In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This may be the lowest point in box office for the Jurassic Park franchise, however, in light of both reading up on the spinosaurus and watching several YouTube videos on the franchise, I'm coming to appreciate the work that went into the third Jurassic movie. First off, as most people have noted, this is not like the other three films. Yes, it may not have much of a scare tactic, but it all boils down to how well you know your dinosaurs. Go back to 2001. Research for undiscovered dinosaurs, like the spinosaurus was quite new and different. This animal was chosen for it's distinctive size, power and energy. The production team was looking for something larger than the T-Rex and the reason this dinosaur was chosen was for it's crocodile like snout, which makes it stand out next to it's cousins in the relative chain. Upono closer inspection, if you actually know something of the animal, it was more of an aquatic animal, and the research, as eluded to in the trivia section had the dinosaur standing on four to two legs, depending on your source material. Therefore, with this kind of information, you can get an idea of what's really going on behind the scenes for the storyline when it comes to actually breeding the animals. It's an obvious hybrid, even through it isn't stated in the film. I honestly don't think it was the studios intention to create a hybrid dinosaur. What we got is actually quite brilliant, it's a monster movie, but with a Jurassic Park twist. The fact that they chose to do it this way and leave the audience w questions until the next movie furthers the idea that the spinosaurus is a hybrid. Most people are probably looking at the animal and wishing it was a T-Rex, because that is the star of the franchise. Mot people probably didn't like it for several obvious reasons, but it's the dinosaurs that shine the most in this episode of the Jurassic Park franchise. Two thumbs up for doing something completely different!!

Movie Review: "Jurassic Park III" (2001)In season 2000/2001 executive producer Steven Spielberg passed on the directing efforts in the "Jurassic Park" movie series to director Joe Johnston, who had been received notices with the special-effect-spectacle "Jumanji" (1995). In this third installment of an highly-successful first film "Jurassic Park" directed by Steven Spielberg in season 1992/1993, where computer-generated-imagery (CGI) got its stakes in movie-making over the former stop-motion-techniques from the early days of fantasy-action with "King Kong" (1933) produced and directed by Merian C. Cooper (1893-1973). "Jurassic Park III" does establish weaker thrills then "The Lost World" (1997) directed by Steven Spielberg due to an uninspired no-dinosaur opening sequence with an common 10-year-old boy and his guardian get attacked by assumingly a group of Pteranodons (Giant Bird-Like Dinosaurs), who then make the ultimate highlight of this picture in a relentless thrilling, yet-all-to-short cage fight between another stranded group led by as usual convincing leading actor Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant, whom unchanged character from "Jurassic Park" (1993) helps out a desperate on-off-relationship couple, fairly-emotional supporting cast portrayed by Téa Leoni and match-making William C. Macy.Everything else in this some surprises-striking Fantasy-Action-Movie for a fast-moving, no-major-drama or conflict-given despite surviving as escaping again the second island of billionaire John Hammond's Jurassic Park day-dreams, when private planes fall off the sky, the T-Rex has a death-match with an indecisive Spinosaurus of an unpleasant in-betweener dinosaur selection in missed opportunities of the up to 18% more expensive "Jurassic Park III" over its predecessor, despite the ticket-worthiness of news-bringing action scene with magnificent realistically-designed Pteranodons, when the unless suspenseful group-hunting velociraptors fall short in this one, versus the common-runaway-group of less-cared-about characters from unfinished screenplay feeling written by project-abandoning filmmakers Alexander Payne & Jim Taylor, know for collaborating on full-blown dramatic scripts for "About Schmidt" (2002) starring Jack Nicholson and "Sideways" (2004) starring Paul Giamatti.Nevertheless "Jurassic Park III" must be enjoyed as a plain Hollywood entertainment of no consequence, when it took another 14 years for executive producer Steven Spielberg at Univeral Studios-based company of Amblin Entertainment, Inc. to redeem this 85-Minute action movie in order to deliver a higher-thrills-sharing "Jurassic World" in Summer 2015.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

I LOVE Jurassic Park. I love dinosaurs. I loved the cast of these movies. The first movie is my favorite movie of all time. The second one had its good moments, but it was generally below average. The reboot, Jurassic World, was a good time, but didn't stick with you. However, this one is just plain AWFUL.Sam Neill reprises his role as Alan Grant, but without any of the fun or character of Alan Grant. He has no personality in this movie, and makes stupid decisions frequently that Alan Grant should not be making. I don't even remember the names of the starring couple because they were so forgettable. They bickered constantly. but in a development everyone expected, they end up getting back together at the end after their divorce. However, they were so annoying towards each other, and made the dumbest decisions that no one would ever make, such as shouting through a megaphone in a forest of dinosaurs, that I was actively rooting for them to get eaten by a pack of Raptors. And I'm sure that there were others in the group with those three, but again, I don't remember their names or appearances due to their sheer lack of character and interest. If horrible characters weren't enough to drag down this mess of a movie, the plot makes no sense, and is filled with countless holes. Overall, there is absolutely no reason to watch this movie, no matter how much you love the series or dinosaurs, like me.
