Unlike the MPAA we do not assign
one
inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE
and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest,
depending on quantity and context.
The dinosaurs are back when Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum)
discovers Mr. Hammond (Richard Attenborough) had another island filled with bioengineered
Jurassic period fauna.
SEX/NUDITY 0 - None.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - A few scenes where people are eaten by a dinosaur -- in
one we see a man's bloody leg. A group of dinosaurs stalk and attack a group of people
resulting in falls; the dinosaurs jump on people and fight each other. One dinosaur is
impaled with some blood. A girl is attacked by birdlike dinosaurs and later a man is
attacked by the same type and has his lip nearly bitten off (some blood). A stream and a
waterfall are filled with blood after two dinosaur attacks. Two dinosaurs attack a trailer
and rock the people inside it. They nearly pitch it off a cliff as the people dangle, fall
and try to hold on. A dog is eaten by a dinosaur, off screen. A man shocks a couple of
birdlike dinosaurs. A dinosaur lifts two men off the ground without injury and one head
butts a man and a truck. A woman has a few bloody cuts on her forehead, blood on her
jacket and leaves blood on a plant. A few scenes of rioting, reckless driving and car
crashes. A boat also crashes into a dock. A few explosions.

PROFANITY 3 - Some mild obscenities and a scatological reference. [profanity glossary]
A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we
started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were
not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many
older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please
keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period.
While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are
limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
