alindsay-al I always had the fear with jurassic Park 3 that this concept wasn't going to be able to hold up for too much longer and unfortunately this film proves that theory correct. The premise of the film sees a couple convince Dr Alan Grant to travel to the island from The Lost World with them. As mentioned, Sam Neil is back as Dr Alan Grant and he is easily the best part of this film, he has most of his charm and charisma still intact and you care about his character. The supporting cast though is just poor, first of all is the couple he travels with the Kirbys. These characters were so bland and dull adding nothing to this film, the film tries to make you care about them but you just don't because of how poorly they are written and acted. There is a character called Ben that also goes on the trip and he is just boring, he is basically a worse version of Vince Vaughans character from the previous film. Also if you came here to see Laura Dern again she is just a glorified cameo. The story is just one big excuse to get Alan Grant on an island so they can have a jurassic Park film. You don't care about the emotional stakes in the film or the motivations of the characters. Also the film takes some directions at the start that takes away from the previous films and hurts them too. The script has a blend of cheesy humour and uninspiring drama to help in making you not care about anybody really in the film. The style of the film does have some entertaining and tense scenes in it, but they are few and far between. Also the Dinosaurs look so much worse in this film then previously which ruined some of the more tense scenes in the film. This film amazingly is only an hour and a half but feels much longer, which clearly shows that there were some issues of pacing in this film. Overall this film is one to avoid, even if you are a big fan of the is franchise it isn't one you should look for.

hecoxjus This movie got so much hate when it came out. And I understand why. The inclusion of the Spinosaurus replacing the T-Rex, and the overall premise.I do agree that the plot is kind of weak. Alan Grant was swayed into going on the island way to easily, and I can't think of a reason why. However, every other dumb thing about this movie has a cannon explanation of some form. The first thing that people seem to hate about this movie was the Spinosaurus. It was supposedly way to overpowered, and many fans hated this movie from the moment the Spinosaurus killed the T-Rex. But there is an explanation. Actually, two. The scientific one is that back in 2001, that was an accurate design of a Spinosaurus, as the only remains of it that they had back then showed that it was in fact a super powerful killing machine. The cannon explanation was that the Spinosaurus was not a real Spinosaurus, rather an experimental hybrid with Spinosaurus DNA. That explains all the overpowered stuff that it did.And an element of the movie that typically gets forgotten is the raptors. They were perfected in this movie, and their design was amazing. They looked awesome, and were really smart, with their one flaw being that they didn't open doors. This was also the movie that introduced non-dinosaurs to the franchise, with the pterandon aviary scene. That was one of the best scenes in the movie, and really suspenseful.The deaths weren't as great as in the past two. Only a handful of people died, and all of them in roughly the first half. None of the deaths were as spectacular or creative as in the lost world, with the possible exception of Udesky, but they were still enjoyable. All in all, a great but underrated movie.

reidkuelz It's disappointing. What else is there to say? It sucks. It is way too short and if it was like over two hours it would have more potential.

anchoreddown This may be the lowest point in box office for the Jurassic Park franchise, however, in light of both reading up on the spinosaurus and watching several YouTube videos on the franchise, I'm coming to appreciate the work that went into the third Jurassic movie. First off, as most people have noted, this is not like the other three films. Yes, it may not have much of a scare tactic, but it all boils down to how well you know your dinosaurs. Go back to 2001. Research for undiscovered dinosaurs, like the spinosaurus was quite new and different. This animal was chosen for it's distinctive size, power and energy. The production team was looking for something larger than the T-Rex and the reason this dinosaur was chosen was for it's crocodile like snout, which makes it stand out next to it's cousins in the relative chain. Upono closer inspection, if you actually know something of the animal, it was more of an aquatic animal, and the research, as eluded to in the trivia section had the dinosaur standing on four to two legs, depending on your source material. Therefore, with this kind of information, you can get an idea of what's really going on behind the scenes for the storyline when it comes to actually breeding the animals. It's an obvious hybrid, even through it isn't stated in the film. I honestly don't think it was the studios intention to create a hybrid dinosaur. What we got is actually quite brilliant, it's a monster movie, but with a Jurassic Park twist. The fact that they chose to do it this way and leave the audience w questions until the next movie furthers the idea that the spinosaurus is a hybrid. Most people are probably looking at the animal and wishing it was a T-Rex, because that is the star of the franchise. Mot people probably didn't like it for several obvious reasons, but it's the dinosaurs that shine the most in this episode of the Jurassic Park franchise. Two thumbs up for doing something completely different!!
