Entertainment Weekly 8Gleiberman 9

 

The worst thing about it is that the very idea of Jurassic Park, a place where eye-popping wonders are served up as a megabuck attraction, seems an obvious yet pointless metaphor for the commercialization of Steven Spielberg's empire. Since Hammond's [Hammond is the film's visionary entrepreneur/corporate mogul] toys and gizmos feature the same logo that's being used to sell the movie (and its many tie-in products), there's no way to separate Spielberg's 'satire' of marketing from the marketing itself.
-- Owen Gleiberman, review of "Jurassic Park" (movie) Entertainment Weekly (June 18, 1993)
