Summary: Beats Lost World, falls short of film greatness
Review: Jurassic Park was a movie that astounded millions with its original plot, groundbreaking special effects and heart-pounding screenplay. The Lost World broke that mold with unrealistic acting and a poor excuse to return to Jurassic Park. This, the third installment in the Jurassic Park series, does much better than Lost World, but fails to bring back the same feel of the original.To start out with, the film is far too predictable. Of COURSE ***SPOILER*** Billy took the eggs, Of COURSE Billy wasn't really dead. ***END SPOILER*** These things were far too easy to call in the course of the movie. The scares are sometimes predictable (raptor in glass tube) but are mostly genuine. All in all, they're fun. The acting is superb on the part of William H. Macy, T`ea Leoni, and Sam Neill. Trevor Morgan seems plastic at times, but generally, plays a brave lost boy genuinely. Of course its good to see Alan Grant back, and apparently the cast thinks so as well, as they all seem to flock to him constantly throughout the flick. See this movie if you liked Jurassic Park. It's a fun action movie with maybe too many prequel references and predictable suprises, but its the second sequel in an action genre- what do you expect?

Summary: Better than most titles followed by a big bloody three!
Review: After seeing The Lost World, I wasn't terribly enthusiastic about seeing Jurassic Park III when I heard it was coming out. Regardless, I saw it the night it opened, and I have to say it was a good deal better than the previous installment. It served its purpose as a sequel and a summer movie, without being sloppy and tedious. I was very glad to see that Sam Neil had returned as Alan Grant. His presence was sorely missed in The Lost World. Many dinosaurs also returned, in addition to some new ones. The spinosaurus being the most notable. Its grand entrance was nothing short of spectacular, and the fight between it and the T-Rex memorable to say the least. As much as I enjoyed seeing all the familiar faces, its too bad there weren't any familiar sites. I had hoped this movie's story would center around the island Isla Nublar, where the first Jurassic Park had taken place. It would've been nice to see that towering wooden Jurassic Park doorway again, or the visitor center, or even the raptor pen. And what ever happened to the Dilophosaurus'? When I walked through a department store, and saw that particular dinosaur figure in a box with the new JP3 logo, I naturally assumed they'd make an appearance in the movie. But they didn't Oh, well. Maybe next time. Anyway, I thought this movie was great none the less. It offered more dinosaurs, more of the original cast, great action sequences, and it managed to stay under two hours. After seeing this, I actually look forward to the next Jurassic Park movie. And another thing. Many people have said that this movie is actually a prequel to The Lost World. That's not true. You find that out less than ten minutes into the movie, when Alan Grant refers to the San Diego incident during his lecture.

Summary: A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
Review: Don't go see this. It was a waste of my time, money, and a saturday evening. You have been warned. Unfortunely for me, I was not warned prior to seeing this. STAY AWAY! The plot is really bad. Bad Bad Bad!

Summary: Big on chase scenes, short on plot
Review: ...Lots of very predictable sci-fi horror (it's rated PG-13 for that) and a short 80 minutes of running away from the big bad monsters. Good fun for adrenaline junkies, but I prefer a tad more plot... very disappointing.

Summary: ... feels like a direct to video movie/TV movie
Review: In this third sequel(which is as bad the second movie). The story was dumb, the special effects were decent . Overall this movie was pathetic sequel which at time felt like a direct to video movie or a made for TV movie. The acting was Ok. Catch this movie at your cheap movie theater or wait for the DVD/videotape when it comes out. I wonder if this movie has any delated scenes which might of made this movie a lot better?Or better yet watch the orginal "Jurassic Park" instead.

Summary: What the hell happened?
Review: I saw this movie a couple of days ago and I didn't really like it. Whatever happened to the T-Rex and why the hell did Dr. Grant dreamed of a dinosaur talking? What also happened to the other actors like Jeff Goldblum and Richard Attenborough? This movie is so dumb that it's not even action! It had a horrible plot and it had a bad ending. They could have done something better to make it look like the other two and it wasn't even a sequel. It seemed more like a new dinosaur movie. I think my favorite JP movie has to be the first one because it's the way it meant to be. The best thing about this movie is to see Sam Neil and Laura Dern return. Well, do not go waste your money on this it's stupid. Stick with one and two.

Summary: In the Jurassic Park tradition
Review: This movie was pretty cool, despite some elements like the "happy family survives and the expert militars die", or the JUMANJI-style boy who survives for 8 weeks...8 WEEKS! in an island full of dinosaurs.(Oh by the way, the movie was directed by Jumanji's director, not Spielberg, yet he did a great job.) I also think that the dinosaurs theme is something that doesn't impress people who saw the first two films (although I think this one is better that THE LOST WORLD) Some stuff, on the other side, are really really cool, like the new dinos (the spinosaurus was great, but some more T-rex would have been better), the pteranodons (or the flying guys) and the new and improved raptors (how did they get all those stripes and "feathers"?) Yet, this one is a must have for every JP fan...I can hardly wait to get in on my DVD collection (the sounds seem to be much better than the previous ones!)

Summary: Could it be worse?!
Review: I went to this movie really wanting it to be good but not expecting much...I should have expected less! It was just terrible and cheesy. At one point, after getting chased by a dinosaur, William H. Macy's character started talking about missing fishing. My friend "responded" to him by saying how much he missed good movies! I just have to say that scene was pointless and had nothing to do with the "plot" (which, by the way was nonexistant). Another thing that befuddled me was when Sam Niell fell asleep on the plane and dreamed that a raptor was talking to him. I actually laughed out loud (not the only time during this movie)! As for the dinos, some of them looked great but an equal number of them looked faker than anything I'd ever seen in a movie. The only way to enjoy this film, if I can even call it that, is to go with a big group of friends so you can all make fun of it together. P.S. Go to a matinee if you must see it!

Summary: Much better than I expected.
Review: When I heard there was going to be a Jurassic Park III, I thought it would suck. The ending to "The Lost World" was a great way to end the series. So I figured it would suck and give Jurassic Park a bad name. I was wrong. This one had the most action and was the most intense one in the series. I would give it 5 stars,but you just can't compare it to to the previous two. I was real glad to see Sam Neil return as Dr. Grant. He may not be the most popular actor, but he's a good one. The special effects were great as usual. "The Lost World's" visuals weren't a whole lot better than the first one, but you can tell a significant difference in Jurassic Park III. The dino's are more detailed and relistic looking than the other two movies. The music on the other hand wasn't as good. John Williams didn't conduct the score for this one, so the music didn't quite have the same touch as the other two. Of course the movie had it's cheesy parts. For one example, the ending when the army and Navy showed up to rescue them. It was to unrelistic. The movie is still great though. It's a great conclusion and ending to a wonderful movie series.
Rating:
Summary: Just terrible.
Review: The dinosaurs still look great, but everything else is horrible. Sam Neill's talent is wasted due to dumb writing and a nonexistant storyline. The film is packed with action scenes, but nothing we've never seen before. It's also way too short. If you're looking for a much better summer movie, see Planet of the Apes.
