Summary: Lots of Suspense, and Even More Special Effects!
Review: Jurassic Park III really did a number on the summer box office. It grossed $100,485,000 in the box office. I think that people expected too much drama in this film, but it was ALL action. They have had been too much talk about the film lacking a storyline! WHAT?!? If you're too dumb too see the storyline then you dont know too much.The film is about a supposedly rich couple (William H Macy and Téa Leoni), whose son gets lost in the Jurassic Park. Now they must retrieve him by taking dinosaur expert Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neil) and his protégé (Allesandro Nivola), to take them on a tour of the park. Little does the Doctor know that their planning on landing in Jurassic Park! From then on all new dinosaurs appear, and the chaos begins. This film was far-too short, but it is a great movie. (The movie only lasted 1 Hour: 23 Minutes). But it has superb acting, and great script, not to mention a ton of action. If there's one action DVD you can't resist, its this!

Summary: BEST DINOSAUR MOVIE
Review: To my surprise, this movie is much better than the first two movies in terms of story and special effects.
This sequel gets right to the point and wastes no time. The story flows quickly and sustains the excitement from begining to end.
The special effects are the best I have ever seen. The dinosaurs look extremely good and they move extremely smooth. The newer creatures make the special effects even sweeter.

Summary: This is a Jurassic Park Film...?
Review: I belive what made both Jurassic Park and The Lost World so good was the directed talent of Steven Spielberg, the book writing of Michael Crichton, and the music of John Williams. None of whom were involved with this movie and when you see a Jurassic Park film helmed by a different director and new music composer, the result is a disaster. Not even the good acting of Sam Neil can salave this picture which really serves no useful purpose aside from another go around where the dinosaurs eat half the cast, only a small handful of them escape the island, There has been some recent news to come out of Universal is that they were not happy with this movie either and have dropped it from the esatblished continunity of the first two movies. They have asked Steven to return and do a fourth and final Jurassic Park movie, but I don't hold out much hope that a fourth film will save this movie series and give it a better finish, but you never know!

Summary: A Decent Sequel
Review: I didn't expect much coming into this, but I have to say that it was a pretty good action/thriller. The plot is actually decent, with a divorced couple trying to find their son and her boyfriend. Sam Neill is good as usual, and Laura Dern makes a brief, but welcome cameo. The action sequences are outstanding, particularly the part in the pterodactyl cage. This is a very intense, very adrenalizing movie that anyone who enjoys a good thrill ride will love. It's already on my wish list.

Summary: TO HAPPY OF A MOVIE
Review: Ok frist of all this movie is so lovey-dovey i made me sick. In the first two movies the dinos killed many many people in thsi one they only eat 2. 2 freaking people omg whats up with that, an island full of dinos and only two people die. I mean the frist parts of the movie are really good but once it gets to the part were the kid saves dr. grant it all goes down hill from there. I makes me sick, this movie is a joke JP III is an insult to this series. The first one was really good the second had its moments but the third is geared toward little kids. I mean its like they wanted to make even more money with the toys with this movie then all the others i mean they had toys that were not even in the movie. finally this movie is an insult to all the good monster movies

Summary: Not bad, not good either
Review: In my eyes, the Jurassic Park series has gone downhill each sequel. This sequel has nothing more than great dinosaur effects. Storywise, I'm sure kids will love it.What is with the obsession with the velociraptors? There are so many other interesting dinosaurs to bring to life, why focus on these in particular for 3 films? And this spinosaurus, dont make me laugh. It can bring down airplanes and kill a T-rex, but thats about it. I guess if all dinosaurs were human size the spinosaurus would be the first extinct dinosaur. And where was this superior dinosaur up until now? Sleeping? Who knows. Maybe it should take some advice from the velociraptors,since they can basically do everything except drive a car(part 4?). If theres to be a JP4, I hope they leave out the spinosaurus, drop some of the velociraptor coverage and invest some time in the multitudes of dinosaurs on whatever island they go to next time.

Summary: Poor Sam
Review: Is this the best Steven Spielberg cold do? Oh that's right he didn't direct it, how obvious. Did they honestly think that a movie with the name "Jurassic" in it and zero quality in it would do well? How dumb do they think we are? I saw this movie and wanted the entire cast to get eaten, and was disapointed when certain people lived. I feel really bad for Sam Neill there is no way this movie could have looked good on paper, they must have driven a dump truck full of money up to his house for him to say yes to this movie. I loved Jurassic Park. It should have stopped there. I bought Lost Word because it came with the Jurassic Park DVD. Also in that set was a free pass to JP 3, I went and even though the ticket was free I still felt like I was ripped off. Just thinking about JP 3's plot is making mad. Horrible.

Summary: High Marks for This Sequel
Review: One of the best sequels produced in recent years for a blockbuster original. It seems that when one views a movie sequel we always compare it to the previous hit. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, Lethal Weapon, and now Jurassic Park have had sequels. The question is does the movie stand on its own. If it were the first film in the series, would it stand up as a good film. In this case, the answer is definitely Yes. The dinosaurs are truly great, the action is good and the story is believeable but a little weak. Sam Neill's character is revived as the hero to lead the group of uneducated stranded victims to safety. Of course, the dinosaurs are a small obsticle to their survival as they are pursued across the island by velociraptors and a very large and aggressive spinosaurus. A very entertaining and enjoyable film. **** stars

Summary: JURASSIC PARK III is proof that dino flicks still rock!!
Review: I've already seen this movie 5 times in theaters and each time it gets better. If you like scary dino movies than stick with THE LOST WORLD, but JP III is a good old fashioned B movie at its best with likeable characters, amazing effects, and roller-coaster ride sequences. Not as amazing as it was back in 1994 with the first JP, but this new movie proves that if you work hard and put your heart and soul in it, even a Part 3 can be fun.

Summary: Film Delivers Nothing New
Review: Perhaps I've taken it for granted that the viewing public considered this to be the weakest film in the series, because it is. JP3 is a film that had to be made to round out the trilogy, but they went about it wrong in almost every area. For one thing--and perhaps the biggest gripe of all--is that JP3 does NOT try to one-up the past two films with a new idea. In the original, the simple concept of believable dinosaurs sufficed and a classic was created. In the Lost World, a film of lesser quality than its predecessor, it maintained a revolutionary advantage by introducing dinosaurs into human culture, here signified by San Diego. In JP3, everyone is back on the island and the film seems like only a poor remake of the original; there is nothing new here, and everything that has been carried over was enacted to a far greater degree in the first film. The film suffers in this respect, but further complaints are pending. For one thing, dialogue is often laughable and character motivations seem to be negated completely. Moreover, the ending is so incredibly anticlimatic that is undeniably apparent that the script was NOT completely finished at the time of production. But all this is not to condemn the film in its entirety. The dinosaurs look great as usual and even though I can't enjoy the film's story as I did the original, I will no doubt return to this chapter to enjoy the continuing spectacle of computer animation. Also, though the pacing--especially in the beginning--can seem awfully rushed, there is a steady stream of action that doesn't cease and yet still doesn't tire the audience. Perhaps to the benefit of the audience, the short running time doesn't overstay the welcome of such a flawed film. So, what I get from this film is this: It's great to see Dr. Grant in the park again; it's great to see those believable dinosaurs; it's a good adventure. However: there is nothing new given to the viewer; a far from satisfactory story negates anything resembling plot; and it has characters that go no where and who, frankly, you don't really ever care to meet again. In short, see it to relive your past enthusiasm for the series, see it for the effects, don't see it to find a satisfying and respectable addition to the genre.
