Jurassic Park 1 was decent (although not really faithful to the book), Jurassic Park 2 sucked except for the Godzilla homage at the end, and Jurassic Park 3... Jurassic Park 3 deals with William H. Macy and Tea Leoni hiring Sam Neil and his young apprentice on a secret mission that takes them over the island in Jurassic Park 2. I enjoyed this one better than The Lost World (JP2). The movie is only an hour and a half, Sam Neil is much less annoying than Jeff Goldblum, and William H. Macy does a great job. Tea Leoni, however, sucks beyond belief. The best thing about this movie is that it is a bit darker than previous entries and it has fun with the dinos fighting the humans. I enjoyed the scene with the pterodactyls as well as a dino vs. dino combat scene early on. The ending is extremely contrived, comes out of nowhere, and the last shot reeks of plans for a sequel. I give Jurassic Park *** out of ****. First of all, this movie was better than Jurassic Park 2 : Lost World, but that really isn't saying much, since I could film myself taking a crap on a pile of newspaper and it would end up being more pleasent to watch than Jurassic Park 2. In the third installment of Jurassic Park, the director decided to stick to humans running from dinosaurs, instead trying to come up with a wortwhile plot to go along with it. Another thing that this movie happened to be lacking was that it never anyone getting killed. Granted, there really wasn't much killing, what little there was, was never shown on screen. This opened up the opportunity to bring someone back, and just claim that the person survived. I hate that,. One of the more entertaining parts of the movie was watching William H. Macy act circles around Tea Leoni, who could act dead, if I shot her. This movie get s a low score for the lone fact that Tea Leoni does not get her face ripped off by a raptor. * out of **** |
