Rating: Summary: One of the worst movies of the year... Review: Jurassic Park 3 is one of the worst films of the year, it is below mediocre and contains a laughable plot delivered by a bunch of mediocre actors. This movie is so pathetic it doesn't even deserve your consideration, it is a piece of manufactured cinema with no heart or soul. The action scenes are pointless and unsuspenseful, the acting is horrible, the plot is unconvincing, and the musical score is laughable. I can give you a hundred reasons as to why I think this movie is bad. I realised this film was going to be horrible the second the opening titles popped on the screen with the Jurassic Park 3 logo and the extremely lame and clichéd claw marks that make you 'jump out of your seat' to go to the nearest restroom and vomit. The opening prologue is even more laughable, with its horrible blue screen utilisation and bad movie score. The next fifteen minutes get even worse: Laura Dern's fakely delivers dialogue and Sam Neil begins conjuring up other pointless theories about raptor intelligence. Wasn't it obvious in the first Jurassic Park film that the raptors were intelligent? I somehow always knew that the raptors could communicate and to explore that entire concept on one movie is redundant. Next, the island we visited in The Lost World has somewhat gone through some magical ecological changes since 1997. Instead of being a jungle/forest environment it's now a swampy/jungle landscape. Not only has the environment changed but the inhabitents have also gone through some changes as well. It's like the animals are evolving in a matter of years; the velociraptors have changed colours: Palaeontologist Jack Horner suggested adding new feathers atop the male animals based on evidence that suggested the velociraptors carried feathers; the Tyrannosaur also has a new personality in Jurassic Park 3: instead of being a ferocious predator, she's a scavanger who quickly gets beaten by the spinosaurus. Whose fault is it that the animals have magically morphed? None other than Palaeontogist Jack Horner who decided to screw continuity in order to give a more 'accurate' depiction of the animals based on his silly theories and beliefs. The musical score is boring and repititious and unlike its last two predecessors: Don Davis' score places the Jurassic Park theme in unnecessary moments and gives no life to the movie whatsoever. Davis adds nothing to the Jurassic Park franchise and neither does the movie's director Joe Johnston. I hope that someday someone with intelligence is handed the throne of directing a Jurassic Park movie, someone who can save a dying franchise recognised by brainless summer moviegoers and five/fifteen year old boys, someone who can return dignity to the already dead franchise. Erase this hollywood mistake by making a Jurassic Park 4 with an actual subtitle, that completely dismisses the retarded brother Jurassic Park 3 is to the original Jurassic Park and the highly underrated The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Rating: Summary: A Movie Too dumb for words. Review: It has to be one of the worst movies ever made, and the fact that a few people even likes this film is even more scary. To those people, I really feel sorry for you. You probably never saw a good movie in you life.
Rating: Summary: A Disgrace To Human Intelligence!! Review: This may have been the worst movie I've seen in about two years (and that's saying something because I saw 'Reindeer Games' in the year 2000). I wish I could give a positive to this film. I guess if I really had to reach, I would say that I didn't have to pay money to view it, as a friend had rented it. Perhaps the worst dialogue in motion picture history...and I could live with that if the effects didn't look like they were created from the team that brought you 'Anaconda' and 'BATS'. It's a giant puppet show, really. I swear that 3rd Grade kids collaborated on making some of the dinosaurs. No redeeming quality at all. No characters, no dinosaurs worthy of screen time, another horrible kid actor, a pathetic attempt at a love story, another really dismal sequel. Ten times worse than 'The Lost World'. Don't waste eighty cents on this complete mess. Take that eighty cents and throw it into a muddy pond...much more exciting.
Rating: Summary: movie thrown together; not as bad as JP2 but pretty close Review: with all the hype JPIII got when it was coming out in the theatres, I was expecting a very good movie, possibly even better than the first. I was very dissapointed when I saw this movie last night. The plot was probally the worst part of this movie, obviously rushed and thrown together. First of all, Dr. Grant is convinced way to easy to go BACK to the island as if he never learned about what happened in the first two movies. Secondly, this movie totally leaves you hanging about the outcome of JPII. Dr. Grant mentions it ONE time in the entire movie, and even when he mentions it, he asks people not to ask him about it (what a way by the writers to get out of actually doing work to try to fit the ending of JP2 into JP3, laziness). JP3 could have very easily been a movie on its own rather than a sequal because it does not seem to fit into the previous installments. It kind of fits into the plot of the JP1 but definetely not JP2. Finally, one very interesting thing about the plot, is that there were only three kills in the entire movie. The first two kills happened in the beginning and the last one happened in the middle and thats it the rest of the movie involved the characters running from the same big dinosaur and of course, raptors. In addition to this the little boy that was trapped on the island was there for 8 WEEKS before the other people arrived. How could you survive even more than a week on an island full of flesh-eating carnivores? Impossible in my opinion. In addtion to this, how in the world did they get off the island losing only three people when most of the time they were just sitting around outside talking. One more thing about the plot, it seems that the writers made up stuff as they went along instead of actually THINKING about what they wanted to do in the movie before they wrote it. Many times throughout the movie, new situations would be introduced that would have had no relevance to the story line if they had been left out. But the fact that they introduced them forced the writers to keep talking about it, which made the plot even worse. Now the action sequences. Other than the first scene on the island, there was no creativity in this movie as far as this goes. As one reviewer said, just alot of screams, roars and running. The visual effects themselves were good, as they have always been, but just no creativity in the actual scences. I won't spend much time on the action portion, because there is not really much to talk about. If you saw the first two movies, then you basically won't see anything new in this one. JP3 was rushed and no thought was put into making a very good movie. I kept waiting for something "good" to happen that would make the movie more interesting and enjoyable. I keep waiting, and waiting and then before I knew it, the movie was over. If it wasn't a couple of scences and definetely the last scences of JP2, I would say that JP3 is the worse movie in this series. However with JP2 being totally stupid and corny, I do not dare say JP3 is worse than JP2, but it is pretty close. Unless you want to collect the entire JP series, just rent this movie.
Rating: Summary: Three times the excitement! Three times the adventure! Review: People are strange animals. Dinosaur lovers are even more so. Until the Jurassic Park Trilogy, we only had Godzilla, Dinosaurus!, Valley of Gwangi, and a few others with guys in rubber suits. So why do so many JP Lovers, dislike, even hate, this movie? So why a JPIII? Why not? The first two were boxoffice hits for Universal, so do the math. The whole Trilogy has taken spfx to new heights, these dinosaurs are ALIVE! JPIII has a lot of fun scenes, great action, and you gotta love the whole Spinosaur/Tyrannosaur fight, right outta King Kong! It's great stuff!!! And the Pteranodons were fantastic! Here's looking ahead to Jurassic Park IV!
Rating: Summary: (...) Review: It's quite clear from the first 10 minutes that the author was not involved with this film. I wish I could say that the dinosaurs looked real, that the plot was believable (even for fiction), and that the ending was a show-stopper...but then I'd be lying through my teeth. The edge, the excitement, and the awe from JP-1 left the building when JP-3 arrived. Even the "mighty Raptors" couldn't deliver this story from sequel/trilogy hell; one can only milk the intelligence of these creatures for so many movies, and then it just gets ridiculous. (...)
Rating: Summary: nearly as good as first Review: very pleasantly suprised.well worth a watch.surround sound also top notch.
Rating: Summary: Good Fun Popcorn Action Movie! Review: Jurassic Park III? I was thinking the same thing as most, and that was, "Why?". Why go see this if Spilberg's not directing? Why did they make another one when the second one wasn't any good? I found the awnsers when I picked up this DVD. Director Joe Johnston brings back the thrills and more importlany fun of the frist move. The running time is short so the movie has no time to let up or slowdown for a second. All the actors are good, but like in every Jurassic Park movie the real stars are the dinos themselves. All I have to say is the FX in this movie isn't on par with the others, but they do get the job done. This DVD is worth the purchas
Rating: Summary: Great entertaining Review: This is again a very good attempt by Steven spielberg.Great horror and effects by him.I saw that movie five times.Two times in cineme and three time at home.
