- The exchange about God creating dinosaurs and woman inheriting the earth is nominated. — Sean Fennessey
- The theme-park pirates comparison is praised as funny and credible dialogue.
- The final withdrawal of the park endorsement is criticized as unnecessary, with Hammond’s survival questioned.
- The creation exchange is preferred; spare-no-expense, clever-girl and future-ex-wife lines are additional memorable choices.
- Keeping Hammond alive is speculatively linked with Spielberg’s affection for Attenborough and the earlier Gandhi Oscar result.
- Malcolm’s lechery is funny, though the speakers doubt many actors could get away with it in 2018. — Sean Fennessey
