Jurassic Park III

This time, it's not just a walk in the park!
In need of funds for research, Dr. Alan Grant accepts a large sum of money to accompany Paul and Amanda Kirby on an aerial tour of the infamous Isla Sorna. It isn't long before all hell breaks loose and the stranded wayfarers must fight for survival as a host of new -- and even more deadly -- dinosaurs try to make snacks of them.

Best things about Jurassic Park: Jeff Goldblum and T-Rex
Percentage of either of those things in Jurassic Park III: 0.2%
I rest my case.

I cannot believe this was made 8 years later than the first film. The cgi looked bad to say the least and the dinosaurs looked like large sized plastic models. And the plot too is lame and not worth to be in this franchise.
Well the Magic has worn away and the film is clearly persuasive and tries to win over the audience by pulling some old tricks but, does not achieve much.
I still remember watching, Jurassic park in theatres when I was a 5 year old. To sum up the effect, it was like nothing I had ever seen and it made my hair rise. That film would have the same effect on me even when I watch it as a 50 year old man.
But all Jurassic Park /// did to me, was to give me a big yawn, and if I were 50 years old it would have put me to sleep!!

I like Joe Johnston but he ain't no Spielberg. Every aspect of this movie felt like a cheap cash grab. The one positive thing that I can say is that the dinosaurs looked great other than that its best left forgotten.

I had happily gone through my life without watching this. Then someone chose to run it on TV and, for some reason, I saw it. It was a bad call. The premise is ridiculous, the acting crappy and, other than some nice CG effects, there’s nothing much to see. Unless you fancy watching Tea Leoni play one of the most annoying characters ever written. Helpful tip: if you one day find yourself stranded on an island surrounded by bloodthirsty dinosaurs, your best chance to make it is to do exactly the opposite of what she does. By all movie logic she should have died a slow, gory death. And I would have cheered for those dinos.
Also, the level of…

It was 12 at night, Richard Trapp and I were talking about movies before going to bed for the long day ahead...however at one point the topic of conversation hovered over Jurassic Park III and it's hilarious and entertaining flaws. From the bizarre screams of Tea' Leoni, the confusing shot of William H. Macy falling into a tree with Sam Neill cracking his knuckles (after 10 seconds you realise Sam Neill just punched the fellow), the Velociraptor that talks, the Spinosaurus that looks like Matt LeBlanc in that one scene (the ringtone by the fence scene), the dinner conversation that ends with an awkward fade to Sam Neill rolling down his window and the bizarrely funny scene where Sam Neill tries to talk to a parrot.
After about 60 seconds of silence Richard Trapp then said, 'You wanna go watch Jurassic Park III?'
I replied yes. I don't regret it. I always have fun. Lots of it.

It's funny because when I re-watched Jurassic Park 2 yesterday, I remembered liking it a lot more than I did. With this third film, I remember not really enjoying it at all when I first saw it. On re-watch, I enjoyed this a lot.
While it still does not compare with the original, I found myself loving this and going along with the ride. It was great to see Sam Neill back and this film didn't seem to take as long to get into what we all watch these films for; The dinosaur action.
While there were some silly, over the top moments, they didn't seem too distracting to the story and none of the characters stuck out as incredibly annoying. So while still not being a great as the original, I found this a step up from the sequel.

should have only done one

Prior to this starting, I couldn't remember if I'd seen it before; then Téa Leoni appeared all hysterical and annoying and I remembered I had, I must have shunted the memory of this awfulness away in the deep recesses of my mind.
Why does this film even exist?

unnecessary

Seriously. STOP INTERACTING WITH DINOSAURS. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE YOUR FRIENDS. DON'T GO TO THEIR ISLAND.
Geeeeeez.
