The movie I watched it 13 times in a year

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2000)

This is simply one of the best movies ever made by Spielberg. The cinematic and special effects, the dialogue (not too complex but still manages to impart a sense of scientific grandeur), the acting (not exactly top-notch but well above average), but most of all, the dinosaurs. Never has one seen dinosaurs so big, terrifying, cute and real. The way these giant lizards move, eat, kill and even think was done so perfectly it almost seems like science fact than science fiction (I know it is science-based, but it is still a science fiction movie).
I have to admit that the book was much better, that always happens when you adapt a book - most of the subtlety and intrigue has to make way so a film does not become too long. But it was still one of the best adaptations of a book ever made.
Watch the movie, but read the book as well, then watch the movie again. You'll appreciate it so much more.
