Reviews for Jurassic Park
Top CriticThis is the 2001: A Space Odyssey of dinosaur movies, one whose special effects render previous efforts obsolete.

Spectacle triumphs over sense, but with effects this effective resistance is futile.
03/04/08
Top CriticThe well-selected cast is winningly sympathetic and entertainingly idiosyncratic.
06/05/07
This is an exhilarating, sometimes terrifying monster of a movie that, once it gets you in its clutches, won't put you down again until the closing credits start to roll.

Top CriticThere's more soul to be found in any Kong close-up than in this film's overplayed reactions.
06/05/07
Spielberg is still supreme as an action director, and when the T Rex makes beefburger of the jeep, or the vicious 'Raptors stalk their human prey, the film inspires wonder and awe.

You won't believe your eyes.

An innovative, ingenious and spectacular sci-fi adventure. The special effects are truly dazzling.
03/04/06
The plot also conspires to harm the film's general credibility.

Fads may come and go, but dinosaurs will always be cool... a fact for which Jurassic Park should be eternally grateful.
12/04/02
The plot is equal parts Westworld and (believe it or not) Jaws 3-D.
06/05/02
True, the dialogue and performances are feeble, but the thing is basically no more -- and no less -- than a nifty monster movie that delivers crackerjack thrills.
