Review: A Group Of Anti-terrorist forces are sent to eliminate some escaped flesh-eating carnosaurs in this predictable entry. features dumb dialogue, laughable acting but fans will sure enjoy this.

Summary: MY FUNNY VALENTINE
Review: Alright, just how many lemon sourballs did they have to give Scott Valentine to make him keep that Stallonish type sneer throughout the whole movie? In an obvious effort to shed his sitcom/family type roles, Valentine plays Rance like he just had two or three enemas and can't wait to get to the pottie. His performance is so ludicrously bad, he's enjoyable.
This third in the series was obviously tired, as they've never done the fourth. It' not grossly bad, just not as good as it could have been with a little more regard to plotting, pacing, and credibility. Janet Gunn tries to outdo Valentine in her role as the doctor determined to take the dinosaurs alive to study them and make unbelievable progress in curing diseases? Then halfway through the movie, she's a gun-toting soldier, obviously in heat with Valetnine, and she doesn't need her glasses either. Rick Dean's Polchek tries so hard for comic relief, but delivers his lines with such lethargy, you wonder what kept him propped up. Fortunately, Juliana Vail and Morgan Englund, as two marine grunts, give the picture some strength and credibility.
Roger Corman took over the helms of producer for this one, and his standard tacky touches are oh so evident.
It's a fun little movie in its own deranged way; the arm wrestling between Vail and Dean is so ridiculous, you can't help but laugh; here they are in the midst of killer dinosaurs and they want to show who's tougher, he or she.
Rent--don't buy, though.

Summary: Carnosaur 3 Primal Species
Review: As you can see by the shear quality of the cover of the video, you can see that as soon as you open it your in for a treat. After seeing the film my rib rage was in pain and I was crying with laughter. I am immpressed how far a buget of £200 can hire such good quality dinosaur suits, shame about the actors inside them. DON'T buy this movie if you want a horror film DO buy this movie if you want to wet yourself with laughter.

Rating: 1 stars

Summary: Not even worth a concious effert
Review: Dont waste your time on this one. The special effects are laughable, the cheesy commandos make Arnold Swartzonager look like a theatrical genious, and the plot-line is anything but the least bit complex. Very little suspense + horrible script + amateur effects = probably the worst dinasaur-related horror movie I've ever layed eyes on. Its really that simple. Don't buy it, don't rent it. . . just move on to the next movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: There is not a single redeeming feature to this movie...
Review: I bought this movie for one reason and one reason only: Billy Burnette. Thankfully I got it used for about $3.00..... although that's about $2.50 more than it's worth. The acting, special effects, and plot of this movie are so horribly bad they're past being even laughable. Instead, this movie is painful to watch and would make an excellent form of torture for your worst enemies. As I watched this movie, one thought kept repeating in my mind "Why would Billy Burnette agree to have his name associated with this trash?". And the only reasonable answer I could come up with is that it gave him the opportunity to again work with Rick Dean, with whom he starred in "Saturday Night Special". (Another really bad movie, but if compared to this one, it seems almost Oscar worthy.)Do yourself a favor, spend your money and time on something else.

Summary: It's movies like this that keep MST3K in business!!!
Review: In terms of cinematic quality, C3 makes Plan 9 from Outerspace look like Last Year at Marienbad. That's not why it gets 3 Stars. It gets 3 because it's so awful it's fun.

Scott Valentine gives it 273% as the leader of an elite, but ineffective, commando squad that must track down (but not kill) a bevy of genetically messed-up dinosaur-type thingies.

The sets have that "just spraypainted" look and the lighting is brilliantly used to reveal uninteresting scenes while obscuring others which could be important (I'm guessing, of course).

The C3 beasts are the "puppet/man in dino suit" type; despite this, they aren't badly done. The afore-mentioned lighting and talon-sharp editing help pass them off as mildly daunting.

The acting over all, is just this side of atrocious, but everyone looks very nice and seems to be trying very hard, so I wish for them that this is the last Carnosaur film, at least that they'll have to appear in.
