The worst thing about Jurassic Park is the same thing that bothers me about all other CGI movies - the way characters (or in this case dinosaurs) move at super speed. If Spiderman were to swing from the top of a building at one end of a block, moving in an arc that takes him downwards toward the street and then up to the top of a building at the other end of the block it would take I don't know, ten? fifteen? seconds to cover that distance at least. But he covers it almost instantly. The ratio of time to distance covered is too small and it really bugs the hell out of me every time I see it.
Oh, don't get me started. The two scenes from the book I was most looking forward to in the movie were not included. Excellent book. If you have not read it, do youself a favor and pick it up.
Well, given dinosaurs appeared and disappeared during the Triassic period, I'd say the name is a pretty good starting point of what's wrong with the movie.
