Description of Jurassic Park III (Full Screeen Collector's Edition):
Surpassing expectations to qualify as an above-average sequel, Jurassic Park III is nothing more or less than a satisfying popcorn adventure. A little cheesier than the first two Jurassic blockbusters, it's a big B movie with big B-list stars (including Laura Dern, briefly reprising her Jurassic Park role), and eight years of advancing computer-generated-image technology give it a sharp edge over its predecessors. While adopting the jungle spirit of King Kong, the movie refines Michael Crichton's original premise, and its dinosaurs are even more realistic, their behavior more detailed, and their variety--including flying pteranodons and a new villain, the spinosaurus--more dazzling and threatening than ever. These advancements justify the sequel, and its contrived plot is just clever enough to span 90 minutes without wearing out its welcome.
Posing as wealthy tourists, an adventurous couple (William H. Macy, Téa Leoni) convince paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and his protégé (Allesandro Nivola) to act as tour guides on a flyover trip to Isla Sorna, the ill-fated "Site B" where all hell broke loose in The Lost World: Jurassic Park. In truth, they're on a search-and-rescue mission to find their missing son (Trevor Morgan), and their plane crash is just the first of several enjoyably suspenseful sequences. Director Joe Johnston (October Sky) embraces the formulaic plot as a series of atmospheric set pieces, placing new and familiar dinosaurs in misty rainforests, fiery lakes, and mysterious valleys, turning JP3 into a thrill ride with impressive highlights (including a T. rex versus spinosaurus smack-down), adequate doses of wry humor (from the cowriters of Election), and an upbeat ending that's corny but appropriate, proving that the symptoms of sequelitis needn't be fatal. --Jeff Shannon

The Mother Of All Dinosaur movies 
2009-11-09 - Jp 3 is awesome even though it's not directed by steven spielberg it is still good. the Jurassic Park movies have to be the best Dinosaur movies ever made. i love this movie and so will you. recommend it for everyone
Best of the Jurassic Park Trilogy 
2009-09-10 - This movie is the best one out of the 3 Jurassic Park movies made. The movie is fast paced and very entertaining. My two boys, ages 3 and 7, love it and watch it over and over. It has a bit of everything: raptors, pterdactyls, T-rex, and a surprise huge addition. You can't go wrong with Sam Neill and William H. Macy either. I just wish the scene with the T-rex lasted longer.
review 
2009-07-31 - This movie suked I liked 1 and 2 but the new director is terrible Steven Speilberg is a hell of alot better
Very Good Sequal To Jurassic Park - Recommended
2009-07-09 - After the huge disappointment of the first Jurassic Park (Widescreen Collector's Edition) (JP1) sequel, The Lost World - Jurassic Park (Widescreen Collector's Edition) (JP2), we were pleasantly surprised by Jurassic Park III (JP3).
No plot spoilers from me: This time we have paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill reprising his role from JP1) trying to keep a poorly prepared group alive on beautiful but, predictably, dinosaur infested island. The actors have a great chemistry that works well on screen. There are some very good character based plot twists and even a few dinosaur twists as well.
Like in JP1, there is a good amount of subtle humor added in the movie. This really helps to offset the tension created in the intense action sequences. The action and special effects are almost as good as in JP1 and are far better than JP2.
The dinosaurs in JP3 are much more fleshed out this time, with more advanced "personalities" and frighteningly realistic interaction with the environment. We also see a few "new" dino types, including the fearsome spinosaurus and flying pteranodons (a great scene, really well done on all levels).
This is a better than average sequel that my whole family enjoyed!
