Simply Perfect

Powerful

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is a classic. You know the names of every character, the effects still hold up, it's suspenseful and awesome, it's fast paced and well acted with the occasional funny line or dramatic moment. I'll say it again, this movie is a classic, and a must watch for anyone who loves film. Jurassic Park gets 96%

Jurassic Park was such an event movie that it reinvigorated the dinosaur craze all on its own in the early 90s. This is a great popcorn film based on the Michael Crichton novel and features some of the most iconic and well known scenes in cinema history. To this day Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Dern are most known for playing Alan Grant, Ian Malcolm and Ellie Satler respectively. Spielberg is low on characterization- a sentiment echoed by many well known critics upon the film's release but when the Dinos are chomping on people the way the T-Rex does here- why complain? Jurassic Park has already attained mythical status and its stature shall only increase with each passing day.

Jurassic park is an average film- I didn't like it as much- perhaps this is so because I watched it at an age where adult worldly concerns because too overbearing to completely let go and immerse in a 2-hour excursion into the prehistoric. But its not just that. The plot is bare, and the characters are cookie-cutter. Sure, I don't expect Shakespeare in a movie about giant lizards, but they could have etched the characters out more. Having said that the film is entertaining, and the special effects are outwardly. The dinosaurs look and feel like real breathing reptiles- thanks to the great work by Stan Winston and co. Regardless of my opinion this is a monster of a movie.

I actually did not see this until I was 18. I was a sheltered child, and that may have played a factor. The movie was very good and intense. My heart pounded in many parts, especially the near end part where the kids are chased. The reason I give it a 9 is in the title of my review. The PARK is entertaining, but the first roughly 15 minutes drags. It's still good and is a classic worth seeing.
