What to Know

Critics Consensus

Jurassic Park III is darker and faster than its predecessors, but that doesn't quite compensate for the franchise's continuing creative decline.

Edward Jay Epstein Wall Street Journal Jurassic Park III exemplifies Hollywood's standard practice of stomping a brilliant concept beyond recognition. Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) At its best, it whips itself up into a nice, scary lather, but it shrivels to nothing between the set pieces, in an excess of fog, token bits of talk, and an absence of genuine, elemental awe. Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Imagine my surprise, then, to find that Jurassic Park III not only beats the first JP and its sequel The Lost World into a cocked pith helmet, but also manages to be a perfectly enjoyable monster movie in its own right. Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Jim Ross TAKE ONE Magazine ...it's a dull regression to the mean [of blockuster filmmaking]. Although [the regressive portrayal of heteronormativity and feminism] is not at the forefront of the film's concerns, it is indicative of the lack of imagination the film has. Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Michael D. Reid Victoria Times Colonist (B.C., Canada) The Westjet of summer popcorn movies, a no-frills hot-weather adventure that gets the job done efficiently and leaves you feeling vaguely satisfied, even if it doesn't knock your socks off. Rated: 3/5 Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Super to the lame Lost World, and hardly as riveting as the original. But let's face it: How many new Dino scenarios can writers muster up? Rated: B Apr 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jason P If anything, JP3 is worth a watch for the sake of the entire franchise having reached 6 (soon 7) films. While there are many issues with the films story, it still paints an important picture of the universe that is Jurassic Park/World. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Obi-wan K Just like the same Quality as the 2nd movie in my opinion Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Alexander S Jurassic Park III continues to deliver spectacular dinosaur sequences, but the third installment marks a turning point in the series. The story fails to introduce any fresh elements to elevate the dinosaur adventures to even greater heights. Instead, it resorts to excessive and uninteresting storytelling with characters we don’t care about. Grading: C Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Sean D Fun background move with a cool Spinosaurus just not as compelling as the first two Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Louis B The only thing that let this down was the start, I just don’t get what happened. Apart from that it was good. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Nathaniel W Very overhated film. Much better than the Lost World. Reccomended Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
