Jurassic Park 3 is MUCH better than we thought... 

It was never a bad movie , now everyone all of a sudden loves it

I have no hate towards T Rex, but I've seen so many of them in media to the point that where I get tired of seeing them, Spinosaurus was a nice change. The Velociraptors here are the best in the franchise with their unique design and their intelligence off the charts

3 had the most suspense and terror than any of the previous or future installments. The spinosaurus was scary. The setting was eery and hopeless. I loved it. The phone ringing in the belly scene is kinda dumb when you think about it but super terrifying if you can look past the obvious holes in logic. Aswell as the pterodactyls being terrifying

I *never* hated “Jurassic Park 3.” I’ve always enjoyed it _equally_ as much as the first two original films. I discuss why in my own review on my channel. On that note, “Dominion” *isn’t* a 100% terrible film IMHO, but I have come to recently recognize where and how it could’ve been improved upon. Fingers crossed (🤞) that this Extended Cut I’m hearing about will remedy at least some of its issues.

This film is honestly my favorite in the original trilogy. It's just so unique.

It was finally able to include a lot of things that were in the books but couldn't be done in the earlier movies. I've always liked it far more than the second movie, though it is far smaller in scale.

It took me having to watch the Jurassic World Series but as I’ve grown older, I have learned to appreciate JP3 more.

Now finally after 20 years the movie is getting the recognition it truly deserves!

No Joke this is actually my 2nd Favorite Jurassic Movie my first favorite was the original Jurassic Park. People got mad the T-Rex got killed by The Spinosaurus but I thought it was good reality and the movie is just showing how Spinosaurus is a bigger and badder antagonists.

I love and will always have a soft spot for the third installment of Jurassic Park. I grew up on this movie. And would say it's my favorite one of the films. It's got action, more dinosaurs and it's a simple yet engaging story. All in all it's a great time. :)

I'd rank the movie (My Opinion) 1. Jurassic Park 3 2. Jurassic Park 3. Jurassic World 4. Dominion 5. JWFK 6. The Lost World

I've always thought JP3 was an awesome movie. I had no idea it was so unliked

This whole comment section gives me hope for a proper Jurassic park 3 fandom and enjoyers

I always loved it. Could be because of nostalgia, after all, the original came out one year before I was born, and I was too young to watch the second one in theaters, so 3 was my first true "jurassic" experience in the cinema. I'll always remember how I came out of the cinema being absolutely blown away by the dinosaur action. I pretty much got all the toys and watching 3 was what got me to watch the VHS tapes of the first two movies over and over as a kid. Of course, I watched 3 on tape as well when I got it. I still keep those three tapes and treasure them. Because all these 3 movies were my childhood and I love them the same. Same with the infamous Spinosaurus vs T Rex debate. I'm a rare guy in the sense that I simply love both. Not even as a kid, I couldn't pick who was "better". I made both action figures fight each other and I had a blast, there was never a winner. So I don't know, I get why the first one is regarded as the best but I always thought its two sequels never get the love that they should. They've never been much worse in my eyes. They have the good dinosaur action and horror of the first film. And that's why we go see a Jurassic movie to begin with. I don't think that nostalgia blinds me either. I also think the first Jurassic World movie is a pretty solid film. But Fallen Kingdom and Dominion are truly worse and fall behind the 4 previous ones. Anyway I'm happy The Lost World and 3 are getting some love, after years of defending them from my part.

Never understood the hate this movie got. People think I’m crazy when I say I’d much rather watch it over _The Lost World,_ which isn’t bad, but I just prefer JP3.

As a kid I liked this movie but always thought the whole mobile phone ringing inside a dinosaur belly was stupid and hated that Grant and Ellie were not together. The movie itself was fun tho and still watch it from time to time. Much better than any of the world movies but maybe thats just me

This will always and forever be my favorite film in the franchise and one of my all time favorite films, it sucks that most people take it for granted even when the film had a rushed production

Jurassic Park III was NEVER the worst movie in this franchise, I always liked it and enjoyed it.

It was my second favorite film of the series before the JW trilogy and certainly afterwards now. You hit the nail on the head pretty much out of the gate for me: if I'm going to sit down for a subpar sequel, let's get to it with that shortest run time of the franchise. Plus some great thriller sequences in the aviary, the river barge attack, a brief hadrosaur stampede (my favorite group of dinos), and the most interesting raptors of the series. If the Kirbys had left their ugh-inducing marital issues at home, I would go out on a limb and even say it's a decently solid sequel considering its troubled production history.

I actually liked the spinosaurus

Well done JW sequels. Well done JPIII was certainly to me the least-good of the original trilogy. I'd hesitant to say it was plain bad or awful, that goes to Fallen Kingdom and Dominion, but at least here, there was danger, the Spino was a threat, and despite how dumb it was to get Grant to go back to the Islands, least there was a play between Billy/Eric and him to make it seem interesting. I do love the Dino-Saur jump Billy does to save Eric. It's got Joe Johnston too, not a bad hand, but the script was the real issue.

I never hated this movie. I enjoy all of them. I shouted my parents and myself to see the most recent film. The one thing about this movie. Is that it has the most terrifying and intimidating design of Raptors. Making it so. You can tell which is the male and which is the female.

With the three Jurassic World movies now existing, Jurassic Park III is far from being the worst Jurassic Park movie and it's criminally underrated, specially being that the first Jurassic World is unreasonably overrated in comparison and considered to be almost as good as the first Jurassic Park.

This is a great retrospective on Jurassic Park III. I appreciate the fact that you were able to discuss the film's greatness without glossy over its flaws. In my opinion, the first Jurassic Park film had the best story, the second Jurassic Park film had the best cinematography, and the third Jurassic Park film was the most tense and terrifying. None of them are perfect, but that's what fan fiction is for!

We were spoiled in the 90s. We didn’t know what we had.

Jurassic park 3 was NEVER the worst one in the franchise, it’s so great and entertaining. I’ll never understand how people can hate this movie people just have stupid and dumb reasons on why they hate this movie.

And 5 years ago I was mocked for having this exact hot take....

Not counting World, it is the most coherent. It's a good film and it's not overly preachy. The first 2 were garbage. The second one was slightly more coherent. Jurassic Park suffered under Spielberg's choices and Crichton's horrible horrible writing. And yet, somehow due to the choices made by Spielberg, he still managed to take out a lot of the parts Crichton actually did well. Jurassic Park got popular for 1 reason only. Flash. Flashy dinosaurs, flashy effects, flashy actors,... The books are objectively badly written and the movies are too. Regardless of personal feelings. At least JP3 was an actual film that mostly made sense, and had a decent amount of coherency. I used to love JP, and I still think the premise is amazing. But it's been done so horribly, I simply cannot overlook it with what I know today. I'd urge everyone to not listen to me and just close your eyes, pop on your rose-tinted goggles and have a good time, because I can't and it sucks.

What we now know about Spinosaurus is it looked nothing like in the movie and they would have no one on one battle with a T-Rex New fossils revealed that they had short hind legs and a paddle flat tail it was an aquatic dinosaur may have Spend its life in the water

You know I really enjoyed this movie i got it on dvd back in the day when it came out and I used it to fall asleep to lol! Very underrated Only person I wasn't a fan of in the movie was Alan's sidekick Billy lol

I have not watched Jurassic World Dominion yet but just saying every Jurassic Park movie is good and Jurassic World is kinda good but not as good as Jurassic Park!!

I always loved it. It was lean and linear in a good way. I know it’s a cliché and “serious” dino lovers like to groan at people whose fav is spinosaurus. But I’ve spent a lot of time learning about it 😊.

When I was a kid I would watch this movie all the time. The raptor scenes were always my favorite. Glad people are starting to give it a second try

People saying 3 was worse than 2 was always dumb. 2 was horribly boring.

Always thought this movie was was way too unfairly criticized. Everytime it's on I almost always watch it! As for everyone hating on the T-Rex getting killed off so quickly....get over it. It was the third movie, they had to do something different or JP3 would have REALLY been boring and stale with the T-Rex being the main "villian" again. The Spinosaurus killing it in JP3 doesn't take away it's mystique or status. I personally though the T-Rex/Spinosaurus battle was freaking cool and awesome seeing two apex predators battle it out. Also personally, the Spino got lucky the the T-Rex miscalculated an attack, if you go back and watch it, the T-Rex was actually at first dominating the Spino. But the Spino asserted it's dominance (long arms made the Spino much more dangerous), and made quick work of the T-Rex. So, yes, I enjoyed the movie...lol. And yes, comparing it to the latter two Jurassic World movies, it's way better than either of those.

I never thought it was a bad film, and I do find the Spinosaurus to be a pretty good rig, but I still think they could've given the mascot T-rex better respect than just giving it only one scene in the whole 90 minute movie which it was killed off like it didn't amount to a thing. It's kind of like they threw it in a dumpster, poured gasoline all over it, and lit a match.

To be fair the spinosaurus was genetically modified so it was stronger

Little things would’ve made it better. Trex getting a rematch, more explanation on things and other stuff like that.

The airstrip and bird cage set pieces are great. The others suffer from an over reliance on cgi. It's interesting to think what Spielberg might've done if he had a crack at it. That's not a dig at Joe Johnston btw. If the studio gave the project more time to plan, I think he could've made something truly wonderful.

I’ve learned heavy criticism of Jurassic Park 3 before Fallen Kingdom came out, but after watching it, I realize Fallen Kingdom is even worse than I thought. Not only fans are disappointed Spielberg didn’t direct, but they were also disappointed John Williams didn’t score the movie either. Despite flaws in some Jurassic movies, they still have incredible dinosaur action and I love Goldblum’s line “HANG ON TO SOMETHING!” in the second movie since it’s more intense with a genuine command. Also, in the future, can you make behind the scenes facts of Jurassic World: Dominion since you made five of those at the time Fallen Kingdom was out on DVD?

I loved the first sequence on the island. The scene with the derelict aviary was impressive, and gave the sense of scale the dinos need. I was just disappointed as a kid that we never got the hinted to sequel of the dinosaurs managing to travel to the mainland.

i’ve always loved this movie, the spino was my favorite when i was little until jp 3 came out i loved it instantly. I feel like it got hate mainly because the trex died from the spino, and other stuff but mainly that.

This was *_NEVER_* a bad movie. I can’t believe that people actually even hate this movie it’s fantastic and truly underrated and I’ve always loved it.

It was always a guilty pleasure movie for me. Sure, ton of issues, lot of stuff in it that doesn't make sense, annoying characters, I agree, but It definitely has a Jurassic atmosphere which I think the World trilogy lacks. The Spino and its version of the raptors are dope.

Can you upload The Princess and the Frog VS The Swan Princess next? Because I was searching and hard to find.

The only thing I didn't like about JP3 was the spinosaurus killing the movie's t-rex and taking over the role. Other than that, I've always enjoyed it.

What's funny is there is this trend lately where these people have hated on movies for years, but now that even newer releases are around for them to direct their hatred towards, it's "oh, well I guess x movie wasn't so bad." The most prominent example I can think of is the star wars prequels, but it's funny that the JP sequels are falling into this too. Here's my opinion on the third movie, which remains unchanged after the JW series. It was enjoyable. By no means a cinematic masterpiece, but the characters were fun, despite not seeming totally real. Paul and Amanda Kirby don't exactly strike me as the type of people who would violate international laws, kidnap a guide, and hire some mercenaries to go in person on a foot mission to rescue their son once the proper channels failed. But still, there were some pretty hilarious moments, especially with Paul. I actually liked Billy, and was okay with him living after his apparent sacrifice. I just wish it went into "how". Yes, the ending felt extremely rushed. But overall, I think if I had to describe this movie in two words, it would be "untapped potential". From the moment they discovered the Spino wasn't on Ingen's list, I was hoping the movie would go more in depth on what exactly ingen was doing. Grant should have noticed the spino was behaving abnormally for a predator, rather than just protecting a territory and hunting, it was extremely aggressive, taking unnecessary risks, actively pursuing the party outside of its territory, despite it being a lot of effort for very little reward. Maybe they find something in the compound, research data, etc. that if delivered, could be used to open up investigations into ingen. Idk. I would have certainly gone a different direction than "military dinosaurs" but I don't know exactly what, unless we really emphasize the mad scientist in Dr. Wu.

JP3 was really good, but one thing stopped it from being great, which was the Trex vs Spino fight. The Trex wouldn’t lose that fight and it only took like 9 seconds…

I liked this movie I really enjoy just wish the ending was better

Honestly. I seen JP3 in Theaters before. And it’s a Solid Mini Adventure with the High Stakes being put on the Onset of Survival for all the Characters. You honestly didn’t know which of the main cast Members was going to die after the Pterodactyl Attack and Billy basically getting Pecked to Death while going down a River! What made it even more crazy was the fact that there were Raptors and a Spino chasing them, adding an extra layer of danger! This film, for all its flaws, was well handled. But I do think it’s time to Spin-off from this Series and move away from its main cast. We need more Characters like the Kurbies who are Completely out of their Depth when dealing with Dinosaurs! It only makes sense.

One of my fav dinosaur movies! 🦕 🦖

I actually love the spinosaurus on the logo it looks really cool and better then just a T. rex

It was never bad. Better than TLW and ALL of the Jurassic World B.S. The short running time keeps it fast paced and the Spino is easily the BEST dinosaur in all 6 films. The Teradactyl scene is the best scene in the whole series.

I have always had soft spot for this movie

With each new instalment in the Jurassic franchise, fans and moviegoers start to appreciate it for what it is. It isn’t awful, cringe, or over the top…it’s perfect in many ways.

Love it or hate it, I'll always love this movie because the Spino is my second favorite dinosaur

I dislike the way the Spinosaurus is revealed so early once they land on the island and in such a big bombastic scene which belonged later in the film. The end is also rather sudden.

Everyone hated it because they thought the grass was greener on the other side. The grass is not greener.

I like to think that the T Rex died because it had already hunted and eaten another dinosaur before fighting the Spino. It must have been tired after a hunt.

Was just too short. Needed at least another half an hour added to it.

I wanted a raptor whistle SO bad as an 11 year old watching this film in the theater.

Great review! Jurassic Park is my favorite movie of all time. And not only that, it's one of my favorite books. I actually just made a video on my channel going through a lot of the books, movies, and games that make up the franchise. Sound off in the comments section! Would love to hear what your favorites are.

I always liked this one and never understood why people got so bent out of shape over a one second dream sequence.

I always liked JPIII. Granted it wasn't as good as the first but those films - especially the 1st - left some massive shoes to feel. JPIII has no deep and meaningful moral behind it and has some major scrpiting flaws but as a piece of sit down, break out the popcorn and switch off your brain escapism it does better than a great many films.

It was the actors demand to keep billy alive. He should have been dead. But the actor who played him apparently fought to keep the character alive at the end.

After the fallen kingdom and dominion films, JP3 gained more worth for me. I wished that in dominion we would see the JP3 and tiger raptors instead of the Pyro and Attrociraptors again and in the end scene the Spinosaurus.

Say what you will about Kelly but at least her story makes some sense

Well, the Star Wars sequel trilogy has led many people to reevaluate the quality of the prequels, which have been maligned for many years, so perhaps a silver lining can be gleaned from the dark cloud of a terrible recent entry in a franchise. I've grown to appreciate Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, after the later Terminator movies were each more disappointing than the last. And I've even seen some praise for Predator 2 in recent years, after a number of false starts in that series, as well.

JP3 has always been my favourite!

I never thought was bad. I actually liked it

I love the movie!

This wmovie was my introduction to the JP franchise, as a 6 year old, so it has a special place in my heart.

I love jp3 I actually think jw2 is the worst film in the series. JP3 and jw3 are pretty even. 7/10’s. But I hate the fact that the spino killed the T. Rex. It just didn’t feel right. I like the spino I think her design (yes it’s female according to jp3 merch) and I’m glad a lotta people like the Dino it deserves more attention and is getting a lot. Maybe too much now. But maybe just cuz I’m a Rex fan is why I say that. Either way. Like I say. I think minus killing the Rex it’s a pretty decent fun popcorn film 🎞️ same with JW3 imo. I wish I could say the same for jw2 but that one felt flat for me. 1. JP A+ 2. Lost world B- 3. JW1 B- 4. JP3 C- 5. JW3 C- 6. Jw2 D+

It had no cards to play with so it struggled (no source material like previous 2). I always liked it. Saw in theaters twice. I very much dislike the World movies but the Indoraptor mansion scene was cool and scary I admit.

This movie is my second favorite movie out of both Jurassic trilogies. I don’t care what people say about it, the movie was entertaining from start to finish, gave us the Spinosaurus, brought back Alan Grant, and was full of suspenseful action scenes. And I for one think that the short runtime helps this movie rather than hindering it, because the time is well used to create the sense of urgency that just pulls you into the movie

The only good thing about World is the PC game. I can't speak to the sequel, but the first one where you manage a park? It's great. I was pleasantly surprised because I despise the World films and its characters. And even though you may have to sit through these mind-numbing characters in certain modes at certain points, it's bearable, because the gameplay is very enjoyable.

It was always a good movie

This is my first movie I ever saw in a theater and came out on my 11th birthday….always have a soft spot for it.

JP 3 ISN"T a good movie. it's just not as good as the first 2... the writers really half-assed putting the movie together. I think it had a lot of potential, but its just not a good movie. Sure there are scenes that aren't bad, but every bad movie has decent scenes in them. with that said, I haven's seen the JW movies yet. but at the same time I'm expecting them to be worse than JP3 (cause that's what im hearing).

The plane scene was amazing, when they were taking off and the guy is waving about to be hit, and then boom he gets eaten!

idk.. i get its not a masterpiece but nothing comes close to doing what the original did. I just cant bring myself to dislike dominion. i thought it was fun and exciting, sure its missing that classic dino charm but its got its moments and overall i like the film

Finally!!!! Thank you for this video I actually love this movie

That's cause Fallen Kingdom & Dominion were both so unbelievably abysmal and destroyed the JP franchise's legacy for absolutely no good reason at all.

Indeed 😁

They did it because they wanted it to be that way, but spinnosaurus would probably not win a fight against a t.rex.

The main criticisms I've heard is that it's plot isn't as good as the original. But I'd argue that trying to be as complex as the original has made two of the three Jurassic World entries fall flat.

finally someone that gets gets me i always loved this movie i love the simplicity put how unique it is to the whole franchise it just stood out the most

When i first heard that people didn't like this movie i was suprised i always thought that the second one was the least favourite

JP3 is at least better than any of the jurassic world movies.

my first JP movie in theaters, loved it then and love it now

This is my favorite one 🤷🏻‍♀️

Never called it terrible. Never have to realize it's good because it is from the first time i saw it.

I have always thought iii was way better than Lost World. I have always like Tea Leoni and William H. Macey so I thought they were a great addition. I also liked Sam’s return as a guy who keeps on doing what he’s known for despite its seaming irrelevancy now that there’s living animals.

I cannot really explain, why I've always preferred this movie over "The Lost World". Something about it is just visually and atmospherically more pleasing to me, which is weird, because it's supposed to be the same island.

And you realized that like 2 decades after?

JP 3 is easy to watch, action-packed, and as mentioned in the video, doesn’t overstay its welcome. It's not a 2hr+ commitment. I like it more than the Lost World. That film is way too long and boring and nothing draws me back to watching it.

This was always better than all of the Jurassic World films, but I'm afraid that's not saying much. There are PARTS of this movie I really like, but just like how Joe Johnston didn't have Spielberg's clout, this movie didn't have the same charm Spielberg's films did, despite their flaws. I think it says a lot that even as a ten year old kid when this came out, I was left unfulfilled, and disappointed. Sure, I tried to convince myself for a few years that I enjoyed it, but as I got older, that got more difficult. So, congrats to this movie for not being the worst JP sequel anymore. I guess..

I always liked it better than the second one.

Part 3 is more rewatchable than the first one imo

This has always been my favorite JP movie!!!
