George Taylor No, Dinosaurus! isn't a great movie. Not in any sense of the word. But, unlike many of the snoozefest B's made today, it's a fun movie. It's definitely directed at kids, since it has a friendly neanderthal, a friendly brontosaurus (who the caveman and a kid ride on) and a nasty Allosaurus. On an island in the Caribbean, a lightning strike brings these three back from suspended animation, where havoc ensues. As I said, not great, but engaging and fun.

O2D This movie was totally ridiculous yet somehow still good. For reasons never explained, people are blowing up the shoreline of a island that never gets named.Then a woman(who we later find out is the girlfriend of the foreman) comes into the harbor in a row boat. She was out in the ocean in this tiny thing "getting food" and decided to just sail right into the blasting zone. There's lots of white people failing miserably at attempting Hispanic accents, one even sounds french. The real question is why would Pacific islanders have Hispanic accents? So anyway, the blasting uncovers two perfectly preserved dinosaurs. Somehow a brontosaurus and a T-Rex died right next to each other and never decayed. So they drag the dinosaurs onto the beach, ask the town drunk to watch them, and then leave. Oh did i mention the island has an "island manager" and he's evil? And he's not even really in charge, the island governor is but he's away. And of course the manager has some little boy who is not his son that he is raising. The manager finds a caveman because that makes perfect sense.Then a lightning bolt splits in two and hits both dinosaurs and they come back to life. Somehow the caveman comes to life and then we are forced to watch him figure out the hi-tech life of a 1950's third world country, for a long time. Luckily the caveman knows all about dinosaurs and can ride them, probably because they didn't exist at the same time. The story makes no sense(What is the Dinosaurus??) but it's not terrible. Give it a shot.

BA_Harrison Whilst building a harbour on a Caribbean island, construction workers discover two perfectly preserved dinosaurs—a brontosaurus and a T-Rex—frozen under the sea for millions of years. After being brought ashore, the prehistoric creatures thaw out and are struck by lightning during a storm, bringing them back to life. As the beasts wander the island, looking for food, construction boss Bart Thompson (Ward Ramsey) tries to ensure the safety of the islanders. Meanwhile, a neanderthal (Gregg Martell), who has also emerged from the ocean, befriends local boy Julio (Alan Roberts) and protects him from his wicked guardian Hacker (Fred Engelberg).Dinosaurus! is the one in which the 'cute' kid (ie., thoroughly irritating brat) and the caveman ride on the back of the brontosaurus, putting the audience squarely in family territory—good clean fun with very little to seriously scare the young 'uns. The juvenile nature of the film, along with some naff neanderthal-based comedy, make it just a little too cloying at times, but as a fan of dinosaur movies in general, and especially those that make use of stop motion animation, I couldn't help but be entertained. Yes, the animation is a long way from Harryhausen standard, and there's some even worse puppetry, but it still proves to be a reasonably decent dose of mindless fun. Of course, it doesn't hurt that the film also features two helpings of eye candy—tasty blonde Betty (Kristina Hanson) and dusky island beauty Chica (Lucita Blain)—to hold one's attention whenever the dinos are off-screen.

Michael Hall Honestly, 4.4/10?!? It wasn't that bad! I haven't seen this film in awhile and I decided to watch in again today.Its a pretty good film for its time.Sure, the acting is a little cheesy, but its a great movie! Ahh, yes, IMDb's plot for the movie. ''...After undersea explosions near a Caribbean island, prehistoric creatures are unleashed on the unsuspecting population. Freed from his watery tomb, as well, is a very friendly Neanderthal man who proceeds to befriend a local orphan boy. The boy, Neanderthal and irritated dinosaur make for an interesting dramatic climax.'' Couldn't explain the plot any better.The Neanderthal man who has also come back along with the dinosaurs, is actually a caveman! He can give you a good laugh every once in awhile.He is just hilarious.This is an awesome movie to pop in the VCR and watch on a Saturday night.You should really check it out if you're a into dinosaurs, like I am.10/10!
