Disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2015)

My review for Jurassic Park (From a person who hasn't read the books):
Plot: 4/10 While the concept of JP was very good IMO, the execution of it in the plot wasn't good. It would have been better if the tour wouldn't have malfunctioned on it's first run and had been a success the first few times. It was also strange that the characters were making such a big deal about the storm, but the storm didn't have anything to do with the park's fences failing.
Characters: 3/10 The characters were either bland (Alan, Ellie, Lex, Tim, Ray, Robert, etc.), or unlikable (Ian, John, Donald, Dennis, etc.).
Special effects: 7/10 Pretty good for 1993, but the severed arm thing was so poorly done it was cringe-worthy.
Music: 6/10 Pretty good.
Conclusion: JP had such a good concept, but IMO was poorly executed.
Comparison: I like this JP better than JP III, but not as good as JP II.
