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.

High-quality craftsmanship that honestly fulfilled the mediocre screenwriting ambitions. The two biggest dinosaurs are shown to us right from the start, followed by a lot of solid action (and inherent illogic), and in the last third we get a very enjoyable and previously unseen airborne surprise. All of this packed into a short runtime that won’t let you look at your watch even once.

A laid-back action ride disrupted by only a few slow moving "family" scenes. It was an excellent idea to bring Sam Neill's character back into the game, because if it weren't for Dr. Grant and the flying lizards (after a long wait, the pterosaurs from Crichton's original reappear) it would have ultimately been a much weaker movie. However, Joe Johnston didn't disgrace the previous Jurassic Parks, and considering he's taking the reins from one of the best film directors, much more could have gone wrong. As far as the music side is concerned, John Williams is missing, and in places it is quite evident.

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.

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.
