    Knowing there would be a third movie and he would not direct, Spielberg 'selfishly' (his word) put a dinos-on-the-mainland sequence into TLW.

    I think JP3 was a much better movie than TLW. These people putting down the movie should get the hell off this page. I hope they noticed It is a JP3 page, not a TLw page.

    Has anyone noticed that Macy looks alot like The Grinch in the photo clipped to this article?

    If they woulda hired him for the part, think of all the time and money they'd save on unnecessary make-up! :)

    Sure he meant another movie,SURE HE DID.

    If you all naysayers don't like JP3,then why the hell are you wasting your time here?

    Also,after seeing the movie about 5 times,I have decided that I think the T-Rex really could have kicked the Spino's ass.Once he bit that Spino,it should have been over.

    You probably knew that but I just thought I'd mention it. Also I agree that TLW was better than JP3. I would have liked JP3 better if they had the ENTIRE SCRIPT done before they started filming it.

    There was a cut scene that mentioned the deaths on Isla Nublar, Including Muldoon.

    Sinc when has Planet Hollywood become a dictatorship. Anybody can complain about the movie they're doing if they don't feel it's up to suff. As long as they don't tell people not to go see it.
    And Joe Johnston said he has every right to complain. Granted, Macy's comments were a bit harsh, and his main idea could have been portrayed better (Someone should be shot, oh please.)
    JP/// was great,a nd as promsied, more independand tof the first 2 (not a good thing). It did follow up on how the world handles live dinos (we wanna see em.) It lacked the awe pieces. They got atatcked every 3 steps. As soona s oen dino stopped chasing them, another fileld in. No real rest, except when Eric rescued Grant,a nd the adults in the compound. They needed the dino vs dino action promised us, and thats ecodn T-rex/Spino fight, with Rex the natural victor. and of course, the military needed to br atatcked. Especially if the Spino atatcked, and that lad to the rematch. Seriosuly, what was the point of all thsoe emn? Bullhorn Man coulda just loaded them up. We also needed an explanation of Billy's rescue. he's jsut there. Did he stumble on them, and realsiitically, there shoulda been a scouting party looking for Grant. You cna tell there was more planned. No way those guys run out, then run abck in when no dino is seen. Yeah right. But with some 85 minutes of greatness, why complain much? Though I'd still like to know what happened tot he survivors over the years. At least TLW Book gave us that, except for Muldoon.

    I just have to say that although JP3 was not necessarily a bad movie (I saw it twice), it lacked a certain "something." It was obvious that there was no script when shooting, and always seemed to me an unfinished project. It just rushed through all of the action scenes (thus taking out the suspense of the first movie). The ending was wayyyy too abrupt and there was no time in the movie that it seemed like the group was in danger after the deaths of the 3 mercenaries. It was structured too much like a video game, where there was little to connect the set pieces (but I'm a big video game fan, so that isn't that much of an insult). I thought there should have been a more substantial ending to such a "thrill ride" type movie. I think that with an added 20-30 minutes, this movie would have been a heck of a lot better. It just seemed rushed. And I think Macy had a right to say what he said, as there were obviously problems filming and a script was basically written up on location..Ok, I think I'm done ranting....

    There's only one thing I would have chnged in JP///. I would've had the t-rex vs. spino battle at the very end of the movie, and the t-rex would have won.
    But I don't agree with what Macy said about the movie. Overall, it was good.
    The ending was just anti-climatic.

    Well, Do you think what Johnson did was any better? By The way, Spielberg has several ideals in mind for Jurassic Park 3. One of them Was to Have Sam Neil Character of Alan Grant Becoming a hermit because he was fed up with the world, and sneaking in The dino land.

    No matter what direction Spielberg would have taken this film( even though the ideas do sound a bit hokey), it still had a structure. He would have not made the mistake Johnson made with the script.

    There is no reason what so ever for this film to be the way it was.


    At 7:40:55 PM on 7/31/2001, Dan said:
    jpreal, there was very, very little wrong with JP3, in my option. As for Spielberg's idea, he wanted JP3 to be about a bunch of teenagers stuck on the island. That would have been fantastic (sarcasm)

    Macy should have not apologize for his comments. He was right on the money with his views. If this was Spielberg idea, then he should take some of the blame as well for what has happen to this film. It should have been better, and it was not.


    At 4:51:09 PM on 7/31/2001, Mattman said:
    Thank you, Dinosniper. I agree totally.


    At 3:39:55 PM on 7/31/2001, dinosniper said:
    Hey here's an idea...everyone who thinks JP3 sucks, get off this page!!! Cuz this website is a website for JP3 fans, and if you wanna go criticize the movie, this message board is not the place! If you have negative comments, take them elsewhere

    the raptor-scenes were not like the ones from JP,they just didn't feel right..


    At 3:12:07 PM on 7/31/2001, sickofsociety said:
    I loved TLW,especially the action scenes.At least it had a little character development,the only negative thing about it was that the raptor-scenes sucked,and that Kelly was quite annoying


    At 2:58:57 PM on 7/31/2001, rex power said:
    Well in my opinion I think that it was rigth that he apologize to Spielberg because don't forget that this film was hes idea


    At 1:57:06 PM on 7/31/2001, angel_89 said:
    I loved JP3 alot better then TLW he was right to apologize. He shouldn't bad mouth the film he's acting in.


    At 12:46:42 PM on 7/31/2001, jpreal said:
    No, he should not. When Macy was hired for the job, he was promised a full script in front of him before the movie storted filming. It's was the director who put the script a side and decited to shoot on the fly.

    In My opinion, Macy was right to say what he did. The movie was almost everything he said it was.


    At 12:28:16 PM on 7/31/2001, Dan said:
    It has nothing to do with honesty. Acting is a JOB. If Macy didn't like what he was being put through, he should have quit before he felt compelled to complain about his job. I agree he should have apologized to more than Spielberg: to Johnston and the rest of the actors on the film.

    I also think that The Lost World was a Much better film than Jurassic Park 3. At least it was a true sequel to Jurassic Park, and respected the original film. Jurassic Park 3 Just was not up to snuff with the whole series. Yes, The lost World is not a great as the first but it still was a good film none the less. Jurassic Park 3 was in a better turn, a let down. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not as good as the first two.

    I don't Jp3 sucked. Tlw sucked because of all the attacks being at night. But Macy has all the right to talk crap about a movie.

    Actaully I liked The Lost World better than JP3,but TLW isnt as good as the first(but still good), JP3 I honestly wish it was never made!!


    At 9:53:40 AM on 7/31/2001, Felipe said:
    BrianW14 and Macy are right JP3 did SUCK! It was better than TLW but not even close to what it could have been. We need to shoot these incompetent people *cough* spielberg and joe *cough*


    At 7:06:07 AM on 7/31/2001, Spino+T-Rex said:
    That's Macy ? He looks way weird !!!


    At 12:20:33 AM on 7/31/2001, Mattman said:
    And I'm tired of the JP3 backlash on these forums, coming from the same assholes who a month ago were screaming, "OH MY GOD, JP3 IS GOING TO KICK ASS, I CAN'T WAIT! OH MY GOD!". The movie kicked ass and if you don't think so, get the %$&# off of dansjp3page because you don't belong here. Huff huff huff. Ok, I've vented.


    At 12:18:33 AM on 7/31/2001, Mattman said:
    Good point, actors like Macy make enough money that they should bite the bullet when they feel like saying some negative. Not saying his comments weren't taken out of context though.


    At 11:04:12 PM on 7/30/2001, dinosniper said:
    I think during the crane scene, the other rex should have shown up, and the rex and the spino could snatch Macy off that boat and share him TLW style...that would have changed some opinions about the movie pretty damn quick


    At 9:42:17 PM on 7/30/2001, jpreal said:
    Honest actors do when they feel that they are not doing their best work. I for one respect Mr. Macy even more for having the guts then to say it as it is back then. Every thing he said in my opinion was right. There was not script for this movie, and it shows on screen, I said this before, and I’m going to say it again, I did liked the film. I just can’t take it as a follow up to the first two movies.

    Actors are not supposed to bad-mouth their own films.

    At 9:16:32 PM on 7/30/2001, jpreal said:
    I think Macy has nothing to be sorry for. He comments are almost right on target. I liked the film but let's face it, There is no reason for this film to be as it is. It should have been better, consitering the fact that it followed Two very good movies.

    Why Speilberg?, I think apologizing to Joe Johnston would be a more logical thing,
