Telling it as it is!
The film that I wanted to see last week but ended up seeing Cats and Dogs instead. Now I wish that I and waited for the Park!
Okay JP3 is not original, a bit (okay very) predictable, but as sequels go this is above standard.
Set again on the second island from JP2 The Lost World, Sam Neill (JP1) is tricked into going pack to Jurassic Park to rescue William H Macy and Tea Leoni's kid who accidentally crashed on to the island!
From the start you can tell the dino bait from the survivors and Director Joe Johnston makes this feel like a Jurassic Park movie with the help of John Williams original JP1 score.
The dinosaurs are excellent as usual and the winged dinosaurs make an excellent twist to the mix. Again the Raptors steal the show for pure frights.
JP3 has likable characters, great special effects and as summer movies go this is above the rest of this and recent years 'blockbusters'.
If they can continue to produce JP sequels like this I look forward to JP4.
Rating: ***.
