Boston Globe
Throughout the history of film, nothing turns campier faster than dinosaur movies. This one will have a much longer shelf life than most. - 83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Too bad they didn't skip the gags and one-liners, along with the songs, and go the distance in making this an authentic dinosaur world. - 83
Entertainment Weekly
Doesn't offer anything to adult viewers as thrilling, as shivery, as satisfyingly primal as Steven Spielberg's intricate predator choreography in the original ''Jurassic Park.'' - 78
Austin Chronicle
It's a visually stunning film. For every kid everywhere, and for every adult still a kid at heart, the dinosaurs are the thing, and here, finally, Disney does justice to our dreams. - 70
The New York Times
As luxuriant and intoxicating as a theme park ride; more remarkably, it feels like a real movie. - 50
Film.com
A truly stunning technical experiment. - 50
USA Today
Fossilized script spoils effects. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
An old-fashioned dinosaur opera, in the worst sense of the term. An obviously formulaic effort, designed more as a cash machine than a piece of cinema.
