    Has to be the sorriest excuse for a reprise since "Highlander — The Final Dimension."

    Game ride that makes the two previous installments look like models of classic filmmaking.

    The "Jurassic Park" movie franchise does not evolve. Quite the opposite: It degenerates at great speed.

    I love this movie. The mere fact that they brought it out just for more 'jurassic park action' is good enough for me.

    I love this movie! While not as good as the first and second movie, i still enjoy it. Also, i LOVE the Spinosaurus, but my favorite Dino is still the T-Rex.… Full Review »
