| Sam Neill in JURASSIC PARK III Year: 2001 Rating: ***1/2 |
Everyone remembers that Jeff Goldblum was the scene-stealing comic relief (who could also be pretty serious) in Steven Spielberg's blockbuster comeback JURASSIC PARK...

However, there's mostly just far-too-intelligent raptors this time around... yet the best scenes involve the T-Rex stomping set-up when a group of low-rent mercenaries are the picked-off/body-count red-shirts (80's/90's cult actors John Diehl, Bruce A. Young and Michael Jeter)...
Leading to 11th hour pterodactyls in what's a deliberately innocuous sequel's sequel that's never boring, providing the late Sam Neill (who could portray an evil antichrist as genuine as a trustworthy hero) another thankless leading role combining intrepid adventure with vulnerable desperation.
