Great movie! It's educational, scary, and satisfying! I love it. You can't expect to see a dinosaur in the woods, and is still frightning. I love... s movie and is the better than it's sequels! Full Review

One great monster movie. [11 June 1993, Daily Notebook, p.C1]Full Review

As a flight of fantasy, Jurassic Park lacks the emotional unity of Spielberg's classics ("Jaws," "Close Encounters," "E.T."), yet it has enough of his innocent, playful virtuosity to send you out of the theater grinning with delight.Full Review

Entertainment Weekly

Spielberg's must-see is so wondrous at depicting things that go crunch in the night that its human characterizations and pokey exposition seem astonishingly halfhearted… On a "people" level, Park isn't “Jaws,” but on a jolt level - oh, yes, it is. [11 June 1993, Life, p.1D]Full Review

Colossal entertainment -- the eye-popping, mind-bending, kick-out-the-jams thrill ride of summer and probably the year.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

The movie delivers all too well on its promise to show us dinosaurs. We see them early and often, and they are indeed a triumph of special effects artistry, but the movie is lacking other qualities that it needs even more, such as a sense of awe and wonderment, and strong human story values.Full Review
