Horribly obvious (MAJOR SPOILERS ALERT)

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 2001)

It would be churlish to criticise this film without first taking time to complement it on some superb set pieces e.g. the T.Rex attack.
The film's major failing, besides one dimensional characters, is that it is just so bloody obvious who is going to survive, and who will be eaten.
Survivors = Square-jawed hero, his heroic girlfriend, the hip American Professor, and the two cute kids. Those who die horribly = the fat guy, the black guy, the English guy, and the greasy lawyer. Quelle surprise.
On a point of order, Richard Attenborough's "Wee flea circus" monologue isn't quite in the same league as Robert Shaw's "SS Indianapolis" monologue from Spielberg's almost faultless Jaws
