August 2, 2001 — Here is some "capsule" review from Newhouse News Service which was
released on July 30, 2001. There were many about movies to come and
some that have been out for awhile.
FILM CLIPS: Capsule reviews of current movies; stars range from
zero to four...
"JURASSIC PARK III" Director Joe Johnston smoothly takes over
the Michael Crichton/Steven Spielberg dinosaur franchise, returning
Sam Neill's Raptor-tested paleontologist and a classy little ensemble
to monster island in search of a missing boy. High in adventure and
dinosaur realism, a bit short on raw thrills. But watch those
pterodactyls. Laura Dern briefly reprises her charming naturalist
from the first installment. Scarily ferocious, but pretty much
blood-free. Rated PG-13. Running time: 90 minutes. THREE STARS |
