Summary: One of the better movies in the dinosaur trilogy.
Review: Director Steven Speilberg only produced this huge big buget
third entry and Joe Jhonston directed.A blockbuster in any sense
of the word bigger dinosaurs bigger effects from Stan Winston who must have instantly had a smile on his face when they asked
him to make the animatronic wonder Spinosaurus in the movie.It
is by far the biggest animatronic ever attemted by hollywood ,
Sam Neill returns in as something of a trademark for him but still as predictable as this third film is it's alot more fun
to watch then the dreaded sequel The Lost World wich was so awful the third film had to be better , like the second this is
more of an summer dazzler and is purely action but it's the type
of crowd pleaser that summer movies shold be not takeing itself
to seriously while managing to please a crowd with it's fun factor , Tia Lione , Willam H. Macy , star as a husband and wife team who manage to get the well renowed paleobotonist
on there plane from there you can kind of tell what's going
to happen will there be a fourth who knows but after watching
all three of these jurrasic films you should be able to recite
the whole entire alphabet of dinosaurs .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Easily surpassing the other two!
Review: First off, I love the whole JURASSIC PARK trilogy. But JP3 is definitely gotta be my favorite. My second favorite is probably the first, which is a classic. This one will surely be a classic, too and definitely one of the best films of the year. Yes, the plot is pretty predictable and the film is way too short (it would've been nice if it had been longer), but we don't care about a huge dramatic storyline and plot and intelligent diolouge when seeing JURASSIC PARK 3...we're here to see cool dinosaurs, awesome special effects, and the humans running for their lives! Now THAT'S action! And sure, not many people die in this film, but then again, not many people died in the first JURASSIC PARK, either - especially not the main characters! We all know the plot of JP3, so I guess I don't have to really go into much detail on it. Even though the DVD isn't out yet, I can already tell it's gonna have some totally cool special features on it. The acting by the entire cast is absolutely superb. My favorite character in this film? Eric Kerby - Trevor Morgan is an amazingly talented young actor! I think his part is the most exciting part, too. The filmmaking is unique. The graphics and special effects look totally realistic and awesome that it's scary! The film keeps your interest throught the entire time and if you fall asleep during it, then you must not enjoy action and adventure films all that much 'cause this is the best action and adventure film you're gonna get ever! I loved JP3 and I'm definitely planning on buying it when it comes out on DVD...hopefully by then I'll be getting my laptop computer for college! :-)

Summary: The worst sequence of a movie and the worst summer film! CP
Review: When Steven Spielberg's 'Jurassic Park', which I have not seen, opened in 1993 it was one of those films that was an instant blockbuster. Like 'Rush Hour 2' and 'Shrek'. Four years later Steven got up the courage to direct 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park', otherwise known simply as 'Jurassic Park 2'. What I meant by when I said "got up the courage" I meant he was taking a chance with the critics, if they were going to like it or if they were going to hate it. They hated it and so did I. 'Jurassic Park 2' is like Best Picture up against 'Jurassic Park 3', the worst film of the summer and probably the worst film of the year, but I haven't seen 'Planet of the Apes' yet. The acting was beyond the grave of sadness, the film's setting was next to nonexistent, and to top it off, what mother in their right mind would let their son go parachutting on a forbidden island? Get real hollywood!

Summary: Jurassic Park is getting worse
Review: Jurassic park was a big hit. It was an awesome movie. The second movie was alright and I liked it. Then this new one came out. It was bad. It wasn't even directed by Steven. The movie was the length of a B movie. 80 minutes. Thats how long CARNOSAUR is. (Another dinosaur movie) The acting wasn't too good except for Sam Neil. I heard that the producers are thinking about makeing another one. Jurassic park 4!!!!!!!. I hope the next one is good. But this movie is still worth buying and the special effects were awesome.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Inferior sequel, but not too bad in the long run...
Review: Well, its the 3rd installation of the Jurassic Park series. It definitely ain't great. But its not bad, either.

This film is obviously not meant to be plot driven, but that's ok. Chances are you won't like this movie when you first see it, but it will grow on you once you watch it a second time. The special effects are pretty good, if a little dated, and the action is intense and non-stop. Sam Neil reprising the role as Grant is a definite plus. Not a great movie, but a fun movie.

The DVD edition is actually rather great. There are tons of features that make it well worth your money. The collectible booklet is actually a huge pull out of dinosaur size comparisons and movie facts. The Special Features menu is huge, with 'Behind the Scenes' documentaries, theatrical trailers, Cast and Crew Information, and a bunch of other extra goodies. While the movie isn't anything spectacular, if you liked the first two, you'll probably still like this film despite the inconsistencies and plot holes. The plethora of extras make up for this, and overall its a pretty good DVD to add to your collection.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as good as the first, but better than the second.
Review: JP3 is nothing more than an action filled, edge of your seat, nail biting, heart pounding, jump out of your seat action thriller with 'oh my god, do those Dinos look real' special effects. With that said, why wouldn't anyone want to see this movie? I can't think of one reason. This movie was great. It was such an improvement over the second one that I am now hoping they make a fourth one, and let Joe Johnston direct it, PLEASE! I know that Spielberg was happy with what he saw. Which tells me one thing, Spielberg has outgrown these movies. He's moved on to bigger things, like A.I. and Saving Private Ryan. So let the reigns of his more meager works be taken over by lesser known talented directors. Johnston does a superb job of handling the legacy of Jurassic Park. He takes it back to the roots. The movie is more of an action adventure. It does tend to touch more on the themes of messing with nature and whether it is right or wrong as they did in the first one, but not as much. Alan Grant, played very well again by Sam Neil, is hired to play aerial tour guide for a rich couple who want to see Isla Sorna from a plane. A crash ensues and of course, people become snacks for the Dinos. There are some cheesier themes of family togetherness as Grant finds out that his rich thrill seekers are really poor saps looking for their lost son on the island. But the action that ensues from this is entertaining and pulse pounding. There are many more types of dinosaurs to be seen, and the new big baddie, the Spinasauras is absolutely nasty. the fight between him and the T-Rex is worth the cost of admission alone. Improvements in Computer animation since the first movie allow us to see spectacular aerial shots of so many Dinos that you want to believe there is an Island out there with these creatures to be seen. As I said beore, don't look for heavy themes of whether we should be tampering with nature as they did in the first movie, but you can count on something much more thrilling and fun to watch then the second movie. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good come back
Review: There was only one thing I liked about JP2 (when the trailer is upside down and the woman is laying on cracked glass--that whole scene was terrific) and there were MORE things I liked about JP3.

What a come back! But...it was SO SHORT! It had nearly everything I wanted to see in it but just seemed that there was little room for character development to introduce the new people. Tia Leone's character....was a tad depressing.

When I knew she was going to be in it I thought that I was going to be impressed...instead I was just, amused and or left disgusted; sitting there just shaking my head at her stupid antics. They could have casted her with a better part to play as "Mom". She was kind of a twit as she was.

But I really enjoyed the movie otherwise. While JP2 is going to collect dust on someone elses' video cabinet, I'll let JP3 collect a little dust in mine and be more satisfied.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jurassic Park 3: Why?
Review: Was there some need for a third one? Did they need to have a trilogy or something? Some major complaints I have about this movie are that its not directed by Steven Speilberg, there are only a few returning characters, and even then they arent all that interesting, its not based on a Crichton novel, the story doesnt even compare to the other Jurrasic Park films, and its way way WAY too short.

The CG of this movie was excellent, of course but I think it was actually too elaborate. I like the style of the old JP movies CG. It seems that CG now a days is reaching the point were its extremely obvious. Some parts like in the pteranodon's cage had very nice looking CG.
The story was not that great. It was like they needed to find some way to get Dr. Grant back on the island so they could have some sort of a sequel and this is the only way they could do it. I'm not going to explain the story since it most likely will contain spoilers. I also beleive that most people entered the movie theaters beleiving that they would be seeing entirely new dinosaurs that have never ever been seen before, like dinosaurs that were genetically mutated fictional dinosaurs. Wrong. The "Super mega smart raptors that can talk to each other" are just regular raptors, its just that they (Dr. Grant, etc.) are now realizing that they have the ability to communicate. The feathers on their head? basically just difference between either 'social groups' (sorry couldnt think of any other phrase) or sex, I'm not quite sure/remebering. The Spinosaurus (the one that is shown swimming in the water with the big sail) is of course a real dinosaur, but since they didnt show to many clips of it in the trailer, I have reason to beleive people thought it was some new aquatic dino.
Anyway, the movie is just way way to short at around an hour and a half. It will leave people dissapointed. About the characters, only Sam Neils character (Dr. Grant) and his 'girlfriend' (thats what you think) reappear in the movie. No Ian Malcom, no John Hammond. Thats a major dissapointment. Of course it is Jurrassic Park and I do encourage people to buy it, just because of that reason. If you havent seen it yet you should rent it soon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Pleasing!
Review: Wow! Non Stop action! Great stunts! Breathtaking special effects! I heard that the director was changing the story around as they were filming it which, I would normally HATE, but this turned out very pleasing. Usually sequels and MOST of the time, prequels, [stink] very bad. But this is wonderful! It's about these two people, this kid and this other guy, who are parasailing over the remains of Jurassic Park. But then their crewmembers suddenly disappear which sends the two people flying toward the island. With them missing, the boys parents decide to begin a search on the island to find them. In their search they recover Palentologist Dr. Grant (Sam Neil) and start their journey. Pretty short, but worth the time. This movie is a lot more bloody than the other two combined- COOL! Also stars: William H. Macy, Tea Leoni, and some other people I don't know. SEE IT!
