Very cool entry into the movies that spoofed James Bond, this one is so incredibly '60's' that is also functions as a decent time capsule. Lanky James Coburn is our irrepressible hero, Derek Flint, a scientific ultra erudite millionaire man about-town who comes to save the entire planet from nerdy madmen. Along the way we get to ogle almost two dozen scantily clad babes, so what more could you ask for ? This is a very charming film to casually enjoy on a lazy afternoon, but it is not serious like the Bond issues- this puts James Bond into a more proper perspective. Don't forget to dig the neat-o multi purpose cigarette lighter gadget thingy ! Seven stars.

Pure spectacle- no depth. This movie is famous due to it' s then ground breaking CGI dinosaurs. The plot is thin , there is no character development arc, no moodiness, no real atmosphere, not one single plot twist. Typical Spielberg. Despite this criticism, Jurassic Park is good entertainment for the entire family. Basically this is your typical monster-on-the loose flick, cloned dinosaurs chase a variety of humans, most of whom are sympathetic, while some of the victims are decidedly rotten. The CGI and the puppet animatronics really is the meat of this movie, no pun intended. This was the bleeding edge in film special effects in 1993 and holds up very well today. But overall the film is predictable, could have been better.
