Review: This movie has been out for a while but, even though it had decent reviews, I was a little hesitant to watch it. This is mostly because, while I loved Jurassic Park, I wasn't overly impressed with the sequels. And, as a result of that, I had some serious doubts about this 4th installment. My wife and I wound up finally watching the movie last night, however, and, after seeing it, I have to admit I was much more impr...
