Review of Jurassic Park III (2001) by Robinson2511 — 09 Aug 2015

Jurassic Park III brings back Sam Neill for some more Dinosaur action, that for me, is enough to make this a great film. Dr. Alan Grant is hired by Paul and Amanda Kirby to guide them on an aerial tour of Isla Sorna, but when they land on the island their true motives for going there become clear.

There are many debates as to whether Jurassic Park III or The Lost World are better, but The Lost World seems to be a clear favourite, but that doesn't mean Jurassic Park III is bad, in some ways it's better, it certainly makes up for the thrills and dinosaur action the Lost World definitely lacked.

Although this is not a Spielberg film, the direction is still great, although the animatronics seem less natural than they did before. The acting is great, although Alessandro Nivola's performance is very dull at points and Trevor Morgan doesn't seem to know how to do certain lines of the script.

The writing is great save for a few unexplained moments, such as the skeleton in the tree, and the people disappearing on the boat, and a few really unbelievable moments such the spinosaurus being able to break through a dinosaur enclosure, but not through a metal door.

Um, no. The climax is also way too sudden, and the tension is short-lived. Personally I find Jurassic Park III to be better than The Lost World mainly just because of that film's lack of dinosaurs, lack of thrills, and this film has Sam Neill.

But also because of Jurassic Park III's action scenes, direction, and acting from most of the cast.
