two pet peeves

Rating: 6/10 (23 January 2011)

I just watched this movie again on the Space channel. It is still an entertaining creature-feature movie to watch on TV during the night. The dinosaurs are outstanding to behold and fearful when attacking (even the cute ones). I have two pet peeves though: When Nick's sympathetic action to heal the baby dinosaur's leg put his, Ian, and Sarah's life in jeopardy and made the would-be rescuer become a T-rex snack; and when John Hammond pontificates his speech about life and "how they must work with the Costa Rican government" to preserve the land and the dinosaurs- that's a nice political deflection which means they screwed up but can act like the heroes by naming another source as possible culprits.
