Summary: Beware, these dinos aren't what they used to be!
Review: Fun and Scary! This I would say should of been the sequel! The dinos are bigger and badder. This movie I would defiantly go back to. It would make you jump in your seat! Especially in the front row! I thought Speildbergs made Jurassic Park come even more alive in this threequil. What I like most about it was the intelligance of the Raptors, and what I liked most was the variety of Dinosaurs, not just like 3 or 4 , but you get to see a awhole bunch more. If I was you I would take my [price]bucks and hit the theaters to this Dino chomping flick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Summer Fun and lots of Dinos
Review: I'm a big Jurassic Park fan and have been since the first one was released in 1993, so I can tell you that I have been counting down to JP3 for a long time. I was not dissapointed. I'm sure there will be plenty of nay-sayers about this film, but I think for a movie with basicly no finished script, it was pretty well done. What I didn't like was that the movie's atmosphere was too dark. And another thing: the movie released merchandise implying that the Dilophasoras would be in the movie, but it wasn't. Pretty much all the other dinos make an appearence, but the new Spinosaures is pretty cheesy. The T-Rex is still better. One really good point: If you read the original Jurassic Park book, 2 scenes are reserected: The bird cage sequence and the river sequence. See the movie, it rocks!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Graphics, Bad Story Line
Review: The original Jurassic Park and the Lost World amazed me. They bothed mixed great special affects with a good story (although the second wasn't as good as the first). So I was obviously very excited about Jurassic Park III. I saw just about every preview, trailer, and JP3 interview out there. Finally I went to see it (on the first day it came out) and I was very dissapointed. They took all of the scenes from the previews and mashed it together with no room for a decent storyline. And almost all of the dinosaur shots were conavores. Some of my favorite scenes in the first two were the ones with herbivores (like the brachiosaurus and stegosaurus). There is very little of that in JP3. The whole time its: "Watch out for that spinosaurus" then "Oh no, here come raptors." And just when you think theres a good 30-45 minutes left of the movie, its over. I give an extra 2 stars because of the awesome graphics and good sound effects. Overall, Jurassic Park III just isn't as good as the two originals.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Death Of A Series
Review: As I exited the theatre the night of the opening, I was almost to tears for what they(Joe Johnston and others) have done to this once great story. I can feel the pain of those who worked so hard on the first two movies, which I could almost describe as masterpieces. As I rode home on my bike, I considered swerving into traffic because I do not know if I want to live in a world where movies like these are created. "No", I pleaded with myself,"there will be other movies!". All that I can do now is warn others of this great disaster and leave them with these words:DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: JP III Worthwhile effort
Review: I just saw JPIII on its debut in my area and I have to give them credit for a very worthwhile effort. This movie has two very important things going for it, first there is no book to compare it to and Spielberg did'nt direct it. After his last two attempts this one was a breath of fresh air. It is intresting how all three movies borrow much of their story lines from the first book (tells you how good the book was- excellent!!!) The casting was good, altought the first one was better. The

action was fast and furious. It still could have used a little more old fashioned raw gore. But to be fair I know they were playing to their target audience who be buying the JPIII "happy meals",Dino egg candy and plastic dinosaur toys. At least there was'nt any of that cheesy T-Rex rampaging through San Diego bit that killed JP II. The dinosaurs, especially the new ones were great.!!! The Pteradactyls alone are worth the price of admission. I would really recommend this movie over most of the other films out there right now,(esp A.I.- 1.star)This is the first time in some while I left the theater not feeling disappointed. As a matter of fact, I'm going back to see it again tomorrow.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Is this a joke?
Review: I think this movie could have been better. Jurassic Park was excellent, the Lost World was acceptable, Jurassic Park 3 isn't worth it. Now, the action was pretty good, but the storyline was awful. One more thing.....1 HR. AND 37 MINUTES? IT WASN'T LONG ENOUGH! Take my advice and DON'T waste your money on this stupid sequel. Your not missing a thing. I only gave it 2 stars because of the awesome raptors.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great sequel that does more than just add more cool dinos.
Review: I wasn't sure what to think when I went to see Jurassic Park III on its opening day. Would it be as good as Jurassic Park 1? Would it be along the lines of The Lost World, with lots of dinos but not a very deep plot? Or would it totally ...? The answer is, none of the above. JP1 will always be the best, as it was a new idea and completely shocked everybody. Jurassic Park III does not have a very deep plot, but then again, when you have so many cool dinos, how do you have time for one? The dinosaur scenes are much better than Lost World. Instead of senseless killing and lots of screaming and dinosaurs, the dino scenes are very well thought out, the Raptor scenes especially. And this time around, a Raptor didn't unrealistically get its ... kicked by a kid, as in the first 2 movies. The addition of the Pteranodons was a great idea, and added a whole new dimension to the dinosaur threat. The Spinosaurus was spectacular in that, you didn't miss the T-Rex at all until the movie ended. Now that I look back on it, the T-Rex could have been used more efficiently, maybe providing a nemesis for the Spinosaurus during the whole movie and ending.(I don't want to spoil it, because it is an awesome scene, with the T-Rex and Spino.) That brings me to my last gripe. The film seems, unfinished in the end. I don't want to spoil it, but don't be surprised if you feel the same way at the end. Overall, however, this is a great movie and is probably the second best one. It gave you a feeling of awe that the second movie didnt, and the dinosaur scenes were very, very cool.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: what the heck was that?
Review: I have to admit I wasn't too dissapointed in this movie because I didn't expect much from it. It did some good things and it did some bad things too. Of all scenes, I wish that there could have been some more Spinosaurus vs. T-Rex fights. Sam Neill was the only real driving force for this movie, playing his charecter well even through the cheezy dialogue. The visuals were great, as we come to expect through ILM. However, the rest of the film feels as if it were a TV Movie, coupled with one of the dumbest endings that I've ever seen. I'm glad that musical motives from John William's score were used, and the score was actually pretty good, but gone were certain moments that only a director like Steven Speilberg could create: terror. Like a puddle of water shimmering from the shock of an approaching Tyrannosaurus. Here's a hint if they do another sequel (which is almost certain, especially if the movie fares well at the box office). Take some of the unused scenes from the books Jurassic Park and Lost World - with that and a good writer then a decent movie wouldn't be too far off.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than TLW, but Jurassic Park 1 remains the best.
Review: First off let me say this movie really is action-packed. Saw it twice today and I'm still thinking about it. Some of those scenes left me breathless, and it was wonderful to see a sold-out, packed theatre with fellow fans all around me react to the magic on the screen. I found a lot of the reaction to be laughter, which in a way is good (it shows they were listening, anyway), but people were gasping and muttering "oh no"s, too. What was I doing? Gaping at the screen, hungry for action and new dinosaurs. I got plenty of both: the Spinosaurus, the renovated Velociraptors, a Ceratosaurus, Ankylosaurs, Corythosaurs, the works. Even some cool pterosaurs. The fight between the Spino and the rex was great, but I hated the victor for what he did to the hero of the previous two movies...The plot and dialogue was lacking in some places, but for me the wonderful thing was to see the dinosaurs. Isn't that a major part of these movies in the first place? All in all, definetely a summer popcorn flick, but also a worthy installment to the series. Go, leave brain, sit, and enjoy the dinosaurs (and pterosaurs).
