Jurassic Park 3 |
|
Saw it: Wednesday, July 18, 2001 I don't understand why they made this movie with such a week script and story. I find it hard to believe that this looked good on paper as a whole. But that is too harsh of course, this really is an enjoyable movie. The movie is made up of a string of really great scenes, most are as good a ride as the best of the first two movies. But it was frustrating to see them so uninventively strung together. I knew going in that Spielberg didn't direct. I also knew that the music was not by John Williams. But I adjusted my expectations for that and so should you if you feel you have a sense for such things. I also managed to watch Jurassic Park and The Lost World the day before seeing JP3. All that did was make the difference in the music stand out (to me). I would not mind another installment in this franchise, but I hope they wait for a really good story before doing so. Lethal Weapon 4 was a great example of a good 4th installment after a bad 3rd movie. Though it doesn't need to be Spielberg, the director of JP4 needs to be a good actor's director; someone capable of really bringing the characters out of the actors (e.g. Bryan Singer or Stephen Frears). What do you think? JRF's Synopsis of Jurassic Park III (2001)Did I like it? Yes Final Thought? I read a few other reviews before seeing JP3 and I can't help agreeing that this movie was a great ride, but only a good movie. |
