Jurassic Park III

I like it a bit more than the second one, mainly because this film doesn't pretend to be anything special and is almost pure B-movie, but also because Sam Neill is in it, and he's my favorite in the whole series. Moreover, there are also flying dinosaurs here, which only had a small cameo in the previous film. Bad, but not that bad. (04/11/2015)

Unlike most, I was looking forward to the threequel and after watching it I am completely satisfied. The film doesn't pretend to be anything great and just showers the viewer with a lot of quality action, especially the fight of the giant dinosaurs, which is really worth seeing. It does not reach the quality of the first two parts, but it' s still a very thrilling and exciting spectacle, which will definitely not offend any lover of overgrown prehistoric lizards. The only thing I would strongly criticize the filmmakers for is the botched ending and the fact that they didn't turn the annoying Téa Leoni into raptor fodder. (04/21/2011)

An unashamed B-movie riding a dime-novel, King Kong-style wave. It has nothing whatsoever to do with part one, but nor is it as completely brain-dead as part two. This is mainly thanks to the sensible length and solid pace. The effects aren’t always completely well-done and not even the dinosaurs that did much to save the previous parts aren’t really up to their ancestors. Plus, thanks to the constant escapades and running away from carnivorous predators, there wasn’t enough time for any feeling of wonder and “cute" scenes with herbivores. But at least those carnivores meet a sticky end. (01/26/2007)

Relatively decent entertainment that doesn't pretend to be an action blockbuster because it's not. It's the shortest, least extravagant, but possibly also the most dynamic. We are introduced to a truly blessed amount of dinosaurs, with the two largest ones practically at the beginning. The action is quite imaginative, occasionally too focused on the visual effects, but it can be endured. It's not Spielberg's grandeur, but this time it doesn't matter. Sam Neill is equally good, and the others have nothing to be ashamed of. The third time around, the fun is slightly exhausted, but for a single watch? Why not. (06/17/2006)

A bunch of gluttonous dinosaurs for the third time and in the hungriest caliber. This third installment is a hair behind the second and a full hide behind the first. The dinosaurs are fancier, the action scenes are plentiful and even the old friend Sam Neill is back. On the other hand, I was a little annoyed that what’s supposed to be an originally adventurous sci-fi film became a family drama at times. All in all, good and bad, and technically still a great experience with a somewhat inferior plot and a properly short running time. But whatever ... I just love dinosaurs! (08/27/2010)
