Tea Leoni was also VERY awesome alongside Nicholas Cage in Family Man! I´d HIGHLY recommend you guys to check that one out. It has a lot of heart and flew under many people´s radar!
That was the original island. This island is where all the actual cloning took place. The other island was for show only. Basically this was the farm and the island from the first movie was just the amusement park.
I can relate to the dinosaur nightmares. I had a few a a kid as well. My grandma lived right next door from our house. They have a very green yard, tall trees, and beautiful garden. I had to hide from a T-Rex, behind the trees, and make my way to the gate that connected our back yards. When I went through the gate, to be home, I turned to find tritops everywhere. Ran out, across the street, to my neighbors house, and there were Pterodactyl’s swarming the yard. Woke up to go to the bathroom. And one Dino nightmare when I was pregnant with my daughter. Was on Jurassic Boat Ride, and all the Animatronics came to life. Three raptor like rexes pulled apart my Aunt. I tried forcing myself awake when one bit her arm. Took me awhile to wake up. Last thing I remember is hearing her screech “Oh god! Oh god! Ohhh goddd!!!” 😭
Will you guys cover the rest of the Defenders shows now that they're on Disney+? Also CONGRATULATIONS on the upcoming nuptials wish you both all the best!
Ya'll missed a small line when Dr Grant was having dinner at Ellie's house. Ellie's husband worked for the State Dept. I don't remember if they mention his position but I always assumed he was fairly high up. He was the one who got the military rescue. I'm So excited for your wedding! You two are great together!
Ellie's husband has a role has something to do with international relations... thats why she managed to send the army. Food for thought, if they had been honest then Alan could have introduced them to Ellie's husband to rescue their son.
@@javiercega international relations is the State Dept. The director probably chose those words because he feared too many wouldn't recognize what the State Dept represents. Also, that's an excellent point regarding a rescue attempt. However, I seem to recall the parents mentioning they had contacted the State Dept already. And while Ellie's husband would be moved to flex his influence to rescue one of his wife's closest friends, who is also a nationally known public figure, there's a good chance he wouldn't have risked his career had Grant simply asked for the rescue of a boy even Grant didn't actually know. It was the Stedad's own actions that caused the problem in the first place. And given there was a negligible chance either was still alive And a high risk of death for any rescue team I honestly couldn't fault the State Dept for turning them down. Dr Grant's presence gave credibility to the possibility of survivors. That changed the circumstances enough for the risk of rescue attempts. Though even then they only went as far as the beach. Edited to better clarify a sentence. 😁
@@thebkgAdd to that that Ellie JUST talked to Alan, so they know he’s alive. When Erick went missing they had no contact with, his stepdad or the boat guys for who know how many hours before the mom reported them missing and then days and weeks with no communication, there was no reason to think they were alive
@@Turtleform This heavily depend on which country we are talking about. Some do have undergraduate courses in paleontology, so it's pretty straightforward. Others will require you to start in another course (such as geology, biology) and then specialize in paleontology (which is what I did).
That’s awesome mate! Triassic is when most of the sauropods lived if I’m not mistaken? I always remember Cretaceous is when the T-rex lived, including my favourite dinosaur, the Parasaurolophus. I was a big dinosaur fan as a kid haha
@@PeterAtkinson That would be the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Early sauropodomorphs first appeared in the Triassic but they didn’t evolve into the forms you are familiar with until the late Jurassic.
It's funny you used that Jumanji clip in this, since both this and that film were both directed by Joe Johnston, the man who directed The Rocketeer, Captain America: The First Avenger, and help designed Boba Fett. Jen was right with close ups, most of them are animatronics, which helps the film visuals hold up.
The deep impact joke was golden! And was only bested by Jen's shocked reaction to it haha rewound and watched that about 12 times before continuing the reaction (but not before a brief intermission to wipe the tears of laughter away) haha
I’ve honestly been the most excited for this review over all your other reviews! I love Jurassic Park 3 and it’s probably the movie I’ve seen the most times in my life, like at least 50+ times when I was a kid! Hoping y’all love it but based on every other person’s review in the world of this movie idk that you will 😂
@@ddogjrwalk over the years I’ve only ever heard overwhelming hate for this movie, even more than the lost world but I’m glad people are coming around to it cause it’s a really fun movie
Joe Johnston, the film's director, hated the original script, which involved a couple of teenagers getting stranded on Isla Sorna, where they encounter Alan Grant, living in the island in a treehouse, studying the dinosaurs, while Johnston went on, saying "it felt like a bad episode of Friends." The idea of teenagers getting stranded on the island would later become the basis for JURASSIC WORLD: Camp Cretaceous.
Fun Fact, when they walk down to the operations center you can see the vehicle Ian Malcom was in when the raptor was pushing its nose through the glass. Holden, on the herbivores not being aggressive, many of today's herbivores are highly aggressive (elephant, hippos, cape African buffalo, rhinos, Canadian Geese). I would in general assume some would be territorial and a lot will defend their young to a point, again, just like today's herbivores. One of the theories for why the spino follows them is they hurt its sail and its angry with them. I know its dumb but that is one theory. Jen, I'm fairly certain the guys running the "DinoSails" parasailing company were not legally there. There general look and look of the boat kinda screams shady. On the kid getting attacked 30min after grouping with other after 8 weeks of solo survival, I'm just gonna assume he was in survival mode and upon reuniting with his parents he reverted to being a kid and dependent on them. On how Ellie got the military out there, her husband says he works for the State Department in international relations and treaty laws when they are eating dinner in the beginning. So there is your "how", even if it is a bit weak because Ellie says "so you know Marks been working for the State Department now," making it sound like he is newer and probably wouldn't have the connections and favors yet to pull off something like this.
Can't wait for Jen to see Jurassic World! Though in my opinion the first Jurassic Park is the best and think it's near impossible to beat, I still really like the the Jurassic World series thus far and look forward to seeing the third installment this summer...
But Fallen Kingdom was such garbage... Legitimately the worst movie in the franchise by far. It took by far the worst idea ever conceived in the franchise and then doubles and triples down on it.
9:46 - That is actually my number one complaint about movies with dinosaurs in them: Dinosaurs were animals, pure and simple, and them would behave exactly like wild animals today do! They would not be raging through cities trying to eat people, they'd only hunt when hungry and they would go for mostly other animal prays (Many of them would not even be interested in humans as food: Some, like the Spinosaurus seen in this movie, were fish eaters and would probably not care for human flesh anyway)
Actually spinosaurus does still eat alot of meat. Especially when there’s no fish around e.g droughts. In Africa it would prey on Ouranosaurus and would be in conflict with another large predator A.K.A Carcharodontosaurus.
I thought I would give some dinosaur facts in case you were wondering about the accuracy of these movies: In the first movie Alan and Ellie are digging for velociraptors in Montana. This is pretty weird because velociraptors are found on the other side of the world in Mongolia not Montana. This might be because they based the raptors off of deinonychus which is a close relative who did live in Montana. The deinonychus idea would also explain the size as deinonychus was around the size of a person but real velociraptors were a only about the size of a turkey. The velociraptors in real life also would have had feathers covering their entire body instead of the reptilian scales. The compys in the second movie would also have had feathers. The dilophosaurus from the first movie is also pretty inaccurate. In the movie it was pretty small, had a extendible frill, and spat venom. In real life however they were closer in size to a polar bear and didn’t have the frill or the venom of the movie counterpart. Spinosaurus in this movie was also pretty inaccurate. The real life spinosaurus wouldn’t have been so aggressive as it ate fish and wouldn’t have chased after much larger prey. It also would have had a more crouched position and a more amphibian like tail that would’ve helped it swim better. The biggest inaccuracy in the series is that barely any of the animals are actually from the Jurassic. In the first movie only the brachiosaurus and the dilophosaurus were actually from the Jurassic period and the rest were from the Cretaceous. Also a little lesser know fact is that pteranodon and other flying reptiles were not dinosaurs. This also goes for all the marine reptiles that lived in the ocean. Also fun fact, dinosaurs aren’t extinct as their modern relatives are birds.
Funny enough, there actually IS a Dromeosaur that lived in Mongolia that DID get as big as the Raptors in the Jurassic franchise. In fact it was actually slightly BIGGER. It’s called Achillobator, named after the Greek hero Achilles (they named it such because this raptor had an absolutely massive Achilles’ tendon).
I have been rewartching lots of your videos lately, I live in Kyiv (Ukraine) and they are bringing me some level of comfort and make me smile even inbetween the explosions
Even if the movies are not so appealing to me, I watch strictly for Jen to call out Holden's govt name. He should put a counter at the bottom adding up all those jokes up to the present movie/series.
Glad you guys loved this movie I couldn't. I hated mostly every character with exception for Alan and thought the action and everything was just underwhelming.
This was my first Jurassic Park film cinemas. Was 11 when I first saw it. Funny enough, I'd only seen one tv spot of this assumed the Spino was a Hybrid Dinosaur and during Summer School I wrote up a fan-fic of JP3 which had the classic characters return to the original island and the Spino was this hybrid dinosaur mixed with T-Rex and Raptor DNA and ended it with a T-Rex fighting it. Needless to say, I was kinda disappointed that wasn't the movie I got but was very happy with Jurassic World years after for somewhat fullfilling my 11 year old imagination. Also, as weird as JP3 is I like this film. Its short, fast paced and fun despite some flaws. I do wish Billy for example had remained dead. Pointless keeping him alive.
Haha I wrote jp fan fic but it was for the lost world before that came out when I was about 6 😂😂 I remember it had a scene in a jeep on the edge of a cliff during a dilophosaurus attack…
@@joshhunt4146 Being a kid and having a imagination was great. Now it's hard to come up with ideas without it feeling like a rip off of other things lol.
@@HeatKingMedia definitely, during lockdown I wanted to start writing again but everything I wrote I felt was far too similar to other existing things haha back at work now with a 1 year old so I really don’t have any time 😂😂
i actually enjoyed this movie. i love the spinosaurus, its one of my favorites. only real issue is that the cast isnt very strong, especially with the couple.
@@bruh949 Each large predator can defeat another large predator in a fight. Also comparing spino to C3PO is incorrect. It was more like T800 against another T800
@@dinozavrizm4534 The Tyrannosaurus had one of the strongest bite forces to ever exist and you're telling me it couldn't snap that spindly little neck? Meanwhile the Spinosaurus is using its highly fragile jaws, that are meant for fishing, to snap the T.Rex's neck that is made nearly completely out of muscle.
This came out the same summer as the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes. I remember vividly my parents not letting me go see planet of the apes with my friends, but taking me to see JP3 lmao cuz i summarize "dinosaurs eating people is better than silly monkey evolution" and boy do i find that absolutely hilarious nowadays lol
My least favorite of the Jurrasic Park movies. I suppose it is a bit fun in spots, but my major beef with this one was the dino fight. And the Kirbys were a bit annoying at times, particularly the mom. Didn't care for the Spinosaurus. The first two were my favorite. I really enjoyed the first and second one. The story for this one I thought was the weekest of the 3 to me.
Not to peep on your relationship but you two are my favorite youtube couple I've been watching since my friend watches and seeing you 2 get married is awesome you better post fricking pictures
I'm rarely going to really hate any film with Dinosaurs, 1,000,000 years BC, Valley of Gwangi, King Kong (1933), When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, The Lost World (multiple versions starting in 1925) Even when they're bad I find something to enjoy.
Tea Leoni was also VERY awesome alongside Nicholas Cage in Family Man! I´d HIGHLY recommend you guys to check that one out. It has a lot of heart and flew under many people´s radar!
I went parasailing with my wife a few years ago. Thought I’d love it, but got very scared due to my fear of heights. Remind yourself that you’re strapped in. Otherwise, Godspeed Holden!
I always thought this was the 2nd movie when I was a kid, and when I discovered this was actually the 3rd, I was in shock. I watched this as much as the first and I always enjoyed the rewatch. It's a nice Sunday morning or afternoon. Velociraptors were like the wolf from the dinosaurs. They were smart and work in groups, at least those are the theory.
JP Spinosaurus: kills T-Rex. Anyone who knows an ounce of Palaeontology: And I took that personally. Seriously C-3PO destroying a T-1000 terminator is more likely than for a Spinosaurus to kill a Tyrannosaurus, even if they’re altered in genes.
The reason the Spino was after them for the whole movie, was because when the plane took off at the start, it hit Spino's sail and drew blood. That hurt it and p-ed it off. It wanted revenge basically. Also, those weren't Pterodactyls, they were Pteranodons, Pterodactyls were tiny in comparison.
I remember when I found out this film was coming out. I was 11 and I was a huge fan of the films and I first found out about this one when I went to see The Mummy Returns and saw the trailer! Imagine that! Finding out a film like this was coming out because you saw a trailer in the cinema. Would never happen today and I will never get that feeling again. Kind of ruined the mummy returns tho because all I was thinking about was jp3 and seeing Alan again (who was my favourite character)
This is definitely the second worst film in the franchise after Dominion. It was a real shame that it started this trend of downplaying and humiliating the T-Rex... But it has some entertainment and nostalgic value.
I’m glad that you both rated this movie so high, I love this movie but a lot of the Jurassic Park/World fandom hates it. I think it’s very underrated and I enjoy it every time I rewatch it! I like to do Jurassic Park/World marathons while I build furniture for my apartment
A lot of the fandom hates it because a lot of the fandom like Prehistory. And lots of those lovers of Prehistory know that Spinosaurs killing a Tyrannosaurus is a unrealistically impossible sin on logic.
So excited for the newest movie! 🦖 Watched a video of a paleontologist reacting to dinosaurs in movies and he said T-Rex would not have lost that fight with the spinosaur (and predators avoid other predators in general) and that herbavores are actually pretty dangerous (think buffalo) 🦕they just won't eat you after they crush you 😬
This movie is the first in the series that is not based in a novel (since Crichton only wrote 2 books), but it brought some influences from those novels, like the pterodactyl part, that happened in the first book, together with a whole section about the aviary section of the park.
There’s a bonus feature in the dvd for Jurassic park 3 where a paleontologist explained that male velociraptors had feathers on their head. This is one of my favorite of the franchise, idk why some people hate it
I'm 31 years old and watched the hell out of this movie when it came out. I still occasionally hear that ring tone in my head at the most random of times, and even now it makes me stop whilst my heart gives a flicker and I see that Spinosaurus standing there. Then I smile and carry on. Love this movie.
I had a dream I was in site B green trex ripped off my left arm I ran to the long grass to hide while the Spinosaurus came in out of nowhere to fight the trex again gaved me enough time to patch up my wound and runaway
Next Movie is Jurassic World it is set on the Island from the first Jurassic Park movie but 22 years after the events of the 1st Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park 3 and Jurassic Park The Lost World are set on Site B, Isla Sorna not Nublar like the rest of the movies
Once you get to Fallen Kingdom, please react to Battle at Big Rock and the Dominion Prologue. The first is a Jurassic World live-action short film that is canon
It's not covered in the movies, but the prevailing theory why the Spinosaurus is so aggressive in this movie is because it is a very early amalgam (hybrid), and was never intended to be an attraction at the park. So it was a genetic experiment that was left behind on the island. (InGen sending in the hunters to gather dinos in JP2, the Spino was never on InGen's list.)
6:21 Her question about whether an actor/actress has ever been forced to deal with the existence of themselves within a movie, the only example I can think of is Julia Roberts in Oceans 12.
It's amazing this movie came out as good as it did despite the general reception to it. The original script, which the actors signed on for, was almost immediately thrown out when filming began and rewritten multiple times. Most of the sets and animatronics were already built when the script was thrown out, so the subsequent drafts had to salvage the material already created for budget purposes while also coming up with an entirely new plot. Filming had already began while the actors were getting new scripts, and the conclusion to the film was written on set (and it shows).
Quick backstory regarding Ellie, in the second novel The Lost World (VERY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE FILM.), she doesn't appear but they do mention what happened to the survivors and in that she got married to someone else so they kinda used that backstory for her here in the film sadly. I really wanted her and Alan together. Oh well.
In the books they weren't even a couple, they had an almost father/daughter relationship. I think she was even already engaged in the first book. It was just added to try and artificially make drama, just like how they made Grant originally not like kids in the movies while in the book he loves kids cause he feels they are the only ones who share the same level of excitement & wonder for dinosaurs as he does. The movies kind of ruined a lot of characters cause they needed to make them into tropes. Gennaro, the lawyer, in the books survives the park and was one of the greatest characters ever. He goes with Muldoon to help rescue Grant & the kids, later helps when they need to kill the raptors (the park is almost infested since there are like several dozens of them), he gets attacked by a raptor in a hallway and fights it bare-handed until it runs away from him cause he punches it in the face.
I don’t usually leave comments but this movie I saw in the theatres when I was 6 when it first came out and I remember being scared quite a bit because the movie was loud for the spinosaurus sounds specifically and shook the floor that’s what my memory was. I see many flaws years later in the writing and effects but I can’t deny it’s still lots of fun to have on sometimes. Love your videos!!!
Overall I agree with you both. It's no where near as good as the first one (which is almost impossible to beat), but I do like JP3 a lot more than The Lost World. I was 21 and in college when it came out. I had seen all of the films in theaters. I enjoyed it as a good "popcorn movie." Nothing exceptional, but definitely entertaining. My only major criticism is that the film seems to end abruptly after the Navy and Military show up. I remember the first time I saw it, when they showed up I was thinking "Oh! Here we go!!!", fully expecting some dinosaurs (at minimum the main Spinosaurus) to show up to attack them, and for there to be some major end battle where the Military starts unloading ammo into them. I'm good with the short running time (it didn't need to be a super-long film), but it could have used more of a solid conclusion. As far as the second movie goes, it's not that Lost World is inherently a bad movie, and it has plenty of good actors in it, but overall there's little chemistry between most of the characters. The only relationship that I really believe is that with Malcolm and his daugther. I somewhat buy Malcolm's relationship with Julianne Moore's character, but not to the same extent that I did Grant and Ellie's in the original movie. The rest of the characters are just kind of "there." Vince Vaughn is fine in his role, but nothing remarkable. He's better in comedies, and you could easily replace him with almost any other actor in that movie and it really wouldn't matter. The same goes for the other guy with them (I forget both the actor's and character's names) who ends up getting eaten by the two T-Rexs. It's not that either of these characters were "bad," but rather just forgettable and nothing remarkable. Most of the villains are pretty forgettable. Hammond's nephew, who is the CEO of Ingen... I guess he works if having a relatively boring business guy as a main antagonist is what they are going for. The big game hunter who wants to kill a T-Rex is probably the most interesting "villain," and even he is largely forgettable - that actor has had much better roles. And most of the rest of the people working with them are kind of "meh" as well. The other thing that IMO doesn't help The Lost World is having Ian Malcolm front and center. In the first movie, while he did express his problems and opposition to the park in a serious manner, overall he was the sarcastic, wise-cracking comic relief, while still having a serious side. In the second movie, he's not the main lead and 100% serious. On paper the character shift DOES make sense since he went through that traumatic experience, I can see why he wouldn't be as goofy and wise-cracking this time around. But from an entertainment standpoint, a lot of what I liked about him in the original film is missing. While the new main characters in JP3 aren't necessarily anything exceptional, I found them to be more entertaining, and there seems to be a bit more chemistry between the characters in this one (nothing exceptional, but IMO more better than in the 2nd film). Grant being back as the lead works, as he is still pretty much the same character and didn't go through a tonal shift like Malcolm did.
I think The Lost World is far superior to the third film (and possibly even to the first) I liked Ian Malcolm a lot more in the second one than I did in the first.
The second one is definitely better in the book form, but of the original 3 movies I agree it to be the weakest. I find this third one definitely better and closer to the first one in the quality of the overall experience.
Regarding the way Dr. Sattler manage to get the marines and the US government to rescue Alan and the other, I believe they explained at the start of the movie, that the husband works for the government in international trade, maybe that's part of it.
I went to watch this movie with my family when I was a kid, I don't remember what exactly happened that day but what I do remember I was really happy that day and I enjoyed the hell out of the movie in theater and some scenes from the movie got stuck with me for a while and my sister and me talked about the movie for days. My sister is a huge fan of the series and my nostalgia levels go through the roof whenever I revisit the series so there is absolute zero criticism from me about the whole series... even the latest ones... And of course we're all excited about the next one
My least favorite thing about this movie (apart from Amanda Kirby's constant shrieking) is that the Spinosaurus killed the Tyrannosaurus rex, *MY #1 FAVORITE CARNIVOROUS DINOSAUR SPECIES* I do love how Charlie is watching the stage show "Barney's Musical Castle" as Ellie's talking to Alan on the satellite phone as he and the others are at the mercy of the Spinosaurus in the river. Yet another dinosaur I grew up with, let alone the literal first one I ever watched in my youth. Also, I will say that I do love interjecting my own dialogue into this scene: Paul: That's a bad idea!! Amanda: What's a bad idea?! ( Spinosaurus roars *LOUDLY* ) Me: That, you loud-mouthed dumbass
JP3 has always been my personal favorites as it was the first one I ever saw. I was born in 1998 and growing up I had a strong fascination with dinosaurs(still do to this day) and my parents and grandparents would always put this on for me along with the Land Before Time which is also a very good animated dinosaur movie. I am John Williams III so growing up whenever I would see the credits roll and see composed by John Williams I remember turning to my dad and asking him why he never told me he made the music for this movie and he would always laugh at me and say he wish he had that kind of money 😂
I enjoyed this movie. My wife hated the mother so much that she hated the movie. The Island is near Costa Rica. It's not like it's protected by the US government. there may have been a no-fly zone, but likely not well enforced. The pterodactyls were very unrealistic. Such creatures would have a hard time taking off. They would likely on'y be able to soar downward, like flying squirrels. Like the Albatross, one of the largest flying birds, they would need a long running takeoff otherwise, and definitely couldn't take off vertically, especially while carrying a person. I saw a hawk in my backyard that could barely fly over my fence with a dead squirrel.
Hey Holden and Jen! I was wondering if you guys are planning to watch the Brendan Fraser "The Mummy Trilogy" movies? I'm asking because I think Jen said digging up dinosaurs would be more interesting than digging up mummies. So I was wondering if she had ever watch any of Brendan Fraser Mummy movies. Because personally I think digging up mummies is very fascinating.
Imo, JPIII is the weakest... They made a mistake to me, killing the symbol of Jurassic Park (the T-Rex) and even change the logo for the Spino. In The Lost World, you have this first point to make a rescue mission, and everything change with the idea of InGen wanting to transport dinosaurs to create a new park. Here, you just have the rescue mission. The only good thing this movie brought to the saga is the fact the Raptors can communicate. The characters aren't very interesting, 2 of them just die in 2 minutes... I really think this movie gives a feeling of a TV movie and not so much as a cinema movie, compared to the others.
I love the happy ending with the up lifting music and smiling glances among the Kirbys. Ya know...despite the fact they’re going to prison for the rest of their lives. They hired mercs who all died and lied to and kidnapped Grant and entered a no fly zone breaking dozens of laws. Grant could sue the **** out of them. So could the costa Rican government, Ingen, etc.
loved this movie as a kid, was always my favorite, growing up now there are some scenes where i'm like "ehh, okay?" lol but overall still holds up to this day. i feel like this jurassic movie is like a horror/gruesome version of jurassic park/world lol, really amazing lol
The Dino-Soar parasail was operating illegally near Site B. It was explained after the group found the video camera that Tia Leone's character and the other guy in the parachute (her new boyfriend) and son were on vacation in Costa Rica when the two guys went on the parasail adventure. Operating out of a small Central American country, there would not be the kind of regulations and enforcement people in the US would expect. Anything for a literal buck!
I remember goin to the movies with my grandmother in Florida(Ocala) togo see this movie it was amazing can’t get enough of Jurassic 1/3 and Jurassic world was good Edit: I had those similar dreams as a kid scary as well I live up in the north as well in the woods so that was always the Scenery
If you have problems believing a 12 years old can survive on its own, then prepare for Jurassic World Cretacious Camp! No jk, that series is really good.
22:51 She managed to do that because her husband works for the government. I believe he was some ambassador or something, can't remember his exact role in the government but he works for them so of course he'd have some military connections + knowing that the general public was already familiar with what had happened during the events of The Lost World, so of course they sent an entire military division to rescue those stranded Americans! :)
The main reason why the Spinosaurus was chasing them is because in the runway scene where it eats Cooper, the plane pulls up, cutting the Spino's sail. The blood on the windscreen is the Spinosaurus's. It wanted to get back at them. 👍🦖
If I remember right, it's not a plot hole. Ellie Sattler 's husband is with the State Department so of course the military showed up in full force lol. They mention it in the first act of the movie when her husband came back home and all 3 of them were at the dining table talking about things.
I was really into Dinosaurs around when this movie came out. i believe the reason they thought to switch focus from the T. Rex was because they started to believe the T. Rex wasn't a predator but instead a scavenger. so they instead shifted to a predator that was bigger than the T. Rex, the Spinosaurus. I also know the "T. Rex vision is based on movement" was debunked and that's about all the knowledge I've retained. this does make me appreciate the later movies for focusing more on the fact that they aren't exact DNA matches to Dinosaurs. if the science your movies are based on changes then you can explain away any differences that arise over time with "they were mixed with XY&Z"

Ellie’s husband works for the state department so was able to call in a few favors to rescue Grant and the others.
That was the original island. This island is where all the actual cloning took place. The other island was for show only. Basically this was the farm and the island from the first movie was just the amusement park.
I can relate to the dinosaur nightmares. I had a few a a kid as well.
My grandma lived right next door from our house. They have a very green yard, tall trees, and beautiful garden. I had to hide from a T-Rex, behind the trees, and make my way to the gate that connected our back yards. When I went through the gate, to be home, I turned to find tritops everywhere. Ran out, across the street, to my neighbors house, and there were Pterodactyl’s swarming the yard. Woke up to go to the bathroom.
And one Dino nightmare when I was pregnant with my daughter. Was on Jurassic Boat Ride, and all the Animatronics came to life. Three raptor like rexes pulled apart my Aunt. I tried forcing myself awake when one bit her arm. Took me awhile to wake up. Last thing I remember is hearing her screech “Oh god! Oh god! Ohhh goddd!!!” 😭
Will you guys cover the rest of the Defenders shows now that they're on Disney+? Also CONGRATULATIONS on the upcoming nuptials wish you both all the best!
Ya'll missed a small line when Dr Grant was having dinner at Ellie's house. Ellie's husband worked for the State Dept. I don't remember if they mention his position but I always assumed he was fairly high up. He was the one who got the military rescue.
I'm So excited for your wedding! You two are great together!
Ellie's husband has a role has something to do with international relations... thats why she managed to send the army.
Food for thought, if they had been honest then Alan could have introduced them to Ellie's husband to rescue their son.
@@javiercega international relations is the State Dept. The director probably chose those words because he feared too many wouldn't recognize what the State Dept represents.
Also, that's an excellent point regarding a rescue attempt. However, I seem to recall the parents mentioning they had contacted the State Dept already. And while Ellie's husband would be moved to flex his influence to rescue one of his wife's closest friends, who is also a nationally known public figure, there's a good chance he wouldn't have risked his career had Grant simply asked for the rescue of a boy even Grant didn't actually know. It was the Stedad's own actions that caused the problem in the first place. And given there was a negligible chance either was still alive And a high risk of death for any rescue team I honestly couldn't fault the State Dept for turning them down. Dr Grant's presence gave credibility to the possibility of survivors. That changed the circumstances enough for the risk of rescue attempts. Though even then they only went as far as the beach.
Edited to better clarify a sentence. 😁
Jens’ tolerance for Holdens’ adult jokes is legendary, they’re gonna do fine together.
@@thebkgAdd to that that Ellie JUST talked to Alan, so they know he’s alive. When Erick went missing they had no contact with, his stepdad or the boat guys for who know how many hours before the mom reported them missing and then days and weeks with no communication, there was no reason to think they were alive
10:00 Paleontologist right here! Currently working on Triassic dinosaurs and their close-relatives
Get this man to the top!!!
How did you get your degree, if you don’t mind me asking? Paleontology has always been a dream career of mine.
@@Turtleform This heavily depend on which country we are talking about. Some do have undergraduate courses in paleontology, so it's pretty straightforward. Others will require you to start in another course (such as geology, biology) and then specialize in paleontology (which is what I did).
That’s awesome mate! Triassic is when most of the sauropods lived if I’m not mistaken? I always remember Cretaceous is when the T-rex lived, including my favourite dinosaur, the Parasaurolophus. I was a big dinosaur fan as a kid haha
@@PeterAtkinson That would be the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Early sauropodomorphs first appeared in the Triassic but they didn’t evolve into the forms you are familiar with until the late Jurassic.
It's funny you used that Jumanji clip in this, since both this and that film were both directed by Joe Johnston, the man who directed The Rocketeer, Captain America: The First Avenger, and help designed Boba Fett.
Jen was right with close ups, most of them are animatronics, which helps the film visuals hold up.
the only animatronic in the film is the spino, and the raptors. Everything else is bland green cgi apart from the carnitaurus (sp)?
also the petradons.
The deep impact joke was golden! And was only bested by Jen's shocked reaction to it haha rewound and watched that about 12 times before continuing the reaction (but not before a brief intermission to wipe the tears of laughter away) haha
"Golden" Hardman moments.
If he likes that sort of humor he would love Scanlan in The Legend of Vox Machina.
If she calls you full name….. RUN!!! 😂😂😂
It’s like when people say Alexander James Blatchford that’s when I know I’m in trouble
Spinosaurus were actually good swimmers. Had more of a tail they could use to propel themselves in the water
I’ve honestly been the most excited for this review over all your other reviews! I love Jurassic Park 3 and it’s probably the movie I’ve seen the most times in my life, like at least 50+ times when I was a kid! Hoping y’all love it but based on every other person’s review in the world of this movie idk that you will 😂
was looking for this praise for the movie, glad im not the only one
@@ddogjrwalk over the years I’ve only ever heard overwhelming hate for this movie, even more than the lost world but I’m glad people are coming around to it cause it’s a really fun movie
I love the third movie too
It’s a highly rewatchable popcorn flick. Just a hell of a lot of fun.
@@oaf-77 agreed, it’s not going for an Oscar nominated breath taking spectacle like the first one. Just a ton of fun in a universe you like
Joe Johnston, the film's director, hated the original script, which involved a couple of teenagers getting stranded on Isla Sorna, where they encounter Alan Grant, living in the island in a treehouse, studying the dinosaurs, while Johnston went on, saying "it felt like a bad episode of Friends."
The idea of teenagers getting stranded on the island would later become the basis for JURASSIC WORLD: Camp Cretaceous.
And that show turned out to be trash 😂
“Holden Thomas Hardman that was like, a level 10!” cracks me up every time. Jen is a treasure.
Fun Fact, when they walk down to the operations center you can see the vehicle Ian Malcom was in when the raptor was pushing its nose through the glass.
Holden, on the herbivores not being aggressive, many of today's herbivores are highly aggressive (elephant, hippos, cape African buffalo, rhinos, Canadian Geese). I would in general assume some would be territorial and a lot will defend their young to a point, again, just like today's herbivores.
One of the theories for why the spino follows them is they hurt its sail and its angry with them. I know its dumb but that is one theory.
Jen, I'm fairly certain the guys running the "DinoSails" parasailing company were not legally there. There general look and look of the boat kinda screams shady.
On the kid getting attacked 30min after grouping with other after 8 weeks of solo survival, I'm just gonna assume he was in survival mode and upon reuniting with his parents he reverted to being a kid and dependent on them.
On how Ellie got the military out there, her husband says he works for the State Department in international relations and treaty laws when they are eating dinner in the beginning. So there is your "how", even if it is a bit weak because Ellie says "so you know Marks been working for the State Department now," making it sound like he is newer and probably wouldn't have the connections and favors yet to pull off something like this.
Very good comment with insightful info. Thanks for that 👍🏽
Can't wait for Jen to see Jurassic World! Though in my opinion the first Jurassic Park is the best and think it's near impossible to beat, I still really like the the Jurassic World series thus far and look forward to seeing the third installment this summer...
Dominion feels like they're just gonna throw a bunch of member berries at us and hope we don't realise it's a crap movie. 😅
@@TwiStedReality1313 the last one was so disappointing
But Fallen Kingdom was such garbage... Legitimately the worst movie in the franchise by far. It took by far the worst idea ever conceived in the franchise and then doubles and triples down on it.
The animated series is canon and it’s pretty good
I hate the first JW with a passion for one reason: Ty Simpkins, aka Gray. Otherwise it's ok despite Bryce Dallas at times.
Love that the video length is 33:33 for the third movie, a nice touch
9:46 - That is actually my number one complaint about movies with dinosaurs in them: Dinosaurs were animals, pure and simple, and them would behave exactly like wild animals today do! They would not be raging through cities trying to eat people, they'd only hunt when hungry and they would go for mostly other animal prays (Many of them would not even be interested in humans as food: Some, like the Spinosaurus seen in this movie, were fish eaters and would probably not care for human flesh anyway)
Actually spinosaurus does still eat alot of meat. Especially when there’s no fish around e.g droughts. In Africa it would prey on Ouranosaurus and would be in conflict with another large predator A.K.A Carcharodontosaurus.
@@TheRealRip-Tide They stand corrected
It’s like how they show sharks in horror films, from what I’ve heard, sharks ain’t exactly a fan of how people taste 😂
@@thesenate530 not only that the roles shoyld be reversed. We hunt sharks down not the other way around but i guess realism often makes for bad tv
@@Arthera0 couldn’t agree more, but god forbid we show humans as the “monsters” in this situation 😂
Fun Fact: Joe Johnston directed this movie. The same man direct Jumanji & Captain America The First Avenger.
I thought I would give some dinosaur facts in case you were wondering about the accuracy of these movies: In the first movie Alan and Ellie are digging for velociraptors in Montana. This is pretty weird because velociraptors are found on the other side of the world in Mongolia not Montana. This might be because they based the raptors off of deinonychus which is a close relative who did live in Montana. The deinonychus idea would also explain the size as deinonychus was around the size of a person but real velociraptors were a only about the size of a turkey. The velociraptors in real life also would have had feathers covering their entire body instead of the reptilian scales. The compys in the second movie would also have had feathers. The dilophosaurus from the first movie is also pretty inaccurate. In the movie it was pretty small, had a extendible frill, and spat venom. In real life however they were closer in size to a polar bear and didn’t have the frill or the venom of the movie counterpart. Spinosaurus in this movie was also pretty inaccurate. The real life spinosaurus wouldn’t have been so aggressive as it ate fish and wouldn’t have chased after much larger prey. It also would have had a more crouched position and a more amphibian like tail that would’ve helped it swim better. The biggest inaccuracy in the series is that barely any of the animals are actually from the Jurassic. In the first movie only the brachiosaurus and the dilophosaurus were actually from the Jurassic period and the rest were from the Cretaceous. Also a little lesser know fact is that pteranodon and other flying reptiles were not dinosaurs. This also goes for all the marine reptiles that lived in the ocean. Also fun fact, dinosaurs aren’t extinct as their modern relatives are birds.
Funny enough, there actually IS a Dromeosaur that lived in Mongolia that DID get as big as the Raptors in the Jurassic franchise. In fact it was actually slightly BIGGER. It’s called Achillobator, named after the Greek hero Achilles (they named it such because this raptor had an absolutely massive Achilles’ tendon).
I have been rewartching lots of your videos lately, I live in Kyiv (Ukraine) and they are bringing me some level of comfort and make me smile even inbetween the explosions
❤️🙏🙏
Stay safe my friend!
Stay safe mate
10/10 on the deep impact joke Holden. I always get a kick out of Jen’s “Holden Thomas Hardman!” Reactions 😂
Trevor Morgan (Eric Kirby) was also in Barney's Great Adventure (1998)
So you can say he's had a few dinosaur run ins already
I was only 4 when JP3 released but it holds a special place in my heart too
$20 says on their Honeymoon, Holden’s gonna Dream of a Raptor calling his name.
I enjoyed JP3. It was more like a long TV episode than a blockbuster IMO but I found it entertaining.
Even if the movies are not so appealing to me, I watch strictly for Jen to call out Holden's govt name.
He should put a counter at the bottom adding up all those jokes up to the present movie/series.
Absolutely loved that "Deep Impact" comment by you Holden. Always love it when Jen says your full name in reaction 😂
Oh boy!!! Loving this series. It's a fantastic prep and rewatch for the new movie coming soon. Thanks guys. Love ya
Glad you guys loved this movie I couldn't. I hated mostly every character with exception for Alan and thought the action and everything was just underwhelming.
This was my first Jurassic Park film cinemas. Was 11 when I first saw it. Funny enough, I'd only seen one tv spot of this assumed the Spino was a Hybrid Dinosaur and during Summer School I wrote up a fan-fic of JP3 which had the classic characters return to the original island and the Spino was this hybrid dinosaur mixed with T-Rex and Raptor DNA and ended it with a T-Rex fighting it. Needless to say, I was kinda disappointed that wasn't the movie I got but was very happy with Jurassic World years after for somewhat fullfilling my 11 year old imagination. Also, as weird as JP3 is I like this film. Its short, fast paced and fun despite some flaws. I do wish Billy for example had remained dead. Pointless keeping him alive.
Haha I wrote jp fan fic but it was for the lost world before that came out when I was about 6 😂😂 I remember it had a scene in a jeep on the edge of a cliff during a dilophosaurus attack…
@@joshhunt4146 Being a kid and having a imagination was great. Now it's hard to come up with ideas without it feeling like a rip off of other things lol.
@@HeatKingMedia definitely, during lockdown I wanted to start writing again but everything I wrote I felt was far too similar to other existing things haha back at work now with a 1 year old so I really don’t have any time 😂😂
i actually enjoyed this movie. i love the spinosaurus, its one of my favorites. only real issue is that the cast isnt very strong, especially with the couple.
And that spinosaurus kills a Trex… it’s like saying C-3PO would kill a T-800 Terminator.
@@bruh949 well it’s a genetic monster as they already said, its much different than an actual spinosaurus would be lol
@@bruh949 Each large predator can defeat another large predator in a fight. Also comparing spino to C3PO is incorrect. It was more like T800 against another T800
@@dinozavrizm4534 The Tyrannosaurus had one of the strongest bite forces to ever exist and you're telling me it couldn't snap that spindly little neck? Meanwhile the Spinosaurus is using its highly fragile jaws, that are meant for fishing, to snap the T.Rex's neck that is made nearly completely out of muscle.
This came out the same summer as the Tim Burton Planet of the Apes.
I remember vividly my parents not letting me go see planet of the apes with my friends, but taking me to see JP3 lmao cuz i summarize "dinosaurs eating people is better than silly monkey evolution" and boy do i find that absolutely hilarious nowadays lol
My least favorite of the Jurrasic Park movies. I suppose it is a bit fun in spots, but my major beef with this one was the dino fight. And the Kirbys were a bit annoying at times, particularly the mom. Didn't care for the Spinosaurus. The first two were my favorite. I really enjoyed the first and second one. The story for this one I thought was the weekest of the 3 to me.
"You'll love when Holden unloads." Not sure about us man but you should keep the 'unloading' for Jen.
Is it wrong that I actually find the "Alan" scene generally funny ? Lol
It’s hilarious, I’m really not sure what their actual intention was when they filmed that scene
Not a paleontologist yet, but I am currently studying paleontology/biogeosciences as an undergrad. Oh, and I am a subscriber.
Not to peep on your relationship but you two are my favorite youtube couple I've been watching since my friend watches and seeing you 2 get married is awesome you better post fricking pictures
Holden :" you'll love it when I unload"
Who else was expecting a "holden Thomas Hardman " from Jen?
Straight up expected to hear him called by his full name 😂.
Jurassic Park III is UNDERRATED
I'm rarely going to really hate any film with Dinosaurs, 1,000,000 years BC, Valley of Gwangi, King Kong (1933), When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth, The Lost World (multiple versions starting in 1925)
Even when they're bad I find something to enjoy.
1925 Lost World still holds up.
Couldn't agree more! And don't forget Dinosaurus!, Planet of Dinosaurs, The Last Dinosaur, Carnosaur, etc...
Tea Leoni was also VERY awesome alongside Nicholas Cage in Family Man! I´d HIGHLY recommend you guys to check that one out. It has a lot of heart and flew under many people´s radar!
I went parasailing with my wife a few years ago. Thought I’d love it, but got very scared due to my fear of heights. Remind yourself that you’re strapped in. Otherwise, Godspeed Holden!
I always thought this was the 2nd movie when I was a kid, and when I discovered this was actually the 3rd, I was in shock.
I watched this as much as the first and I always enjoyed the rewatch. It's a nice Sunday morning or afternoon.
Velociraptors were like the wolf from the dinosaurs. They were smart and work in groups, at least those are the theory.
Why tho? It’s called Jurassic Park 3😂
@@MediaLoverChris02 😂😆 not sure, I think the second wasn't on TV that much and watching the original cast
JP Spinosaurus: kills T-Rex.
Anyone who knows an ounce of Palaeontology:
And I took that personally. Seriously C-3PO destroying a T-1000 terminator is more likely than for a Spinosaurus to kill a Tyrannosaurus, even if they’re altered in genes.
The reason the Spino was after them for the whole movie, was because when the plane took off at the start, it hit Spino's sail and drew blood. That hurt it and p-ed it off. It wanted revenge basically.
Also, those weren't Pterodactyls, they were Pteranodons, Pterodactyls were tiny in comparison.
I remember when I found out this film was coming out. I was 11 and I was a huge fan of the films and I first found out about this one when I went to see The Mummy Returns and saw the trailer! Imagine that! Finding out a film like this was coming out because you saw a trailer in the cinema. Would never happen today and I will never get that feeling again. Kind of ruined the mummy returns tho because all I was thinking about was jp3 and seeing Alan again (who was my favourite character)
This is definitely the second worst film in the franchise after Dominion. It was a real shame that it started this trend of downplaying and humiliating the T-Rex... But it has some entertainment and nostalgic value.
I’m glad that you both rated this movie so high, I love this movie but a lot of the Jurassic Park/World fandom hates it. I think it’s very underrated and I enjoy it every time I rewatch it! I like to do Jurassic Park/World marathons while I build furniture for my apartment
This one great.. not as good as the original but was good. Lost world and the most recent ones were just EH
@@CJ_Cantu_80 Lost World was SUPREME
@@MediaLoverChris02 not my fav but thank you for liking it like me
I love them all equally for giving us amazing Dinosaurs.
A lot of the fandom hates it because a lot of the fandom like Prehistory.
And lots of those lovers of Prehistory know that Spinosaurs killing a Tyrannosaurus is a unrealistically impossible sin on logic.
So excited for the newest movie! 🦖
Watched a video of a paleontologist reacting to dinosaurs in movies and he said T-Rex would not have lost that fight with the spinosaur (and predators avoid other predators in general) and that herbavores are actually pretty dangerous (think buffalo) 🦕they just won't eat you after they crush you 😬
This movie is the first in the series that is not based in a novel (since Crichton only wrote 2 books), but it brought some influences from those novels, like the pterodactyl part, that happened in the first book, together with a whole section about the aviary section of the park.
Check out the movies Deep Blue Sea(1999), Anaconda(1997), Tremors(1990), Predator(1987).
There’s a bonus feature in the dvd for Jurassic park 3 where a paleontologist explained that male velociraptors had feathers on their head. This is one of my favorite of the franchise, idk why some people hate it
And I don't understand how some people could hate TLW more than JP3 and the JW movies. The first two movies are iconic! We're all entitled, though.
Jen: "No sexual content?"
Friggin dinosaurs, ya know?
I'm 31 years old and watched the hell out of this movie when it came out. I still occasionally hear that ring tone in my head at the most random of times, and even now it makes me stop whilst my heart gives a flicker and I see that Spinosaurus standing there. Then I smile and carry on. Love this movie.
Frrrr its underrated
I had a dream I was in site B green trex ripped off my left arm I ran to the long grass to hide while the Spinosaurus came in out of nowhere to fight the trex again gaved me enough time to patch up my wound and runaway
Next Movie is Jurassic World it is set on the Island from the first Jurassic Park movie but 22 years after the events of the 1st Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park 3 and Jurassic Park The Lost World are set on Site B, Isla Sorna not Nublar like the rest of the movies
I wish you patreon subs would recommend Cloverfield and a 10 Cloverfield Lane. Or I’m gonna have to get his patreon!
Once you get to Fallen Kingdom, please react to Battle at Big Rock and the Dominion Prologue. The first is a Jurassic World live-action short film that is canon
It's not covered in the movies, but the prevailing theory why the Spinosaurus is so aggressive in this movie is because it is a very early amalgam (hybrid), and was never intended to be an attraction at the park. So it was a genetic experiment that was left behind on the island. (InGen sending in the hunters to gather dinos in JP2, the Spino was never on InGen's list.)
When you guys finish the jurassic world movies make sure to watch the short film battle at big rock and the prologue to jurassic world dominion
6:21 Her question about whether an actor/actress has ever been forced to deal with the existence of themselves within a movie, the only example I can think of is Julia Roberts in Oceans 12.
I'm pretty sure Ellie's husband was a marine soldier or something. That's why the US army showed up when she got the call from Alan.
It's amazing this movie came out as good as it did despite the general reception to it. The original script, which the actors signed on for, was almost immediately thrown out when filming began and rewritten multiple times. Most of the sets and animatronics were already built when the script was thrown out, so the subsequent drafts had to salvage the material already created for budget purposes while also coming up with an entirely new plot. Filming had already began while the actors were getting new scripts, and the conclusion to the film was written on set (and it shows).
The fact that Holden has seen these movies a bunch, and still makes those faces when the dinosaurs are killing people is hysterical.
Jen: the most disappointed "no sexual content?" Jen 10 mins later: "Holdman Thomas Hardman"
I would draw my favorite dinosaur 🦖🦕 spinosaurs.
Holden during the wedding:
"Do you, Thomas, take Jen to be your wife?"
*Holden looks at the guests*
"Who's to say?"
Quick backstory regarding Ellie, in the second novel The Lost World (VERY COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE FILM.), she doesn't appear but they do mention what happened to the survivors and in that she got married to someone else so they kinda used that backstory for her here in the film sadly. I really wanted her and Alan together. Oh well.
She was just a student of Alan's in the book. Not a couple in the book, just in the first movie.
In the books they weren't even a couple, they had an almost father/daughter relationship.
I think she was even already engaged in the first book.
It was just added to try and artificially make drama, just like how they made Grant originally not like kids in the movies while in the book he loves kids cause he feels they are the only ones who share the same level of excitement & wonder for dinosaurs as he does.
The movies kind of ruined a lot of characters cause they needed to make them into tropes.
Gennaro, the lawyer, in the books survives the park and was one of the greatest characters ever.
He goes with Muldoon to help rescue Grant & the kids, later helps when they need to kill the raptors (the park is almost infested since there are like several dozens of them), he gets attacked by a raptor in a hallway and fights it bare-handed until it runs away from him cause he punches it in the face.
I don’t usually leave comments but this movie I saw in the theatres when I was 6 when it first came out and I remember being scared quite a bit because the movie was loud for the spinosaurus sounds specifically and shook the floor that’s what my memory was. I see many flaws years later in the writing and effects but I can’t deny it’s still lots of fun to have on sometimes. Love your videos!!!
Jen, if you want dinosaurs and sexual content you can always try your luck with Discovery Channel....
Or the internet, though I'd advise caution with that...
Now that Spider-Man no way home is on digital, you need to have Matt react to it with you guys
11:12. You guys gotta watch invincible now 👍🏾
I'd like a cheeseburger plain, large fries, an orange fanta, and some damn apple slices
The best dinasour of all the movies shows the t-rex who is the real king of dinos!
Overall I agree with you both. It's no where near as good as the first one (which is almost impossible to beat), but I do like JP3 a lot more than The Lost World. I was 21 and in college when it came out. I had seen all of the films in theaters. I enjoyed it as a good "popcorn movie." Nothing exceptional, but definitely entertaining. My only major criticism is that the film seems to end abruptly after the Navy and Military show up. I remember the first time I saw it, when they showed up I was thinking "Oh! Here we go!!!", fully expecting some dinosaurs (at minimum the main Spinosaurus) to show up to attack them, and for there to be some major end battle where the Military starts unloading ammo into them. I'm good with the short running time (it didn't need to be a super-long film), but it could have used more of a solid conclusion.
As far as the second movie goes, it's not that Lost World is inherently a bad movie, and it has plenty of good actors in it, but overall there's little chemistry between most of the characters. The only relationship that I really believe is that with Malcolm and his daugther. I somewhat buy Malcolm's relationship with Julianne Moore's character, but not to the same extent that I did Grant and Ellie's in the original movie. The rest of the characters are just kind of "there."
Vince Vaughn is fine in his role, but nothing remarkable. He's better in comedies, and you could easily replace him with almost any other actor in that movie and it really wouldn't matter. The same goes for the other guy with them (I forget both the actor's and character's names) who ends up getting eaten by the two T-Rexs. It's not that either of these characters were "bad," but rather just forgettable and nothing remarkable.
Most of the villains are pretty forgettable. Hammond's nephew, who is the CEO of Ingen... I guess he works if having a relatively boring business guy as a main antagonist is what they are going for. The big game hunter who wants to kill a T-Rex is probably the most interesting "villain," and even he is largely forgettable - that actor has had much better roles. And most of the rest of the people working with them are kind of "meh" as well.
The other thing that IMO doesn't help The Lost World is having Ian Malcolm front and center. In the first movie, while he did express his problems and opposition to the park in a serious manner, overall he was the sarcastic, wise-cracking comic relief, while still having a serious side. In the second movie, he's not the main lead and 100% serious. On paper the character shift DOES make sense since he went through that traumatic experience, I can see why he wouldn't be as goofy and wise-cracking this time around. But from an entertainment standpoint, a lot of what I liked about him in the original film is missing.
While the new main characters in JP3 aren't necessarily anything exceptional, I found them to be more entertaining, and there seems to be a bit more chemistry between the characters in this one (nothing exceptional, but IMO more better than in the 2nd film). Grant being back as the lead works, as he is still pretty much the same character and didn't go through a tonal shift like Malcolm did.
I think The Lost World is far superior to the third film (and possibly even to the first)
I liked Ian Malcolm a lot more in the second one than I did in the first.
Here’s you daily reminder to watch The Clone Wars
The second one is definitely better in the book form, but of the original 3 movies I agree it to be the weakest. I find this third one definitely better and closer to the first one in the quality of the overall experience.
Regarding the way Dr. Sattler manage to get the marines and the US government to rescue Alan and the other, I believe they explained at the start of the movie, that the husband works for the government in international trade, maybe that's part of it.
Also she's dr sattler, if she said "there's dinosaur trouble" they better get Fn moving
Ellie is married to someone in the Government so she has connections to that sort of a rescue
I went to watch this movie with my family when I was a kid, I don't remember what exactly happened that day but what I do remember I was really happy that day and I enjoyed the hell out of the movie in theater and some scenes from the movie got stuck with me for a while and my sister and me talked about the movie for days. My sister is a huge fan of the series and my nostalgia levels go through the roof whenever I revisit the series so there is absolute zero criticism from me about the whole series... even the latest ones... And of course we're all excited about the next one
At this point I just watch for Holden’s jokes🤣
That deep impact joke was so perfectly planned 👌
I love when you say something risqué and Jen always reprimands you lol. It's cute.
Wow, the wedding is so soon! I hope you guys have a great wedding, and a very special honeymoon, you both deserve it.
My least favorite thing about this movie (apart from Amanda Kirby's constant shrieking) is that the Spinosaurus killed the Tyrannosaurus rex, *MY #1 FAVORITE CARNIVOROUS DINOSAUR SPECIES*
I do love how Charlie is watching the stage show "Barney's Musical Castle" as Ellie's talking to Alan on the satellite phone as he and the others are at the mercy of the Spinosaurus in the river. Yet another dinosaur I grew up with, let alone the literal first one I ever watched in my youth.
Also, I will say that I do love interjecting my own dialogue into this scene:
Paul: That's a bad idea!!
Amanda: What's a bad idea?!
( Spinosaurus roars *LOUDLY* )
Me: That, you loud-mouthed dumbass
JP3 has always been my personal favorites as it was the first one I ever saw. I was born in 1998 and growing up I had a strong fascination with dinosaurs(still do to this day) and my parents and grandparents would always put this on for me along with the Land Before Time which is also a very good animated dinosaur movie. I am John Williams III so growing up whenever I would see the credits roll and see composed by John Williams I remember turning to my dad and asking him why he never told me he made the music for this movie and he would always laugh at me and say he wish he had that kind of money 😂
I enjoyed this movie. My wife hated the mother so much that she hated the movie. The Island is near Costa Rica. It's not like it's protected by the US government. there may have been a no-fly zone, but likely not well enforced.
The pterodactyls were very unrealistic. Such creatures would have a hard time taking off. They would likely on'y be able to soar downward, like flying squirrels. Like the Albatross, one of the largest flying birds, they would need a long running takeoff otherwise, and definitely couldn't take off vertically, especially while carrying a person. I saw a hawk in my backyard that could barely fly over my fence with a dead squirrel.
Hey Holden and Jen! I was wondering if you guys are planning to watch the Brendan Fraser "The Mummy Trilogy" movies? I'm asking because I think Jen said digging up dinosaurs would be more interesting than digging up mummies. So I was wondering if she had ever watch any of Brendan Fraser Mummy movies. Because personally I think digging up mummies is very fascinating.
Imo, JPIII is the weakest... They made a mistake to me, killing the symbol of Jurassic Park (the T-Rex) and even change the logo for the Spino. In The Lost World, you have this first point to make a rescue mission, and everything change with the idea of InGen wanting to transport dinosaurs to create a new park. Here, you just have the rescue mission. The only good thing this movie brought to the saga is the fact the Raptors can communicate. The characters aren't very interesting, 2 of them just die in 2 minutes... I really think this movie gives a feeling of a TV movie and not so much as a cinema movie, compared to the others.
I love the happy ending with the up lifting music and smiling glances among the Kirbys. Ya know...despite the fact they’re going to prison for the rest of their lives. They hired mercs who all died and lied to and kidnapped Grant and entered a no fly zone breaking dozens of laws. Grant could sue the **** out of them. So could the costa Rican government, Ingen, etc.
Her reaction to the poop scene. 😂
loved this movie as a kid, was always my favorite, growing up now there are some scenes where i'm like "ehh, okay?" lol but overall still holds up to this day. i feel like this jurassic movie is like a horror/gruesome version of jurassic park/world lol, really amazing lol
The Dino-Soar parasail was operating illegally near Site B. It was explained after the group found the video camera that Tia Leone's character and the other guy in the parachute (her new boyfriend) and son were on vacation in Costa Rica when the two guys went on the parasail adventure. Operating out of a small Central American country, there would not be the kind of regulations and enforcement people in the US would expect. Anything for a literal buck!
I remember goin to the movies with my grandmother in Florida(Ocala) togo see this movie it was amazing can’t get enough of Jurassic 1/3 and Jurassic world was good
Edit: I had those similar dreams as a kid scary as well I live up in the north as well in the woods so that was always the Scenery
Watching you two react to my childhood films is definitely one of the best things i found these last 2 years!
If you have problems believing a 12 years old can survive on its own, then prepare for Jurassic World Cretacious Camp!
No jk, that series is really good.
22:51 She managed to do that because her husband works for the government. I believe he was some ambassador or something, can't remember his exact role in the government but he works for them so of course he'd have some military connections + knowing that the general public was already familiar with what had happened during the events of The Lost World, so of course they sent an entire military division to rescue those stranded Americans! :)
YOUR GIRLFRIEND REACTION TO WATCHES JURASSIC PARK III (2001 ) FILM - FOR FIRST TIME WAS FUNNY !!!!
The main reason why the Spinosaurus was chasing them is because in the runway scene where it eats Cooper, the plane pulls up, cutting the Spino's sail. The blood on the windscreen is the Spinosaurus's. It wanted to get back at them. 👍🦖
You guys should check out Valhalla, it's in the same world as Vikings but follows the story of Leif Erikson.
If I remember right, it's not a plot hole. Ellie Sattler
's husband is with the State Department so of course the military showed up in full force lol. They mention it in the first act of the movie when her husband came back home and all 3 of them were at the dining table talking about things.
"How were they parasailing so close to the island?" The secret ingredient... is crime.
I was really into Dinosaurs around when this movie came out. i believe the reason they thought to switch focus from the T. Rex was because they started to believe the T. Rex wasn't a predator but instead a scavenger. so they instead shifted to a predator that was bigger than the T. Rex, the Spinosaurus. I also know the "T. Rex vision is based on movement" was debunked and that's about all the knowledge I've retained. this does make me appreciate the later movies for focusing more on the fact that they aren't exact DNA matches to Dinosaurs. if the science your movies are based on changes then you can explain away any differences that arise over time with "they were mixed with XY&Z"
Jurassic Park 3 maybe a Underrated movie but its not as bad as people thinks! I Wish this movie was at least 15 or 25 minutes longer.
