Summary: Rooting for the Dinosaurs
Review: I can live without a plot, but not without character development of any kind. The humans that end up on this dinosaur island are both incompetent and malicious. They kidnap the professor and force him onto the island. They steal raptor eggs. All while shouting as they look for a 10 year old boy. 10 minutes into this film, you'll be rooting for the dino's to finish off the humans and end the movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Jurassic Park has run its course
Review: In my opinion this movie was just mindless action with little plot. The special effects are good most of the time but at times things just look fake. The plot is not nearly as interesting as the first two films. This movie screams "CASH RUN"!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Exciting and Fun Movie
Review: This is a very fun and exciting movie. Although the ending seemed a little bit rushed, this movie is my favorite of the Jurassic Park films. The dinosaurs look very realistic and exciting. After I saw the movie, I rented The Lost World: Jurassic Park. I had seen it a few years before,and I thought it was pretty good,but after seeing Jurassic Park 3, I found that it just wasn't as exciting as the third film. I thought the new dinos were cool(Spinosaurus, Pteronedon)and I can't wait to see JP3 when it comes out on video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The BEST Yet (in my 'pinion)
Review: This movie is the BEST yet! I could not wait for it to be released. ALL of my freinds and I watch it the first day. It is better than the second one most definetly (when hey took the T-rex to Los Angeles or New York [i cant remember]well that was stupid) As far as the raptors are concerned it wasn't better than the kitchen scene in the first. If the Velociraptors didn't set traps it would have been boring. In the first raptor part when they were in the building looking at the unfinished dinosaurs and the woman looks into the tube and sees a raptor she thinks it is inside but it blinks and jumps out at her I knew that was coming but it still scared the [...] out of me. Why the raptors ran away once they got their eggs I don't know. was it because of the noise Alan made or because they heard the helicopters. the real raptors would have ripped them to pieces. Spinosaurus was great but I don't like how he killed the T-rex in 30 seconds. Pteradactals were great too. in the end the pteradactals flew away from the island. this may possibly set up JP4(i hope). I really give the movie a 5(4.5 really)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Dark and Delightful
Review: I was desperate to see this film on its opening day here in England and was fairly excited by the whole thing, especially after hearing good word of mouth from public and critics alike. Its rare to find sequels getting good word of mouth from top critics. I must say I thouroughly enjoyed the film. Its a masterpiece compared to The Lost World, but not as good as the original adventure. JPIII is dark, funny, and best of all, short. Had the films running time been any longer than 10 minutes, it probably wouldn't have been as good. But its brilliant the way it is. Its just action and adventure all the way with each set piece getting more and more bigger and better. All the sequences with the Spinosauraus are wonderful, especially the boat attack and fight with the T-rex, and as for the familiar Raptor scenes, these are all given a new and impressive light concentrating more on there intelligence and social behaviors. JPIII is a worthy addition to the Jurassic Park franchise, but I'm not sure if the studios will be able to take it further. But I would recommend this to anyone. For pure fantasy JPIII has some of the best visual effects I've seen since The Matrix, and its worth watching just for that.

Summary: I'd give it zero, but the dinos were cool...
Review: This movie was horrible!! If you want to see a movie w/ special effects and animal's revolting wait for Planet of the Apes this weekend! It was awful. Tea Leoni and William H. Macy's characters were just cheesy and annoying.They ruined the movie, but it would have been awful anyway, probably.She screamed like a guy, she was just annoying. The acting was horrible! Every scene they were in I hoped a dinosaur would eat them. They tried to make William H. Macy's character funny when there was no need for comic relief in the movie. ( I guess they tried to repeat Jeff Goldblum, but he was actually funny) For example, His character was being chased by a dinosaur, and suddenly he starts telling some chessy fishing story ( which was not funny)?!?!?! It was just stupid. Don't waste your time. Go see America's Sweethearts or the Score...

Summary: A Decent Addition to the Franchise
Review: Summed up, this third installment of the Jurassic Park franchise was a solid installment in the series. It still contains all the blood-curdling thrills that made the first such a humongous hit. Tons of suspense and "holy BLEEP" moments in this one. Overall, it's a great way to kill a few hours.

If you're squeamish do be aware that a few sick and gross moments are in the film.

The basic plotline has our hero Dr. Grant returning to the island of dinosaurs after being conned into a rescue mission for the son of a couple after a parasailing accident. In all the story makes for some great "tender family moments" and tons of suspense and action as our heroes battle (or more like RUN and HIDE) from the monstrous predators.

Cool stuff: the revelation of the Raptors intelligence (really spooky to think if this were true and they still were around), the Pterodactyls and the brawl between these two T-Rexs

Not so cool stuff: the very abrupt ending to the movie that just screams, "Okay, that's enough, let's wrap it up here."

Overall though, it's a great flick to kill a few hours. Other than the ending, you'll come away with a "this one's pretty cool" feeling at the end. It's not as good as the first, but better than part two.

Summary: Great action, bad plot, bad story!
Review: They should have quit while they were ahead. Some of the scenes are just too unbelievable. One that stands out the most would be the final rescue scene in which a man stands on the beach with a mega-phone and calls out to the group as they exit the forest onto the beach, "Dr. Grant!", as if some other group of people just happened to be on this island too. The only thing that would have been worse, would have been if the guy was holding a sign that read "Grant Party". Sure it's believable that they make a satelite phone call, only to get disconnected, and Dern dials *69 to call them back, and she's able to figure out their location from Dr. Grant yelling "We're in the river." She gets the Army, Navy and the Marines to come rescue them in less than 45 minutes out in the middle of nowhere. I don't think so. And was I mistaken, or was that a raptor, with a Darth Maul make-up job. Can you say, cheesy!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: What???
Review: The movie was pretty good. Better than I was expecting. The first one is still the best. Anyway, what was with the ending. It just kind of stopped. Whoever did the editing or the scriptwriting needs to be hit. What was with the marines? That was just so stupid. Great Beginning! Great Middle! BAD BAD BAD Ending.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: No Spielberg, No Thrills
Review: Saying that there are no thrills is sort of a lie. This movie did have a little bit of thrills. Thats about it. I was so excited about this movie coming out because I loved the first two. I noticed that Steven Spielberg didn't direct this and I was wondering about how good this movie would be, so I decided to give it a try.

This is a horrible movie in plot and concept. This movie is also a waste of talent. William H. Macy, one of my favorite actors, is the only thing that gives the acting sort of a boost. Most of the characters were very dry, including Sam Neill, who was so great in the first one. I wish that the little boy got eaten by a dinosaur. He was sooooo annoying. The problem with this movie was that every line had to be funny. The screenwriter probably spent so much time trying to be funny, it turned out not to be.

Like I said, the only good thing in this movie is the effects, though cheesy, they are sometimes breathtaking.

All in all, this movie was horrible and very disappointing. Do you want to know why? It wasn't directed by Steven Spielberg.
