A Very Good Movie, That Could Have Been Even Better!

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2002)

Jurassic Park is a very good movie, but it could have been even better. Very Good performances, amazing special effects and a decent plot. So how do I think this movie could have been better, First I believe the addition of the grandchildren characters hurts rather than helps the film, but the real let down for me is the ending. For the T-Rex to save the day at the end is absolutely ridiculous. The T-Rex shows up at just the right time how convenient, why would it even be there or enter the building? Where was the opening for it to get in? Why would it attack the raptors instead of the people? Why would the second raptor attack the T-Rex instead of fleeing? All very unlikely and really brings the whole movie down a notch for me. It would have been much better ending if the Game Warden had survived and came in and blasted the raptors. I'm sure Spielberg just wanted to give us one more scene with the T-rex but it would have been better to have it either chase the vehicle as they are driving the to the heli-pad or actually try and grab the helicopter. With that all said, it is still a very good movie which I highly recommened.
