Top 10 Best Dinosaur Movies

This is the movie that forever changed the way people looked at dinosaurs and the way dinosaurs were portrayed. Before JP, dinosaurs were mostly portrayed in two ways in mainstream media: either as cartoony-type characters or low-budget movie monsters. This movie destroyed those two stereotypes by offering a more serious, scientifically accurate (for the most part) and realistic portrayal of dinosaurs. In other words, they were portrayed as actual animals of nature trying to survive, driven by their pure instincts.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Characters are all memorable, some more than others (Ducky <. Sharptooth), and of course, such an amazing story.

P.S. How does Toy Story count as a dinosaur movie?

The Land Before Time is definitely one of the best dinosaur movies out there, but it can't compete with some others. I like it and all, but my vote has to go with Jurassic World.

The Land Before Time has 13 sequels and a TV show.

(And a 14th sequel coming out December 2015. It will be traditionally animated, so it won't be another disgraceful computer-animated movie.)

I think The Land Before Time deserves the praise and fans that it gets because who would not agree that The Land Before Time is awesome?

I don't understand the hate. I always thought this was a really awesome and well-written sequel. Sure, it's not better than the first classic, but it doesn't have to be. It is simply made to be a continuation of the first movie.

The characters are actually very funny, believable, relatable, and very human. It also does an excellent job at being an action-packed rollercoaster ride. Plus, there are a lot more dinosaurs to explore. It's one of those sequels that you have to have the right mindset to enjoy and appreciate.

This was the right kind of movie to be released for the 21st century. Not necessarily the best, but the right one. It showed how far humanity has come from when dinosaurs existed and the struggles we endured to get this far. Sort of like how these dinosaurs, even at the end of everything, struggled to find some world where they wouldn't die right away.

Who in the world put that dumb Land Before Time better than this? Dinosaur is awesome. It looks amazing for an animated movie. I also love that they put a Carnotaurus as the bad guy instead of a T. Rex. I love the Carnotaurus! And Land Before Time is the dumbest movie ever.

Yeah, Jurassic Park may have been a whole new frontier, and Jurassic Park II: The Lost World may have had some awesome moments. Even Jurassic Park III had some cool stuff. However, Jurassic World (in my opinion) is the best.

I think so because it has action scenes that are more fast-paced (such as the scene where the Indominus Rex escapes), and the characters finally think of using guns against the dinosaurs. I'm not saying that the other Jurassics aren't good though. Yes, even you, JP3, Spinosaurus and all.

I don't care how many people say that this film sucks. This movie was good for being the fifth film in a movie franchise. I think finding Blue and Rexy, and as many dinosaurs as possible, was a cool mission. The Indoraptor was also pretty good and terrifying.

I give this movie a solid 8/10. The reason it's not 10/10 is because the animations for the dinos were a little overdone and also because they tweaked the T. Rex roar a bit.

Why do people hate this terrific movie? They say the plot was weak. How come? This movie was as awesome as the predecessor. Why hate it?

I don't get why everyone hates Jurassic Park III so much. I was actually happy when the T. Rex got eaten. Before you start hating on me, it's because the Tyrannosaurs get so much love. I was happy to see another dino get the spotlight.

Jurassic Park III is definitely better than Jurassic Park II: The Lost World, but compared to Jurassic World and the original Jurassic Park, it can't compete. Now please, give Jurassic Park III some love and stop hating on it!

The third movie of the Jurassic Park series, this time without Steven Spielberg, with a new dinosaur star, the Spinosaurus.

What's not to like about this film? When I saw it at the cinema, in the final scene, the audience was audibly shocked and saddened. Guess they never saw the 1933 original!

King Kong could beat any T. Rex. In the movie, he ripped the T. Rex's mouth open while holding the girl. Don't know if he could beat Godzilla, though.

To me, this is the second-best dinosaur movie. Jurassic Park is first, of course.

Ice Age movies are so amazing! Dawn of the Dinosaurs is my personal favorite! The characters are fantastic, the dinosaurs are amazing, and the story is adventurous and has a happy ending! I personally think it should be number one!

People who say this movie is bad have no feelings or simply have no life. They are just Jurassic Park fans who want to look for action but not a good story. If you're an honest person, I bet at least tears will come to your eyes when you watch the whole movie.

Pixar makes amazing movies. I doubt that this movie will be bad.

I love this movie! Thunderclap is my favorite!

What the what! This should be at least 10th.

I hope there'll be a remake of this film. I love this film, especially when Gwangi battles the Styracosaurus and the elephant.

Excellent movie. Impressive effects for the time. The acting was good.

Land of the Lost is awesome. Jurassic Park is much better, but Land of the Lost should be higher than The Valley of Gwangi or The Land That Time Forgot.

Ray Harryhausen did a wonderful job on the dinosaurs. Plus, he is a genius!
