Jurassic Park III, despite what the critics say (what do they know?), is quite an enjoyable movie.
If you watch with the expectation of not expecting too much then you'll be rewarded with the usual dino-treats, stunning visual displays and the added bonus of superb sound.
The plot is a little thin, OK it's transparent but considering its our third return to this magical cloning theme park it is to be expected. The writer has made the correct choice by not making it a necessity to those new to the JP world to have experienced parts I & II before hand and despite the usual Hollywood charm of yet another happy ending I would thoroughly recommend the film to others if only to fill a spare 90 minutes in their lives.
It's a popcorn factor movie, nothing more and nothing less. However I would have personally preferred to have watched a flick that I could have got my teeth into. ...and as for a JP IV, don't count your dinosaur eggs just yet.

It is a rare pleasure to witness on screen a film which not only is enjoyable to watch but will also leave you with a sense of darkness, sorrow and regret.
Strong dialogue and even stronger emotions are displayed by Al Pacino's "live on the edge" character Lowell Bergman and Russel Crowe's whistle-blowing Jeffrey Wigand will leave you saddened and hooked whilst the remainder of the cast give the performances of their lives.
It's a tale of truth which slowly emerges whilst a character's faith quickly falls. A true masterpiece if ever there was one.

It's not that often a film can instantly grab my attraction from the very opening scene, Run Lola Run however is a different story.
It is simply an explosion of the heart, mind and soul which leaves you questioning whether what you've actually seen is for real or not.
It's not your typical run-of-the-mill film, there is no beginning, middle or end set up in the way you've come to expect. The real work with this film is in post production. I've yet to see a film which has managed to master the art of split screen editing, Run Lola Run does this with accuracy and perfection.
With the added bonus of a soundtrack which accompanies the mood of the movie with such elegance, the use of sly animation and the wonderful portrayal of a love struck troubled teen excellently played by Franka Potente, I'd recommend this film to the majority of movie fans who crave a slice of alternative action.
One huge export from Germany and a definite "must see."
