the first book were put into the second movie and the third movie. I loved the ending in "JP" the book. I'd wished they did that in the film. I always kind of wondered where those
raptors were heading off to. Also, there were 2 children in the "Lost World" book and they went through hell with those raptors. The whole flying dinosaurs scene is actually in the first book. So you are literally being bounced around between book 1 and 2. Other than that these films are fun to watch.

Summary: A heart pumping rollercoaster ride of a movie.
Review: The 3rd installment of the JP franchise is without a doubt that darkest, fastest-moving, heart-pounding, and exciting movie in the film series. Sure the 1st JP is a pure classic and The Lost World tries to recapture the awe of the orginal and The Lost World *tries* to do the same thing but doesn't pull it off very well. Jurassic Park 3 tells you right from the start with a claw ripping through the JP logo that this time the dinosaurs aren't playing around. Sam Neil returns and gives a excellent performance as usual. The supporting cast does well also with William H. Macy and Tea Lenio giving strong performances. The real winners here though are the dinosaurs. As soon as humans once again arrive and disrupt their natural habitat they are just fed up it seems and don't play any games. In the first two films the dinosaurs seem a bit hesitant to eat some good ol' human flesh but, not in this film though. The new bad boy Spinosaurus quickly claims himself as the king of the jungle by taking out one of the legendary actors of the series. (You will seat what I mean) The raptors return badder and smarter. The most immpresive new Dino by far in the flying Pterandons. The special effects are as usual .. amazing. This a perfect addition to any Jurassic Park fan's DVD library.

Summary: Decent Movie
Review: I really don't know how to review this movie. It is one of the hardest choices I have ever made when it comes to reviewing, but I concluded to a three star rating and you will see why. This movie is a perfect example of a movie series gone bad. The first movie is good, and maybe the second, but when a sequel comes out, it is terrible, and ruins the entire series. In this movie, a couple lies to the scientists and says that they have permision to go to a jurasic park island. They land on it, crash land rather, and then find themselves stranded on the island. The couple reveals the lie, that they had a son parachouting and crash landed on the island, so they wanted to look for him. Struglling for survival, they run into many different dinosaurs, and finaly, after many days, the army finds them. As you can see, this movie is pretty cheesy. The story is pretty bad. What moron would allow their son to parachute from an airplane onto an island! You have to give them some credit though, because their special effects were incredible, and those of you with home theatre systems (like me) will enjoy the encredible sound. If you are a Jurasic Park fan, this is a must have, but if you aren't a hardcore fan, only get this if you have a DVD player and a home theatre system, for this movie should only to impress your friends with the incredible graphics and sound your system has.

Summary: Did Spielberg & Crichton really make this (junk)?
Review: I loved the original Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park II was not quite the blockbuster as the original, but it was still good. Jurassic Park III is an embarrassment. I can't believe that Steven Spielberg, whom I consider to be one of the most innovative and talented producers/directors around, would put out this movie. And, I have heard that Michael Crichton retains some control over all projects that he is associated with. I have read Jurassic Park, Andromeda Strain and most of Crichton's novels and have always been entertained/impressed with his killer, innovative plots and fast-paced stories. Did he actually approve this sequel? Neither Spielberg nor Crichton could conceivably need money so badly to associate themselves with this movie... It did make a good trailer, and probably could be cut to a good short, but does not make it as a full length film. All of the Jurassic Park plots were simplistic but involved the viewer with their great character development -- and the special effects. Those characters were 3 dimensional, you empathized with them, you felt their frustrations, their fears. But Jurassic Park III had "cardboard", 2 dimensional characters. You could not identify with them. (In fact, remember the character that played the mother searching for her son? She was so uninspired and annoying that I was hoping that a TRex or velicoraptor would take her out early in the film so I wouldn't have to hear her whine any more.) So, without any real character development and with a simplistic plot, all you are left with are the special effects. And, while these are good, we have seen them in the other Jurassic Park movies... George Lucas' Star Wars movies, the Star Trek movie series, the James Bond movies -- all remain viable because all sequels managed to retain those features, those strengths, that made them popular in the first place. Jurassic Park III does not do this. Am I being overly critical? I think not. The proof will be that there will never be a Jurassic Park IV.

Summary: Should be Cretaceous Park
Review: Usually film series degrade as they progress through sequel after sequel, but I would say that the Jurassic Park films are the exception. Perhaps my thinking is skewed because I went to the original Jurassic Park with such high expectations, and was let down, but went to JP III expecting a stinker, and well, it was a watchable film. Most of the credit for the film's watchability goes to Trevor Morgan, a rare child actor who neither mugs for the camera nor delivers cute one-liners written by a screenwriter who has no idea how adolescents talk. Frankly, I was a little bored until he appeared, then the film picked up; he injected some life into it, even managing to act and react among adults who were giving less than sterling performances. William H. Macy plays boring middle aged monotone guy that made him famous-- not to be confused with his occasion turns as shouting angry middle aged guy. This is all he's expected to do, and he delivers. Tea Leoni is completely wasted. She is a fine comic actress, and G-d knows this film could have used a little comic relief, but as there is none in the script, she has little to do besides be shrill and whiny. Poor Leoni seems to realize how ridiculous her character is, and just can't help occasionally stepping outside her, just to let us know she knows. A fatal mistake, but I suppose better than letting people think you think you're delivering serious Oscar material. Sam Neill squints at things, and makes lots of scientific pronouncements, and is believable if not compelling. For me, he will never do anything better than My Brilliant Career, though, so it's useless for me to comment on his performance. The CGI is as good as ever, I suppose, although I never did get a good perspective on the sail-back dinosaur. I couldn't figure out how big it was supposed to be. At first it seemed at big as the T-rex, in their confrontation scene, then later, there's this jaw shot, where it seems to have a very long neck, but not such a big body; at the end it is huge, a real monster. But all the eyes were good; the dinosaurs had penetrating gazes that were quite frightening. To be able to achieve that effect of real eye contact is quite an attainment. I don't really know how many people see these movies for the plot, per se. Isn't the plot really an excuse to show off the special effects? In this film, the writers have abandoned all pretense of science (all that ridiculous DNA frog fiction in the original film, e.g.), and made a fantasy. I enjoyed that much more. I hope Trevor Morgan gets some kind of special Oscar.
