Trash, but great fun

Rating: Null/10 (15 December 2000)

Come on - this film isn't that bad. Ok, so the Raptors' scene is a 'little' unrealistic - but I personally wanted the characters to survive and their various techniques (while probably shouldn't be copied if confronted with a similar situation!) were entertaining.
There wasn't much blood and gore, but so what? The message was put across - I think I'm intelligent enough to realise when a character is dead without being shown a big sign, dripping with intestines, declaring 'He's no longer alive, ya know'. In my opinion, this film has been made with its tongue firmly in its cheek - and Goldblum is often very amusing. If you want to learn about dinosaurs, watch 'Walking with dinosaurs'; don't watch any of the JP films.
However, I'm not going to go all gushy. It is way too long and didn't do itself any favours with the old 'T-rex-in-San-Diego-routine.
Oh, and I just had to make sure everybody in America realises that ALL the baddies in the world are English. I'm not sure whether Hollywood has quite made that clear enough yet...
