My number 1 movie ( contains possible spoilers )

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2001)

Jurassic Park is my all time favorite movie. Great, sensationally, fascinating, astounding : This movie does not deserve those words, it is much better.
This movie has just the greatest special effects ever. What I love about this movie ( unlike to Godzilla, King Kong, Terminator 2 or something ), is that the story is more important than the special effects, and not the other way round. Another thing is, that the guys do not say : oh, we are human beings, so we have to kill every single animal danger that there is ( see : in the whole movie, you cannot see even one shot ). Comparison : In Godzilla there were about 1647. I wonder how anyone can not like this movie at all. I am almost embarrassed to say that I have seen this movie just 18 times, but in the end of the year 2001 I will have watched it at least 50 times. I started to watch this movie at least one time a week. I could quote every part of this film, but I still cannot have enough of it. I never get tired of seeing this movie.
Good points of Jurassic Park: Music, Steven Spielberg, character development, everything on the stylistic level, the camera work, audio/visual effects, the story and the way it is told, the T Rex, the velociraptor, every single scene with a dinosaur in it ( and the others, too ), actors ((Alan Grant ( Sam Neill ), John Hammond ( Richard Attenborough ), Ellie Sattler ( Laura Dern ), Ray Arnold ( Samuel L. Jackson ), Tim Murphy ( Joseph Mazzelo ) , Lex Murphy ( Ariana Richards ), Dennis Nedry ( Wayne Knight ), Ian Malcolm ( Jeff Goldblum ), Robert Muldoon ( Bob Peck ), Lewis Dodgson ( Cameron Thor ) and Henry Wu ( B. D. Wong )), the first 60 minutes, and the last 60 minutes, the suspense, maybe even horror, if you are young, the action, the humor ( the bit that there is ), the way that the characters tell their arguments to do/do not approve the park, and every single shot that you can see.
Bad points : the dilophosaur, there was a bit too much of Dennis Nedry ( just a little bit ), a few goofs.
My favorite parts : the T Rex scenes, the kitchen scene, both scenes with the brachiosaur, the ending ( in the helicopter, with that GREAT music ). This movie maybe has my three all-time-favorite film parts : the Rex breaking out, the ending and the brachiosaur visiting Alan, Lex and Tim in the tree.
This is a definite milestone in cinema history, and I hope it will still be remembered in 50 years. I still have to live about 70 years, and I promise, that this will ever be my favorite movie. There has never been, there is no, and there will never be a better movie than Jurassic Park.
Steven Spielberg works his magic again, and he is by FAAAAR my favorite director, and this is one reason why I like him THAT much. OK, he made some bad films, but films like Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler´s List ( my Top 3 movies ) will stay masterpieces forever. I think that every other director would have made another King Kong or Godzilla from the script, but Steven knew what to do, and this is one reason why I love him. Don't listen to the negative reviews or claims that this movie was just a "sell out"- because it's not. George Lucas has an army of advertising blitzes and action figures and countless other crap, for his overrated films, but he makes "magic".
Jurassic Park is the reason that I am a film fan. Since I watched this film in 1996 on TV, I watched about 700 films, but there is no movie that came up to it. Till 1998 this was not my all-time favorite, but one day I decided that this is just the greatest thing on earth. This is better than The Lost World ( which is my number 6 movie ), because it is not that much concentrated on action ( I like action, but Jurassic Park shows exactly the same length of action scenes, and The Lost World was a bit too much concentrated on the action ). I hope that I will be able to watch this movie with JP2 and JP3 in a feature in summer, when Jurassic Park 3 enters the screen. I´d love to watch this movie on the big screen and I can't wait for the sequel. If there had not been Schindler´s List", this should have gotten the 7 awards that Schindler won.
All in all, this movie is, on a scale from 1 to 10, a definite 1000. It could not have been better. For anyone who hasn't yet seen this classic film, what are you waiting for?
Thanks to everyone that gave us such a great film. We can only be thankful that this movie was made.
Can't wait for the sequel, although it is without the masters Steven Spielberg ( on the director's chair ) and John Williams. A definite 1000/10.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Is there anyone out there who loves the film as much as I do ?
Cu; Rinho.
