 Cinema.com: Jurassic Park 3 (2001) - Movie Review
The introduction of new elements to the Jurassic Park world and a noted lack of previous characters removes any possibility of unoriginality criticism (The only major character who has made it all the way from Jurassic Park (1993) is Sam Neill as Dr. Alan Grant).
This, the third part in the Jurassic Park trilogy, centres around two parents who are on a desperate search to find their son, who, due to a devastating paragliding accident gets trapped on Isla Sorna (Site B from Lost World: Jurassic Park, The (1997)).
As you would expect from any film carrying the Jurassic Park name, this film is filed with lots of fantastic and frightening dinosaurs, which have been created with incredible use of animatronics and computer generation.

 Sam Neill - Cranky Critic® StarTalk - Movie Star Interviews
I feel, in a sense, that I have and I'm happier with the character this time around." Neill's Dr. Alan Grant may have personally been shaken by his encounter with live dinosaurs in the first Jurassic Park, but he remains determined to study them.
Though Jurassic Park III has some terrifying moments, it is not without its sense of humor, and Neill relished bringing his own sardonic sense of humor to the material.
Neill clearly had confidence in the filmmakers in order to embark on what some actors might see as a perilous journey.

In addition to his many paleontological discoveries, Jack served as the technical advisor for all three of the Jurassic Park films, and even served as partial inspiration for the movie's lead character, Dr. Alan Grant.
John "Jack" R. Horner (born June 15, 1946) is an American paleontologist who discovered and named the Maiasaura, providing the first clear evidence that dinosaurs cared for their young.
It contained the first dinosaur eggs in the Western hemisphere, the first dinosaur embryos, and settled questions of whether some dinosaurs were sociable, built nests and cared for their young.

 spielbergfilms.com - Articles - Total Film "Spielberg Special" review
• Sam Neill never "rubbished" his role of Alan Grant in the first "Jurassic Park" film—he merely has stated that the character was more fleshed out in the third film (from his perspective as an actor) than in the first film.
Touted on Total Film's website as the end-all Spielberg survey ("If you only read one Speilberg [sic] feature ever, make it this one!"), I strongly disagree with their empty hyperbole given the derivative nature of the coverage and its absolutely unacceptable amount of errors.
The interview is a worthwhile read for Spielberg's responses, but honestly on a whole it's a rather stale interview (the line of questioning the interviewer takes Spielberg through is horribly bland over-all) that reveals nothing you haven't heard before.

 T-rex - King Of Killers Or Cowardly Scavenger? You Decide - Birmingham City Guide news
"Big, nasty and stinky – that's my idea of T-rex," explained Dr Jack Horner (technical advisor to Steven Spielberg on Jurassic Park and the inspiration behind the character of Alan Grant, played by Sam Neil).
From findings at Hell Creek, Montana in 1990, Horner is convinced that with its tiny arms, bulky legs and lack of speed T-rex would not have been capable of catching and killing its own prey.
The mighty reptile, Horner claims, was in fact a scavenger that used strength and stench to claim the kills of other dinosaurs.
