Good movie, but books ruin it, and still kind-of a let-down

Rating: 6/10 (13 September 2005)

Ouch, I used to love this movie, and its true its not terrible, but the book says differently. In the book there a max of 11 people on the island, and five make it back, movie-like 50. They messed up characters left and right and pretty much looked only to the book for names. If yo want to make a movie about dinosaurs Spielberg, then don't kill the Jurassic Park name.
OK, excluding the book, not bad, a little hard to believe, especially when the T-Rex makes it San Fransico. The new plot come up from Spielberg deals with bringing Dino's back to San fran to make a new Jurassic Park. Malcolm, dead in first book, alive in second book, and both movies (weird) leads the movement that everything is hopeless, and eventually is the cause of much death. I don't want to ruin much more, but bottom line is, not bad, could have been better, SHOULD have been better, wasn't.
