Big bad dinosaurs go after little stupid people

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2002)

I honestly liked Jurassic Park in 1993, and I still like it now. That does not mean that it is not without its major (I mean MAJOR problems), the first of which is that:
1) The human characters are poorly developed and appear to be escapees from a mental institution rather than "paleontologists," "mathematicians," "lawyers," "bazillionaires," or "computer programers" because any human being with even a deminished mental capacity would know that being trapped on an island with many multiton predators is a very very bad idea, and that instead of going on "the tour" they should have been going to the heli-pad. [though I know there wouldn't be much of a movie]
2) The dinosaurs looked like crapola. Now I realise that this goes counter to all the information you've previously heard or stated yourself but 99.99999% of the accuracy reports were from non-paleontologists. Now you're getting one from a paleontologist. For starters the Velociraptor were about 3x as large as the largest Velociraptor specimens found to date. There are fragments of Velociraptor relatives about as large as the JP Raptors, but again, they looked nothing like the JP Raptors. Speilberg did this just to make them scarier. The Dilophosaurus on the other hand was far too small, and DID NOT have that skin frilly thing [nor did it spit anything].
There is so much more wrong with this movie's dinosaurs, but I do not want to bore.
