It seemed during this movie that the makers of JP3 were trying to expunge all memory of JP2 from the audience's collective memory. Aside from a brief mention at the beginning, the San Diego T-Rex fiasco was avoided, and instead JP3 focuses where it should: A jungle-island with lots of big dinosaurs chasing little people. And it sure is fun!
No analyzation of the directing, because it's not really anything to be noted (which is good, don't distract from the dinos). No analyzation of the acting, because with Neill, Leoni and Macy, you know you're gonna get good performances in roles that don't require much else. No analyzation of the plot, because it simply doesn't exist.
JP3 holds true more to the originals' flare of just sitting back and enjoying the dinosaurs. Granted, the original truly is a horror/thriller classic, with great acting/directing/plot, some truly memorable scenes, and an idea that had never been done in such a way before. But the novelty is gone, and Spielberg and Co. realized that inventing new places for dinos to roam just didn't work. So back to the basics.
Jurasic Park III isn't a classic movie of course. It certainly isn't as good as the original. But it is much better than the second one (Much like the Scream trilogy: the 3d is done in a self-parody type of style that makes it much more enjoyable to watch). So give it a watch, but don't analyze it, please, because it just isn't that kind of flick (although I must say the end is just so incredibly tacked-on and off the wall).
7/10
