Summary: Fast Paced Dino-Action
Review: I thought this was a refreshing change from the previous two movies. You don't have to wait till half the movie is over to see some action. Sam Niell did a great job reprising his role as Dr. Grant. Some great new dinos in this one!

Summary: It's more of a family movie
Review: I saw this movie on july 6th (Private screening), and i was surprised on how unviolent the movie was. A LOT of things were too obvious, Tea Leoni's character was VERY annoying (You'll have to see what happens later), there must have been AT LEAST 20 flaws, and the commercials gave the suspense away. But, overall, the actors did a good job, and it was a fun movie to watch. The reason why i would say this was geared for families is because there was only about 2 scenes involving blood(one was just the dead body of another dinosaur, the other was involved with the propellor of the plane.) If you are thinking this will be like the other jurassic parks, big mistake! But still, go see it.

Summary: Was that a new mowie?
Review: This has got to be one of the least exiting movies I've seen in quite some time.I must admit I didnt see the first 10 min, but the rest of it was boring from one end to the other, and no doubt the first part was just as boring. First stupid thing they do is land on this Island with their plane to search for a lost child. Second stupid thing is the mother grabbing a megafone beginning YELLING after her child, and as some might guess, it doesnt take 5 min before they are attacked by some dino, they try to take off, crash and is attacked by the same dino. Then your first 3-5 people is dead (didnt keep count...). The same pridictable store continue 'til the end and even the most exiting chase scenes dont get your blod pumping. The actors are actually fine actors, but either the instructor or the script truly suck, because they simply dont live up to their expectations. All in all, dont waste your money, wait 'til the tv shows it, and forget to see it then.

Summary: Effects so good, even the dialogue isn't real.
Review: I attended a screening of this movie last night and got just what I expected -- The third installment of a franchise that should have stopped after the first. Here is the movie in a nutshell; people think they are okay, people do something stupid, dinosaurs attack people, people escape dinosaurs - rinse and repeat. This same sequence occurs approximately 10-15 times. Of course the occasional person dies, the occasional dinosaur dies, and there's the obligatory scene where they dig in dino poo. Don't get me wrong, the effects are good, and in case you haven't guessed, there are pterodactyls in this one. Take above format, include a bit of flying, and you get the idea. If you like to watch computer generated critters, then this is the movie for you. If you get in free with free popcorn and soda as I did, then consider it. If you have to pay actual cash money, you may want to stop and ponder for a moment, "wouldn't it be more fun to do laundry?" If you are a fan of the second movie of this series, then the chances are that you will also like this one. The one point in the movie is that it is not a good idea to bring back something from extinction. This is a lesson that sadly, the studio itself has forgotten.

Summary: Get over the cheese and enjoy!
Review: Ok, there are some sappy moments in this one, but for the most part it is as action packed as the first! The humor is well placed and keeps the film rolling right along. I thought it seemed a bit short, but in the times of movies like A.I. and other long epics, I guess less is sometimes more. Great action, great effects! Must learn to speak raptor... it looks cool ;)

Summary: It's the sequel of a sequel, what did you expect?
Review: Let's face it, 80% of us will go watch this movie if only because we want to recapture the thrill of the first (and still the best) Jurassic Park. Scenes of the the scientists Grant and Sattler meeting their first live dinosaur on Isla Nublar as well as the way T-Rex gobbled up the lawyer will always be remembered as the gems they are. Plus it had a great storyline to go with it (the book was better, tho). Which brings us to JP3, the third instalment of the JP series. Sam Neil is back as Dr. Alan Grant, so is Laura Dern (in a minor role), and of course T-Rex. Grant accompanies two 'extreme adventurers' played by Tea Leoni and William H. Macy into Isla Sorna otherwise known as Ingen Corp.'s Site B. Their plane crashes (of course) and they are left to their own devices on the island battling the dinos. Like most sequels, the plot is minimal. "Build them dinos and they will come." must have been their motto. It was as if they didn't have a screenplay to begin with and decided to let the CGI people figure out the plot as they went along creating the dinos. T-Rex, like Dern, only appears briefly as a new leaner and meaner dinosaur takes centrestage - the spinosaurus. Larger and smarter, it tracks down the dwindling party as they try to find their way out of the island. Oh, and satelite phone sales might skyrocket this year. The velociraptors also reprise their role as the intelligent almost human creatures. Only this time, they can erm... talk. Well in dino language at least. However, perhaps the best surprise of them all, are the pteradactyls. I was disappointed when the first JP didn't feature these great flying killling machines, but here they're given their fifteen minutes of fame as they soar through the valleys and cliffs pecking away at Grant and the others in what I feel is the best sequence of the entire 90 minutes of the film. I won't give any more of the (weak) storyline away except to say that it has all the usual (but essential) ingredients needed for a successful summer movie - lots of suspense, action, estranged characters get back together when faced with impending doom..... And no, there are no T-Rex chasing people in San Diego scenes. I really wasn't expecting much for this film and as a result I was pleasantly surprised. It had that a-thrill-a-minute kind of feel to it that rivalled the first JP. And it is after all a sequel to a sequel. As a result it lacked the element of surprise. But it quite makes up for it with the excellent CGI and cinematography. A word of caution: It's not really suitable for children as the blood and gore is rivals that of the first JP. So, parents beware. My main complain (as will be yours when you've seen it) is the abrupt and dissapointing ending. Loose ends weren't tied, dinos were still roaming around and worse, Tea Leoni was still alive. It felt as though the director or producer had enough of the film at the 90th minute mark and said, "OK, that's it. We'll end it here." But if you can forgive them for that final gaff (the Marines? What were they thinking??), then perhaps you'll like this show enough to go watch it again if only to see those Pteradactyls soar once more. It's a summer popcorn movie, what did you expect?

Summary: JUST MY OPINION (don't take me too seriously)
Review: First and foremost I must admit I loved the first two movies, so to rate this one is basically impossible, I'm not able to give it less than five stars (maybe four and a half). The movie is a very intense thrill ride, but not gory as many want to make believe, just as much blood as in the previous movies in the series. The action scenes (which are a lot) beat even the "T-Rex trashes the Explorers" of JP1. My only complaint is that all the action scenes don't last longer, in fact the whole movie clocks around 90 minutes. And the end... it seems as if they ran out of time, which is funny considering JP & TLW are at least half-hour longer. Personally, i liked the Pteros scenes better than the much hyped T-rex/Spynoo fight, which was great too, but the outcome (and lenght) was disappointing. The sets in this one are very moody, too, the jungle, the abandoned labs and the birdcage ae awesome. It's hard to rank in which place this one ends up when comparing it to the other two. I think they are all tied in first place, each one with their's own flaws and strenghts. Anyway, I thank the heavens this movie was available in sneak-peek here so early! My final word is that if you liked JP and TLW, you'll like this one... now, it's time to wait for that DVD release and (probably) JP4.

Summary: good vibes...VERY good vibes
Review: true, i havn't seen the movie yet. but i have had so much fun in the past year trying to figure out and piece together the movie. and i know it's gonna be great, maybe even better than jurassic park. i own the soundtrack, which is gonna contribute a great deal to the film, and alot of the toys (shut up!) from the pieces i've seen and heard about (especially in the movie trailers) jurassic park III IS gonna be the best. it's going to have classic scenes, like in one of the trailers it shows a pteranodon slowly emerging from fog. THAT'S what the first two movies lacked: fog. i'm seeing it opening day with my girlfriend and i can't wait to see how many of my suspicions/conclusions are correct. i'm especially looking forward to the appearence of the spinosaurus and william h. macy (i loved his performance in fargo.) so...see the movie

Summary: don't waste your money & precious spare time
Review: Once you've seen JP II and JP I, you've seen enough. I don't know the exact reason Spielberg didn't do this film, but to me it's pretty obvious: wouldn't you get tired of being stuck on a park with Dinosaurs? I mean how many different plots can you come up with given that they're extinct? How many times can you stretch the plausibility of this? This movie sounds like a desperate attempt on the studios lacking creative innovation to try to milk the JP franchise for all it's worth without respecting the audience's desire to see something new. A good rule of thumb in making a sequel is that you have to add something new and worthwhile and have something to say that you didn't say in the movies prior to the sequel. Unfortunately, this movie doesn't seem to live up to that rule. If you want a good action movie, try Kiss of the Dragon.

Summary: JOE JOHNSTON/STEVEN SPIELBERG team in the works!
Review: JURASSIC PARK III sets the return of Dr. Alan Grant (Jurassic Park, Bicentennial Man) as he leads a group caught in a plane crash into the wilderness filled with raged, smart-minded, scary as ever- dinosaurs. Director Joe Johnston takes over for Spielberg in the third Jurassic Park blockbuster of the summer, continuing where THE LOST WORLD left off. STEVEN SPIELBERG now serves as executive producer, but, Kathleen Kennedy and her team return as producers for the film, and STAN WINSTON and crew return to make, new, monstrous dinosaurs! JPIII opens July 18th! I am going to this movie on its opening day, Wednesday July 18, in the afternoon where the theater won't be so packed here in Minnesota. I'm sure this film will be great! The dinosaurs, I have to admit, don't seem as real as in the first to. But only JURASSIC PARK III will tell, so until July 18th, when I come home to Amazon.com with my review for this film, IT LOOKS LIKE A PROMISING GOOD ONE- so check this one out. IT IS GOING TO BE THE MOVIE OF THE SUMMER- topping the action-adventure films of the summer including: LAURA CROFT:TOMB RAIDER, SWORDFISH, THE MUMMY RETURNS, PEARL HARBOR, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS- etc. Go JURASSIC PARK III!- MJV & the Movies.
