10 Incredibly Bland Movies For Bland People
4. Jurassic Park III
Sequel #2 is really a big bucks SyFy movie: it’s barely 90 minutes long, there’s a ridiculous excuse for stranding some famous faces on dinosaur island, and the “plot” consists of watching them run around for the rest of the film.
How do they sucker Sam Neill into returning to the island? William H Macy and Tea Leoni tell him they want to spend their wedding anniversary looking at dinosaurs, so without waiting for the cheque to clear he boards a plane to Isla Nublar. To the surprise of nobody except those onscreen, they end up crash landing on Isla Sorna, the “other” dinosaur island, and you can probably guess the rest.
It’s apt that this franchise found a home at Universal because Jurassic Park III brings to mind the studio’s earlier monster movie sequels. As with House Of Dracula, The Mummy’s Ghost, Revenge Of The Creature et al, it’s not a patch on the original but a completest seeking cheap thrills won’t mind too much.
