+tSp289 i would not say the best, because to me, the dark knight, silence of the lambs, star wars, jaws, inception, the godfather are all on par with jurassic park. but jurassic park is the most entertaining movie i have ever watch. it touched almost every movie genre. it has adventure, horror, sci-fi, love story, action, etc.
Jurassic Park and The Lost World Jurassic Park were childhood favorite movies of mine. I remember watching them a whole lot when I was younger. These movies hold a special place in my heart alongside Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
I too love Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park when I was younger too. And honestly, I have sorta of a soft spot for Jurassic Park III. It's a guilty pleasure for me.
Hell yeah mate. I still mentally do it now as a young adult, whenever I emerge victorious out of a test, or a date, or sport game. Doesn't that it rarely happens, doesnt matter what it is I win, when I walk out of the room and pretending in my head that I'm all Dino-Jesus roaring, I feel like a badass.... Yeah this movie wont go anyway soon. By the way, the Veloceraptors in the film are actually the Deinonychus, real Veloceraptors were just turkey-sized.
Got to see Jurassic Park in 3D in theaters last night with my son and it was one of the most memorable cinematic experiences I’ve ever had. First I didn’t even realize it was in 3D until we got the glasses, I was just excited to see it in theaters. I grew up with this movie watching it countless times and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and my heart was racing during each intense moment. My son and I have seen all of the Jurassic World movies in theaters as many times as we could because we love this franchise but I gotta say this was right on top with seeing the park realized in World coming right behind it. Just incredible.
What really helped with the 3D effects were the angles the movie was originally shot in. Moving through grass, having stuff in the foreground but focused in the background, moving past things that had great dimension even in just the regular film. The 3D was absolutely fantastic, and I hope they do The Lost World: Jurassic Park, too.
Agreed. The 3D conversion was absolutely amazing. It especially feels more real compared to other blockbusters, because almost all the scenes are actual footage instead of instead of the grainy CGI that's in most of the greenscreen crapfests. The image was immensely sharp and so full of depth, that it almost felt like this movie was made for post 3D-conversion. I have lost all hope for TLW:3D, but I'd be the fist in line to buy a ticket. Awesome sequel, and the first movie I ever saw in cinemas.
Jurassic Park - Worth Buying on Blu-Ray Jurassic Park The Lost World - Good Time No Alcohol Required Jurassic Park III - Good Time If You're Drunk Jurassic World - Won’t Remember in T-Minus 1 Day
Gresh854 Jurassic Park - Worth seeing in theaters and buying on Blu-ray The Lost World: Jurassic Park - Good time if you're drunk. Jurassic Park III - Good time if you're drunk Jurassic World - Barely worth buying on Blu-Ray, but still worth it.
They should have made the fight more intense and awesome. The T-Rex was the main dinosaur from the last two Jurassic Park films and it died in about a minute. That always pissed me off. T-Rex can lose but make it awesome.
Jurassic park is the greatest movie ever of all time for me. Love it grew up with it saw it in 3D going to see jurassic world when it comes out. Love the franchise!
When I was a kid I watched this on DVD nonstop on a daily basis, bought dinosaur books and toys and drew dinosaurs all over the walls in my house (you might not believe it, but my house was actually, literally covered with dinosaur drawings). This movie affected my life deeply.
In 1993 during my Senior year in high school my English teacher had made our class for each individual to read the novel of "Jurassic Park" like in chapters for homework and we had to give like a group report as a whole on the concept of the story, prior to the movie being released. When the movie was going to be in theaters our English teacher suggested we all go see it together, and about a little more than half the class did show up to go see it at the movie theater. That was pretty cool.
I love the way you do your reviews, you really know how to share the fun side of things. They are entertaining and enjoyable. Congratulations for the good work. I also like how you said The Lord of the Rings trilogy are your favourite films ever made (mine too) and that this score is your favourite (certainly my most nostalgic one too, and one of my very very favourites) :)
Right on the money bro. I remember watching Jurrasic park at the cinema star in moreno valley CA and still love it. Its in the genre of movies eveybody 20-30 watched back then, and still makes me feel like a kid again. "Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Sadler, welcome to Jurrasic park."
I have never been in a movie theater so packed with people that I had to sit on the stairs for the entire duration, and more kept coming until there was no place to sit your butt down. That moment of silence as the heavy thumping caused ripples in the glass of water, then over a thousand people screaming in unison and the laughter that followed as everyone looked to the stranger beside them screaming just a loud. Jurassic Park. Good times man, good times!
yep, that's it. I think Lost World gets way too much shit. Of course it isn't as good as the first one and there are plotholes, but hey, I even LOVE the San Diego part. The third one...I like it. The story is lame, but hey, it's still an awesome dinoflick, and dinoflicks are a genre with may too little films. I mean...we have Jurassic Park and that disney film, but all in all that's it. And in that standard, I'm happy with JP3 since I love dinosaurs. And they are wonderful in JP3. The Spinosaurus makes up for the weak plot big time!
I totally agree with this. I have to say though that the girl in JP2 kicking the raptor while doing the high bar flipty loo's makes me cringe every time and that one scene, for me, brings the whole movie down a notch. Both of the books are great though and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who still reads.
JP is my all time favourite movie. it was awesome. the dinosaurs, the characters, the setting, the special effects, the allegory. everything. and whats even better is that it is just as aesome as it was back in the 90's. Can't wait for Jurassic World, the franchise really needs a good movie after JP3
JP is def in my top 5 movies. pretty much for all the reasons you said. to this day i still use the phrases "hold onto your buts" , "must go faster" , and "clever girl".
I didn't see Jurassic park until four years ago when I was talking with my grandma and she brought it up.... Needless to say we watched the entire trilogy the night after and I am forever grateful.
Jurassic Park: Awesometacular The Lost World Jurassic Park: Good time no alcohol required Jurassic Park 3: Good Time if you're drunk Jurassic World: Buy it on Blu Ray (hopefully)
+ShandalfGreyhame No, it would take a massive snob not to put it in the top 20, if not the top 5. It was paced perfectly, acted really well and it managed to single handedly prove that CGI can work in films, literally setting a standard for decades to come. Plus it has a good few absolute standout scenes that get printed onto your memory: first time you see a dinosaur, t-rex car chomping and looking in the window, car in the tree, brachiosaurus sneeze, t-rex roaring in the atrium and of course raptors in the kitchen. I think everyone who watched it had nightmares about that t rex looking in the window. You know, where you're in bed with a t rex outside and your alarm clock goes off and you can't decide whether to turn it off and risk it seeng the movement or leave it and have it come towards the sound? Yeah, I am not the only person to have had that nightmare. No other film has ever done that to me.
***** Don't get me wrong,Jurassic Park is my favourite movie ever but feelings aside, although Jurassic Park is a really good movie it is not a perfect movie. There are quite a few movies which are near perfect and Jurassic Park is not one. It's not on the same level as say, the Godfather or the Shawshank Redemption. Does that make it a bad movie? Absolutely not,I've watched Jurassic Park a heck of a lot more times then the Godfather.
ShandalfGreyhame I think it is though. I really enjoyed the Godfather, but I think that Jurassic Park is its equal, not only in terms of actual cinematography and story but definitely in innovation and impact. Both films pretty much created or revived their genre and massively raised the bar for expectations. Jurassic Park is more of a popular film than a critic's film, but it's an example of mainstream Hollywood hitting the nail squarely on the head''. It's on a similar level to Terminator 2 or Aliens, in that it was a big-budget film, where the Godfather was more like say, Blade Runner, The Third Man or the original Alien film in that it was undoubtedly great but is more aimed at critics and cinema buffs. Jurassic Park was one of those rare films that was a massive commercial success AND made the critics come out smiling all over their snarky little faces.
What makes a great movie to me, is not only the movie itself, but how it was made. The effects, the models, everything spielberg and his team did was awesometacular. By those standard, its in the top 5 for me. Similar to jackson and return of the king, lucas/Kirschner with empire strikes back, cameron with T2, etc.
So, like, I haven't met a man in this world that loves Jurassic Park, and is as passionate about Jurassic Park as I am. Do, you, wanna ah....you wanna maybe get a drink later? Talk some dinosaurs?
Jurassic Park is so awesome that whenever I think about it, I get a gigantic grin. And the Themed area in universal studio's Island of Adventure, I never wanted to leave the jurassic park area it was sooooo well done.
Watched this back In the day, was the loudest film in Showcase cinema, dinosaurs stomping around, floor was rumbling, I told my friends i needed a pair of huggies, they all agreed. One of the best films of all time.
Jurassic Park was my childhood, cause I didn't like Barbie and dolls when I was a I young 3 year old girl, no, I WANTED A FUCKING DINOSAUR! I WATCH JURASSIC PARK EVERY WEEK FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
I always put on jurassic park when im bored or I just want it on in the background because that is my movie, I saw that in 3D in the theater and saw on a blow up screen at the park, love this movie
I was only 1 year old when Jurrasic Park came out( I saw it in theathers but yeah, I didn't remember it) so when I heard it was coming back to theaters, I was stoked. I LOVED it! The scene where the T-Rex attacks the jeep with Tim and Lexi inside was one of the best movie moments ive ever seen on the big screen.....I honestly cant think of another movie scene that compares to it.
I'm terrified for the new film. like what if it's a massive let down then my childhood would die (but that kinda happened after watching the second and third one)
Jurassic Park was and always will be one of my most favorite movies of my childhood. Where it ranks all time for me is tough cause its a very fluid list but for its time. FANTASTIC.
I first saw this movie in theaters when I was 6 years old and was blown away. I took my 6 year old nephew to see it in IMAX 3D and all of those memories came flooding back. This film is an awesome experience.
Jurassic Park to me is a perfect movie. Like everything is perfect. The characters, the story, the music, the dialogue. It's just brilliant. I fucking love Jurassic Park. It's my all time favorite movie.
Jurassic Park: 10/10 - Totally Awesome! The Lost World: 8/10 - Very Good - Might have been better with Alan? Jurassic Park 3: 7/10 - Still good, "Is this how you make dinosaurs?" "No, this is how you play God."
drby0788 Problem with using points for rating (and one of the reasons it's stupid) is giving 3/10 to JP 3 means it's as bad as or only 1 or 2 points higher than Birdemic and Room.
Jurassic Park in my opinion is the best movie made. This makes up my childhood and is my favorite movie of all time no matter what movie comes out. Nothing can compare to this beauty and I applaud and bow down to Spielberg for making it so great for all ages!!!
What you said about the special effects and music are spot on! The CGI holds up amazingly, but even better are Stan Winston's animatronics. The scene with the T-rex bashing down the car was, and still is, unbelievably realistic. As for the musical score.. John William's best, I'd say!
Not ashamed to say when I saw JP when it was first released, I teared up when the brachiosaur made its appearance. It is also to date the only movie I have seen theatrically on three different continents.
I'm sure he will when more info or a trailer is released for it. Right now all we really know are a couple of the actors and that its set 20 years after the first JP. Not much to do a video about yet.
if you have not ever seen jurrasic park by now, where have you been for the past 20 years omg this movie was amazing as fuck i was born in 93 when the movie came out but i saw it a few years later and i loved the other 2 ehhh not so great kinda hoping the new other is good :3
It is one of the greatest films ever made for many many many many reasons. I love that movie, it is my childhood. And when I listen to the theme just as you said, you are transported to that film. I re watch that movie every so often to remind myself of what movies could be and how many films today unfortunately aren't. Where did that kind of magic go?!
Here's how I rate the Jurassic Park series: Jurassic Park: AMAZING!!!! The Lost World: Really good Jurassic Park III: Not as good as the first Can't wait for Jurassic World in the summer
This movie is awesometacular and it definitely by far one of Steven Spielberg's best movies and one of the best movies ever. Along with one of the best sci-fi films ever
Now just remember , be as loud as you can , flashing the light in a dinosaurs eye really helps if you wanna live , also making sudden movements helps a lot and don't forget to always leave your guns behind and be as stubborn and stupid possible !
There is a scene in the movie where the group is being attacked by raptors and instead of handing Dr.Satler the gun Tim just stands there hitting a chair over and over again for no reason at all.
Alex ghz 2 is all three of the Lord of the Rings movies and 1 is all three of the original Star Wars trilogy. Reasons for that is because I don't see those 2 trilogies as 3 movies; I see them both as a single story told in 3 parts. If that makes any sense.
Jurassic Park: Awesometacular Lost World: Awesometacular (even though the first is better) JP3: Dogshit Jurassic World: Probably good time no alcohol required.
First movie I remember seeing in theaters as a 5 year old. First action-figure set I've fully collected. I can't imagine my life without having seen Jurassic Park.
I love Jurassic Park! I squealed like a fangirl when I went to Hawaii and saw where they filmed the Gallimimus scene. Then at the airport in Sydney (I'm from Australia) as we were waiting for a taxi, Sam Neil (Alan Grant) was there :D. He said 'Hi' to us and gave us his taxi coz he was in front. Nice guy :D
I was a crybaby as a kid so my parents had to take me out of the theater after the first scene. I went back and watched it five years later and absolutely adored it.
You are so adorable. I loved Jurassic Park and now I know I need to see it in 3D.I was going to anyway, but your review made me want to see the movie even more. Don't stop reviewing!
Whenever I mention the soundtrack, all I need say is "John Williams" because, what else is there to say? He created some the most brilliant and iconic film scores ever! I remember when I saw "Lincoln", I was struck by the music, roll credits and oh look! John Williams. My opinions on "best" change a lot, so I never put orders on them, but Jurassic Park, the movie and the book, are constants. It is a film that, as with many, is soaked in nostalgia, but even without the nostalgia goggles, at the VERY, very least, it is a technological wonder that can only probably be topped by having real dinosaurs.
I went to watch it in IMAX 3D because you simply don't just put the standards low with Jurassic park, and yes I teared up win the first scene where you see the dinosaurs. I'm 18 and that shit was awesome.
It's easily one of the greatest films ever made I was 9 years old when it came out and completely build my love if movies that's how influential it is to me. It's a big reason why I'm going to try to get into film school next year.
Watched it 2 days ago and was surprised to see how GREAT the cgi still looks and the practical effects are as great as ever. Real great special FX, real love and care went into this movie, still one of THE all time greats and must sees.
This film blew my mind and raised the bar for movies to the point where i don't think i enjoyed seeing a movie after for years! Next time i felt that was was Avatar! Truly an epic unforgettable moment in cinema history.
Great review. Most amazing movie ever made. Saw it when I was 5 and it scared the crap out of me. Thus spawning my love for films. Saw this re-release in imax 3-D. Most amazing thing ever. I agee with your statement about raising the bar. Everyone I know is like you always use Jurassic Park as your reference. I'm like yea cause its awesome and not crap like some CG today. I also really enjoy your stuff man. Great job.
"IT'S AN INTERACTIVE CD-ROM!!!" - yeah, that line and the computers used are the only thing that really date this movie in my mind, but that's okay, cos one of the greatest strengths of this movie is the whole nostalgia aspect of it. You, my good sir, nailed it with this review!
It's up there in my top 5 favorite movies. I could watch this one again and again and again. Jurassic park captured my 5 year old mind when I was a child and even today I become so absorbed in the awe inspiring world that's so craftily developed in this film. I love this movie, I loved it as a child and I love it today, seeing it in the big screen for the first time is a dream come true for me, and the 3D is spectacular. I'm sold, I'll be returning to theaters again very soon.
This video accurately articulates everything that I felt when I first watched Jurassic Park when I was a kid and those feelings didn't go away when I saw it in 3D. I am amazed that modern movies sometimes fail to live up to the technical standards set by this 20 year old movie.
I love to see Jeremy's enthusiasm in this review! Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of all time!!! I still get chills when I hear the theme song :)
Even though I was like 8 when I saw this movie.....I cried with excitement all the way through the movie and still do its just just that Freaking Awesome....
Oh and on a more positive note, Jeremy Jahns.....you are AWESOME! What a video to put a fellow hard core Jurassic Park fan in a good mood for the weekend! Seriously, I had a shitty week but you pretty much gotten me feeling on top again. XD Thank you!
This was the first movie I saw in theaters as a kid and it has remained one of my most favorite movies ever! Now whenever I see those huge soup ladle things I think of the kitchen scene XD Awesome movie!:)
Juatassic Park is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. The 3D just made it that much cooler than what it already was. It was also made extra special when I saw it in 3D right after I went to Universal Studios to ride the ride. :)
Growing up with the movie I didn't quite understand how ahead of its time it really was but I loved it anyway (little boys tend to like dinosaurs). 20 years later, I understand the importance of the film and revel at how crazy good the special effects were whether they were created via animatronics or CGI. Utterly impressive. Oh, and the soundtrack? Extremely recognizable and will live in my imagination forever. It is at the top of my list for nostalgic movie watching.
Just saw JP for the first time. It was AWESOME! I agree with what you said about the 3-D. The screams of the dinosaurs were totally gnarly! Those dino screams did it for me.
Plus Michael Crichton was the screen writer too for the movie so he made sure it followed the book in some way. Almost like he understood that sometimes you gotta make changes for the movie from the book to work.
For many reasons, Jurassic Park is one of the greatest movies ever made.
I wish critics thought like that.
Vincent Nguyen well...they do and did
@@vincentnguyen1995 critics dont know shit.
Easily one of the best films ever made.
***** THE best movie ever made.
+tSp289 i would not say the best, because to me, the dark knight, silence of the lambs, star wars, jaws, inception, the godfather are all on par with jurassic park. but jurassic park is the most entertaining movie i have ever watch. it touched almost every movie genre. it has adventure, horror, sci-fi, love story, action, etc.
izzad ibrahim It wasn't me who said the best. I said "Easily *one of* the best films ever made."
tSp289 my favorite movie
1? Is there other movies?
He should have said Jurassic Park is Dinotacular
And then had the T-Rex roar in lieu of applause.
Floyd Palmer with the Jurassic park theme playing
Honestly no matter how good any movie is I see now is, Jurassic Park will always and forever be my favorite movie of all time.
You and me both.
Is there a level beyond awesometacular? If there is, Jurassic Park deserves that and more.
Jurassic Park and The Lost World Jurassic Park were childhood favorite movies of mine. I remember watching them a whole lot when I was younger. These movies hold a special place in my heart alongside Terminator 2 Judgement Day.
I too love Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park when I was younger too. And honestly, I have sorta of a soft spot for Jurassic Park III. It's a guilty pleasure for me.
Third one is pretty good now, compared to the new ones anyway
You were not a kid if you didn't pretend to be a T-rex and roar with the T-rex came out of his perimeter!
YES. xD
Yup.
Ya
Hell yeah mate. I still mentally do it now as a young adult, whenever I emerge victorious out of a test, or a date, or sport game. Doesn't that it rarely happens, doesnt matter what it is I win, when I walk out of the room and pretending in my head that I'm all Dino-Jesus roaring, I feel like a badass.... Yeah this movie wont go anyway soon. By the way, the Veloceraptors in the film are actually the Deinonychus, real Veloceraptors were just turkey-sized.
Yeah, I knew about the whole deinonychus thing. As I was a huge dinosaur enthusiast when ever I was eleven.
I worked in an industrial kitchen once and I was always scared when I had to close up at night by myself coz I kept thinking of Jurassic park

If every movie took a piece of Jurassic park with it, we would have better movies
Jurassic Park - Worth Buying on Blu-Ray
Jurassic Park The Lost World - Good Time No Alcohol Required

Jurassic World - Barely worth buying on Blu-Ray, but still worth it.
Cyberlord i think jurassic world is awesometacular i had fun with it a lots of fun
Jurassic park made the t-rex the most bad ass dinosaur ever... then they mad the t-rex look like a bitch in the Jurassic park 3.
xDD true that
They should have made the fight more intense and awesome. The T-Rex was the main dinosaur from the last two Jurassic Park films and it died in about a minute. That always pissed me off. T-Rex can lose but make it awesome.
One of the first movies i've ever watched. Still one of the best
I love that movie. I was born in 93.
Jurassic park is the greatest movie ever of all time for me. Love it grew up with it saw it in 3D going to see jurassic world when it comes out. Love the franchise!
"And a lawyer to get eaten out off a toilet which is the best use of a lawyer in the history of mankind" 😂😂😂😂😂dude

I agree the third film not as great but in my opinion in Jurassic park 3 the raptors are more badass then in the others
this is funny
Im kinda glad they stopped at jurassic park 3
when the t rex got its neck snapped i almost died along with it lol
JP is my all time favourite movie. it was awesome. the dinosaurs, the characters, the setting, the special effects, the allegory. everything. and whats even better is that it is just as aesome as it was back in the 90's.
Can't wait for Jurassic World, the franchise really needs a good movie after JP3
I agree. Jurassic Park is one of my favorites too. I hope Jurassic World is spectacular. Also, I actually like Jurassic park 3
i liked it too (as a kid), but a majority did not and it was 13 years ago. that is a long time to wait for a sequel that now has a lot of hype
True. But, that Spinosaur was BADASS!
One of my favorite movies
JP is def in my top 5 movies. pretty much for all the reasons you said. to this day i still use the phrases "hold onto your buts" , "must go faster" , and "clever girl".

Or hopefully awesometacular.
*crosses fingers*
I'm afraid it's good time if your drunk :(, yet I still hope it will be better in my opinion
Most of my other sources are saying it's good, so I'm willing to bet Jeremy might be wrong just this once.
bboythekidstudios like with chappie
It probably wouldn't even breach the top 100 greatest movies of all time, but it is my personal favourite movie of all time...

What makes a great movie to me, is not only the movie itself, but how it was made. The effects, the models, everything spielberg and his team did was awesometacular. By those standard, its in the top 5 for me. Similar to jackson and return of the king, lucas/Kirschner with empire strikes back, cameron with T2, etc.
So, like, I haven't met a man in this world that loves Jurassic Park, and is as passionate about Jurassic Park as I am. Do, you, wanna ah....you wanna maybe get a drink later? Talk some dinosaurs?
I'm your man
Jurassic Park is so awesome that whenever I think about it, I get a gigantic grin. And the Themed area in universal studio's Island of Adventure, I never wanted to leave the jurassic park area it was sooooo well done.
Watched this back In the day, was the loudest film in Showcase cinema, dinosaurs stomping around, floor was rumbling, I told my friends i needed a pair of huggies, they all agreed. One of the best films of all time.
Top 5 Spielberg Films:
1. Schindler's List
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Jurassic Park
4. Raiders Of The Lost Ark
5. The Last Crusade
You should review the original three before Jurassic World comes out
Jurassic Park was my childhood, cause I didn't like Barbie and dolls when I was a I young 3 year old girl, no, I WANTED A FUCKING DINOSAUR! I WATCH JURASSIC PARK EVERY WEEK FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE.
Clever girl.
Ur a cool girl
ur the coolest gal ive seen on yt
Yuvi Singh Thank You, ^^
I always put on jurassic park when im bored or I just want it on in the background because that is my movie, I saw that in 3D in the theater and saw on a blow up screen at the park, love this movie
I was only 1 year old when Jurrasic Park came out( I saw it in theathers but yeah, I didn't remember it) so when I heard it was coming back to theaters, I was stoked. I LOVED it! The scene where the T-Rex attacks the jeep with Tim and Lexi inside was one of the best movie moments ive ever seen on the big screen.....I honestly cant think of another movie scene that compares to it.
One of the greatest movies ever made. One of the biggest parts of my childhood. I really need to watch this again.
Jurassic Park along with jaws are speilbergs greatest works in my opinion.
Jurassic World Trailer in December! WHOOOOO!!!!! YEAH!
Just 3 days away actually :)
yeah i have :D cant wait for the full trailer
***** I have, AND IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!
It..... was awesome!
I'm terrified for the new film. like what if it's a massive let down then my childhood would die (but that kinda happened after watching the second and third one)
Saw this at our IMAX, when the T-Rex let loose it shook the entire theater, it was insane
Jurassic Park was and always will be one of my most favorite movies of my childhood. Where it ranks all time for me is tough cause its a very fluid list but for its time. FANTASTIC.
I first saw this movie in theaters when I was 6 years old and was blown away. I took my 6 year old nephew to see it in IMAX 3D and all of those memories came flooding back. This film is an awesome experience.
Jurassic Park to me is a perfect movie. Like everything is perfect. The characters, the story, the music, the dialogue. It's just brilliant. I fucking love Jurassic Park. It's my all time favorite movie.
Jurassic Park: 10/10 - Totally Awesome!
The Lost World: 8/10 - Very Good - Might have been better with Alan?
Jurassic Park 3: 7/10 - Still good, "Is this how you make dinosaurs?" "No, this is how you play God."
Jurassic Park: 10/10
The Lost World: 6/10
Jurassic Park 3: 3/10
drby0788 Jp 3 isn't that bad...
Yes it is
drby0788 No, thats a transformer rating.
drby0788 Problem with using points for rating (and one of the reasons it's stupid) is giving 3/10 to JP 3 means it's as bad as or only 1 or 2 points higher than Birdemic and Room.
Jurassic Park in my opinion is the best movie made. This makes up my childhood and is my favorite movie of all time no matter what movie comes out. Nothing can compare to this beauty and I applaud and bow down to Spielberg for making it so great for all ages!!!
What you said about the special effects and music are spot on! The CGI holds up amazingly, but even better are Stan Winston's animatronics. The scene with the T-rex bashing down the car was, and still is, unbelievably realistic.
As for the musical score.. John William's best, I'd say!
Not ashamed to say when I saw JP when it was first released, I teared up when the brachiosaur made its appearance. It is also to date the only movie I have seen theatrically on three different continents.
Jurassic Park is my favourite movie.
Jeremy you should do a Jurassic World video.
he probably will when the first trailer comes out
I'm sure he will when more info or a trailer is released for it. Right now all we really know are a couple of the actors and that its set 20 years after the first JP. Not much to do a video about yet.
SkeptikinHiDef Yeah your right :)
happy now lol
yes very :)
if you have not ever seen jurrasic park by now, where have you been for the past 20 years omg this movie was amazing as fuck i was born in 93 when the movie came out but i saw it a few years later and i loved the other 2 ehhh not so great kinda hoping the new other is good :3
Oh my God now I feel bad for not having watched it yet
It is one of the greatest films ever made for many many many many reasons. I love that movie, it is my childhood. And when I listen to the theme just as you said, you are transported to that film. I re watch that movie every so often to remind myself of what movies could be and how many films today unfortunately aren't. Where did that kind of magic go?!
Jurassic Park was the 2nd movie I ever saw in the theaters (first being Lion King). This movie defined my childhood and I still love it to this day.
Here's how I rate the Jurassic Park series:
Jurassic Park: AMAZING!!!!
The Lost World: Really good
Jurassic Park III: Not as good as the first
Can't wait for Jurassic World in the summer
Ugh the second and third were mediocre at best..
Jurassic Park is my 7th favorite movie of all time
and Jurassic World is my favorite movie of 2015.
Say what now??
I know, shocking isn't it.
+Harri927 How can Jurassic Park be your 7th favorite it's such a great movie
I know, It's sitting on the luckiest number 7.
***** Lucky 7 I get that but that's still too low on the list, it's number 1 on mine
This movie is awesometacular and it definitely by far one of Steven Spielberg's best movies and one of the best movies ever. Along with one of the best sci-fi films ever
as a kid that "velociraptors in the kitchen" scene scared the shit outta me, even nowadays watching it makes my heart race
I still get goosebumps at the brachiosaurus reveal at the beginning of the movie...
it's one of the greatest movies EVER MADE!!!!!!! XD XD
GREAT REVIEW RESPECT!!
Jurassic park is one of the best movies eeeeevvvvvvveeeeerrrrr!!!!!!!!
As a kid, I never got over the kitchen scene and I might pay to see that again in 3D. This film is gold.
Jurassic Park is one of my all time favorite movies. The script, acting, plot, and score are all excellent.
Now just remember , be as loud as you can , flashing the light in a dinosaurs eye really helps if you wanna live , also making sudden movements helps a lot and don't forget to always leave your guns behind and be as stubborn and stupid possible !
And if people need ur help, beat the shit out of a chair!
Danny Breslin Hahah what?
There is a scene in the movie where the group is being attacked by raptors and instead of handing Dr.Satler the gun Tim just stands there hitting a chair over and over again for no reason at all.
Haha yea I had a feeling that's what you were talking about, your wording was just hilarious
Thanks man.
I "F"ing LOVE this movie! It's my number 3 all-time favorite movie!
Cj Kalandek what's the first two
Alex ghz 2 is all three of the Lord of the Rings movies and 1 is all three of the original Star Wars trilogy. Reasons for that is because I don't see those 2 trilogies as 3 movies; I see them both as a single story told in 3 parts. If that makes any sense.
I love it, too. Gotta love it.
Jurassic Park: Awesometacular
Lost World: Awesometacular (even though the first is better)
JP3: Dogshit
Jurassic World: Probably good time no alcohol required.
First movie I remember seeing in theaters as a 5 year old. First action-figure set I've fully collected. I can't imagine my life without having seen Jurassic Park.
I love Jurassic Park! I squealed like a fangirl when I went to Hawaii and saw where they filmed the Gallimimus scene. Then at the airport in Sydney (I'm from Australia) as we were waiting for a taxi, Sam Neil (Alan Grant) was there :D. He said 'Hi' to us and gave us his taxi coz he was in front. Nice guy :D

I was a crybaby as a kid so my parents had to take me out of the theater after the first scene. I went back and watched it five years later and absolutely adored it.
You are so adorable. I loved Jurassic Park and now I know I need to see it in 3D.I was going to anyway, but your review made me want to see the movie even more. Don't stop reviewing!
Whenever I mention the soundtrack, all I need say is "John Williams" because, what else is there to say? He created some the most brilliant and iconic film scores ever! I remember when I saw "Lincoln", I was struck by the music, roll credits and oh look! John Williams.
My opinions on "best" change a lot, so I never put orders on them, but Jurassic Park, the movie and the book, are constants. It is a film that, as with many, is soaked in nostalgia, but even without the nostalgia goggles, at the VERY, very least, it is a technological wonder that can only probably be topped by having real dinosaurs.
I saw Jurassic park so many times I can't count. Now I'm 18 it's still one of my favorites
I love your review. Jurassic Park, Terminator 2 and Back to the Future part 2. Top three for me
I went to watch it in IMAX 3D because you simply don't just put the standards low with Jurassic park, and yes I teared up win the first scene where you see the dinosaurs. I'm 18 and that shit was awesome.
It's a classic. It's one of those movies that will always be listed when the greatest movies of all time are being named off.
It's easily one of the greatest films ever made I was 9 years old when it came out and completely build my love if movies that's how influential it is to me. It's a big reason why I'm going to try to get into film school next year.
Watched it 2 days ago and was surprised to see how GREAT the cgi still looks and the practical effects are as great as ever. Real great special FX, real love and care went into this movie, still one of THE all time greats and must sees.
This film blew my mind and raised the bar for movies to the point where i don't think i enjoyed seeing a movie after for years! Next time i felt that was was Avatar! Truly an epic unforgettable moment in cinema history.
Great review. Most amazing movie ever made. Saw it when I was 5 and it scared the crap out of me. Thus spawning my love for films. Saw this re-release in imax 3-D. Most amazing thing ever. I agee with your statement about raising the bar. Everyone I know is like you always use Jurassic Park as your reference. I'm like yea cause its awesome and not crap like some CG today. I also really enjoy your stuff man. Great job.
Jurassic Park- gold standard for CGI
"IT'S AN INTERACTIVE CD-ROM!!!" - yeah, that line and the computers used are the only thing that really date this movie in my mind, but that's okay, cos one of the greatest strengths of this movie is the whole nostalgia aspect of it. You, my good sir, nailed it with this review!
It's up there in my top 5 favorite movies. I could watch this one again and again and again. Jurassic park captured my 5 year old mind when I was a child and even today I become so absorbed in the awe inspiring world that's so craftily developed in this film. I love this movie, I loved it as a child and I love it today, seeing it in the big screen for the first time is a dream come true for me, and the 3D is spectacular. I'm sold, I'll be returning to theaters again very soon.
This video accurately articulates everything that I felt when I first watched Jurassic Park when I was a kid and those feelings didn't go away when I saw it in 3D. I am amazed that modern movies sometimes fail to live up to the technical standards set by this 20 year old movie.
I love to see Jeremy's enthusiasm in this review! Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of all time!!! I still get chills when I hear the theme song :)
Even though I was like 8 when I saw this movie.....I cried with excitement all the way through the movie and still do its just just that Freaking Awesome....
Oh and on a more positive note, Jeremy Jahns.....you are AWESOME! What a video to put a fellow hard core Jurassic Park fan in a good mood for the weekend! Seriously, I had a shitty week but you pretty much gotten me feeling on top again. XD Thank you!
This was the first movie I saw in theaters as a kid and it has remained one of my most favorite movies ever! Now whenever I see those huge soup ladle things I think of the kitchen scene XD Awesome movie!:)
Yes, Jeremy. DEFINITELY, one of the GREATEST MOVIES EVER MADE. The ultimate theatrical experience. You just simply cannot beat it.
Juatassic Park is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. The 3D just made it that much cooler than what it already was. It was also made extra special when I saw it in 3D right after I went to Universal Studios to ride the ride. :)
Growing up with the movie I didn't quite understand how ahead of its time it really was but I loved it anyway (little boys tend to like dinosaurs). 20 years later, I understand the importance of the film and revel at how crazy good the special effects were whether they were created via animatronics or CGI. Utterly impressive. Oh, and the soundtrack? Extremely recognizable and will live in my imagination forever. It is at the top of my list for nostalgic movie watching.
Just saw JP for the first time. It was AWESOME! I agree with what you said about the 3-D. The screams of the dinosaurs were totally gnarly! Those dino screams did it for me.
Happy 25 Anniversary Jurassic Park 1993-2018🎂!
OMG Jeremy we have the same minds!!! "It's One of the Greatest Movies EVER MADE for MANY REASONS!!! DITTO!!! :)
Plus Michael Crichton was the screen writer too for the movie so he made sure it followed the book in some way. Almost like he understood that sometimes you gotta make changes for the movie from the book to work.
20 years later and I still scream when that velociraptor broke through the glass xD
This was clearly one of your best reviews so far, and Jurassic Park is definately one of the best films made so far
I would love to see you review Independence Day. One of my favorite movies.
