brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Reasonably entertaining bit of fluff. The visual FX are well below the standard set by the great Ray Harryhausen, The girl is pretty, the hero is suitably heroic, the caveman is good hearted, and the kid isn't too annoying. I have a special fondness for this one because of my memories of seeing it at the drive-in.

I grew up loving this movie and having watched this movie again recently, I see that Dinosaurus! hasn't lost its charm. Not many things are better than stop-motion dinosaurs going around scaring the heck out of people. So, let's travel back in time and have a look.On a tropical island, a construction crew was trying to build a harbor when their dynamite unearths two dinosaurs frozen in suspended animation: a ferocious Tyrannosaurus rex and a peaceful Brontosaurus. The town's jerk of a mayor also discovers a Neanderthal in the same state. When lightning strikes, the prehistoric beings are brought to life. A poor local boy befriends both the Brontosaur and caveman while the T-rex terrorizes the island, killing many in his path. As prehistory and modern times collide, who will survive? Man or reptile?The movie has plenty of charm to it. A few human characters were interesting while others are unlikable. The stop-motion and close-up puppetry of the creatures are quite good and the scenes with the caveman interacting with modern objects are pretty funny. My favorite part of the movie is when the dinosaurs battle to the death! It's pure, primal carnage and I love it! If your getting bored before this point, this scene is sure to wake you up. I also like the final fight between the T-rex and the tractor (which inspired the ending for "Carnosaur"). Nothing like monster vs machine.I only have a few complaints. I've felt that they killed off the Brontosaur a little too early by having him wander into quicksand. The least they could do is indicate that he might have died only for him to return and sacrifice himself by charging at the T-rex and both fall into the ocean. I would also like to see more than two interactions between the boy and the Brontosaur but that's a minor complaint.I love this movie and I would like to see a remake of it, maybe exclude the caveman to allow more quality time between the boy and his dinosaur, make the T-rex more scary, and have the suggested ending I mentioned earlier. Check this dinosaur flick out and enjoy. ROOOAAR!!!

The third (and least) of the three successive Jack H. Harris/Irwin S. Yeaworth Jr. collaborations I have watched is, unfortunately, marred by an overly juvenile approach and a completely anonymous cast. Nuclear bomb tests in a Mexican village unearth a Brontosaurus, a Tyrannousaurus Rex and even a Neanderthal man; the latter is befriended by an obnoxious kid while, at the same time, being targeted by the villain (the boy's sadistic guardian) for exploitation purposes as a potentially lucrative sideshow attraction! There is the expected havoc by the dinosaurs, of course, though none of it is remotely memorable, I am sorry to say. Apparently, Steve McQueen was originally intended to star in this as well but, owing to how difficult he proved to be during the shooting of THE BLOB (1958), he was replaced by the bland Ward Ramsey. For what it is worth, the highlight of this film are not the cut-rate special effects but the amusing sequence depicting the cavemen at bay in the modern-day settings of a kitchen and living room! Useless bit of trivia: all three of these Harris-Yeaworth movies that I watched amusingly end {sic} with a question mark next to "The End" title!

Honestly, 4.4/10?!? It wasn't that bad! I haven't seen this film in awhile and I decided to watch in again today.Its a pretty good film for its time.Sure, the acting is a little cheesy, but its a great movie! Ahh, yes, IMDb's plot for the movie. ''...After undersea explosions near a Caribbean island, prehistoric creatures are unleashed on the unsuspecting population. Freed from his watery tomb, as well, is a very friendly Neanderthal man who proceeds to befriend a local orphan boy. The boy, Neanderthal and irritated dinosaur make for an interesting dramatic climax.'' Couldn't explain the plot any better.The Neanderthal man who has also come back along with the dinosaurs, is actually a caveman! He can give you a good laugh every once in awhile.He is just hilarious.This is an awesome movie to pop in the VCR and watch on a Saturday night.You should really check it out if you're a into dinosaurs, like I am.10/10!
