Summary: The best out of all 3
Review: I saw Jurassic Park 3 and had high hopes that it would be an excellent movie...my hopes were correct! The action was great, it had a sense of humor, and it was really suspenseful....I was really glad I saw this movie.......I would recommend it to everybody.....it's the best out of all 3 movies!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Worthy Successor to the series...
Review: Yes, JP3 is a worthy successor to the series. Many people are saying that it doesn't have the artistic, dramatic flare that Spielberg gave JP & LW, but it does tell a fairly decent story and still has some thrills to it. The acting is casually well-done and the score is the resonating theme from the first two movies, with subtle variation. Taken on its own it is a good film with a good plot. It is not as intense as the others. I liked it. Could it have been better? Of Course, but Spielberg was both too busy and probably a little bored with dinosaurs, so he passed it on to a man who did a decent job. The good: inside jokes that require the audience to have seen BOTH of the other movies, nostalgia at the Isla Sorna set from LW, SAM NIELL and his hat, Pteradactyls (or Pteradons - whatever). Tea Leoni's reaction to a shocking surprise (did they or did they not tell her what was in the scene?). The not-so-good: No majorly intense moments that scare you. Some that had potential yet were not taken advantage of. Predictability in certain plot points that were made WAY TOO OBVIOUS, thus spoiling the surprise upon revelation of said plot points. Obvious set-up for a fourth movie: everyone has a sort-of "apprentice" of whom they could be paired with. This one is over half an hour SHORTER than the other two, which clocked in at just above two hours, but it would have dragged on if they had attempted to fill in that gap. Funniest thing in the Credits: "MAN IN SUIT" cast credit. Overall, this was a good movie. Funny moments, minimal use of dino-to-human violence compared to the others, but pretty good.

Summary: A review by me
Review: I think this is the best Jurassic Park movie yet! I keep wanting to go back to see it! I can never get enough of this movie. I really think that all of the actors did exceptional in this movie and made it real for the viewers of this movie. I believe I will be the first to buy this movie when it comes out on video and DVD.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Another example of when 2 is quite enough
Review: Jurassic Park I was incredible, we as veiwers we sent into a whole new world of dinosaurs, and in that adventure we also found out quite a bit about dinosaurs. In the second one we found out what would happen if a T-rex got caught in a big city, and of course that was disastrous. The second one was less educational and more of a blood bath. I understand that these movies were not supposed to be educational, but the educational part made it fun for the whole family.

The third and final film was the lesser of the latter two. When it started it left you wondering, and when it ended it left you grumbling. There are really only 2 kinds of dinosaurs that are portrayed in this film, raptors and the new and overrated Spinosaur. The raptors are our old arch enemies that we loath and admire at the same time. We hate them because of their belief that killing everything that isn't them is what is to be done, but we admire them in this movie for there cunning and their ability to communicate with eachother.

We are rushed into the film and the killing almost immediatelly. Allen Grant is rushed into the new island with dinosaurs, supposedely there just wasn't enough running around loose already. Stupidity is what this film is about. First of all, these new people think they can control these dinosaurs (did they not watch the first two episisodes?) Also, the cages they build are severely inadequate, which leaves you wandering who built them, and what material they were made of. For some reason this movie decided not to answer our many questions, as to why they put these dinosaurs on a new island, and if the 100 people who died before both innocent and not did not persaude them to think twice before they bred and brought to life new dinosaurs that we were missing in the past. There are so many questions that are left unanswered that this maximum of 1,000 words just wouldn't do.

Seven people die in the first 30 minutes, and then no one else dies. I guess they just didn't have room or the time to let the other actors in on it. The action scenes are quite memorable and the raptors are a lot more forgiving than before. They tried to splay some comedy here and there, which made the movie a bit more cheesier. Overall, this movie is worth the 2,4, or 6 dollars whichever you have to pay. I guess it's worth it for you to get the closure. They had to end it somehow, and like Scream 3, I think it ended in a bust. If action is what you are seeking, then here is your movie, but if you are looking for a good plot and story line, I suggest you find another movie, maybe longer than an hour and a half. Kudos to Jurassic Park 1, we will always remember it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Dino-yawn
Review: The ONLY thing that kept this from being zero stars was the occasional well-done dinosaur FX. The plot had holes big enough for a T-Rex to pass through--apparently the screenwriters figured that if we're going to suspend our disbelief enough to believe in reanimated dinosaurs, we'll believe than a ten-year-old boy can survive for two months on an island where the hardened mercenaries get eaten in the first three minutes. And the less said about the "character development" the better (gee, the divorced couple reconciles and the family is reunited thanks to sharing perilous circumstances, never seen that before!). Last but not least, the ending was pure deus ex machina and left me feeling wholly cheated. Wait 'til this one hits the cheap theater, and then, only see it if you're really really into dinosaur FX.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: We knew what was coming
Review: The same formula for the third time is used in JP 3 starring once again as the shrewd, intelligent Dr. Grant, Sam Neil. We're back to the island again! Hey, here we go boys and girls. What is the excuse this time? We lost our little boy in the jungle and now we have to go find him. Oh, whats that? Oh yes I forgot, there are thousands of man-eating dinosaurs in that jungle, but go we shall because we are in search of some ticket profit. Dr.Grant, the cool paleintologist from JP 1, is brought back into action once again when he is hired to be a guide for two people wanting an airial tour of the island. Little does he know that these two people are actually in search of their son that was lost on the island 8 weeks pretence on a parasailing excursion gone wrong. So, guess what happens? They land on the island (much to Dr. Grant's suprise) and get ambushed by a big dinosaur when trying to take off again and are stranded. Then, for the next hour, they run around getting eaten and eventually find the little boy. Yeah! Rewarding experience in the theaters. Phew! Those six dollars in my pocket were getting awfully heavy, I am glad I spent them. Not!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This sequel is a joke!
Review: I want my money back this was the worst sequel ever made. They could have done something better then making it to a kids movie. Please have a remake of Jurassic Park 3 or let 2 be the last of the series. It's good to see Sam Neil return and the kid was great. But what a waste of good money and a bad director. The only thing good about this movie was the ending that's it. Please do not go see this movie it's dumb stick with one and two.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Painful to watch
Review: After having read many previous reviews and noting that this movie was number one on its debut weekend, I thought it would be some fun weekend entertainment. Boy was I wrong. You would think that by the third movie, the movie charachters would realize that they are no match for dinosaurs, and that they shouldn't even venture near the dinosaur island. But no, people in this movie seem to be absolute morons. Well they'd have to be in order for the movie studio to churn out not one sequel but two. And the funniest part is I remember watching a trailer on TV where they mention how there are new dinosaurs in this one. Oh whooppee. Another Godzilla-type monster which gores people. Yay. This movie was a complete waste of time. I give it two stars, because, hey, the effects were good. I mean a movie's no fun if you don't really think a person's being chewed by a dinosaur, is it? There is nothing new original or funny in this movie. AVOID IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Non Stop thrill
Review: This was an awesome movie. If you remember JP1 and how exciting it was this one is more exciting than that and it definately beats Lost World. You get everything we have been dreaming of new dinosaurs smarter dinosaurs and my favorite (teridactols)Birds. Big Warning i cant spell to save my soul. I thought the best part was when they were stuck in the big bird cage that was cool. If you are reading this review log off the computer get and your car and go see it. I think it is the best movie of the summer. This movie doesnt just beat Sherk it eats it whole.
