A summer hit but c'mon!

Rating: Null/10 (4 July 2000)

If anyone has read the book one can't help but be frustrated with this movie. It was made for basically the family to see for much of it with stereotypes and too gleefull endings. First of all the lawyer bothered me most. In the novel he is a typical slimebucket and wats money money money. However he (still being a jerk) ends up being a bit of a hero and to a pleasant surprise. . .lives. As for John Hammond, in the movie he was santa clause. Also, I liked Muldoon as a drunk tub of lard rather than another bold hero type to kill off valiantly. The flick had some amazing effects and a few good moments but its a 5/10 effort after reading the novel.
