No... 3 is ropey, but it's a shit ton better than 2 which is absolutely horrendous on all fronts.
Am I alone in preferring JP3 to the Lost World? -

The second book and film were partly his idea! As was the t-rex in San Diego. It was nothing to do with studio obligations, he does the films he wants.
Both the sequels were shit.
Lost world a low point in Spielbergs filmography.
No reason to make that film other than fulfilling commitments to studios. -
JP2 lost it for me when it tried to give a serious role to Vince Vaughn. Nothing against the guy, just that it's like when Owen Wilson tried to be an action star. It plainly doesn't work.
See also: Adrien Brody. -

I prefer JP2 purely because of the quality of the actors. Ford, Winstone and Shia are all abysmal.

Registered 12 years agoI get the feeling people are holding Spielberg up to a higher standard than most (rightly so) when comparing the two. Either that or it's simply the "cool" thing to say. But in isolation, 3 is orders of magnitude worse than TLW. That oh-so-obvious "we ran out of ideas and money" ending, if nothing else should clue you in.
Name the worst thing about TLW, and I guarantee it's not as bad as being chased by a Spinosaur with a phone ringing in it's belly, followed by wading through shit (good metaphor of itself) to find said phone. -

Nah, Eddie's death in JP2 during the trailer attack was far worse. Actually seeing him get torn in half by the T Rexes made me wince.
I don't think studios are brave enough to make as horrific a PG-13 any more, which is what Jurassic Park was. Muldoon's death is particularly violent. You can see a practical raptor puppet visciously biting his face (masked partially by a palm leaf).
You'd never get away with that any more. In fact, I'm convinced something went on in 1993 to make sure it slipped through. Studios need to lower the rating to get more people into seats, unfortunately.
Honestly if most of you are basing your opinion on seeing them a few years ago then they're worth a rewatch. -

To be fair, you might think that going back and watching it, but in 1997 Vince Vaughn was pretty much unknown for comedy. Or anything.

Registered 17 years agoI watched JP again a couple of months ago. The gf had never seen it (she was 18 months old when it released) and I'm trying to catch her up with all the iconic films I grew up with. It's the first time I've watched where I felt it was actually aging. The BD picture quality doesn't help, as it really separates the CG in the scenes.
Still, she liked it.

Eddie's death was a poorly-made homage to Genaro's death, at worst. It was not as bad as a girning skeleton falling out of a tree attached to a parasail.

Off topic but I tried to get my girlfriend to watch Guardians of the Galaxy the other day. Complete fail. She literally couldn't sit and watch it past the first 45 minutes, nor keep track of all the goofy space names and plot points.

Dinosaurs in the City...hmm, I can honestly see some kind of half-interesting TV spin-off from this film.

I love zombies - but think of how much more interesting The Walking Dead would be with 'raptors! -

Then he tried to do Psycho the year after JP2.
At which point I think even he admitted he wasn't cut out for anything beyond buddy comedies and mostly gave up. -
Scale purposes. Audiences know how big a great white is. Also perhaps a jibe at Jawsblonski -
In Jurassic Park fiction they clone animals and fuck about with DNA all the time, so they've probably got a conveyor belt churning out great whites behind the shed. -
Vince Vaughan is the reason why Stepbrothers is much better than Anchorman.
Deal with it.
