Disgraces the name of the series - Jurassic Park III Reviews
Jurassic Park was a good movie, but its sequels get worse and worse every time. The first one, which is definitly the best of the series, is also the only one you can officially call "a movie based on a Michael Crichton book". The second one was just a story the makers came up with, and they kept the title "The Lost World" because that was the sequel to Crichton's first novel. The third one, which I am sadly taking the time to review, was not the title of one of Crichton's books. And I seriously doubt that Michael Crichton, or any writer good enough to become professional, would write a book this bad.
The first two had goodries, so what new director Joe Johnston did was mix parts of them together in the hopes that the results could compare to what a man like Steven Spielberg can do to a film. Instead, he was left with an unoriginal movie with no sense.
In the third, a family asks Dr. Allan Grant to help him rescue their son, who is stuck on Isla Sorna. On the way, dinosaurs attack them. And that's it.It's an unbeievably weak story period, let alone compared to the other two. And all the new features that might have improved the movie if it had not been in the seres just make it worse.
The main dinosaur in JP3 is not the one that ultimatly symbolizes Jurassic Park, Tyrannosauraus Rex. Instead, it is Spinosauraus. Though the Spinosauraus is big, mean, and fast, it just does not deliver the same sort of fear that T-Rex does in the first two. Also, the velociraptors have changed their shape to what velociraptors probably looked like in real life, instead of what they did in the first two. This may please scientists, but no one who enjoyed the first two will like it.
There is a lot of violence in this movie, but it is scattered in peces over the movie. There is no long scene of terror, like the classic kitchen scene in the first one. They're all quick, short, and non-capturing scenes. Sure, lots of people die just for the sake of having that in a movie, but it never gets to your feelings, because they had such a short part in the movie that you never really got to know them.
This movie is much too short and meaningless to make you get into it, so forget about it being a worthy follow-up. No one who was alive when the first movie was made (1993) should like this movie, and very few people who weren't alive will like it anyway. Definetly one of the worst movies of all time: arguably the worse.
