2.3 It Had Too Many Dinosaurs

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2011)

I rented this movie under the impression that it was about a theme park- not JUST dinosaurs. Instead I was hoping for a quality family film about having fun, instead I got a violent dinosaur filled movie about people running for their lives. What infuriated me the most, that caused me ultimate discomfort in this film, was the fact that it had too many dinosaurs. Maybe one dinosaur, such as Barney- you know one less violent- but instead there was a dinosaur every minute of this film. Plus I didn't find it entertaining that this nice (not Christian, but nice) family got chased around. This movie I know is considered a classic, but I don't know why. Perhaps this movie could have been slightly better if the dinosaurs hadn't been so prominent, or if it had been a friendly game of tag, or if they had went to church instead. Overall this movie is bad. Do not watch it, I recommend The Parent Trap (1998) instead.
