1. Jeff Goldblum
"That is one big pile of sh*t. The charmingly sardonic Dr. Ian Malcolm is the best human character in the movie. Hes the only one who really stands out. I love Sam Neils Alan Grant and Richard Attenboroughs John Hammond, but its more because of the actors. Their characters are not well defined, and more serviceable as audience stand-ins or necessities to move the plot forward. Dr. Malcolm does some of this plot-shifting too, with all his chaos theory foreshadowing, but hes simply far more interesting and entertaining to watch along the way. You gotta love Jeff Goldblums off-kilter line delivery, inserting the unnecessary ahs every five words and gesticulating semi-flamboyantly, all while cracking a smile and throwing in a wisecrack. Now you do plan on having dinosaurs on the dinosaur tour right? He even manages to keep his sense of humor with a gnawed-on leg and a T-Rex rampaging after him (Must go faster.) Aside from being generally interesting and hilarious, his characters true service is a logic factor to ground the movie. The film may astound, but its saturation of dinosaurs and insistence on awing you runs the risk of putting itself too high in the clouds. Goldblum brings it back down to earth. Plus hes right about everything and his jokes are really funny (Okay I admit it, when I was younger I wanted to be Jeff Goldblum. Dont lie, you know you did too). Its a shame that he breaks his leg halfway through the movie and does pretty much nothing after that. But hey, at least he gets the spotlight in the sequel!!.. (But seriously, give The Lost World a chance. Its not exactly good, but its not as bad as people say). Bottom line, see Jurassic Park 3D. See it twice if you want to (youll want to). Its well worth the money, and if nothing else, it proves that after 20 years people still like dinosaurs. And Jeff Goldblum. On another note, if both Jeff Goldblum and Sam Neill come back for Jurassic Park IV Ill be a seriously happy camper. Lets hope that, as Dr. Malcolm once so eloquently put it, life finds a way.
