Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

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.

Jack Mathews

Anything, Steven, anything would be better than making us watch the same movie again. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

Another of many recent Hollywood plotless wonders. Read full review

David Sterritt

The screenplay is so stale that even fans of the previous "Jurassic" installments might think this is one clone too many. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

When a cell-phone gag is the most exciting or inventive thing in a big summer dinosaur movie, you have to wonder if the species might not be ready for extinction. Read full review

John Leonard

With Joe Johnston directing instead of Spielberg, who executive-produces, and a scrum of screenwriters, none named Crichton, the franchise suffers some negligence. Read full review

Peter Travers

Stinks worse than dino dung. Sure, the creatures look good. Read full review

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

A bit shorter than I would have liked but still loads of dinosaurs and loads of actions.Making the film a bit longer and including a bit more story wouldn't hurt but still a fantastic film and one of my favourites.

Unpopular opinion but I prefer this to the second one, Dr Grant is back, its on an island and the Dinosaurs are developed further. Spino is great as a new addition (even if it could never have really taken the TRex), the Pteranodons are creepy and the Velociraptors improve again!

Has its moments, but this is a pretty poor third film that doesn't do anything new or interesting.

Not A Good Movie
Jurassic Park III is pretty infuriating considering that the the previous 2 were very entertaining movies.

One of those third installments that makes the whole trilogy (or franchise) awful, not just the movie itself. Jurassic Park III had a terrible plot, so terrible that it shouldn't have been made.

The movie absolutely, positvely sucked! Iam one of the biggest dinosaur enthusiasts in the world and have no idea why they used spinosaurus, a dinosaur puny compared to the famous tyrannosaurus rex, to be the star. if they wanted to have a good movie, they would have stuck with t-rex, had The movie absolutely, positvely sucked! Iam one of the biggest dinosaur enthusiasts in the world and have no idea why they used spinosaurus, a dinosaur puny compared to the famous tyrannosaurus rex, to be the star. if they wanted to have a good movie, they would have stuck with t-rex, had spino as a side character, and killed spino when t-rex gets his mouth around spino's neck! also, they put the fight scene too early in the movie.… Expand
