March 29, 2012Well although not a hit like the first, i must say its far better than the second and its a shock that it only came out a year after its sequel ! I love the cast and glad to see sam neill reclaiming his role shame about the rest tof the original cast, but the story really didnt h... read more

February 1, 2012Is not better that the first Jurassic Park, but, for certain is better that the second. Anyway, Jurassic Park III, is nice, but weak. Rotten.

January 11, 2012Such a letdown. It could have been so great too. But here's the thing: this film wasn't even really necessary. I felt like all that needed to be said was done with the previous two.
Granted, there are some neat ideas and decent moments to be found in this one, but, even though ... read more -
November 24, 2011The dinosaur's look scarier then they have ever been in Jurassic Park III. The special effects and life likeness of the dino's are amazing and they can easily beat the two previous installments. Definetely better than the Spielberg sequel but it fails to bring any big thrills lik... read more

August 3, 2011Confession: I rewatched this film recently while playing a "Jurassic Park III" drinking game. It helped make the film more enjoyable... obviously.
Still, this is about on par with "The Lost World: Jurassic Park." These are just chase movies with dinosaurs. There really isn't any... read more -

June 23, 2011I liked this one more than the others. I don't know why though. It's just how I am.

April 27, 2011And ladies and gentlemen, here is the definition of a useless sequel. The first 2 films were based on 2 excellent novels, and the third film is literally the parts cut from the first 2 books that didn't get put into the first 2 films, condensed and re-written for a cash grab. And... read more

April 24, 2011Jurassic Park III is a much needed improvement over The Lost World. While The Lost World was visually stunning of course, the film lacked the strong dramatic and story elements that made the first one such a classic. This third entry directed by Joe Johnson is a worthy addition t... read more

April 23, 2011Better than The Lost World, but still many problems. Im glad they brought back Sam Neill, but this is the dumbest group of survivors of the entire series. The effects were pretty good, but it has changed along with the Director, who does a pretty good job keeping to the series.... read more

If there's one thing certain in this new instalment of Jurassic Park, it's that the critters are a whole lot smarter, faster and interesting than the Homo sapiens dropping in on them. Full Review

Bad news is the only news in Jurassic Park III. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Too bad the script doesn't extend the same courtesy to the actors, who are saddled with dialogue neither man nor beast could respond to.

The third time around is at least one time too many. Full Review

Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
Drama is minimal and character nonexistent. Full Review

Jay Carr, Boston Globe
What makes it worth sitting through is the chance it offers to catch up on the technical advances since the last installment.

Dinosaurs rule movie but flimsy screenplay undercuts intense action. Full Review

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Spielberg's wizardry is gone, and his balletic light touch as well, and that gives too much of this 90-minute movie over to the duller-than-dull characters. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Relatively speaking, Jurassic Park III is a disappointment of behemoth proportions. Full Review
