Watching this one again made me really want to read the book again. I remember barely anything from it except that it’s really different and probably much better. Still, overhead shot of raptors running through the long grass? There’s cool stuff like that.
Also, since I last watched these movies I’ve become aware of some new dinosaur species that hadn’t been discovered back when I was a kid and learning about them. I feel really robbed by that. Some of them are so amazing that I really need to go and buy a modern children’s book from which to learn about them all. And, by god, Jurassic Park 4, if and when it comes around, had better utilise them better than they used Spinosaurus.
