one of the worst sequels ever!!!! (spoilers included)
28 August 2001
Warning: Spoilers
As a moviegoer, I felt insulted after watching this load of crap! This sequel ranks up as a stinker like Jaws 3 & 4. JP 3 is a perfect example of how Hollywood's creative endeavors have become extinct!

I had the impression this movie was written and produced in the same day. The script is sooooo flimsy, the dinosaurs have more personality than the human characters, and all the cell phone antics are so idiotic. The movie is so lame the original musical score from the original JP movie was reused (talk about lazy)! And for crying out loud, the lame-ass scene including a Barney the dinosaur cameo makes JP3 an utter joke. And for all Sam Neil's character boasting of how the Raptors are so intelligent, the Raptors get fooled into his blowing into a Raptor fossil (and magically reproducing their sound)! Oh yeah, the raptors are looking right at the doctor. So much for superior intelligence. The boy who miraculously survived on the island for so long by himself hardly looks like he has been fighting for his life from ferocious and savvy dinosaurs. He looks as if he as been staying at a Holiday Inn-all clean and well-fed and poorly disguising himself with leaves and branches.

The only part of this movie that had some decency (other than when it is finally over) was with the Pterodactyls. However, the movie demands great leaps of faith from its viewers. The boy gets taken by a flying dinosaur and dropped onto a nest. The doctor's assistant miraculously puts on a glider and soars through a dense pea-soup fog and finds the boy with no problem. Yeah right! Later, four pterodactyls are seen chomping on the rescuing man, but at the end of the movie all he has is a like a scratch on his shoulder! I guess those particular pterodactyls were vegetarians.

The lake scene with the Spinosaur is completely laughable! The viewer is supposed to believe that a cell-phone will faithfully and perfectly slide up and down a boat while a ferocious spinosaur is shaking the same boat like a rag doll. Please!!!

The ending of the movie is an absolute abomination! The ending is proof that the so-called writers had no clue how to write a script. The army shows up to save everyone! What a joke! I actually felt this is where the movie could have been entertaining.the army could have engaged in heavy artillery fire with the dinosaurs! But no, the ferocious dinosaurs are now no where to be found and everyone gets to leave the island as if punching out the time clock at work!

I sincerely hope this is the last JP sequel!!!! 1/3 star out of 5!
