Surpassing expectations to qualify as an above-average sequel, Jurassic Park III is nothing more or less than a satisfying popcorn adventure. A little cheesier than the first two Jurassic blockbusters, it's a big B movie with big B-list stars (including Laura Dern, briefly reprising her Jurassic Park role), and eight years of advancing computer-generated-image technology give it a sharp edge over its predecessors. While adopting the jungle spirit of King Kong, the movie refines Michael Crichton's original premise, and its dinosaurs are even more realistic, their behavior more detailed, and their variety--including flying pteranodons and a new villain, the spinosaurus--more dazzling and threatening than ever. These advancements justify the sequel, and its contrived plot is just clever enough to span 90 minutes without wearing out its welcome.
Posing as wealthy tourists, an adventurous couple (William H. Macy, Téa Leoni) convince paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and his protégé (Allesandro Nivola) to act as tour guides on a flyover trip to Isla Sorna, the ill-fated "Site B" where all hell broke loose in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. In truth, they're on a search-and-rescue mission to find their missing son (Trevor Morgan), and their plane crash is just the first of several enjoyably suspenseful sequences. Director Joe Johnston (October Sky) embraces the formulaic plot as a series of atmospheric set pieces, placing new and familiar dinosaurs in misty rainforests, fiery lakes, and mysterious valleys, turning JP3 into a thrill ride with impressive highlights (including a T. rex versus spinosaurus smack-down), adequate doses of wry humor (from the cowriters of Election), and an upbeat ending that's corny but appropriate, proving that the symptoms of sequelitis needn't be fatal. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - As good as you could expect!
This is my favorite of the Jurassic Park movies, which is unusual in that it is a sequel.
Great story line, great acting and believable characters with enough depth to keep you involved and in suspense... and the dinos are excellently done.
Spinosaurus is of course hands down the star of the show, and perhaps I'm a bit biased since its just a really cool animal to watch.
I'll give it five stars although I do have to wonder why this poor Spino animal is so bound and determined ... Read More

Rating: - Much Better Than Its Reputation; Short & Fun
This final episode in the Jurassic series did not deserve all the bad reviews it got when it was released. In fact, it was a lot more enjoyable than the stupid second JP. Did it equal the first? No, of course not. The original story was easily the best of the three, but I found this an enjoyable movie and far better than what I had been led to believe.
The filmmakers were smart in making this a short film. People had seen plenty of the dinosaurs by now so let's no overdo it...and they didn't with ... Read More

- A Worthy Sequel To Jurassic Park
Unlike the first sequel, which I prefer to call 'Jurassic Farce', the third installment in the Dino-Thriller Series actually earns the right to call itself 'Jurassic Park'.
Tight pacing and a few new dino's keep this film exciting even if some of the story is tad preposterous. The T-Rex and the Raptors return to menace Grant and his new friends but the real star of the show is an even bigger badder 'meat-a-saurus' with a name I can't pronounce.
Fans of the books will recognize some elements ... Read More
