Jurassic Park Trilogy Reviews:
The Jurassic Park Trilogy
2007-11-30 - Here goes my review for another sci-fi adventure classic, well here we go!

Jurassic Park:

This original, superb, cunning classic will forever be a favorite in my library for a long long time. It conveys scares, action and humor in just the right quantities, resulting in an adventure film that you're almost garunteed to love.

Recommended age limit: 8+ violence and some language

9/10 stars
----------------------------------------------------------

The Lost World: Jurassic Park:

A sequel was unavoidable. here it comes, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (or Jurassic Park 2 by some Fans). This sequel includes all the laughs and action of the first film, but not quite as much scares. The characters seem more like action hereoes than unsuspecting prey of the dinosaurs like in the first film, making it seem less like they were going to die, making it less scary. It also seemes like the only thing extras were meant to do was get eaten, I mean what are the odds of having 40+ people on the island and only the three main characters surviving?(give or take a 1 or 2 others)
As a whole not as good as the first, but still a fun flic,k, recommended

recommended age limit: 9+, more violence than the first film

7/10 stars
----------------------------------------------------------

Jurassic Park III

After the decent second film JPIII firmly rebounds and renews the franchise with thrills, spills, and a lot more violence than the other films. While the bodie count is lower in this third installment, there are more on-screen deaths in this third film. Although the violence is more, the feel is lighter, resulting in a more realistic feel. What I mean by this, is that in the other films it always seemed to start raining whenever the dinosaurs attacked, this gets a little cheesy after a while. Luckily there is only one sequence containing rain in this film, and it's at the end. Also, it's structured different than the others, in the other ones they saw the happy plant eaters first then they got attacked by the meat eaters and you can barely recall seeing plant eaters for the rest of the film. In this new installment, they save the plant-munchers for the middle of the film, and the blood-thirsty ones appear as the first thing they encoun ter on the island. Now this may seem to some as a way to try to get to the munching part right away, but it doesn't seem to be that way during the film, you see, the dinosaurs don't appear out of no where, they come because some one is stupid enough to repeatedly shout through a blow horn. This ends up as a much better way to introduce the creatures than in the previous ones.

recommended age limit: 9+

8/10 stars, encore (and they will too)

Universal DVD's don't play!
2006-12-24 - JP movie doesn't play without skips and jumping back to a previous scene. Buying this Universal set was the last straw for me. Th previous Universal Monsters set didn't play either. I refuse to buy another Universal DVD again. And they wouldn't replace it like Warner Bros. does.

Simply The Best
2005-09-27 - This box set, is whats the word? Fascinating, it measures up for the excellent movies.

JURASSIC PARK -

Jurassic Park gets a easy 10/10 from me. I have been a huge fan, even have a site for the movies, fan of the series ever since I first saw Jurassic Park back in 1996 at five, almost six years old. The movie was just so magical, everything about it was so breathtaking and fascinating, it was oh so perfect. The dinosaurs in this movie have to be the most realisticly portrayed out of any dinosaur films from the past, that was absolutly no question. The charectors were great and added to the specialness of the film, all the actors chosen to star were perfect in there roles except for a minor few such as Martin Ferrero as Donal Gennaro, hes a good actor and all, but he didn't fit the role at all, but he wasn't horrible or bad either, he would have fit as a better Ed Regis if that charector was in the film which it wasn't. Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards were the cast members who rounded out most of the cast, each giving there charector a sense of originality and freshness. The actors are so realistic that you never think once that they've memorized the lines from the script, but that there saying everything naturally. From the excellent start to the film to one of the most memorable movie endings in the history of cinema, this film delivers in every way. Steven Spielberg really delivered what he was determined to do, a realistic film where the dinosaurs were portrayed as real as possible and as animals, NOT theme-park monsters. The basic premise of the film: A wealthy Billionare, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) invites a group of scientists/Paleontologists to the island, Isla Nublar (aka Jurassic Park) to endorse the park, in other words, tell the envestors and lawyers that the park is in fact, safe and ready to be opened to the public. But when a greedy worker for Hammond shuts the power off in the park letting loose the dinosaurs, everything goes downward and mayhem occurs everywhere. From over turned explorers to a kid getting shocked on an electrical fence to a Tyrannosaurs chasing a jeep and even Velociraptors stalking kids in a kitchen, you see everything you could possibly hope for. This movie gets an easy ten out of ten. You should be ashamed if you do not have this in your collection. Ashamed.

THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK -

10/10. I don't know, to this day, why some people say that the third flm is better than this one? I simply do not know why? Half the people who claim that the third is better is just because they prefer more action over a well thought out plot (unlike part ///'s disgraceful premise that a four year old could think up in a day) and realistically portrayed dinosaurs (unlike JP///'s incredibly INNACURATE Spinosaur, many do not know and think that the way the Spinosaurus in part 3 is how they were in real life, not true, the Spinosaurs were actually FISH eaters and would never go up against the Tyrannosaurus like it did, but this review is about TLW, not JP///). So basically, in this also Steven Spielberg directed film, a group of InGen workers including John Hammond's nephew Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard) set out to Isla Sorna, Site B, an island that used to be the breeding ground for Jurassic Park's dinosaurs before a massive hurricane destroyed the island forcing many to flee and leaving the dinosaurs to inhabit the island. The group set out to capture as much dinosaurs as possible and bring them back to the mainland to create a new park, 'Jurassic Park: San Diego'. When John Hammond who was forced out of his possition of InGen CEO (President), his nephew taking his place, hears about this, he sets up a team including Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn), Eddie Carr (Richard Schiff) and Dr. Sarah Harding (Julianne Moore) who plays Dr. Ian Malcolms (Jeff Goldblum, from the first film) girlfriend to go and document the dinosaurs at the island to set up a fossil record and prove that the dinosaurs are not dangerous. But when Malcolm hears that his girlfriend has gone to the island, he immedietly sets out to the island to "rescue" her even though she chose to go. When the team members, including Malcolm, arrive, they all discover that Hammond sent them to the island to puroposely stop Ludlow and his team from taking the dinosaurs off the island. The movie turns into a team against team/team against dinosaurs and Sabatoge type film. To make matters worse, Malcolms daughter, Kelly Malcolm (Vannessa Lee Chester) has stowed away on a trailer to the island with them, so he is now forced to watch after her and protect himself and his girlfriend Sarah from the prehistoric animals. The ending is very climatic and makes the whole point of the Jurassic Park movies. Just when you thought that the dinosaurs couldnt' get any better than the first film, you were wrong, the dinosaurs in this film look even MORE realistic and fascinating than the first film. Particularly the Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurs stand out the most. The movie deserved what it gets, which is a ten out of ten. And if you think that part three is better, then you are crazy but hey, we all have our opinions and think different from each other so...

JURASSIC PARK /// -

My rating? 4.5/10 (4 and a half out of ten), this movie was so hyped up and was claiming to be as good as the first two, wrong. First off, the plot, the plot is a plot that you would probably see on a 'Jurassic Park: The TV Series' type show, a divorced couples teenage son gets in a parasailing accident near Isla Sorna and is forced to land there, eight weeks later (do you honestly think a thirteen year old would survive for eight weeks?), the couple (why on earth would the couple wait eight weeks to finally get help??) trick Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill from the first film, hes what makes the movie get a 4.5/10) into going to the island claiming that they are a happily married couple and are celebrating there anniversary by taking an aerial tour of the island by plane, but when the plane lands and invertedly crashes soon after by the islands new "monster", Grant finds out why the couple trully brought him here, to help find there son. Another person who came along with Grant is graduate student, Billy Brennan (Alessandro Nivola, his charector is the only new charector actually worthy of being in a JP film) who wanted to see the dinosaurs alive and well. After this, the movie basically turns into nothing but a corny running and screaming film where all the charectors destined to die, die half way through the film leaving the half with NO deaths. The dinosaurs, I don't know what to think, the Velociraptors have now lost there eeriness and make you want to laugh rather then shutter, they are portrayed TOO intelligently in the film that its almost laughable in some parts. The Spinosaurus is just...gosh, a big mistake, the film portrays it as a total movie monster which ruins the whole point of the first two films, which was to portray the dinosaurs as animals rather than vicious monsters out to just kill and nothing else. You hardly get to see any herbivores in this film and only see carnivores (mostly the Raptors and Spinosaurus) out to get some fresh meat. The Spinosaurus is portrayed so wrong that its almost disgusting, first off, the Spinosaurs would NEVER have attacked the Tyrannosaurus Rex in real life like it did in the film, second off, the way it broke the Rex's neck, was totally wrong and unbelievable, now, if it would have broken the Rex's neck AND tooken off its own jaw in the process, then it would have been a little more believable, why do I say this? Well simple, the Spinosaurs jaws were made for eating and catching FISH, not breaking a Rex's neck which is almost impossible to do i'm sure.The Spinosaurus wouldn't even chase the humans around like it did unless they were in its territory, instead it chases and stalks them around the whole island! The acting was sub par, Sam Neill and Alessandro did excellent jobs, and I appreciated the great cameo by Jurassic Park star, Laura Dern, who returns for a two part cameo that rounds out to 5 or 6 minutes of the film. Those were actually my favorite scenes, the two cameos with her present because it manages to capture the JP feeling, too bad the rest of the film couldn't do the same. Tea Leoni and William H. Macy, they did a bad job in my opinion, hey, there great actors, oscar worthy of course, but not in this movie, they weren't given anything good to work with and acted a bit over the top. One of the worst aspects, was that Joe Johnston who relys more on Special effects than on plot and story depth, took over the reighns of the directors chair leaving Steven Spielberg only as Executive Producer. The whole style of the film was just so...wrong. But hey, there were some good aspects of the film that I won't list because this film is really about opinion once it comes down to it. 4.5/10. Let's hope that JP IV does better and i'm hoping that I get the privalege of giving it at least a 8/10.

Now, the bonus disc is what saved the box set to get a 3.5/10 rating (due the third film getting a poor rating), the sad part is is that the bonus disc, BEYOND JURASSIC PARK (which gets a 8.5/10) is more entertaining and has more JP depth then the third movie, and the bonus disc just has special features for all three JP films that most, have never before been seen before. The extras are a REALLY GREAT treat for the JP fan and you're really missing out if you don't have this disc, the packaging for the trilogy is really beautiful and convenient. So if you don't have this set in your collection, either go out and buy it NOW or you'll be hitting yourself later on.

OVERALL - The set gets a 10/10.

JURASSIC PARK - 10/10

THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK - 10/10

JURASSIC PARK /// - 4.5/10

BEYOND JURASSIC PARK - 8.5/10

WHOLE SET - 10/10

JP2=The Best. / JP1=The 2nd Best / JP3=The Third Best
2005-07-11 - I say that Jurassic Park 2; The Lost World is the absolute best of the three because everything about it is perfect, Jurassic Park 1 is almost as good as the second, and Jurassic Park 3 is Ok. I love the Lost World because of extreme scenes like the San Diego rampage scene.
