The third Jurassic Park was my least favorite one without a doubt. I don’t think it was a bad movie; it’s just hard to call it one of the Jurassic Parks. Especially considering that this time around the Jurassic Park franchise was no longer being directed by Steven Spielberg, nor was there a Michael Crichton novel to base it off of either. Steven Spielberg may have helped produce the film, but Joe Johnston ended up directing it. I feel that the plot of the third film hurt it more than anything. It just simply did not add much to the overall story like the first two did. It definitely had its exciting moments and even introduced some new dinosaurs, but that was not enough to redeem it in my opinion. Being an old school Jurassic Park fan, I wasn’t too thrilled about the major color and dinosaur changes of the logo either. The first two Jurassic Park movie logos had the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but it was changed to the Spinosaurus instead. With the upcoming Jurassic World, the logo now looks more like the first one did. The return of Sam Neil (Dr. Alan Grant) and Laura Dern (Dr. Ellie Sattler) did help bring back some familiar faces to the film. The third Jurassic Park came out back in 2001, at that time I had outgrown playing with dinosaur toys and reading dinosaur books. So a lot of the childhood excitement I had with the first two Jurassic Park films sadly was now gone. This time around I just went to see this particular Jurassic Park just once in theaters with my mom. Back in my middle school math class I would talk to my friend about the teaser/trailer that we had seen. We were both pretty excited for it at the time. Like the last two Jurassic Park movies, I got this one for Christmas later in the year. I accidently stumbled upon it while “looking” in the bottom of our dining room cabinet. When I finally did get it for Christmas, it ended being the least watched of the Jurassic Park movies. The ending of Jurassic Park III was definitely a major disappointment; it’s almost as if the creators of the movie were just looking for something quick & easy to put an ending to the film. Hopefully, Jurassic World will be able to put this grand dinosaur movie franchise back on track.
