Summary: Not so Scary, but still a Terrific Adventure
Review: Jurassic Park III was not as gory or suspenseful as the first two movies, but it was definetely a lot of fun because of the setting and the diversity of creatures. The raptors were noticeably different from the ones we saw in the other two films. These were more colourful and one even had a crest. Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), of course, will be missed. The film lacks the complicated plot that the first two had, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. This story was simply an adventure about getting out alive. No sub-plots, no schemes, no human villains (although the character Billy doesn't fail to surprise you). Don't expect the scare of the original movie, but I think one will be pleasantly surprised. Besides, this one doesn't have the disappointingly cliched 'godzilla' ending.

Summary: could you tell it wasn's based on a book?
Review: Ahh yes, the 3rd installment of the best-selling Michael Crichton novel. As I and I hope may of you can tell this 3rd episode is not based on a novel written by him, more of a continuation of a profitable series by those in hollywood. First off, the premise is weak. They say that the island is some 200 miles off the Costa Rican coast, yet somehow a 15 ft fishing boat has made it out that far. Second, I do (sort of) understand that they are wanting to be close so that they can see dinosaurs, not the MOST creative premise but hey whatever works right?? Second, why did they even include Laura Dern in the movie? I would guess that they did not have plans to, but when they did not know how to get them OFF the island in the end, that is when she came in to play. And yet she does not even show up at the end. Third, the final (battle) scene. Who can forget JP1 when Grant and others are surrounded in the visitors center by 3 velociraptors when T-Rex comes and gobbles them away, allowing them to esacpe. Not to mention the magnificent plight of attempting to get away from the raptors that happened prior to this. In the second, the T-Rex plowing through city streets looking for her baby. In this installment, there is none. Even the MAIN so called "mean" or "main dinsaour" that they keep running into has not a...[darn]thing to do with the ending. What is that?? Not to spoil it but there wasn't even a final battle!! Last but certainly not least, the side drama of the divorced parents coming together to find their son. Their constant squabbles and annoyance only make you want the dinosaurs to kill them. Or perhaps it was just me. The only truely likeable charater was Grant (Grant's assistant could mabye be considered one also, however he commits treason but later is redeemed.) The reason it did earn its one star for me was for good action sequences (expecailly the T-rex, Spinosaur battle) and some sporattic humor. Special effects were also a very big bright spot for this film, as can be vouched for by its past academy awards (the sequence of the baby Pranadons attacking Eric are fantastic). In conclusion, if you must go see it do not expect much. The action is good, as are the special effeects, the cast is as well, things just did not come together as well as they should have. I do believe Crichton himself would be dissapointed.

Summary: BAD!!
Review: I gave it one star, but it didn't even deserve that. The movie had no depth. Instead of having an introduction, rising action, climax, falling action, and a resolution, it went from introduction to resolution.

Summary: If you liked Mission: Impossible 2...
Review: then you'll probably like JP3. Why? Because MI2 didnt stay true to the original movie and went for all out James Bond action which ruined it. JP3 does the same thing and is nothing compared with the original...< JP3 starts out well enough, Grant is suckered into going on a rescue mission to Isla Sorna by a "wealthy couple" who miraculously manage to hire three expensive specialists to come because they own a small-town bathroom company and can no way pay Grant. After they land on the island, things start to go bad. Without ruining the already medicre plot, this movie is all about action, which sounds like a good idea but as JP2:LW proved, good ideas are usually met with poor execution by the filmwriters. The acting gets VERY cheesy through most of film, and the ending is laughable in its stupidity, which was the final nail in the coffin for this film. The Jurassic Park series is definetly descending downward. JP1 was the best by far, then JP2 which, was lame but watchable, to this, which is just plain terrible. Youll be real disapointed if you have to pay to see the film, I cant stress this enough!...

Summary: Forget the Lost World Jurassic Park 3 rules!
Review: First off let me say that this is a sequel! It does not take place before the lost world. If you have seen the film and listened to what Sam Neil says when he's giving his speech, then you know it's a sequel. With that aside this movie is wonderfully suspenseful. The spinosaurus is truely the new king of the jungle. This movie is right on scale with the first Jurassic Park. Definitely a thrilling sequel and worth the money!

Summary: Score 3 for Humans
Review: Although at different points throughout the flick I found myself a little bored, I felt very satisfied walking out of the theater, considering the ridiculous ticket prices in my town... The jokes were funny, the suspense made me nervous, and the surprises made me jump...so I would highly recommend this movie, especially to those who enjoyed the first 2 Jurassic Parks.

Summary: I would say a 4 1/2
Review: Ok, so Jurassic Park has come out yet again. The first thing I do (and reccomend you do) before i go to a sequel is to make sure I don't expect much from it, after all, many sequels have been hastily and sloppily done. But there's just something about Jurassic Park that draws people to the theatres. It's probably the most recent and realistic take on dinosaurs for any movie because the series shifts the style from godzilla style monsters destroying cities to basically wild animals from 65 million years ago. So, about the movie. I will admit, even though I'm a huge Jurassic Park fan, that the plot was a little sketchy so don't expect a dramatic story. The ending is very sudden and that's one thing i didn't enjoy about it (the story could have easily gone on to meet 2 hours). But the effects are just stunning. No recent "dinosaur" productions have ever captured the successes that the JP line has. Expect dino-fights and some characters fighting as well. If you loved the T-Rex is Jurassic Park and the Lost World, get ready to cry because it will be relinquishing the championship to the newcomer dinosaur, Spinosaurus. There are also sme nasty airborne dinos, the Pteranadons, that act as some nasty pests to Grant and his buddies. There were problems with this movie but I still liked it enough to give it 4 1/2 stars (since i can't pick that option on the rating) and my theatre actually started clapping at the end of the movie which movies seldom induce around here. In short, if you enjoyed Jurassic Park 1 & 2, like non-stop action, or just want to go see a movie to kill soem time, I would highly reccomend Jurassic Park 3.

Summary: jurassic judgement
Review: This is what it is all about. There is nothing more satisfing than dropping unprepared people on an island with something larger and more powerful than a T-Rex. Sam Neil tops his previous preformance as Dr. Alan Grant. The cameo by Laura Durn is worth the price of admission. The chemistry between these charaters is still something Hollywood needs more of. The effects are better than ever, and the story line is more plausable than The Lost World. Wiliam H Macy is funny as always in the psudo-strait man bit, his dead-pan delivery rivels that of Tommy Lee Jones in Men In Black.

Summary: A British Review
Review: I was dissapointed, I was told there would be new creatures and new effects. The new creatures looked very similar to the other ones, so it was nothing spetacular, the effects were just as good as in the lost world. The new famous actors they brought to this movie have trouble relateing to the dinosaws. They run away scared, but they are not terrified, like the people are in the 1st and 2nd movies. They just seem to have trouble believeing there real dinosaws. William H macy does a flawless job in his role untill they crash on the island, after that his acting is not as good, due to the lack of being frightened enough in the movie. I personally think that it is better than the Lost World, but very similar, because they are on a island, they were doing experiments there, everyone there, who was there is now dead etc... Except unlike the lost world this one has less story to it. At the begining parts caused me to jump but from about half way through to the end, it was just people running going ahhhh. As a dinosaw chased them, nothing new is in this film. Sam Niell does a flawless performance, however throughout the film he is always seems depressed. On the whole it is an ok movie, nothing special, just different. Its worth a watch, but I wouldn't buy it on video unless it was on sale in a box with the other 2 movies. There is lot of scenes with the veloceraptors, which have close up scenes with the birds. This is the first movie to get that close, they move in a realistic way. With this movie expect to be entertained, nothing more.
