Better than expected

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2003)

I don't know why this movie seems to have such a bad reputation. While admittedly, it's not a great adaptation of Crichton's wonderful novel and it would have been better if he had directed the whole thing instead of trying to fix it in re-shoots, the movie is pretty decent.
While I admit it's not as good as The Great Train Robbery, it certainly works better than the Jurassic Park movie and the story is preserved, with good performances and production values that do give a sense of time and place.
