Read the book. Loved the movie.

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2000)

I am forced to think back to when my friend called me up and said, you have got to see this movie. I agreed and we went and saw it that day. I'm sitting in the theater waiting for the movie to start and I'm thinking about the preview I partially and thinking, yeah, I can go for a comedy. Little did I know. Once the movie went black and the trailers ended, I heard this loud THUMP! The music of the movie had begun and it sent a chill up my spine and I said to myself, I have the feeling this isn't going to be a funny movie. And I was right.
This was a good movie. I wasn't prepared for the technological piece of work I was about to feast upon. I really enjoyed the action scenes and the part at the end where they are trying to escape from the velociraptors was great and intense making me wonder how were they going to get out, although if that was me I would be packing multiple guns and ammunition. I would have looked like Issac Hayes from I'M GONNA GET YOU SUCKA, during the scene where they are getting ready to take down Mister Big and he has all those weapons strapped to his body.
Anyway back to the Jurassic. The movie was so great, that this was the first movie that I saw more than four times, seeing it a total of eight times which back then was a lot for me since I didn't have my own car at the time. The record being beaten in recent times by the movie TOMORROW NEVER DIES (9) and THE X-FILES: FIGHT THE FUTURE (10).
After seeing the movie, I decided to read the book. And I'll say this much, if I had read the book before, I would have been upset about the fact that the old man didn't die because I really hated him, but outside of that, I think I wouldn't have minded to much with the obvious changes except for the fact that I really liked Muldoon and didn't want to see him die.
All in all, this was a good movie and I recommend watching this any day of the week you want to watch something with excitement and dinosaurs.
