Bloody good film

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2000)

Considering this film is now 7 years old, it has aged incredibly well. It still impresses youngsters and grannies alike, and more importantly, it still impresses me. Disregarding the book (which seems to be the only book anyone has ever read), the plot about meddling with nature seems more relevant now than it ever did. Admittedly, the film isn't very well paced, with whopping areas where the only object of fascination is Sam Neill's face, but the now-famous T-Rex chase and bit-with-raptors are both landmarks of cinema and a little bit pant soiling. When this film was released, films that were 7 years old then looked rubbish (apart from Aliens of course), so we should praise J.P and shower it with rose petals. Huzzah!
