Re: First JP3 review online...4 out of 5 stars



A slew of new reviews have come in on Ain't It Cool News. The reviews seem to be generally good for the most part (depending on how you define "good"). Some seem to think it's a better action flick than anything else that's been released all year. One reviewer thought it was a complete failure.

I think they're trying to put over the Spinosaurus in a big way as the new "bad ass" dinosaur here, hence the "dumpy" T.rex. Early rumors had it that a second T.rex gains revenge on the Spinosaurus, but it appears that those early rumors were false. A lot of the fan sites are up in arms over the 94 minute running time ("not enough dino-action!" was one response) and the fact that T.rex gets the short end of the stick. I guess some fans weren't as tired of the T.rex as they thought....

Shorter and darker?  Sounds like my third girlfriend Lorna.

Actually, since Spielberg didn't direct it, it probably will in fact be a
bit darker.  He's able to construct thrilling action set-pieces, but his
story-telling in his action movies is more than a little theme-parkish and
plastic-feeling.

Then again, "darker" doesn't necessarily mean "dark."

It's also reviewed on Coming Attractions, here:

Beware -- minor spoilers are rampaging there like feathered
Spielbergraptors.

I wonder why the Tyrannosaurus looks kind of dumpy in the new movie.  Its
appearance seems to have changed for the worse.
