Yes, this one is the worst of the three, but it is still very good!

Summary
Pretty good.
Content
No, Michael Crichton did not write a book before this movie was made, and it shows. This movie was all about action, and there wasn't much science stuff involved. The story is pretty simple, and there were some wacky part in this movie. The raptors were radically changed; now they have feathers pointing out of their heads, there heads were a bit longer, and some part of them near their heads is PURPLE AND BLUE. I AM NOT JOKING. It looks dumb, and takes away from the movie. When I saw it, I'm just like, "What the crap is that??" Weird. Another thing, the second movie was on Isla Sorna, and there was no sightings or mention of a Spinosaurus. Don't get me wrong, the Spinosaurus is my fave dinosaur in the JP series. That just seemed weird. All in all, a great movie. A ton of fun, and it rocks. Buy the whole JP series, trust me, you'll like every single one!!!!

Summary
Best of the series!
Content
This is even better than the first or second Jurassic Park movies! I loved the fighting, the love, the humor, the gore, the intense sequences, and of course the old school and new dinosaurs! It was so wicked and fun to watch this, and I most certainly have seen it a lot more than once! The fight between the T-Rex and the enormous Spinosaurus was just about my favorite part, and the final fight in the air and water was the next runner-up! And, of course, the sound was as good as it should be, too! This movie was a great ending to a great series and I think everyone who has seen the first two need to see this! IT'S PERFECT! PERFECT! PERFECT! PERFECT! I demand you to get it now! SEE IT, IN THE NAME OF LOVE! NOOOOOW!!!!

Summary
A Better Lost World
Content
Sequels often suffer from being either too plotty (Lost World) or too reminiscent (Die Hard 2). Jurassic Park III under the control of "Rocketeer" Director Joe Johnston does neither. With this film he is saying "Look, people want to see dinosaurs" and he does that. He works well in the arena that Steven Spielberg thrust him, mixing appropriate fun with dangerous thrills and spills. The storyline is simple. Heck, there is hardly a storyline at all, just 'crash and escape.' This is something I doubt we would have seen with Spielberg at teh helm. The effects are magical with the 'live-action' dinos as well as the CGI (Its awfully hard to tell the difference thanks to Stan Winston). Based on an 'original' script that borrows from things that were unfilmable in the first 2 books, we are introduced to Flying dinos as well as the spinosaurus. So, sit down, fasten your seat belt. Keep your hands and arms inside the plane... You're in for one heck of a ride.

Summary
The Spinosaur is cool
Content
JP III is a solid action movie with a thin script and more great effects. It was also good to see Sam Neill back as Alan Grant. Dr. Grant is paid by a wealthy couple to join them in a flyover of the island from The Lost World and act as a tour guide. He reluctantly agrees and takes his assistant with him. The couple has lied to him however. They are actually going on a rescue mission. Their 12-year old son was parasailing with his mother's new boyfriend when there was an accident and they crash landed on the island.
There are a few new dinosaurs which make this movie interesting. The Spinosaur, who is bigger and meaner than the T Rex (and in fact takes down a Rex in a great fight sequence) and pterodons who look great gliding through the air. Good parts of the script are the action scenes especially with the Spinosaur and some good humor. Bad parts are that William H. Macy and Tea Leoni are irritating as the divorced couple and the fact that they survive until the end is hard to believe. Harder to believe is that the 12 year old son survives for 8 weeks by himself. The rescue party was down two members ten minutes after landing.
Ignore the script holes and watch the dinosaurs. This is still a pretty good movie.
