A sad show where what are often presented leading minds in their respective fields talk about wild hypothesis and theories rarely saying it could all be a "maybe", often boasting them with a "it's now believed" when it's not and pretending to understand everything from just a few clues (nearly everything is a "know" and not a "could be"). It's disgusting to see how they show no respect for science whatsoever, they don't even think about the fact that they are talking to people who don't have any kind of real knowledge about these subjects and could take everything they say as pure gold.
The CG isn't bad at all compared to other dinosaur shows (I refuse to describe them as documentaries) and the animations are kind of good too. In the end... since there is a huge lack of serious dinosaur shows and documentaries out there I forced myself to watch this as long as I could see decent CG reconstructions of dinosaurs. I also liked the few reliable informations they gave (even if I still have to double check them...).
If you want to watch this just please keep in mind that this isn't something to take too seriously... the science in it is forced and "Dinosaur George" should go study some more for the sake of the people that believe everything he says...
P.S. Why every time I watch an American show/documentary about these animals they only use superlatives to describe them? Everything must be the BIGGEST! STRONGEST! THE MOST EVIL! THE MOST FEROCIOUS! even when they are not...

OMG, this is the worst dinosaur documentary I have ever seen! This show should have never been produced because of many, many reasons. The dinosaurs are well beyond inaccurate even during the time the series was made: raptors being featherless, theropods having pronated wrists, every dinosaur being shrink-wrapped even when healthy, etc. Not only that, but some of their "dinosaurs" don't have anything like their real counterparts, for example, their depiction of "Pachyrhinosaurus" is shown with a nasal horn like other ceratopsid, when it didn't in real life, and their "Majungatholus" (which was actually Majungasaurus) is shown with highly-developed theropod arms and long hind legs, which is the complete opposite of the real animal. Not only that, but they depict every carnivore as bloodthirsty monsters killing everything and constantly roaring at the top of their lungs every two seconds, and herbivores as canon fodder (being helpless meatsacks) for the predators to eat, which is false in reality (imagine if elephants are predator fodder for foxes... yeah, I know. This is really dumb.) and seems to only appeal toxic awesomebro people and not actual paleontologists. Ceratosaurus, in particular, is also portrayed as a weakling and bullied every time Allosaurus shows up, and that makes me feel really bad for Ceratosaurus (even its design is inaccurate). Not only that, but nearly every carnivore makes really stupid decisions, for example, in Bloodiest Battle episode (a really cringy title), a group of Allosaurus makes a "smart" decision and try to hunt a fully grown healthy Camarasaurus instead of eating the carrion of Ceratosaurus and young Stegosaurus (or even finish off a weakened adult Stegosaurus), and guess what? They get killed by the massive sauropod, such a dumb idea only a completely insane and incompetent animal would do. And finally, this show literally lies to its audience, like stating that "T-Rex had an infectious bite" or "Dromaeosaurus used hand signals to communicate". Ugh, I believe that this is what led to the "Dinosaur Dark Era" of dino documentaries, with almost no good dinosaur documentary until Prehistoric Planet (the best dinosaur documentary of all time, with Walking with Dinosaurs being the second best in my opinion) on Apple TV premiered. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB, AND IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN.
I hate Jurassic Fight Club for 3 main reasons. The first reason I despise this show is that it's inaccurate, even for the time. Some examples of things that were inaccurate, even when the show came out are Majungasaurus having defined forearms, Pachyrhinosaurus having a nasal horn, Deinonychus and other dromaeosaurs not having feathers, and SEVERAL OTHERS. The second reason why I loathe Jurassic Fight Club is that the editing is annoying and almost gives you a mini-seisure because there are too many fast-pased jump cuts and ugly color filters. The last reason why I have DISDAIN for this series is that it's ONLY about dinosaurs killing each other, and whenever this peice of crap masquerading as a documentary brings up something that's not about killing, it only spends only a few minutes on that subject so it can just get to the bloodshed quicker. Dinosaurs were regular animals and didn't fight to the death for no reason apart from some "endless hunger". This is a documentary, and documentaries are supposed to be educational, but Jueassic Fight Club LIES TO ITS AUDIENCE. 1 out of 10, would not reccomend.
This show has a very interesting idea, but unfortunately, its potential was not fully realized. Dinosaurs fascinate most people because they are shrouded in mystery. The CGI reconstruction of the fight scenes are very well done, even though there might be inaccurate in some cases, but in my opinion, that's part of the fun, the fact that you can play with the presentation a bit.
On the other hand, despite the good idea and great CGI rendering, the show's major problem is it's time. The show has 45 minute long episodes and it is very repetitive. The announcer and paleontology experts repeat the facts many times, and you can't help but feel that they think you're dumb. I think this show would of worked better in a 25-30 minute time-frame, giving the great feeling and graphics, but wouldn't be repetitive and boring.

- TriviaDespite the fossil evidence that suggests that the raptor-like dinosaurs were covered (at least partially) with feathers, this show continues to show them with scales, a rather obsolete image nowadays. The animals in question are only shown to have worn feathers on the back of their heads, on their arms, and along their tails, or, in one case, nowhere. According to the creators, this is due to budget issues and technical limitations, although the episodes that focus on mammals did manage to animate the animals with hair.
- GoofsThe show constantly depicted carnivorous dinosaurs with pronated hands (with their palms facing down or back). These animal's were unable to twist their hands this way. Fossil evidence shows they constantly held them with the palms facing inward. To turn their palms downward, they would have had to twist their whole arms.
