Summary: Part 3 Is Fun, But We Miss Spielberg
Review: Jurassic Park 3 isn't what it should of been. Clocking in at only 95 minutes or so, it doesn't have that epic blockbuster behemoth feel like the first two films. It appears as if it were slapped together very quickly. The best part about this movie is the return of Sam Neill. A mysterious couple(William H. Macy, Tea Leoni)want Dr. Alan Grant(Neill)to fly them over the dinosaur island. They say they are adventurers. Dr. Grant disagrees until they offer to help fund his projects. He agrees and it's off. The plane they are on crash lands onto the island and the couple reveal that they are not who they say they are. They have a secret agenda. That's all I'll say about that. The action scenes are really fun and exciting. Some of them were even better than The Lost World. Director Joe Johnston is a great director, and he does the best with a flimsy, barely there script. Tea Leoni is, I have to say it, annoying. She keeps yelling. The dinosaurs are impressive as always. They look as real as can be. But, sadly, the magic and majestic beauty created in the first isn't here. Sure there are scenes that look great, but it's not enough. Come back Steven Spielberg!. We miss you!.

Summary: Best of the 3 by FAR!
Review: Okay, so number 1 was incredible. Blew me away. (Seemed) nothing could top it. Then came "The Lost World," which- well- wasn't very good. OK. But then comes "JP3." After #2, I was reluctant to even see it, but I am SO glad I did. JP3 has more dinos, more action, and more blood than 1 & 2 combined. Here's a warning though: 1 & 2 were kiddie-geared movies, violence was kept as limited as possible. This one is gorey and has some language. An "R" rating would really fit it better. Heed the PG-13 rating.

Summary: More dino shots than the first two combined
Review: I am one of the few people who thought the Lost World was better than the first Jurassic Park. Reasons, more dino shots, better effects, more people got eaten, and no t-rex vision based on movement. Jurassic Park 3 was much better than the first and slightly better than the second. Ever since I saw saw the first film I wondered why the raptors had no feathers. In Jurassic Park 3 the raptors had feather crests. Crests are better than nothing I guess. Jurassic Park 3 involves the return of Allen Grant who was not in The Lost World. Still I was hoping the dinosaurs would terrorize the mainland. I hope they do in Jurassic Park 4. Jurassic Park 3 had the best effects I have ever seen so far. In some scenes it was impossible to tell the difference between anamatronic and CGI. Jurassic Park 3 also have more dino shots than the first two combined. Jurassic Park 3 had a new dino bad dude spinosaurs. If you count the big sail on its back it was the same size as t-rex. It had less powerful jaws but more powerful arms. The rex vs. spino battle was one of the best FX battles in history of movies. The main reason Jurassic Park 3 got four stars instead of five was there was not enough killing. All of the main charactors survived. The fun of the first two was you didn't know who will live. Jurassic Park 3 took that away from you. This is still a good movie.

Summary: big dumb but fun
Review: jp3 may not reach the level that the orginal reached but it was more than enough fun to go and watch when there was nothing to do during the summer. it had some of the best action set peices of the summmer but its only let down is not the acting as you would beleive or the sfx (which actually surpass the other sequels) instead it is the lackuruss ending that quite simply ruins the film
do not go to see this if you are expecting to see a great film instead it is only a good one that could be improved upon. *note to joe johnson film a better ending and stick it on the dvd.

Summary: WHY?? WHY?? WHY??
Review: Horrific !! Why wasted such good material with bad, stupid script and bad editing ?? Even an A list cast would not be able to save this very bad piece of work !! I seriously looking forward to the director's comment in the DVD on how and why did he made this terrible film.

Summary: Lots of action and new dinosaurs
Review: In this movie they have new dinosaurs and bit of comady like the first one and lots of action. The Story A wealthy couple convinces Alan Grant (Sam Neill) to do a fly by over the island SIT B but only to become a rescue mission.
On the island they run into new dinosaurs like the new villian spinosaurus and new flying ones called pteranodon. This movie always keep my attention and everyone should see it

Summary: Big Cash In $$$$$
Review: I cannot believe how putrid this movie is. Yes, it had some great moments, but absolutly NO feeling! Okay, The Lost World: Jurassic Park was a little tough to understand but the recipe that Spielberg uses is unsurpassed for these films. I enjoyed believeing that these creatures were real and the human ideas of leaving these animals alone because we cannot control everything. This movie just gives you action, special effects, and no story. This movie is only 1 1/2 hours long, 30 minutes or more less than the first two.
I work in Universal City and have been on many of the sets for JP2 and JPIII. The sets are beautiful, the action is intense, the script is childish, and the score is grotesque. I believe that Universal gave the audience what people wanted to see - Dinosaurs and action. As long as people keep going to see movies like this then more sequels in this fashion will be made. I don't mind sequels, but they need to be respectable so they can continue on a saga.
I am a JP fan. I do suggest seeing this film. If you are a fan, you may never watch it again. If you want action and explosive sound - You'll love it.

Summary: Still amazed at those dinosaurs.
Review: The dinosaurs just keep getting better in this series. I wish they would do one of these with less "running and screaming". Nothing new in this movie that you haven't already seen. Having read the books, I wish they would have followed them in the movies. The two books had much better stories.

Summary: Just shrug your shoulders ...
Review: This for me, again, was a lazy "I'll treat myself to a movie" type afternoon. So, that said, I wanted to try to catch Jp3 before it left theaters. To be brief, the movie used basically the same formula as the other two: people get trapped on the island and try to escape. My problem with the movie was less with what it did and more with what it didn't do. The first movie was a groundbreaking classic. It gave the audience something it had never seen before, much in the same way that the fictional creator of Jurassic Park was trying to do. The second movie seemed (and was) kind of forced due to the popularity of the original. It was enjoyable, but even then, I remember one of the criticisms being that it wasn't really breaking any new ground. Unfortunately the same holds true here. It's not a particularly bad movie, it just that you keep getting the "been-there-done-that" impression that the franchise has nothing left to offer. I've also read a few criticism of the ending. Personally the ending disappointed me in that I thought it was the only interesting part of the movie. How much more enjoyable would the movie had been if it was about, say, the marines reclaiming the island from hyper-intelligent Raptors (a-la Starship Troopers, or the classic Aliens)? If nothing else, it would certainly put a new spin on things. Because as it stands now, the only thing I took away from Jurassic Park III was the absolute certainty that the franchise had officially run out of steam.

Summary: Surprisingly GOOD!
Review: I was glad to see this movie and since I didn't expect much it was even better. That's probably because Spielberg wasn't involved! Spielberg has a way of watering down movies with kiddie-stuff that will help his movies to end up as happy meals at Mcdonald's. I expected annoying kids and corny dialogue (who could forget HOOK?!) Instead, the kid in this is actually cool and the cast are excellent but as always the dinosours are the real stars and the reason most of us go to see these movies. This was by far the best in the series so far. I hope they do another one and that one of the dinosaurs will fall on Spielberg if he comes anywhere near the set!
