What has aged the worst about JP? The dinosaurs that behave and glance like Muppet characters!

Rating: 5/10 (28 November 2014)

Animals don't behave and glance like that... That "OK, wise guy, I'll get you anyway!" look on the raptors' face is totally ridiculous... Its human reactions as interpreted by Muppets, instead of natural reactions of wild animals. So the horror factor is all the more diminished for it. Could you imagine "Jaws" giving looks like that? "Jaws" wouldn't work!
How quickly and efficiently the raptors learn to find their way around and use hi-tech kitchen doors and handles is also unlikely and ludicrous. They're not apes for crying out loud!
I never saw any of this when I watched the film at the theater with our kids in 1993, and we had the time of our lives. And while these memories of course are still dear to me, and the pastoral, first view of the park and its inhabitants is still a moving scene, the rest is now just too loud and campy.
