Summary: Empty dinosaurs.
Review: In a fair world, this film would've been the biggest flop of Spielberg's career, but naturally it wasn't, because the timing was right. So what's wrong ?. The characters are boring, the story's boring, the whole thing is just one big disappointing bore. But why ?. Well, we came to see the creatures, didn't we ?. So where were they ?. The island should've been full of life, but you didn't get that feeling. It's almost like Spielberg's making fun of the audiences who flocked in hordes to the theaters; giving them suspense but no release. -Or a dino movie with no dinos. Neat. If they were so proud of their CGI effects, why didn't they show us more ?. -Ray Harryhausen at least gave you monster value for your money, with superb stop motion animation for all to SEE. I'd much rather watch good old stuff like "King Kong", or live lizards in "Journey To The Center Of The Earth", or even those rubber things in "The Land That Time Forgot".

Summary: One of the greatest movies of all time.....
Review: First of all, I would like to say that 'Jurassic Park' is one of the greatest movies of all time. It created a world in which Dinosaurs are re-created and are put in a Theme park for the world to marvel at. The one thing I can not understand does not have to do with the movie itself, but rather those people who say that it has no storyline or no good characters. Well, besides the fact that these people are blind and ignorant, but they wouldn't know a good story if their life depended on it. Jurassic Park was a frightningly 'real' movie, and it is one of the scariest ideas ever put on film. The environment of that island made me feel as if at any second, a dinosaur could jump out and attack.The music was so excellent and added greatly to the Jurassic Park's sense of wonder throughout the entire film. This moved me so greatly and I'm not sure if i have ever seen a movie with as much 'wide-eyed wonder'as Jurassic Park. It is an all-time classic, and a masterpiece of technical wizardry, science, wonder, music, and paleontology.

Summary: Always Have Someone Check Continuity and Logic
Review: Wow! Staggeringly realistic dinosaurs! Action aplenty and a slam-bang adrenalin rush (once it gets off the ground), but boy oh boy, did someone forget to check the continuity and logic! F'r instance: The T-Rex paddock is on ground level with the road (we see the soon-to-be-slaughtered goat and we watch the "T" walk through the opening) until the attack, when suddenly that ground level opening is a 100 foot drop!; A cow is lowered into the raptor cage, we hear it savaged and see the trees shake, but when the hoist is hauled up there is a tattered harness but no blood! Hmmm; The parade of jeeps hurl down the road nowhere close enough to any plant life to snatch up a piece, and yet Laura Dern has one in her hand when we meet the Brontosaurus; there are rain-flecked windshields before the rain falls; and when Sam Neill and the boy are racing down that tree to beat the rapidly approaching Jeep, why didn't they just shimmy over to the other side of the tree trunk? The jeep can't do that and would fall safely away from them. There's more but space is limited here. The film also takes way to long to get going and the premise that the park's downfall is caused by Chaos Theory is bone-headed: Wayne Knight's character's greed caused the mess, not chaos in technology or misguided science of restoring dinosaurs. But DAMN, aren't those great dinosaurs!

Summary: Too long with too much filler
Review: This could have been a much better movie but the story is a relatively short one and there is little need for character development, so the film's makers stretched out the run-time with filler. There are some scenes that would have been thrilling at 30 seconds, but literally put me to sleep as they drag on for 5 - 10 minutes. The story is interesting enough and the sights and sounds are breath-taking; it could have been a GREAT movie. The film also suffers from what I call "the boy who cried wolf" syndrome but might be more understood as "adrenaline overload." When tension scenes drag on and on with one catastrophy leading directly to the next to the next without pause, the body literally runs out of adrenaline and the viewer is left in a dull apathetic state, if not totally asleep. That sort of pacing and editing fails in the "tree drop" scene and the "kitchen" scene and elsewhere in the movie. It is almost as bad as the pacing and editing that ruined the 2nd Indiana Jones movie, "Temple of Doom." This type of editing coupled with too loud and to "hype-y" of a sound track can grind an interesting movie into the mud. You know how special moments can be created by use of music and sound effects? But when that is the WHOLE BASIS of the moment and/or it drags on and on, the viewer becomes aware of the thinness of the content and the sound and music become just so much noise. The viewer starts to percieve the sound track as a cheap trick, trying to convince the viewer that he or she is excited. The technical parts of this film are great and the story is actually very interesting. If the film were edited to be about 1/2 to 2/3 as long, I think it could rate 4 or 5 stars.

Summary: WOW
Review: This is one of the most outstanding movies ever made. It set the stage for many computer-generated monsters to follow it. "Jurassic Park" is a milestone in movie-making, and no one should be without it. Also, as usual, Speilberg delivers a great directing job and superb actors as well. I saw this movie way back when I was 8 years old, and it still blows me away every time. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes movies.
