Relatively decent entertainment that doesn't pretend to be an action blockbuster because it's not. It's the shortest, least extravagant, but possibly also the most dynamic. We are introduced to a truly blessed amount of dinosaurs, with the two largest ones practically at the beginning. The action is quite imaginative, occasionally too focused on the visual effects, but it can be endured. It's not Spielberg's grandeur, but this time it doesn't matter. Sam Neill is equally good, and the others have nothing to be ashamed of. The third time around, the fun is slightly exhausted, but for a single watch? Why not.

Yes, yes, action, fun, dinosaurs, great special effects... But the original magic is gone. Spielberg is simply missing from Jurassic Park. I didn't even get the feeling that the lizards were alive this time. Of the three stars, one goes to Sam Neill, one to ILM and Stan Winston, and one to the action sequences (the dinosaur fight, the Pteranodon cage).

High-quality craftsmanship that honestly fulfilled the mediocre screenwriting ambitions. The two biggest dinosaurs are shown to us right from the start, followed by a lot of solid action (and inherent illogic), and in the last third we get a very enjoyable and previously unseen airborne surprise. All of this packed into a short runtime that won’t let you look at your watch even once.

A fantastic action ride with a healthy dose of clichés, but surprisingly with enough chase sequences and once again an amazing feeling of discovering animals. Additionally, the flying creatures at the end are a very successful revitalization. After the botched second installment, an unexpected flood of triumphant aces in combination with the "second Spielberg" Johnston.

I like this a little more than the second one, but mainly because this movie doesn't pretend to be anything and is almost pure B-movie. Also, because Sam Neill is in it, and he is my favorite in the whole series. Additionally, there are aerial dinosaurs in this one, who only had a small cameo in the previous film. It's bad, but not that much.
