REVIEW:

Ironic for a series about genetically resurrected dinosaurs, the Jurassic Park franchise just keeps devolving. 1997’s The Lost World had its moments but was a step down, and now Jurassic Park III is easily the weakest entry yet. With Steven Spielberg moving on and replaced in the director’s chair by Joe Johnston (he of such mediocre titles as Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Jumanji), the third installment has descended into a pointless hour and a half of generic scurrying around that when it’s over barely feels like it happened.
