4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best dinosaur films of all time!
This was a rock on kind of film. I liked it a lot, and thought it was well made and filled with fighting, blood and gore, intense terror, and everything else one would want to see in an R-rated dinosaur flick. I don't know why some people put it down. I loved the nasty raptors and ferocious T-Rex, and of course the sex scene in the truck just before the girl's dopey...

3.0 out of 5 stars Fake, Cheesy, Gory, FUN!
This movie is a total ripoff from the Carnosaur series. About 70% of the movie is scenes from the Carnosaur movies! However, this movie is fun to watch and is very funny. I mean, about two minutes into the movie and the dinosaurs are tearing people to shreads! This movies has tons of blood and gore, and fake looking dinosaurs. But if you are an open minded movie watcher...

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best dinosaur films of all time!, July 30, 2005
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
This was a rock on kind of film. I liked it a lot, and thought it was well made and filled with fighting, blood and gore, intense terror, and everything else one would want to see in an R-rated dinosaur flick. I don't know why some people put it down. I loved the nasty raptors and ferocious T-Rex, and of course the sex scene in the truck just before the girl's dopey boyfriend got ripped to pieces. And Dr. Hyde was a good villain. I also thought the blonde woman in it was hot, and that there were many cool quotes. And the guns? Forget it! They and their users were all that and a bag of chips. This movie is cool and well put together, and I recommend it highly! Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because the acting and ending could have been made a little bit better, but otherwise it rocks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as the Jurrasic Parks,but its fun, June 13, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
A good movie,but has very poor effects.The dinosaurs look so fake.The Jarrasic Park serries had great effects.Other than that its a very good movie.Good acting and a good plot.One of the most goriest movies ive ever seen.A group of scientest create a lot of raptors and one t-rex.1 of the raptors escapes and kills five locals and two policemen.The shierf and his girlfriend investigates the killings and go check out the building were the dinosaurs were created.The head scientest(Dr.Hyde)is actually rooting for the raptors,and lock them in a room were the raptors will come and eat them.Like in Python 1 and 2 the government are involved and they send about 10 soldiers there to kill the raptors.Before the shierf went to Dr.Hydes labs and got locked up,he told the electric company to turn off the power at exactly 3:00 PM.So when the power goes out the door comes open were they were trapped and the lazers that were keeping the raptors from escaping go off.Now the dinosaurs are free in the building and are killing the soldiers and scientest.One of the raptors gets in the helicopter and kills the women driving it and it blowsup. They send another helicopter and the surviving soldiers and scientest escape.The t-rex eats Dr.Hyde in the end and the sheirf kills the T-rex.The soldiers blow up the building and the raptors die.A good movie to rent and even buy if you like.Thanks for reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Movie over Jurassic Park, April 14, 2004
By 
J. P. Suhr "Slagar" (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
This one of the best dinosaur movies I have ever seen. Not even Jurrasic Park III was this good. A scientist has genetically created velico raptors and 1 tranasaruas rex which you only she for about 15 percent of the film.

This is what happens there is a malfuction on of the laser cords malfuctions. One of the raptor escape gets lose and kills some people. The police man and his girl friend check out the murder.

They trace it to Uniscore were there they are later captured and prision buy Hades a scum bag. He even killed on of his employes because he thought her had lost his vision and forgotten his vision. Hades himself eventually dies is devour at the end by the T-rex after it escape from is storage area.

To make it better like python 1 and 2 and Predator 2 the goverment are inevolved. Hades program at one point has been sponsored by the goverment but after one of the raptors escaped and killed some people abadon the project.

But Hades contiunes to do his research buy getting foreign funding from Iraq. The goverment figures out that he reactivated project and send armed marines on a seek and destroy mission.

Shortly after entering the building the secretary under the sherrif order shuts of the power. By the time the power is turn back on the raptors and the t-rex are loose.

There are two fun parts in the move that rip of Aliens. One when a lady in the chopter turn around there is a rapter in the helicopter it kill her then like in aliens the helicopter hits the ground and blows up instantly.

The other rip of Aliens is at the end when the police officer fight the T-rex

4.0 out of 5 stars The best Carnosaur movie, even though it isn't one, May 7, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
This movie takes footage from all three of the Carnosaur movies and makes a movie better than any of them. The main characters are actually kind of interesting (which is something you'd never say about anyone in any of the 3 Carnosaur movies), and I actually found myself caring about them when they got in a tight spot. It's also just a wonderful cheese fest. My favorite part is when the Sheriff calls up the power company to ask them to turn off the power to a certain facility at a certain time. He gets ahold of a customer service rep who looks like she should be saying "Hi, I'm Buffy, and I'd like to tell you about a wonderful new offer from Time-Life books". Then she forgets to turn off the power when she's supposed to. It's all good fun. Other people like to complain about all the continuity errors caused by the blatant stealing of film from other movies, but actually it isn't bad at all. If you like to nitpick that sort of stuff, this is the mother lode, but to the casual viewer you probably won't even notice.

Overall, I found this a very enjoyable B-movie. Melissa Braselle is great in her part (and great to look at), the plot moves along well, and it's all good fun.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should be titled "Ripoff", November 8, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
Remember "Carnosaur"? Here it is again. Same exact rubber "monster" scenes, new faces looking bewildered between them. Shame on me for not renting this first - skip it, you've seen this drivel before.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a prime example of Camp done ... Campy, December 21, 2008
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
If you're looking for cinima excellence, this is NOT it. But it is Camp with a capital C. The rubber-puppet dinos and the busty blonde pretty much tell the tale in this flick that has the same plot points that Jurrasic Park does, but is SOOOO different.

If you like Camp done right, check this out. If not, don't bother.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gory, Cheesy, and Often Over-the-Top, but Still Good, September 21, 2008
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
Raptor is a rare kind of movie.(You don't see many movie's that take clips of other movie's and smash them all into one film that tries to be scary.) The Raptors look like people in rubber costumes, and eat people before they escape from any factory. In fact, within 2 minutes of the movie comes "the jeep scene", in which a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex(who I guess they try to pass as a small Raptor, even though the scene is from Roger Cormans Carnosaur), brutally mauls 3 teenagers. It hops inside the jeep they're in, and soon comes the over-the-top gore. That's easily the most violent scene in the movie, so if you can get past those first 3 minutes, you'll be O.K. The editor of this movie must be the dumbest man on earth, because there are mistakes everywhere. (It does make the film pretty funny though.) SEE a T. Rex from Carnosaur eat a cop from Raptor. HEAR a main character say "Listen to the doctor honey, he's got a degree." SEE a tractor from Carnosaur kill a T. Rex in Raptor. SEE a cop turn into a woman, when he was really a guy.HEAR people talk to someone when it's night, and SEE the person reply when it's day. SEE dirt change to blacktop. SEE a woman alone in an elevator get eaten by a Raptor with (all of a sudden) a lot of people. Also SEE a flashlight that she didn't have drop from her hands. These,(and many more) are what make this film funny. Also, the actors look sooo bored, and are two-dimensional. And if you want to know, these are all the movies that basically made Raptor: , Carnosaur,Carnosaur II, and Carnosaur 3: Primal Species. So I guess you can call this Carnosaur 4, When Rubbery Monsters Attack. It's worth a Saturday afternoon though. 3 Stars, or a Grade: C-.

3.0 out of 5 stars Goofy, May 27, 2008

This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
This is one goofy movie.

The raptor monsters look like people who are running around in rubber suits. In fact as I think about that's probably what they are.

The writing has a similar quality.

Still if you've got nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon you might enjoy it.

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible terrible terrible, December 28, 2001
By 
This review is from: Raptor (DVD)
The Lost World:Jurassic Park was an enetrtaining film of monsters and dinosaurs but because spielberg didn't have the heart for doing this again was slow at times; Raptor a total ripoff out and out stinks. Here's the scoop; a man caled Dr. Hyde after his project of working with dinosaurs to help man( why would anybody want to use dinosaurs to help man when there are already animals out there that can do this for us already) starts his project up again in secret with help from Pakistan. A raptor escapes(by the way there are no raptors in this movie the dinosaurs are actually t-rex's we learn) and kills three idiotic people in there old stupid looking jeep wrangler. The sheriff and an animal control expert whom he actually knows well investigate and turn up nothing of course. After many more victims become apparent and they are baffled they come upon an abandoned truck delivering chickens which was attacked by the raptors and eaten they find a book to unis corporation owned by Dr. Hyde. After some more brutal and senseless attacks on people to waste our time we finally get to the unis corporation and the sheriff and control expert are trapped by Dr. Hyde. The U.S. generals who operated jurassic storm (the name of the dinosaur project Dr. Hyde is running) and terminated it send an elite team of marines to stop and destroy the creatures after they find out that Hyde restarted the project. We meet our eal heoes then but unfortunately are only on screen for a mere 15% of the movie. Dr. Hyde is eventually killed by a raptor which is pushed over the edge literally by the sheriff in an unconvincing kat. A bomb blows and finally ends our misery of this film killing all the raptors and thats it. No dialogue no nothing no afterwards finding out what happened to the people when the destruction is finally done for. Doen't matter really because Raptor is horribly written, horribly directed, horribly produced, horribly acted, oh and yes poorly crafted special effects(even those special effects from the original Jurassic Park are much better and that was over ten years ago!). Think twice before getting Raptor.
