Critics' Reviews

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
Not as awe-inspiring as the first film or as elaborate as the second, but in its own B-movie way, it's a nice little thrill machine.Read Full Review »

Salon.com: Stephanie Zacharek
Fast and funny and brings back some of the wonder to the series.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Jay Carr
What makes it worth sitting through is the chance it offers to catch up on the technical advances since the last installment.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: A.O. Scott

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
Has to be the sorriest excuse for a reprise since "Highlander — The Final Dimension."Read Full Review »

USA Today: Mike Clark
Even the special effects alone aren't worth the price of admission.Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
Stinks worse than dino dung. Sure, the creatures look good.Read Full Review »
