History YMMV / JurassicParkIII

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s9sjPzyQjk Alan's bad dream]]. Sure it's {{Foreshadowing}} but it's still pretty random. The fact that it's a [[YouDontLookLikeYou redesigned]] [[RaptorAttack Velociraptor]], rather than how they looked in [[Film/{{Jurassic Park}} first film]] only adds to the BLAM nature of the scene.

** There are also certain fans who think that the individual ''T. rex'' here is a matured version of Junior, the baby from ''The Lost World''. Which is fairly dark way to look at it, considering what happens to the ''T. rex'' in this film. At the same time, though, it could explain why it is so easily defeated; it is young, inexperienced and possibly still has a crippling internal injury. What really pushes this theory even further is when ''Film/JurassicWorld'' was released, to which people were happy to see that the original Rexy from ''Film/JurassicPark'' was still alive and well.

** The redesigned ''Velociraptor'' can also count, due to their more birdlike snouts and eyes and the tuft of feathers on the heads of the males. Some fans appreciate the subtle nod to the then-recent discovery of feathers on raptors and also like their color patterns. Others dislike them due to the sudden break in continuity, and still others criticize them for not being feathered ''enough.''

* SignatureScene: The SpinosaurusVersusTRex scene, which concludes with the brutal death of the latter, more popular dinosaur, sparked waves of mockery that transcended the boundaries of the fandom, eventually upgrading the ''Spinosaurus'' to the status of stock dinosaur and popularizing the idea of the species having a rivalry with the ''T. rex'' in multiple works across all media.

** Alan Grant's claim about dinosaurs that are "smarter than primates" becomes this after scientific behavioral tests confirmed that corvids such as crows and ravens have cognitive capacities rivalling those of chimpanzees and seven-year-old human children. And as you'd probably know, ''birds are living dinosaurs.''
*** Doubly so after more recent studies suggested that ''Velociraptors'' and its relatives were not exceptionally smart, and it was actually ''T. rex'' that may have been the most intelligent dinosaurs. Its intelligence was even compared to wolves and ''baboons'', making it the closest RealLife version of Grant's theory.

* Nash and Udesky catch some hate for abandoning their buddy Cooper to be ultimately devoured by the ''Spinosaurus''. What gets overlooked is that not only did they just realize how in over their heads they were and rightly panicked, but they still had several civilians whom they were responsible for safeguarding and the best way to do this in that moment, with a 50+ foot superpredator barreling toward them, was to get everyone who was on the plane as high up in the air as quickly as possible.
