Jurassic Park

"The earthshaking footfalls of these lizard-kings are palpable and terrifying. Spielberg's crew of dinosaur-effects artists has conjured up a Mesozoic menagerie whose realism outdoes anything in cinema history" 

"May be one-dimensional and even clunky in story and characterization, but definitely delivers where it counts, in excitement, suspense and the stupendous realization of giant reptiles" 

"Mr. Spielberg has great fun with every last growl and rumble signaling the approach of danger..." 

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

"The suspense and technical wizardry are the only reason to watch 'Jurassic Park'. In a summer movie, that's more than enough (..). But screenwriter Michael Crichton, adapting his popular novel (...) slashes almost everything that made the book an entertaining read"
