Nostalgic

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2012)

I just created my IMDb account and this is my very first movie review. Why choose Jurassic Park? From the very first time I watched it in theatres (when I was 3 and apparently sitting on my dad's lap, facing the other way when the T-Rex came on screen) I have always LOVED this movie. I always get a nostalgic feeling when I watch this movie as this spawned my love for dinosaurs. Now that I am grown up *somewhat* this movie is still one of my all time favs. I always find something new when watching it and always look forward to the scenes I remember. Spielberg has subtle changes from the original novel (omitting certain parts, changing the personality of characters, especially Dr. Grant) but is still true to the meat of the plot. From "blood sucking lawyers," "rock-star" mathematicians, and stereotypical paleontologists, Spielberg created a movie that, to this day, still is one of the greatest of all time. John Williams, who scored the film created one of the most recognizable theme songs in all films and I still listen to it. "Clever Girl."
