Jurassic Park(Spielberg)

Jurassic Park is a movie I hold close to my heart, I saw it in the cinema at the age of eight when it first came out and I was in absolute awe of it, till then I had seen absolutely nothing like it. Some movies I loved as a child I simply don't enjoy anymore(one example is Tim Burton's Batman) but there are some movies that I can still enjoy to this day,Jurassic Park is one of them. I caught it on TV around last year after not having seen it for years and realised why I loved it so much when it first came out.
Spielberg is an expert at tension, the scene where Tim and Lex are sitting in the car and the cup on front of the car starts to vibrate is an excellent scene. The final scene where they are in the helicopter on their way back and they see a bird flying through the sky is a excellent scene and is a reminder of how Dinosaurs have evolved since the Jurassic era. My love for Jurassic Park inspired me to read Chricton's novel and it's no wonder that the movie is so good when they have such excellent material to work from. It's a shame really that none of the sequels could match upto the original, I don't care for The Lost World but it has it's fan and No 3 I feel is quite underrated and whilst it is no classic is still a fun adventure yarn and it doesn't pretend to be anything else.
