Dudes, I seriously didn't even know there was a Jurrasic Park III.

I think if this was made in the 50s, story wise, it would be a great monster movie. it has a lot of juicy tidbits and campy action. While I agree that it's flawed, I think it has the kinds of flaws that I'm generally willing to over look in classic horror movies. It's sort of like Forbidden Planet for me. The over all idea, action, locations are fun enough that sloppy exposition, 2-dimensional characters and stilted pacing are not really problematic.

compared with other contemporary camp moster flicks (like mummy 3 for instance...) it was a blast to watch and appealed to every 12 year old fiber in my body while not offending too many of my more mature sensibilities.

on the other hand my girlfriend, who is a lot more demanding of movies than I am, was less than impressed.

I really wanted this film to be great. We all went a last Friday night and as the movie wore on we could kind of tell that it wasn't really going to be what we were expecting. I didn't really feel attached to any of the characters, didn't care that much for any of them. I'd give it a 6 or 7. I like all of the actors here...I really wish this were better. Did anyone else feel like most of the best scenes involved Hugo Weaving?

Also, did anyone catch the comics on the back of the paper Weaving was reading? I can't believe they didn't fix that.

I thought it was a fun, goofy movie.
