Good, but story problems

Rating: 7/10 (2 March 2006)

I should have liked this film more than I do.
Having been a dinosaur ?fan?, I guess that would be what you call it, since I was a kid I like all 3 of the Jurassic Park films.
Being a woman, the world thinks that is unnatural.
The problem with this film is the story line & subplots.
OK, we knew from the first film Ian Malcolm had 3 kids. Why did we have to make the girl African American? NOTHING AGAINST African Americans in any way, but why did they have to so this unnecessary subplot so we had to guess about the girl?s mother & the film had a couple of characters do the same thing. Unnecessary, not needed for the film.
A pet peeve of a scene I AM SICK & TIRED OF SEEING IN FILMS & TELEVISION SHOWS. When a character is wearing & listening to a walkman WHY CAN THEY NOT EVER HEAR ANYTHING ELSE? Sorry, I have had a walkman since the 1980?s & I HEAR PEOPLE TALKING AROUND ME & other noises in my area.
After the double T-Rex attack on the trailer the rescue of Jeff, Julianne & "National Treasure" Vince Vaughan went on TOO long. Scene should have been shortened.
Good film, but Steven, it could have been MUCH better.
