If you don't think its the best of them, remember that you're the one who need to 'get it'

Rating: 10/10 (31 May 2002)

This is so easily the best of the three dino films that I and a select group who 'do' get it are baffled every time someone has warned a friend away from it, railed against it in favor of the 2 kids running around with ice cream, and protested against the fact that it presents a ham handed eco friendly point of view. DID YOU SEE THIS MOVIE? Spielberg is at the top of his action form, free and loose with handheld everywhere. The dinosaurs are far superior to the first, with better action sequences (the round-up comes to mind). Finally, you have a post Schindler's List Spielberg now working with Cinematography god Januz Kaminkski, who makes this movie look like the most wonderful horrible place on earth to be. That ILM's work was able to match such harsh lighting (for the first time) is a testament to the overall skill that went into it. Plus, you have DINOSAURS doing dinosaur things on an island and in LA!!!!! You're damn jaded if you don't like it, and maybe you should figure out where your life went wrong when you're incapable of seeing the good in something.
