Not as awe-inspiring as the first film or as elaborate as the second, but in its own B-movie way, it's a nice little thrill machine.
What makes it worth sitting through is the chance it offers to catch up on the technical advances since the last installment.

Jurassic Park 3 is underrated movie. I know it's short but that makes the movie speedy and not boring.
Report
Joe Johnston is proving that even the movie is not 2 hours long like two previous movie and also without Spielberg's sit on a director chair, Jurassic Park III is still incredible, Jurassic Park III can be a bad movie if you are really like The Lost World, but it can be a really good movie if you don't like or even hate The Lost World so much like me.
Report
The screenplay is so stale that even fans of the previous "Jurassic" installments might think this is one clone too many.
At its best, Jurassic Park III is eerily similar to some of the more recent dinosaur-themed video games on the market.
With Joe Johnston directing instead of Spielberg, who executive-produces, and a scrum of screenwriters, none named Crichton, the franchise suffers some negligence.
Has to be the sorriest excuse for a reprise since "Highlander — The Final Dimension."
Drama is minimal and character nonexistent.
Well i mean its no masterpiece like the original but its still a really fun movie and deffintly overlooked

No longer a theme park. People still go to the island. A small group gets stranded on the island, and encounters the dinosaurs.

I figured I saw the first two, I might as well see this one, too. Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) is tricked into going to the second island by Amanda (Tea Leoni) and Paul (William H. Macy) Kirby, who are looking for their missing son Eric (Trevor Morgan). A few supporting players go, too, to provide food for the dinosaurs without caring about the loss of their characters. There is lots of running, a climax that never happens, and the promise of another sequel that wouldn't come.Forgive the short synopsis, the truth is this film steals tons from the first two films. There is a "dinosaur poop" scene, and another character supposedly dies and we must waste our time watching for him to appear hurt but alive. I would compare this film to the awful "Back to the Future Part II." It was also released to kind of tie-in the future episodes, but does not stand well on its own. If you are going to continue a major action franchise, you would think the third film would be even bigger than the first two. No such luck here. The special effects run hot and cold. Good dinosaur graphics, but what is with the script? The film makers decided the audience wants nothing but dinosaur attacks, and throws in all sorts of them. These do not seem to take on any sort of breakneck speed, this just looks like a resume tape for Stan Winston's special effects. This is a greatest hits compilation of people getting chased, attacked, and eaten, in all its PG-13 gory glory, without any sort of suspense or scares. Action scenes would start, like the dinosaur at the steel fence, then end as the humans would run away, talk, then get chased again. Would everyone stop teaming Sam Neill with children? The teenage boy here is better than the lovey-dovey cutesy-wutesey duo from the first film, but I was sick of seeing his heart melted by youth. Speaking of youth, I literally cannot remember anything about Neill's young protege, Billy (Alessandro Nivola). His character is so vacuous and laid back, he disappears from the screen. I kept thinking "who is that? oh, yeah, Billy with some stolen raptor eggs." Macy and Leoni are okay, but better than this material. If you have seen the first two, you might as well see "Jurassic Park III" as well. It is not any good, but when has that stopped a major motion picture studio from shoving a middling franchise down our throats?

Jurassic Park 3 was a bad movie and unnecessary sequel. This movie didn't have charm, originality and grasping power like the original. Instead, it was boring, unnecessary and sufficient to give you headache.
The concept was very bad and so much simple for this franchise. The direction and the acting wasn't that good. I also missed the original cast. I don't know why studios agreed to make a 3rd movie when it didn't have a proper story instead, it was just a rescue mission for a boy who went alone paragliding. Seriously? Overall, this is a bad movie and weakest in the franchise, which I think should not have been made as it effected the classiness of the franchise.
