JURASSIC PARK III [2001]

Joe Johnston snags the director's seat for the 3rd instalment of the Jurassic Park series, the first not to be based on a Michael Crichton novel.  
What should have been a welcome return to the series, has Sam Neill reprising his role from the first film, only to feel pointless and empty.  The uninspired action is non-stop, saving absolutely no time for any sort of character development whatsoever or interesting story arcs.  Watching this crapfest makes you realize how much graceful thought and time Spielberg put into his filmmaking and action pieces.  
It's essentially like a bad made for TV movie with a Hollywood blockbuster budget.
