Yeah I saw this on another site. He just did it for laughs, although it is true of some of the things he says.

But he seems to be claiming that Lost World is worse than the first movie when he didn't even acknowledged JP3, which is the one that deserves the bashing. It just shows that NC still isn't good as he once was.
 
Why do people hate Jurrasic Park 3 so much? It wasn't that bad, IMO. Actually, I think it's because the T-rex was barely in it. But personally, I wasn't a big fan of the T-rex, I was more into the Velocoraptors. Which is why I hated Lost World, too much T-rex, not enough Raptors. Also, the dinosaur in Manhattan was just plain silly. And 3 actually had a good amount of dinosaurs. But yeah, why do you guys think 3 is the worst one?

Exactly.

I didn't mind it. The family annoyed me, but getting Alan Grant back again was great. He was always my favourite along with Ian Malcolm.

And yay raptors :D

1. The family plot was unnecessary
2. T-Rex barely made an appearance
3. The raptors' motivation is completely ridiculous
4. Lack of Dilophosaur (for the second time)
5. It's not based off of any of the original novels
6. Less animatronics

Why would he review 3 before 2? Usually he tries to do movies in order.

Because 2 wasn't too bad; it was 3 that really needs some torn to shreds. Plus he'll be hypocritical after pointing out how he disliked the second movie for not enough action, which 3 had.

I think the raptors had fair motivation...that Billy moron nicked their egg, and so they were pursuing it.

I don't think the third film was bad, i think it is still an awesome movie, but it wasn't as good as the others. Here are the reason why I dislike Jurassic Park 3 more than the other films.

1. The Spinosaurus, for reason which are obvious.

2. There was no Carnotaurus. that was a disappointment to a lot of the novel fans who thought that if they didn't put one in The Lost World, they'd put it in the third film

3. The shortness. It was short, and it could have had a lot of cool scenes if they made it a little more longer

4. The velociraptors. Most people don't like the Raptors because they're too smart and the fact that the raptors look totally different from the fist two films.

5. The Pterosaurs were a problem. They had teeth. Pterosaurs means "no-toothed lizard." It doesn't make sense. The other problem is that we see a Pterosaur at the end of The Lost World thats roaming free, but the Pterosaurs in JP3 were trapped in they're aviary.

6. The plot. people thought it was too small. it should've had a more complicated plot that should have involved Lewis Dodgson and the company BioSyn.

He didn't critique the action. He critiqued how badly the story was made and the sense of wonder was. The Dinosaurs just didn't have the same impact as they did in the first film. But remember some reviews don't even mean he absolutely hates the movie. He just thinks it isn't that good.

Ah sweet, it's an interquel to the first movie, but they used the wrong roar for the T-Rex.

But remember some reviews don't even mean he absolutely hates the movie. He just thinks it isn't that good.

Not according to how he reacted when reviewing the film. There are times when he adds his true opinions to his reviews (Ex: The Flinstones).

1. The Spinosaurus, for reason which are obvious. Well while I agree the Spinosaurus was shoved in our face, it was just like the T-rex in The Lost World, no?

2. There was no Carnotaurus. that was a disappointment to a lot of the novel fans who thought that if they didn't put one in The Lost World, they'd put it in the third film That's silly, you shouldn't hate a movie just because it didn't have what you wanted

3. The shortness. It was short, and it could have had a lot of cool scenes if they made it a little more longer Hmm...you have a point there, but I prefer short to boring like TLW was

4. The velociraptors. Most people don't like the Raptors because they're too smart and the fact that the raptors look totally different from the fist two films. Firstly, the raptors were BARELY in 2, but you still do have a point. Ah well, not that big of a deal. Secondly I love the velociraptors, especially because they're smart. That's what makes them so unique!

5. The Pterosaurs were a problem. They had teeth. Pterosaurs means "no-toothed lizard." It doesn't make sense. The other problem is that we see a Pterosaur at the end of The Lost World thats roaming free, but the Pterosaurs in JP3 were trapped in they're aviary. Woah, really, I did not notice the Pterosaur in #3. Hmm...but I still like it, especially the part where they realized they were in a cage, and then the Pterosaur stepped out of the fog and abducted the kid. That was cool

6. The plot. people thought it was too small. it should've had a more complicated plot that should have involved Lewis Dodgson and the company BioSyn. Refer to my comment on #2]

True, but i never said I hated it. JP3 is still one of my favorite films of all time, but i just don't like it as much as the others. There was a lot of book material and other plot ideas for the third film yet they choice one that seems so average.
Ah sweet, it's an interquel to the first movie, but they used the wrong roar for the T-Rex.
Yes. I'm very excited for this game. It takes place directly after the first film, and the main character is Dr. Gerry Harding, a character that was only seen briefly in the movie but was played a more important role in the book, and his daughter who is some how on the island. There is also Lewis Dodgson is waiting for Nedry, but when he doesn't show he gets Nima, the older woman on the trailer, to find him. That basically sums up what we presently know from the plot. There should be some more information tomorrow, the Admin on JPLegacy (a Jurassic Park fan site, and its the largest of its kind.) was invited to the meeting of the release for the game, so we should be getting a lot of info from him.

And, yeah. I'm a bit disappointed in the T-Rex roar. they chose the one from a game called Dino Crises.

My main problem with Jurassic Park III was that it was just plain unnecessary. It added nothing to the franchise and honestly just felt like a poor man's version of the original. What exactly did the Spinosaur do that the T-Rex didn't (in the novels or the movies)? Raptors are intelligent? Yes, that was covered in the first. Dinosaurs eat people? Saw that before.

Like it or not, TLW did do some new stuff: an organized effort to capture the dinosaurs, T-Rex on the mainland? Concepts like that were never explored in the first movie and felt refreshing because of that. JPIII feels like a poor man's version of the original. Things like that are why I will always prefer Lost World over the third movie.

JPIII is an underrated movie, but I still consider it inferior to the first two.

The same roar was also used in the game "Carnivores." Speaking of JP games, anyone played/heard of "Operation Genesis?" It's an interesting concept that you have the ability to make your own park, of course you are only limited to 5 areas around the world for dinosaur fossils. Site B is obviously my favorite mode as you do nothing but relax and enjoy seeing your dinos roaming wild and free.

I own Operation Genesis for PS2. Its a great game yet it would have been a lot better given some more time. It was suppose to have Pterosaurs and aquatic reptiles in the game, along with different buildings and all sorts of cool stuff but they were rushed and had to finish it up early.

Well that stinks, but I don't see how are Pterosaurs and aquatic reptiles will be kept, unless the exhibits built specifically for them are part of the new stuff that got scrapped. They could've perhaps added the Carnotaurus and Iguanadon while they're at it due to the original novel of the Lost World and the Iguanadon's popularity from Disney's Dinosaur.

There were originally going to be aviaries for the Pterosaurs. The lakes and water for the game was originally going to have depth and be more realistic so that animals like the marine reptiles could actually live in it. I don't think Carnotaurus was ever going to be in Operation Genesis though, it would've been cool to see.

This.
Plot-wise it seemed like a half-assed excuse to go back to the island. The first two movies had InGen attempting to exploit the dinosaurs, which had a lovely "who are the real monsters?" message to it. The third film was... a kid got stuck on the island. =/

What's more, the Spinosaur hinted at InGen being up to something, but nothing came out of it.

Well the game may have been rushed, but at least it's better than the somewhat poorly executed PC game "Dino Battles", which has a plot regarding something InGen would never do, and Tresspasser, which was left unfinished when it was released.
