Jurassic Park III (2001) review

The awesome movie poster

Here we go, now I've watched all three Jurassic Parks and I'm locked and ready for Jurassic World hitting theaters in just under 4 days. When Eric (Trevor Morgan) and his mother's boyfriend Ben Hildebrand (Mark Harelik) go boat towing by the Isla Sorna or the mysterious Site B where the events of the previous film took place, their boat captain mysteriously disappears and their boat crashes. Eight weeks later a man by the name of Paul Kirby (William H. Macy) approaches Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neil) to be his guide on a trip he and his wife are taking over Isla Sorna. Alan is low on budget for his digging site and with further convincing by one of his helpers Billy Brennan (Alessandro Nivola) he agrees to go back into the environment of living dinosaurs, hoping to fund his research.

It is confirmed that real animatronic dinosaurs were used for this film

You might have noticed how I tried my best to zoom through the introduction because now I want to give to my opinion piece. Critics had me ballin' on this one, mainly because the entire time I was trying to see the enormous flaws they saw, yet I found none. Of coarse there are little flaws here and there which kind of illustrates and further reminds us of Spielberg's absence but Joe Johnston does the best a non-Steven Spielberg director can. "THIS IS A HERBIVORE and he is the dinosaur man!" It shows us Alan and Ellie (Laura Dern)'s life after the events of the first movie. The lucky bag is here again. Alan Grant is brought back with to perfection by Sam Neil. There's a talking velociraptor. The Kirbys make the story close to the former movies, people new to dinosaurs. This time the T-Rex isn't the threat which is refreshing There's more blood. The animatronics are still there which already makes it a good movie. The charm and the tension of the former movies are restored to some point. Eddie was the hero last time and now Billy is a GODDAMN HERO!!!! Dinosaur shit saves lives. Fun fact: It was 250 pounds of oatmeal. Now that I have stated the great things about the movie let me tell you the couple of flaws here and there. Spoiler Alert!!!!! Billy lives. Which takes away from the stakes of the movie. In the last movies when someone died they stayed dead which set the stakes even higher. And the ending where the marines and the navy showed up made little to no sense whatsoever. In the end of all I can barely shave 2 point because of these plot points, so this movie gets an 8/10. Can't wait for Jurassic World.
