Jurassic Park 3
Mm. Here's where the well of inspiration starts to run dry. The way people are got back on the island with the illicit tourist operation going wrong is quite plausible. But then the script seems to think it's a family comedy including weak humour at the expense of scares. The dinosaurs for the first time are largely irrelevant. They could have been any type of dangerous animal.
Sam Neil is of course excellent and the pterodactyls are very good and that sequence works surprisingly well.
But I really wish they killed off Tea Leoni near the start or at least told her to stop shrieking.
You can tell the film makers are running out of ideas. If nothing else the film is about half an hour shorter than the others. This is often a good thing but in this case I thin they couldn't think of anything else top include.
Somewhat entertaining but far from a classic and not a patch on the previous 2.
5/10
