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.

Joe Williams St. Louis Post-Dispatch A roaring success. Rated: 3/4 Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald The third film is neither as scary nor as serious as the first two. It borrows heavily from its predecessors and the Alien series, and runs out of energy. Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Jack Mathews New York Daily News Still, JP3 suffers from second-sequel fatigue and lacks a star who can boost its energy. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Steve Persall Tampa Bay Times We've grown too accustomed to computers and puppets defying evolution. Rated: C+ Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Bob Ross Tampa Tribune A desultory sequel disguised as a thrill ride. Rated: C- Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Nanciann Cherry Toledo Blade The dinosaurs are still scary, and the special effects are often grand, but the sense of wonder and awe are gone.

Daniel M Great film, ive rewatched it a couple times its definitely one of my favourites from the Jurassic Park/World Franchise Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Kevin R JP3 actually isn’t a bad movie, but having been given two Spielbergs in a row that build up somewhat similarly, expectations were high among fans. The difference lies in the plot: where the first instalment was about reviewing a zoo and the second one was about protecting a habitat, it shows that to cater the fans you need a movie that pays tribute to an ecological message. Instead, they went for a rescue mission. But these movies shouldn’t be about humans. They should be about dinosaurs. The spinosaurus is well done but its size should’ve been more impressively portrayed in its first apearance immediately, rather than depending on the fight with the T-Rex later on. This is why the spinosaurus attacking the airplane didn’t really make me feel it, which came at the cost of not initially seeing the beautiful irony of the entire professional mercenary team getting eaten as soon as they set foot on the island. Macy and Leoni make for believable exes, they did well to keep kids out of the movie as much as possible, but the character of Billy had no reason to come along other than to force a subplot with velociraptors. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/23/25 Full Review Movie V I always see people hating on this movie and I get it and it understandable but I can't lie but love thus movie with another of this and I'm not saying this movie is as good as the first too but omg sino was the best I think people who have the movie cause of the one first are dumb but anyways it a good watch and I will always back down this movie Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Colin M. Nothing will come close to the first one, and I’m afraid the Jurassic World’s will be the same result. But there’s no denying they’re entertaining, even if the story is lackluster. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Amat P The movie has dinosaurs Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Audience Member It pisses me off every time Amanda Kirby(played by Téa Leoni) is screaming whenever something happens and she yells “ERIC” about 1,000 times throughout just the first half of the movie. This movie would be 3+ stars if she wasn’t so annoying all of the time. Worst movie in the Jurassic park trilogy. Also bad character development and pacing throughout the whole film. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
