Critics Consensus

Jurassic Park III is darker and faster than its predecessors, but that doesn't quite compensate for the franchise's continuing creative decline.

A roaring success.

The third film is neither as scary nor as serious as the first two. It borrows heavily from its predecessors and the Alien series, and runs out of energy.

2.5/4

Still, JP3 suffers from second-sequel fatigue and lacks a star who can boost its energy.

The dinosaurs are still scary, and the special effects are often grand, but the sense of wonder and awe are gone.

Honestly one of my favorite in the franchise! Sure, it may be just a generic dinosaur movie compared to the other, more insightful entries in the Jurassic Series, but it is extremely entertaining and has nothing wrong with it in my opinion! The pacing is pretty nice because you don’t have to wait very long between exciting sequences. I absolutely adore the Spinosaurus and its villain-like personality. Also, this entry has some of the best Velociraptor designs in the entire series. Even though it only had a few second cameo, we can’t forget my boi Ceratosaurus! I do wish, however, that they went into more detail about the illegal testing that led to the Spinosaurus’ creation, and I also wish we got a little more explanation regarding Billy’s survival. However, it’s overall an entertaining entry with some of my favorite dinosaurs in the franchise! Still enjoy it to this day!
