My Comments:

The original adventure/thriller that took the box office by storm with it's cutting-edge special effects and a universally appealing theme. However, one thing this and the rest of the Jurassic Park series sorely lacks is character development. I actually find myself wanting to see people get eaten because I don't know enough about them to care and because it would be cool to watch.
