Movie and TV Reviews


I've decided to take on a blog to review any movies and/or television shows I'm watching. I'm going to post my review and then score it on one of a couple of recommendations:

Trash Can: Don't waste your time
Skip It: If you can avoid it, do so
Rental: It's alright, worth a watch
Own It: Good for the movie collection
Essential Collection: Don't miss it

Jurassic Park III

***SPOILER ALERT***

In the early 2000's the fan base of the first two 'Jurassic Park' movies demanded another.  The result, was 'Jurassic Park III.'

I felt 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' was a sequel worthy of the name.  This one, however, is pure farce.

The story reintroduces Alan Grant back into the storyline.  A character I loved in the first movie but was shown in this one as a greedy person who would go back on his word by a simple check.  'Jurassic Park III' starts cheesy and ends cheesy.  It has all the make of a direct-to-video film.

One of the most important elements of the series was lost in this film, the dinosaurs looking visually real.  Even the velociraptors were made to look different and it came off as silly.

From the ringing Nokia phone in the stomach of a dinosaur being heard throughout the film to warn them that the Spinosaurus was approaching to the worst dramatic cut I've ever seen in a movie, 'Jurassic Park III' aims for the top but falls short and hits the producers in the face when it falls back down.

Simply put, this movie was a by-the-numbers effort made to end up in one place, the trash can.
