Summary: ANOTHER SEQUEL, SAME OLD STORY
Review: At least they have Sam Neill in this one!

The only wonderful scene was when the flying pteraodon turned his head in full close-up at the humans. The special effects in that scene were amazing, looking so real.

Actually the flying pteraodons were the stars in this movie. However this movie left me wanting more. The plot was really no plot, the movie was short, basically it was throw some dinosaurs in, some screaming, a hero, [and a love story] and again Hollywood ruins it again.

Fun for rentable fare other than that 3 times is NOT a charm.

Summary: A steaming pile (...)
Review: It's amazing how time can alter your perception of things. When the Lost World (JPII) came out, it was generally viewed as a subpar sequel to the now-legendary Jurassic Park, for example. But viewed side-by-side next to the pointless JPIII, the Lost World is award-winning by comparison. And if my dinosaur-loving young son is any indication, the Lost World is actually a classic.

But JPIII... Ugh. It's a stinker. No plot. Insane, unbelievable events (example: A group of armed mercenaries is easily slaughtered on the dinosaur island, but a young boy is able to survive there, Rambo-like, for weeks. Yeah right). And far too little screen time for the dinosaurs.

If you took out all the baloney in this movie, you'd be left with about 15 minutes of exciting dinosaur footage. And that, friends, does not a good movie make. I hope the next JP--and you know there will be more--lives up more to the first two films than does this insult to fans.

That people are giving this movie 4 and 5 stars proves only one thing: We're too accepting of (...). Expect more, or you'll simply be served the same boring retreads, year and year.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: THE BEST OF THE SERIES
Review: It`s 2 bad that this film holds the number III behind its name... Because it is the best. Inventive, full of good humour and good acting. A N D special effects. It really should have been a sequel 2 the 93 blockbuster... THE LOST WORLD? There`s not enough sand 2 bury than one...
Alessandro Nivola`s Billy is good, but his part should have been built up...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Spit in the Face at True Jurassic Park fans.
Review: This was so bad. The Acting, The Special Effects, and The Story were all just horrible.

Let's Start with The Acting, that is really a real come down from the first two movies. Sam Neil is a great actor but in this movie, he is as bad as the material. He is no where as good as he was in the first film, and unfortunately he character was not that interesting in the first film anyway.( He should be ashamed of himself) William H Macy Is some what decent but he himself becomes Annoying after while. The true horror is Tea Leoni, who plays probably the most Annoying character ever conceived. You yourself would be cheering for the Dinosaurs to kill this woman.

The Special Effects are extremely dismal, Even for a Dinosaur film. At one point, The Spino Looks as big rubber puppet (Yes, that bad) and Changes Sizes through out the film. The Island itself looks like it was filmed in a Suburban park. It's nothing like the beauty and the savagery that was in The Lost World, and it's the same island.

The Story is probably the most offensive part of the whole movie. There is no logic or common sense to be found in this story. It does not even follow the first two movies, and it's a sequel .The characters are just too stupid for words, and their reasoning for being on the island has to be one of the worse ideas of the history of bad ideas. The end thou is really the most offensive ending ever made because it just ends. It's merciful considering how bad this movie was, but there is no climax. It just ends with out warning, and with out pity. Like the film makers were trying to spare us from the worse thing ever viewed on screen. If they wanted to be merciful, they should have never made this movie. A movie that Spits in the face of every thing that made the first two so great.

Not Even worth a rental.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jurassic Park III......A true blockbuster......:)
Review: Jurassic Park III is probably the 2nd best in the Jurassic Park Franchise. Still doesn't live up to it's original, but it works. This movie gets my adrenaline pumping and my heart racing. This movie is worth the bucks. I Reccomend this movie !!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pretty Good
Review: I'm not going to say a lot about this film, but it's great. I like it a little more than the first JP. The Lost World was just terrible. Anyway, see this movie, buy it, and enjoy it. They really made up for the sorry sequal.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great come back for Jurassic Park Series
Review: I was surprised at how short the movie was, but I enjoyed every minute of it. The plot isn't as good as the first two Jurassic Park movies, but it isn't weak either. I found Jurassic Park III quite funny at most parts, and I'm extremely happy that they brought Sam Neill back into the picture.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: I love Jurassic Park. The first one is one of the best movies. The 2nd...well, it needed some help...but over all was still worth getting and the 3rd....THE ONLY thing i did not love about this movie was the Spinosaurs. It did not have the realistic look like the other dinosaurs did. I was disapointed in it. But other than that it was great. I can't wait for the DVD boxed Trilogy to come out later in Dec. THAT is on my Christmas list.

To have Sam neil back in it was great. And they did a good job with all the other actors they picked...they did a good job together. You got to see alot more of different dinosaurs, which was great. I love the petradon house...(enormous bird cage). that whole scene was great. this movie made me jump once...I laughed....and watched twice in a row. The whole Jurassic park thing is great. I hope now that maybe the Jurassic park series might be over (which I hope not) that hollywood doesn't let the dinosuar thing die....it would be a shame.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The raptors rock
Review: I loved this edition of Jurassic Park. It was not as good as the first one because its not as groundbreaking. However it does go in a new direction unlike the second one which just copies the success of 2. With that said, bringing back Dr. Grant was a great idea. He's perfect for his part.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great sequel with some down points
Review: First off, I'll say that I spent about a year at Dan's JP3 Page, anxiously anticipating this film. I have always been a huge JP fan and believe it or not, I loved The Lost World. After the long period of waiting and speculating, July 18th came and I rushed to theaters. I sat in my seat, giddy as a schoolboy about the new addition to one of my two favorite series (along with Star Wars.) Was the waiting worth it? Was the movie even that good? Could Joe Johnston make a movie worthy of the name "Jurassic Park"?

After seeing JP3 for the first time, I said to myself "eh...it was pretty good." I thought it wasn't as good as the other two JPs, thought the plot was stupid, and missed the T-Rex.

I saw it again later. I LOVED IT AFTER THAT. When first watching this film, it is normal to expect something in perticular. What many fail to recognize is this:

JP3 was a fantastic movie for being a sequel.

Sure, it doesn't match to awe and wonder of Steven Speilbergs original masterpeice, but it was a great sequel. Everything in it was fresh: The new intelligent raptors, brand new characters, the Spinosaur, the pteranodons, the para-sailing. EVERYTHING WAS FRESH. I never expected it to lose all the things we had gotten so used to in the first 2 to be gone. Plus, it had a different mood, which I didn't expect.

JP3 was an excellent sequel. So many sequels are crap these days and JP3 was far better than that. Keep that in mind while your watching it on DVD instead of thinking about how it compares to the original. :D
