Jurassic Park
Steven Spielberg's 1993 mega-hit rivals Jaws as the most intense and frightening film he'd ever made prior to Schindler's List, but it was also among his weakest stories. Based on Michael Crichton's novel about an island amusement park populated by cloned dinosaurs, the film works best as a thrill ride with none of the interesting human dynamics of Spielberg's Jaws. That lapse proves unfortunate, but there's no shortage of raw terror as a rampaging T-rex and nasty raptors try to make fast food out of the cast. The effects are still astonishing (despite the fact that the computer-generated technology has since been improved upon) and at times primeval, such as the sight of a herd of whatever-they-are scampering through a valley. --Tom Keogh

The Lost World - Jurassic Park
In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctantly agrees to go to another island where cloned dinosaurs are roaming freely. Along with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and daughter, Malcolm has to deal with hunters, environmentalists, and corporate swine who stupidly bring back a big dino to Southern California, where it runs amok, of course. Spielberg doesn't seem to care that the pieces of this project don't add up to a real movie, so he hams it up with big, scary moments (with none of the artfulness of those in Jurassic Park) and smart-aleck visual gags (a yapping dog in a suburb mysteriously disappears when a hungry T-rex stomps by). A complete bust.--Tom Keogh

Jurassic Park III
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

5 out of 5 stars For Jurassic Park Lovers.......2007-08-26

All three movies in one convenient box! I purchased this set to replace my combination of VHS and DVD singles that made up my personal copies. The prints are excellent and well worth the price and convenience of having them as a stand alone set.

4 out of 5 stars An All Time favourite!!!.......2007-08-24

Well, Well, Well!!! Jurassic Park 1,2 & 3. I have saw all of these movies on numerous occassions, however I decided to buy the boxset so I may watch them at my leisure. Jurassic Park ( all 3) deserve a 5star rating but I have a reason for giving them a 4star in this review which I will explain in a moment. Jurassic Park is the result of a brilliant mind combined with modern day technology and special effects. Its results are realistic dinosaurs in modern day and mans ability to get up close and personal with these critters. Tricerotops, brachiosaurs, T-Rex and an even more dangerous dinosaur than T-Rex whose name escapes me appears in the third. An ingenious idea of re-awakening a long extinct species comes true which I believe may have formed the basis of many a youngsters dream! In fact, it is the youngsters that cause me to give this review a 4star. The movies are geared towards all ages. What is needed is a realistic approach to what a dinosaur would do when the kids are NOT watching. Please, Please, Please make a Jurassic Park with an over 18's certificate. I bet the two kids would not escape the kitchen with the 3 raptors if it were for viewing only by an older audience!!! Even though such a movie may only exist in my dreams, for now JP 1,2&3 still amaze me. Thank you Stephen Spielberg, I cant wait to see what you come up with next!!!

5 out of 5 stars Dino-tastic!!!.......2007-08-11

These movies let us live out the fantasy that dinosaurs still roam the earth. Special effects, storyline and creativeness of the director/writer is most enjoyable. Recommend to all prehistoric reptile lovers. Acting is a bit strained and characters could have been developed more. It's like most of the attention to detail was on the dino's and special effects and actors were thrown in as backdrop/afterthought.

5 out of 5 stars Movie review.......2007-08-10

I am so happy I got this. It is a great deal for I love these movies

4 out of 5 stars A LIFETIME WORTH'S OF DINASOURS.......2007-07-31

The first film here is the real wonder of the trilogy. Up to 1993 we simply hadn't seen anything special effects like those before, mix that with Spielberg's hability for suspense and you have yourself a classic. To me Jurassic Park has aged pretty well even though we've seen so many CGI movies since it first came out, perhaps many more than we would have wanted to.
"Lost World" is a mixed bag, most of the excesive human characters range from mediocre (the leads) to plain indifferent (the villains) and they really kill the film despite (again) great and improved special effects. I absolutely hated the "rich people are all bad " and "child in jeopardy" routines and found the gymanstics vs. raptors scene the worst thing Spielberg has done/will ever do in his life. Also, after a while of the raptors missing the heros you start to doubt if they're really motivated on getting them or keep on "just missing" them. Ad a first half hour when absolutely nothing relevant occurs and you get the idea what kind of sequel this is. Perhaps the problem is what Spielberg claims in the "making of" regarding the movie being born out of "popular demand", in other words, simply money.
I liked the third movie a lot more than I expected even though the raptors keep on miraculosly missing the leads. At the end of the movie you come to realize Sam Neil is a lot more capable on carrying this kind of movie by himself than Jeff Goldblum
I recently read they'r gearing up for Jurassic Park IV for 2008, personally after this trilogy and the new King Kong I feel I've had plenty of dinasours for a lifetime.

Product Description

Multimillionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has a plan for a spectacular new theme park: a secluded island where visitors can observe actual dinosaurs. With the latest development in DNA technology, scientists can clone brachiosaurs, tricerotops, velociraptors, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex, using the blood preserved in amber from insects that bit the dinosaurs long ago. Paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are duly impressed with the living results during an advance visit. But when a devious employee tampers with the sophisticated security system, the dinosaurs escape, forcing the visitors to fight for their very survival.

3 out of 5 stars Dinosaurs save this.......2007-08-16

Overall, I thought this was a pretty good movie, despite not being as good as the book. There were a few things that irritated me about this.
1. The preachiness of the of the "experts" in declaring that the park is bound to fail. That they were tampering with things they shouldn't and it would blow up in their faces. Well, sure, things blew up in their faces, but solely because Nedry shut down all the security that kept the dinosaurs locked in. There is nothing in the movie to suggest (other than the in your face sermons) that the park would have failed otherwise.

2. The second, and bigger, problem I had was the fact that ALL the technical personnel are sent home on the day they are running their first trial run! Who does that?!? It wasn't even optional. They were ordered to leave. I'd imagine that if I ran a place like that, I'd ALWAYS want a support staff on hand, even when the park's closed, and most certainly when I'm sending people through it.

4 out of 5 stars "Remind Me to Thank John for a Lovely Weekend".......2007-08-03

John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has come up with the most incredible idea for a theme park yet. He has found a way to clone dinosaurs. He's thought of all the controls to keep the population in check and the dangerous ones under control.

Unfortunately, his investors aren't sure that the park is safe. So, before he can open it, he has to bring in dinosaur experts Alan Grant and Ellie Sattler (Sam Neill and Laura Dern) and chaos theorist Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) to sign off on the park.

The three are admittedly impressed by what they see, especially Alan and Ellie. But the wonder soon turns to horror when security goes down, freeing the creatures. Suddenly, the group finds themselves stranded on an island in a storm fighting to survive these creatures from the past. Will any of them make it off the island alive?

This movie was one of the first to use computer effects, and it revolutionized the industry. Frankly, these effects still hold up even today. You'll really believe that these people are interacting with the dinosaurs.

The biggest weakness is the story. It starts out very slowly while the science is explained. There's lots of talking in the first hour. Once the dinosaurs get loose, the movie kicks into high gear and becomes an edge of your seat thrill ride. It doesn't matter how many times I've seen it, I still get knots in my stomach during most of these scenes. Unfortunately, the climax is again weaker then it could have been.

I have never understood why this movie was marketed at kids with fast food tie-ins and action figures. This isn't a kid's film. It's downright scary for at least half the length.

Despite the weaknesses in the story, this is still a well deserved classic. If you haven't seen it, you're in for a heart pumping thrill ride.

5 out of 5 stars Spectacular Movie and Extra Features.......2007-07-29

This is a great DVD for the Jurassic Park fans. In the first place, you get the movie in its original wide-screen format. What makes it really rock is the bonus footage, including a couple of very well-filmed and informative episodes on the making of Jurassic Park. I had almost as much fun watching these documentaries as I did the feature movie itself.

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

Product Description

Adventure runs wild when renowned palentologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neil) agrees to accompany a wealthy adventurer (William H. Macy) and his wife (Tea Leoni) on an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, InGen's former breeding ground for prehistoric creatures. But when they're terrifyingly stranded, Dr. Grant discovers that his hosts are not what they seem, and the island's native inhabitants are smarter, faster, fiercer and more brutal than he ever imagined in this heart-stomping thriller.

5 out of 5 stars awsome.......2007-06-10

1 out of 5 stars Worst Movie I Ever Saw!!.......2007-05-31

Dont buy this movie!!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Jurassic Park 3 Takes a Bite .......2007-05-16

Jurassic Park 3 Takes a Bite
Released: 2001
Rated: PG-13

Picture two people a child and an adult parasailed and the boat driver magically disappeared into the fog. The people glide onto a mysterious island. Will they ever get off the island? Where did the boat driver go? This is best movie I have ever seen you should watch it too.

Then dinosaurs look so real. At some parts in this movie these dinosaurs look like they are coming right out of the TV screen.
This movie has a book to it and it is almost just like the movie. I have also read the book. This book was so good that I told every one that they should read it too. This movie is so good that I had to watch it more than once. I ended up watching this movie at the least seven times.

This movie is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my entire life. I recommend this movie to children thirteen and over because children under the age might get scared of the huge dangerous dinosaurs.
If you were on the island what you think you would see and if you were in this situation would you be scared.

4 out of 5 stars A much better sequel.......2007-03-26

I am a big fan of the original film, Jurassic Park, but found the first sequel, Jurassic Park: The Lost World to be poorly developed character- and plot-wise, with too much reliance on action and special effects. I was so disappointed with my first viewing of the first sequel, that I did not see it again for years, and did not see the third movie, Jurassic III, until very recently, when I bought the DVD version of the trilogy.

In Jurassic III, paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) has vowed to never set foot on Isla Sorna, the island near Costa Rica where InGen, a company owned by wealthy entrepreneur John Hammond, had staff use genetic engineering and DNA harvested from blood extracted from fossilized mosquitoes to clone dinosaurs and raise them. The dinosaurs were to be exhibited on nearby Isla Nublar, in the ultimate theme park, Jurassic Park, with the disastrous results shown in the first installment of the trilogy. After the debacle on Isla Nublar, InGen abandoned both islands, and they were quarantined, until the dinosaurs could die off. But, the dinosaurs flourished.

Now, an apparently rich, divorced couple has talked Dr. Grant into being their guide for an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, but they have a hidden agenda. I don't see this as a spoiler, as it is one of the first scenes in the movie: a man (the divorced woman's boyfriend) and a boy (the son of the divorcees) are stranded on Isla Sorna, after a parasailing trip goes badly. The divorced couple (William H. Macy and Tea Leoni) really want to rescue their son (Trevor Morgan) from Isla Sorna, with the help of Dr. Grant and his assistant (Alessandro Nivola), who do not know they are on a rescue mission, and Michael Jeter and his crew. Of course, the dinosaurs do not appreciate the intrusion, and see the humans as good snacking material.

The dinosaurs: Three dinosaur species were big attractions in this movie. A new "super-predator," Spinosaurus, was introduced, and it was bigger and meaner than Tyrannosaurus rex. A section of the island was set aside for pteronodons, and they were very interesting. And, of course, the Velociraptors were a big part of the film, with the premise being that, had the Earth not experienced a meteor-triggered climatic cataclysm, the Velociraptors might have ended up as the globe's dominant species. The theme of their communication skills was well-done and very interesting, and the portrayal of the animals has been updated, to match recent theories, by having them sport crests of primitive proto-feathers. One of the DVD's special features was a "dinosaur turntable," wherein the different species were presented as monochromatic three-dimensional models revolving on a platform, full-color models revolving in a real-life scene, and computerized models showing their locomotion. This educational feature was great, but could have been expanded, to include information on hunting, feeding, and social interaction facts, to the extent those are known.

Special effects: Amazing. Truly amazing. The movements of all the different animals are done very well, look natural (Right! As if I know how a Spinosaurus should move!), and blend very well with the real aspects of the scenes (like people and trees). The battles between the Spinosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus rex is amazing to watch and, in some bizarre way, I found myself sad about the outcome, which just points out how realistic these beasties seemed to me. The pterosaurs, in their odd manner of walking and graceful flight, were quite credible, and their final scene, reminiscent of the closing scene of Jurassic Park with the pelicans, was loaded with portent, suggesting that, if there ever were a Jurassic IV, it might portray a world where humanity was trying to keep itself off of the Endangered Species list.

The intangibles: Jurassic Park showed us some moments of movie magic, most notably the wonder of Drs. Grant and Sattler seeing the brachiosaurs for the first time, and realizing how their world had just turned upside-down, plus the primitive, terrifying glory of the triumphant Tyrannosaurus rex near the end, as she inescapably declared the world to belong to her. The Lost World had none of that wonder, charm, or emotional power.

What about Jurassic III? Trevor Morgan, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni, and Allesandro Nivola helped Sam Neill restore an element of human emotion and connectivity to the film, and the idea that the Velociraptors were even more advanced than previously thought, added an element of both terror and wonder (as in "I wonder what life will be like now?") to the story. This third installment in the series did not have as much emotional impact as did the original, but it came close enough to call it a worthy sequel.

Pros: Action, special effects, pterosaurs, a real story

Cons: It still lacks some of the wonder of the first film.

The Bottom Line: This is a better sequel to Jurassic Park than was The Lost World, with more story, better acting, and just as much action and great special effects.

Recommended: Yes

5 out of 5 stars This one is my favorite.......2007-01-29

Let's be honest, after "The Lost World" did anyone have high hopes for the third installment? I certainly didn't. I came late to the Jurassic Park movies, only seeing them a few years ago, so I don't have any real attachment to the first movie. I enjoyed it but I couldn't stand the child actors and enough with the Chaos Theory, Jeff Goldbum. For me, number three was the best. It was fun and entertaining. Don't get my wrong, I understand why the Emmys overlooked this movie. However, I thought that the actors were good; the story was well thought out and it was overall an enjoyable, exciting movie. Don't get caught up comparing it to the original, because odds are you like that one best. Feel free to compare it to the "The Lost World," because odds are you don't like that better... than anything. In closing, let me say this: "Jurassic Park III" is worth your time and money and at the very least it will get the horrible taste that is "The Lost World" out of your mouth.

In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctantly agrees to go to another island where cloned dinosaurs are roaming freely. Along with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and daughter, Malcolm has to deal with hunters, environmentalists, and corporate swine who stupidly bring back a big dino to Southern California, where it runs amok, of course. Spielberg doesn't seem to care that the pieces of this project don't add up to a real movie, so he hams it up with big, scary moments (with none of the artfulness of those in Jurassic Park) and smart-aleck visual gags (a yapping dog in a suburb mysteriously disappears when a hungry T-rex stomps by). A complete bust. --Tom Keogh

1 out of 5 stars Aweful.......2007-04-07

Not good at all compared to the first. I also am not sure but it doesn't look digitalized.

4 out of 5 stars Not as good as the first Jurassic Park, but still Awsome.......2007-02-10

This wasn't quite as good as the First Jurassic Park in 1993. But this is still the action packed And it's my second favorite Jurassic park. The lost world jurassic park came out in 1997. This one had even more dinosaurs. And much more carnovors eating people! YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS FILM!!! Also see these films Jurassic park & Jurassic park 3.

3 out of 5 stars Dinosaur Eats Man-It gets old!.......2007-01-29

Jurassic Park was amazing. That might have been because it was the first monster/horror film I've ever seen. But it was action-packed, and it was suspensful. THE LOST WORLD starts that way, but it wears off a quarter of the way through the film. This movie runs in a basic cycle: T-rex comes out of the forest. People run from T-rex. T-rex eats people. T-rex goes back into the forest. Over, over, and over again. The only real suspensful part is about forty-five minutes into the film, when the three main characters are trapped in a trailer that is slowly falling over a cliff into the ocean five hundred feet below. That was the only part that made me gasp.
It starts to get old, and then it just starts to get insane. This is a jungle movie. In the end, it takes a turn for GODZILLA and has a big T-rex stomping his way through San Diego. Half way through the movie you're ready to turn it off, and by the end you're breathing a sigh of relief. It is true that THE LOST WORLD had more dinos, better visual effects, and more action (if you can call eating people action)than the original Jurassic Park. But in my opinoin, just watch the first one and forget that there are any sequels. You'll enjoy it!

2 out of 5 stars A jokey dinosaur movie don't make for good cinema.......2007-01-29

Everyone in my generation has to remember seeing the first movie in theaters, and how great it was to see dinosaurs come to life thanks to a mixture of stop-motion, robotics, and the first major use of modern computer graphics. The story wasn't the greatest in the world, but it was entertaining nonetheless, and seeing the movie as an adult later I still loved it. Many more of us probably saw this movie when it came out in theaters. At the time I didn't think much of it, but seeing it again as an adult...willickers, was this bad.

The plot consists of Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum) being called to John Hammond's mansion. It turns out that he is a member of the company InGen, and has a snotty rich nephew looking to move in on his dinosaur science. It's also revealed that the dinosaurs were actually bred on ANOTHER island (all this fits into the "we forgot to tell you this in the first movie" category of film rules) and Hammond wants Malcom to lead a team there before his greedy nephew can try and utilize the dinosaurs to make money. Malcom agrees because it turns out his girlfriend is there, (Julianne Moore, who never quite picked up how to act) and his black daughter (don't ask) stows away in their trailer. While on the island Hammond's greedy nephew arrives with their team, with the goal of capturing dinosaurs, including a T-Rex.

There are so many faults to this movie, but I think I'll start with the characters. It's very safe to say the dinosaurs are the best part of this film, as most of the humans deserve to be extinct in their own right. In the first movie Malcom was great; he was a kind of Cassandra-like character who spoke cynical wisdom but was ignored. In this one he's just annoying, because he makes sarcastic jokes ALL THE TIME. It's much like how Lucas ruined Yoda in the new Star Wars movies by overdoing his backwards talk. This is combined with the fact that every other character in this film makes a sarcastic comment at every occasion, whether it be about the death of their friends or their dire situation. Also, let's talk about Julianne Moore's character, who is the greatest offender. She's supposed to be smart, and she's supposed to be independent. You're supposed to laugh at Malcom's attempts to save her, but you realize he's right - because she's a complete idiot! She's also an amazing hypocrit. She tells people not to interfere with the island or even "bend a blade of grass" yet walks right up to a baby dinosaur and touches it, causes a stampede, takes in a baby T-Rex, intermingles with the dinosaur population, and in general bends a lot of grass. She also warns people that some dinosaurs have a strong sense of smell, then continues to wear a jacket covered in baby T-rex blood. This gets a lot of people killed, but we're still supposed to like her as a character. Oh yeah, and there's John Hammond's nephew. You liked John Hammond in the first movie because - despite all his faults - he was a very human character. His nephew is the typical corporate villain character you'd find in any other horror movie.

Now let's talk about the film itself, which is just bad all around. There are so many problems with the story that Ed Wood would shake his head in shame. Take for example how the carnivores are supposed to be on the interior of the island, yet a little girl is attacked by carnivores on the island's beach and InGen personnel find a T-Rex nest right near where they park on the island's exterior. Or how about how no one knows the island is secretly called "The Five Deaths" even though it's clearly shown on their trailer map as being labeled "The Five Deaths?" Or what about that whole scene with the boat, where the T-Rex somehow escaped, killed everyone, then the captain became a zombie and shut the T-Rex back in its haul before dying for good. (at least, that's the only way I can explain it) Speaking of that whole sequence, how'd you like the T-Rex walking around San Diego? Especially since it seems to do so for about ten minutes without causing ANY KIND OF MASSIVE CHAOS! And then when police come they turn around and drive away as if they didn't know what was walking about the city. (there's even an "animal control" van there with them...I think that's an attempt at humor, but I'm not laughing) By the way, I think this is the only world where a T-Rex could sneak up on people, as one does so in three scenes. Do dinosaurs tiptoe?

And how about the great dialogue, like when Hammond's nephew wants to set up camp and Pete Postlethwaite's character says to him:

"Peter, if you want me to run your little camping trip, there are two conditions: first, I'm in charge, and when I'm not around, Dieter is. All you have to do is sign the checks, tell us we're doing a good job, and open your case of scotch when we have a good day. Second condition: my fee? You can keep it. All I want in return for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and when is my business. Now if you don't like either of those conditions, you're on your own."

Uh, shouldn't they have settled all this BEFORE they left for the island?

Admittedly I used to see this movie in a brighter light. A few months ago I would've given it three stars. I used to think this was a fun-bad movie - the kind of "craptastic" film you could laugh at. After a while, though, it became unbearable. And I know exactly when I snapped. It was when they showed those Japanese businessmen running from the T-rex. HA HA HA HA HA!! GET IT FOLKS?! JAPANESE PEOPLE RUNNING FROM A GIANT REPTILE!! HA HA, THAT'S COMEDY GOLD!! HA HA...HA...ha...

Yeah, just avoid this movie. They constantly play it for laughs, which makes it a campy just-for-the-money sequel. Just stick with the first one and pretend it ended there.

3 out of 5 stars Darker in tone and weaker characters than the first movie.......2006-11-25

Like Jurassic Park, "The Lost World" is based on a novel by Michael Crichton, who was a co-writer on both screenplays. The original novel was darker than the movie; this movie reflects that darkness.

The main character is Ian Malcom (Jeff Goldblum), a supporting role in the original, and a non-surviving character in the book. The only other movie character that has a role more than a cameo is John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), a character that likewise did not survive the book. To me, the first hint on the tone of the movie was to make cynical Malcolm the star instead of the more typical heroic Dr. Grant (Sam Neill) from the original. Even the humor is darker.

The first scene in this sequel is actually from the opening of the original novel (I have not read the novel "The Lost World"), partially used because it introduces a dinosaur not in the original movie, though these critters played a role in the original novel.

This sequel, though, is more of a horror story than a true science fiction story. Its goal is to terrify you. As a result, many of the human characters are meant to be victims for the monsters (e.g. dinosaurs), instead of characters you really care about.

This movie follows the formula of the original movie: 1) an attack by a dinosaur; 2) an introduction to why the characters come to the island; 3) some wonderful dinosaur footage, and lighter hearted plot/character development; 4) the attack of the tyrannosaur(s); 5) more action; 6) the attack of the velociraptors; and 7) the rescue of the survivors. This sequel does add a second ending, where a tyrannosaur is allowed to roam the streets of San Diego as you would expect from a B-grade horror movie.

If you like horror movies, this will be to your liking. It is well crafted as far as the special effects. However, I would not recommend this movie.

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

3 out of 5 stars Jurassic Park 3 Takes a Bite .......2007-05-16

Jurassic Park 3 Takes a Bite
Released: 2001
Rated: PG-13

Picture two people a child and an adult parasailed and the boat driver magically disappeared into the fog. The people glide onto a mysterious island. Will they ever get off the island? Where did the boat driver go? This is best movie I have ever seen you should watch it too.

Then dinosaurs look so real. At some parts in this movie these dinosaurs look like they are coming right out of the TV screen.
This movie has a book to it and it is almost just like the movie. I have also read the book. This book was so good that I told every one that they should read it too. This movie is so good that I had to watch it more than once. I ended up watching this movie at the least seven times.

This movie is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my entire life. I recommend this movie to children thirteen and over because children under the age might get scared of the huge dangerous dinosaurs.
If you were on the island what you think you would see and if you were in this situation would you be scared.

4 out of 5 stars A much better sequel.......2007-03-26

I am a big fan of the original film, Jurassic Park, but found the first sequel, Jurassic Park: The Lost World to be poorly developed character- and plot-wise, with too much reliance on action and special effects. I was so disappointed with my first viewing of the first sequel, that I did not see it again for years, and did not see the third movie, Jurassic III, until very recently, when I bought the DVD version of the trilogy.

In Jurassic III, paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) has vowed to never set foot on Isla Sorna, the island near Costa Rica where InGen, a company owned by wealthy entrepreneur John Hammond, had staff use genetic engineering and DNA harvested from blood extracted from fossilized mosquitoes to clone dinosaurs and raise them. The dinosaurs were to be exhibited on nearby Isla Nublar, in the ultimate theme park, Jurassic Park, with the disastrous results shown in the first installment of the trilogy. After the debacle on Isla Nublar, InGen abandoned both islands, and they were quarantined, until the dinosaurs could die off. But, the dinosaurs flourished.

Now, an apparently rich, divorced couple has talked Dr. Grant into being their guide for an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, but they have a hidden agenda. I don't see this as a spoiler, as it is one of the first scenes in the movie: a man (the divorced woman's boyfriend) and a boy (the son of the divorcees) are stranded on Isla Sorna, after a parasailing trip goes badly. The divorced couple (William H. Macy and Tea Leoni) really want to rescue their son (Trevor Morgan) from Isla Sorna, with the help of Dr. Grant and his assistant (Alessandro Nivola), who do not know they are on a rescue mission, and Michael Jeter and his crew. Of course, the dinosaurs do not appreciate the intrusion, and see the humans as good snacking material.

The dinosaurs: Three dinosaur species were big attractions in this movie. A new "super-predator," Spinosaurus, was introduced, and it was bigger and meaner than Tyrannosaurus rex. A section of the island was set aside for pteronodons, and they were very interesting. And, of course, the Velociraptors were a big part of the film, with the premise being that, had the Earth not experienced a meteor-triggered climatic cataclysm, the Velociraptors might have ended up as the globe's dominant species. The theme of their communication skills was well-done and very interesting, and the portrayal of the animals has been updated, to match recent theories, by having them sport crests of primitive proto-feathers. One of the DVD's special features was a "dinosaur turntable," wherein the different species were presented as monochromatic three-dimensional models revolving on a platform, full-color models revolving in a real-life scene, and computerized models showing their locomotion. This educational feature was great, but could have been expanded, to include information on hunting, feeding, and social interaction facts, to the extent those are known.

Special effects: Amazing. Truly amazing. The movements of all the different animals are done very well, look natural (Right! As if I know how a Spinosaurus should move!), and blend very well with the real aspects of the scenes (like people and trees). The battles between the Spinosaurus and the Tyrannosaurus rex is amazing to watch and, in some bizarre way, I found myself sad about the outcome, which just points out how realistic these beasties seemed to me. The pterosaurs, in their odd manner of walking and graceful flight, were quite credible, and their final scene, reminiscent of the closing scene of Jurassic Park with the pelicans, was loaded with portent, suggesting that, if there ever were a Jurassic IV, it might portray a world where humanity was trying to keep itself off of the Endangered Species list.

The intangibles: Jurassic Park showed us some moments of movie magic, most notably the wonder of Drs. Grant and Sattler seeing the brachiosaurs for the first time, and realizing how their world had just turned upside-down, plus the primitive, terrifying glory of the triumphant Tyrannosaurus rex near the end, as she inescapably declared the world to belong to her. The Lost World had none of that wonder, charm, or emotional power.

What about Jurassic III? Trevor Morgan, William H. Macy, Tea Leoni, and Allesandro Nivola helped Sam Neill restore an element of human emotion and connectivity to the film, and the idea that the Velociraptors were even more advanced than previously thought, added an element of both terror and wonder (as in "I wonder what life will be like now?") to the story. This third installment in the series did not have as much emotional impact as did the original, but it came close enough to call it a worthy sequel.

Pros: Action, special effects, pterosaurs, a real story

Cons: It still lacks some of the wonder of the first film.

The Bottom Line: This is a better sequel to Jurassic Park than was The Lost World, with more story, better acting, and just as much action and great special effects.

Recommended: Yes

5 out of 5 stars This one is my favorite.......2007-01-29

Let's be honest, after "The Lost World" did anyone have high hopes for the third installment? I certainly didn't. I came late to the Jurassic Park movies, only seeing them a few years ago, so I don't have any real attachment to the first movie. I enjoyed it but I couldn't stand the child actors and enough with the Chaos Theory, Jeff Goldbum. For me, number three was the best. It was fun and entertaining. Don't get my wrong, I understand why the Emmys overlooked this movie. However, I thought that the actors were good; the story was well thought out and it was overall an enjoyable, exciting movie. Don't get caught up comparing it to the original, because odds are you like that one best. Feel free to compare it to the "The Lost World," because odds are you don't like that better... than anything. In closing, let me say this: "Jurassic Park III" is worth your time and money and at the very least it will get the horrible taste that is "The Lost World" out of your mouth.

In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while Jeff Goldblum returns as Ian Malcolm, the quirky chaos theoretician who now reluctantly agrees to go to another island where cloned dinosaurs are roaming freely. Along with his girlfriend (Julianne Moore) and daughter, Malcolm has to deal with hunters, environmentalists, and corporate swine who stupidly bring back a big dino to Southern California, where it runs amok, of course. Spielberg doesn't seem to care that the pieces of this project don't add up to a real movie, so he hams it up with big, scary moments (with none of the artfulness of those in Jurassic Park) and smart-aleck visual gags (a yapping dog in a suburb mysteriously disappears when a hungry T-rex stomps by). A complete bust. --Tom Keogh
