It’s not so much that it’s dumb, all the Jurassic Park movies are dumb on some level, but it really emphasizes how certain filmmakers are made for this kinda movie and others are not. Scenes of raptors chasing motorcycles, Dino pit fights, swarms of fiery locusts, airplanes vs flying prehistoric beasts should all be exciting, or at least cool, on some level, but are all just one more thing to slog through here. All we do get is a mildly amusing performance from Campbell Scott, and two plus hours of being as bored with dinosaurs as the filmmakers are. Oh, and some real big locusts.
