Jurassic Park III is better than this.


And that movie had a talking dinosaur in a dream sequence. But at least that bad movie had the sense to only be 1.5 hours long.

I thought Dominion was 2/3 of a good movie. It falls apart a bit in the third act, unfortunately, because I was enjoying it quite a bit up until that point.

Based on the strength of Acts I and II, I'd say it's still better than JPIII, though it's unfortunate we didn't get a more satisfying conclusion to the JW trilogy.

"Dominion" didn't give me Jurassic Park vibes. None of the dinosaurs felt authentically there because the CGI was bad. That sequence where Chris Pratt is riding his motorcycle to the plane was poorly executed. I didn't like JPIII at all, but at least I felt the dinosaurs were a threat and and the movie was way shorter.

I didn't have a problem with the CGI, but I will agree that it didn't really FEEL like a Jurassic Park movie. During the part where they were globe-trotting it felt more like a spy thriller than it did a JP film, so it certainly felt like something different for the franchise, but I did find it entertaining so I didn't complain much.

It's pretty crazy how erratic this whole franchise has been. Only the first film is great. Everything else has been very hit and miss.

The Lost World sucked, but it did have great moments. It fell apart a lot for me after that.

The Lost World is a superb movie.

Waaay Better!!

After watching "Dominion", I promised never to say anything bad about JPIII again.

reply

Jurassic Park III is definitely better than “Dominion” and “Fallen Kingdom.”

I just watched it again. Loved the aviary scene at the end with the Pterodactyls.

I saw JPIII last year for the first time since it first came out. I didn't like it. But after I saw Dominion, I had such an appreciation for JPIII. At least it felt like a Jurassic Park film and wasn't overbloated with CGI.

I seriously hope you're joking.

Jurassic World: Dominion is 100000000000 times better than the horrendous Jurassic Park 3.

Jurassic Park 3 is an abomination and an insult to the JP series.

reply

Not joking. Both are shit, but at least JPIII had some feeling of a Jurassic Park film. Event the effects were better. And the film didn't had the sense to not drag on.

reply

You must be joking.

Only JP3 was shit.

JP3 had no feeling at all of Jurassic Park. It felt like a bad parody/comedy of the original movies. It was unbelievably pathetic.

RottenTomatoes:
Jurassic Park III: 49%
Jurassic World Dominion: 29%

IMDb:
Jurassic Park III: 5.9
Jurassic World Dominion: 5.6

Metacritic:
Jurassic Park III: 42
Jurassic World Dominion: 38

The consensus is pretty much that Jurassic Park III is less shit.

reply

Wrong.

User critics aren't as much for Dominion for now and Dominion has way better ratings.

The consensus is that Jurassic Park 3 is an abomination and the worst ever JP movie.
