Jake P This should not be considered a Jurassic Park movie. I came here to watch the dinosaurs, and there were almost no moments with them. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/25 Full Review Charlie P It lacks the wonder and writing of the first film but still nails the terror and suspense. Unfortunately the characters leave much to be desired. 6/10 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/04/25 Full Review Audience Member After Michael Crichton wrote "Jurassic Park" in 1990, Steven Spielberg took the challenge to have a film adaption by 1993. Spielberg, for the most part, stayed consistent with the book, making minor changes to keep the movie entertaining in its 2 hour runtime. Crichton then wrote his sequel to the story, much anticipated but a little disappointing after the original. It brought in new characters, but gave readers a lot of intro but only a couple of action set pieces. The novel has Dr Richard Levine, mentor and instructor, going to the island and finding remains of an unknown animal. He conducts another expedition for proof and gets stuck, and it is up to Ian Malcolm and Jack "Doc" Thorne to rescue him, requesting Sarah Harding to arrive when she can. It also has Lewis Dodgson, from the 1st film, as an antagonist bent on stealing dinosaur eggs. There are 2 students, Kelly and Arby, who stowaway on the trip. Eddie Carr, equipment expert, is on the trip, but his character is described more like the movie's Nick, particularly in age. The book has a slow burn beginning, but from the time they set a baby T-rex's leg and the parents try to push the vehicle over the cliff (which Spielberg translates to the letter in the film), it runs on all thrusters. Spielberg must have taken a long hard look at the novel, and knew, it wouldn't work as a film. So he sets his own story, one that has more action from the beginning to keep the viewers interest - it is a summer movie, after all. Before judging this film as such a disappointment, I recommend you read the novel, and then understand how Spielberg used some of Crichton's ideas and incorporated it in this attempt as a summer crowd pleaser. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Audience Member Don’t think it’s the best, worst golf the franchise actually, I don’t really like the plot here. And I don’t like the main character(nothing against Jeff Goldblum) I just don’t find the character likable, but that’s just me🦖 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Professional D The san diego part was the most boring. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Ross W First off, I'm not saying this movie is perfect, no movie is. I am saying is this movie is a great time to watch. And yes, I do like it a little better than the first Jurassic Park. It's darker, a little more intense, and more action driven. If Spielberg sees this, I want to let him know that he should be proud of this movie because it's just plain fun. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
