Summary: A breakthrough!!
Review: The original Jurassic Park was a pretty losy movie. The Lost World was a total embareassment. Now, Speilberg's team have finally come out with a dinosaur movie they can be proud of, Jurassic Park 3. Featuring new dinosaurs like the Spinosaurus and Pteradactyl, this is an action pack movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat and gives you nightmares for about a week.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Average
Review: The movie is entertaining but not nearly up to the original. Most movie goers will be impressed with the incredible special effects but the story line is dull and any anxious moments are few and far between. Take it in during an afternoon show and send a message to Hollywood.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's Cool
Review: Jurassic Park 3 is a surprise in that it is a superior movie to the first edition. What makes it so is the humor and satire that sets it apart from the first two editions. Some time and a lot of techicnical advances have made it possible for the "dinos" to seem even more real than they have seemed in any other Jurassic films. It's all technical, which is at the essence of all these films. It's nice to see Sam Neil and Laura Dern back but Allesandro Nivola and Tia Leone also make a big impression here. Jurassic 3 is fun and what more can you say about this type of movie?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Has potentials, but disappointing
Review: Most people watched this movie for its special effects, but I actually like the story line of the Jurassic Park series. I was disappointed because the movie has a load of potentials that could have been developed and stretched out to make the movie a much more complete plot and more satisfying experience, but they weren't. The movie also lacks a high climax, or memorable scenes in the previous two series (such as the T-Rex banging the jeep in the first one, and the two T-Rex with the bus in the second). Not only was the ending confusing and disappointing, the over-all plot contradicts itself and has many holes. The first two movies have a lot of scenes where it places the audience in the character's seat, and we sweat and get nervous about whether or not the characters in the movie are going to make it out alive. I did not find such intense moments in Jurassic Park III, and if there was one, it was weak.

The special effects are good, and if that's what you care about, you won't be disappointed with all the special effects in this movie. But if you actually care about a plot, or you crave those excitement and intense scenes, then you will be a bit disappointed (but go to theater for the great sound system anyway, it will only be worse when you rent it on video and watch it at home).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Corny or what?
Review: The third "Jurassic Park" movie was fun, but there was no depth or feeling to the script this time. I checked my watch after the first hour and was expecting at least another 45 minutes. It was over twenty-five minutes later! The ending was so short I thought the film projecter had broke down! Very disappointing. However, the action sequences were pretty good, and very scary. A word to the wise: stick with the first two flicks.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It has everything -- NOT!
Review: Everything a movie should have -- good acting, a good storyline, a well or adequately-developed romantic plot or subplot (if part of the story), suspense, intrigue, surprises, originality, good special effects ... well, this movie lacks them all!! (Okay, maybe the special effects were good, but they aren't new or exciting the third time around.)

What a dog! It started slow, and by the time it got going, I had lost interest, though I sat through it, hoping that somewhere in the next 70 minutes it would grab me. And the ending ... absolutely ludicrous! What will the Raptors be in JP: IV -- domesticated pets???

As an alternative, DINOSAURUS (1960) has ultra-cheesy dinosaurs and lousy special effects, but the story and the acting (check out the caveman!) make it a MUCH BETTER Prehistoric Monster flick than this poor excuse of a sequel. I really liked the original JP, and sat through JP II: The Lost World (but it was much worse than the original -- the acrobatic fight with the Raptors was ridiculous).

This movie deserves to die a financial death at the box office.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lies!!
Review: I hope teach some things to reviewers. A Rex would probaly Kill a Spino because its the same size, its the smartest Dinosaor ( Raptors are not as smart as they are in Movies ).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad, considering....
Review: When you go into the theatre to see this movie, you need to keep in mind 2 things:

1. This movie was NOT directed by Steven Spielberg. 2. This movie was NOT based on any Michael Chricton book.

With those factors in the equation, anyone who has read both books and seen both movies (like myself) would be quite skeptical of what is essentially just a hollywood creation to make more money, since there is nothing really artistic to build off of. And it truly shows in this movie. As I watched the movie, I thought back to the original Jurassic Park, which had the original great cast of Laura Dern, Sam Neill (both are in the 3rd one also) and Jeff Goldblum. Unlike the original, this movie does not have much of a deep plot, the "mysteries" of how the dinosaurs do things is nearly all gone, since most of that has been revealed in JP 1 and 2, and the whole subplot question of "chaos" and "are we man or God?" are completely non-existant in this movie.

Well then, you may be thinking, "Why this did guy give this movie 3 stars?" Well, overall, in and of itself, this isn't that bad of a movie. It is very short, and not just by JP Standards either. The action in the movie is quite good and keeps you wanting more and more. You also aren't waiting and waiting for the dinosaurs to start eating people either (they appear within the first 20 minutes of the movie.)

In terms of how this movie compares to the other 2, it doesn't even hold a candle to the splendor of the original movie. As compared to the second one, it's a rather tough call, as the second one would have been ok if it wasn't for the T-Rex ravaging through San Diego (Something that did NOT occur in the original book.) I think I'd rather watch this one again instead of the Lost World if I had the choice.

I'm not sure if it's worth spending $13 on this movie ($8+ for the ticket and then the extra for food) in the theatres. It may behoove you to wait until this one comes out for home viewing, especially for those of you with sweet DVD home systems. I think it may be a safe bet to assume this'll be out on video before 2002 anyways.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Rex vrs Spino=Entertanment!!!!
Review: I,ll just get to my headline. It is quite entertaning. Though it doesnt last long.The rest of the Movie is pure dino chompin fun. With flying Pterenodans and smarty Raptors( clever girl ) Its a decent Movie

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A weak third part
Review: When I began watching the film, it started off as a really cool movie. The spinosaurus movie just coming out of nowhere to eat someone. I thought, "This movie looks cool." And it actually was for awhile. But where was the T-rex? They run into it, and it just kinda stands there. It had no major role in the movie. It was lesser known in the film than Laura Dern. If you like Jurassic Park movies, go ahead and see it. But don't expect much of an ending. The raptors are the only major attraction in the film.
