Should be buried along with the Dinosaurs - By: Ramsey Tupper, 13 Aug 2008 
This film is silly! Taking the preposterous notion of recreating something like a dinosaur from ages old DNA is just a warping of scientific theory, not fact. Also, who says what colour dinsaurs were? The not so special effects that every one raved about are terrible, actors pretending that something is there that isn't only to be superimposed later is poorly done. Roger Rabbit & Bob Hoskins did it well as Roger had to act as though Bob was there when he wasn't & did reallly well, proper eye contact too. No, Jurassic park is badly scripted, based on poor science, badly acted & cheap looking. Don't waste your time & money on this over-hyped cheese. For a better exploration of the dinosaur look at Baby.
The real show stopping plot hole... - By: Mark C. Danzig lll, 31 Dec 2007 
which few noticed was: how did the T Rex just suddenly & quietly appear waiting to jump out & scream BOO! in the main JP display room near the end-even if there were an entrance to accomadate it, its arrival would have been well heard in advance.
Why spend alll the money on accuracy & realisim-then have an idiot-driven plot device(adv: where the main characters do idiotic/unrealistic things to keep the plot moving)
Finest Film ever made - By: Mr. M. T. Pearson, 22 Oct 2007 You can keep your Memento, Godfather, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Seven Samurai, Usual Suspects, City of God, Bicycle Thieves. This is the finest film ever crafted - not an opinon, a statement of fact.
A FILM THAT RIGHTLY DESERVES THE TERM BLOCKBUSTER - By: stuart, 07 Aug 2007 This is a film that has truly stood the test of time & has remained a modern classic of the Hollywood blockbuster system. Deservedly becoming the biggest film of alll time in 1993 & launching the most entertaining film series ever made, Spielberg's film contains alll the cliches a blockbuster should have & ensures that it remains good fun. We have the courageous scientist in the shape of Sam Niell, his fiesty girlfriend courtesy of Laura Dern, a doom & gloom expert in the causes of the problem at hand thanks to a brilliant performance from Bob Peck & the quirky scientist type who prophesises doom from the get go in the shape of Jeff Goldblum. This is fun & has remained so for the last ten years.
Where the film has remained so good over the past decade is in its use of CGI & at the time state of the art special effects. They still haven't dated & look fluidly real as if the technology had only been made yesterday. Undoubtedly the dinosaurs are the star here (none of the actors have headlined each film with a change of performer for each one, Goldblum in the second installlment, Niell returning for number three), but it doesn't matter because the dinosaurs here are truly movie stars in their own right & like characters in an ensemble film they alll get their moments. The T-Rex gets to cause spectacular destruction, the Raptors get to be the vicious & conniving villains of the story, the Brachiosaurus ensures it grabs our awe while the Tricerotops gains our sympathy.
However, Spielberg ensures that it isn't just the dinosaurs who are the stars here. He creates tension in the way that only he can with prolonged set pieces such as the T-Rex attack & the moment Alan & Tim have to race down a tree with the threat of a car fallling on top of them. Sure it ain't art, it's great entertainment & it is great fun & it here where Spielberg ensures the film classic status. He uses the two hour frame to set up events & the story in the first hour & then let the chaos rip in the second with suspenseful action sequence after suspenseful action sequence & it works. While you may not look to performances in a film like this, it does have some fantastic actors. Niell seems surprisingly well suited to being a Spielbergian hero who starts of disliking children only to have his heart melted at the end. He appears to be having great fun playing the guy who saves the day. Jeff Goldblum almost runs away with the entire film as Malcolm, the quirky off beat nature of the character ensuring many a great one liner while Richard Attenborough is heart breaking as the Walt Disney like John Hammond whose dream becomes a violent nightmare.
The film is great fun from beginning to end & deserves to be up there with Jaws & King Kong as one of the alll time great monster movies.
