Jurassic Park III: Critic Reviews

This great dinosaur of a movie is shambling towards well-merited extinction.

Bad news is the only news in Jurassic Park III.

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

An all-action, helter-skelter, don't-forget-to-buy-the-computer-game ride that makes the two previous installments look like models of classic filmmaking.

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.

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.

It's not art, but it's good scary fun.

An efficient and surprisingly palatable finale to the Jurassic franchise.

Spectacular but not scary or thrilling.

Mr. Johnston keeps the action and one-liners coming and, before you know it, it's over.

Much darker than the previous films, this third installment feels more like a horror flick set in amusement park than a good sci-fi adventure, though special effects, due to technology advances, are more sophisticated.

As sequencias de acao sao boas, mas nao o bastante para que ignoremos a fragilidade do roteiro, com seus pessimos dialogos e os personagens esquematicos.

True, the film offers little new, but it's still stirring family entertainment...

It might as well be the crappy pilot for a Jurassic Park TV series or a feature version of Sid and Marty Krofft's Land of the Lost.

Jurassic Park III is a blunder.

It's not art ... it's entertainment, and it knows it. Boy, does it entertain.

If you're looking for a tight script, interesting three-dimensional characters and something new with this movie, you will be disappointed.

For a sequel with a Roman numeral in the title, Jurassic Park III is more entertaining than expected.

Milking a Brontosaurus would be easier than milking this franchise any more . . . This pointless sequel is a tepid end (if there is a God) to the series

People who go to see Jurassic Park III are not there for character development, they want cool-looking dinosaurs, and that they will get in spades.

The Jurassic movies have by now palpably entered the plane of baldly profit-hunting, unpretentious entertainment...

The film never really decides what the central drive is going to be.

Returning to Jurassic Park a second time wasn't the most fruitful journey ... it's no surprise that the third trip back to the dinosaur-ridden island borders on the offensive.

It's not brilliant, it's rather predictable, but it's ok; it bowls along nicely and it does make you jump. What more can you ask of dinosaurs?

For those who vehemently debate whether a Spinosaurus can outfight a T-Rex, this movie will comfortably pass your time -- or devour it.
