Summary: A Short, OK, Monster Moive
Review: I had pretty low expectations going in for Jurassic Park III and for the most part they were pretty closely met. The film has a very thin plot, no character development, and absolutely no "magic". In the first Jurassic Park movie, I really enjoyed the feelings of wonder and discovery. Sure the dino-chase scenes were cool, but only as an adjunct to the voyage through the world of the dinosaurs. In Jurassic Park III all we get are chase scenes and instead of wonder and discovery we get one big monster movie. But really, there's nothing wrong with a monster movie. And on that level there are some pretty interesting monsters in Jurassic Park III who look pretty good on screen. The action is non-stop, and happily the characters don't repeatedly comment on their grave situation (as they did over and over in The Lost World: Jurassic Park II). Unfortunately, there really isn't a climax in Jurassic Park III - no final battle or triumph, something truly essential to a good monster movie. It's hard to come out of Jurassic Park III and recommend the film. Clocking just over 90 min., Jurassic Park III ends up being one big, short-feeling, monster movie without a pay off.

Summary: Oh, how the mighty (T-Rex, to be exact) have fallen!!!
Review: It appears that the dreaded "sequelitis" has hit the "suits" at Universal. This sad excuse for a return visit to the island of the dinosaurs is too short, too dumb, and too loud. How actors Neill, Macy, and even Michael Jeter would get involved in such mishmash eludes me! A better "dino-drama" would be "One Million Years B.C." starring Raquel Welch. Sure, man and dinosaurs never actually shared the same time period, but boy, was that movie ever fun. Something that "JP3" is not!

Summary: Almost as good as the first one
Review: This was a great movie but it was to short. I love the new dinos, the spinosaurus,petradon,ankylosaurus,allasaururus,the rest are all from the previous movies.This was a very exciteing movie and alot better then the Lost World, but not as good as the first one.The ending did leave you sitting there wondering what next, but over all it was a good movie. I like the dinosaus the best in this one, because of how real they look.The only bad thing about the dinos is that they only have the T-rex in one scene. The other thing is how short it is. I think it was way to short, I mean the other two were at least 2 hours and this one is 97 minutes. I really like how they use the petradons,they are so cool.The velociraptors are still my favorites though. I love how they added all this almost human communication to the raptors. The T-rex is feircly underusded and about as bad as a brachiasaur compared to the spinosaurus. They only brought Ellie in for a grand total of about 10 minutes but they did give Allen a good reprising role.They could have told what happened to Lex, Tim,and Hammond but I guess they didn't want to.They should have brought back allen or Ellie in the Lost World and it would have been better.The plot isnt to great but its great fun.They will probubly come out with a fourth but it probubly wont be as good. This movie is definatly worth the time and money.

Summary: Goes Great with Popcorn...
Review: There are lots of *great* summer blockbuster movies out this month. If you are short on cash, you might want to skip this movie and just wait for it when it comes out in video. William Macy and Sam Neill gave excellent performances. Their presence was the film's only saving grace. The special effects and computer animation were ok, but there were definitely some parts of the movie where you could tell they were using miniatures and models. It was just *too* obvious! Nothing beats the first movie. Let's face it, a sequel off of a sequel is a recipe for disappointment! JP III is not as bad as Lost World, but it's so close they might as well be considered equal. The ending was predictable within the first 15 minutes of the film. If you insist on watching this film, then don't expect too much. Like any B movie, there are plenty of laughs in the weak storyline and the cheesy special effects. Think of JP III as one big comedy, and you will get more out of your money that way!

Summary: Be Warned Barney
Review: Jurrasic Park 3, really brings the dinosaurs back to life. With its amazing special affects and famous Holloywood actors, this is one to see. Being a PG i would think carefully about taking your kiddies to see this monster of a film. I was on the edge of my seat as the film started off good and ended up as the best Jurrasic Park yet.

Summary: A Trip Back to Isla Sorna
Review: As in The Lost World, this movie takes place at the Isla Sorna. Instead of Goldblum, JP3 brings back Sam Neill as the slightly grizzled Dr. Alan Grant who seems happy to put his terrifying up-close dino experiences behind him. But running out of funding and an offer of "What would it take to get you to be our guide", has him heading back to monster island. The plot is a little thin, how 14 year old Eric Kirby (Trevor Morgan's first stint with dinosaurs was Barney's Great Adventure), could survive 2 months alone on an island of man eaters is a mystery , but the dinosaurs are phenomenal. The computer generated or mechanical creatures are so life-like,(although one of the dino fight scenes looks like a remake of something out of One Million, B.C.), you can almost buy into the illusion that they are real. Throw in a little comic relief at the right moments, JP3 is an exciting, enjoyable way to spend about 90 minutes this summer.

Summary: It wasn't ALL that bad
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the first movie, it was dark and violent and set up just how it was the dinosaurs were created. The second one didn't know quite what it was supposed to be: it had some dark parts, some violent parts and then some absolutely dumb and silly parts (the entire San Diego sequence.) The one thing that the first two movies had that this one didn't was the feeling of an event movie. JP3, take away the outstanding visual effects, had the feel of a backyard movie gone horribly wrong, not an event film. Alan Grant (Neill) gets propositioned basically in the exact same way by Paul Kirby (Macy) that John Hammond did in the first one. Grant's research team in Montana is running low on funding, on the verge of termination when the mysterious benefactor comes along asking for a tour of the island and in return the team will be funded indefinitely. So Grant goes, not realizing just exactly what he's being asked to do, and then havoc erupts. The rest of the movie is about their attempt to escape the island alive ... and so on and so forth. And like The Lost World, a team member takes something that the dinosaurs want back ... The entire movie is formulaic, digging up horror, thriller and action cliches backed with impressive effects, but little else. And like The Lost World, the ending is a little bit silly as well. I wanted to like this movie, I really did. I've enjoyed the Jurassic Park franchise in both film and novel form. Maybe this film could have been saved if Spielberg himself directed. Maybe he could have found some terrific improvisational moments like the ones in Private Ryan, but unfortunately we are left with this entertaining, yet disappointing movie.

Summary: Too short but still fun despite minor flaws.
Review: This movie though only 95 minutes long it still is a rather exciting 95 minutes but it does have a few problems with the close up shots of the new dinosaur.Probably the thing I find most depressing about this film is the fact that they bring all sorts of great ideas about the raptors and then they end the movie.I sure hope this one does well so they can make a fourth and they can build on all these ideas about the raptors and the big new dinosaur.
