Favorite Jurassic Park Films

[customfig]

Which is your favorite Jurassic Park films?

 

[IrishJedi]

The original, easily.

"The Lost World" is Spielberg's second-worst film of the past 15-20 years (right behind "Hook").

And War of the Worlds.

Yes Irish I know you liked that movie.

 

[IrishJedi]

War of The Worlds is infinitely better than The Lost World.

I just watched the two sequels and imo the franchise went downhill after the first one.

 

[IrishJedi]

The Lost World also happens to be Spielberg's most overtly political film as well, which is saying a lot considering the subject matter of some of his other more recent movies, such as SPR and Munich.

Eh? I liked the book. The first one was ok, over-hyped in my opinion.

 

[KitFisto]

The first one by a country mile.

 

[Vince]

Sometimes people say stupid questions don't exist, but I dare to call this one stupid.

 

[Gruson]

I thought The Lost World was really good. (minus the black girl of course)

Some great T-Rex sequences and Goldblum was great in it.

I loved the city scenes too and would put The Lost World above War of the Worlds for sure.


The third one was just awful...

They all stink. Especially when you think about how great Jurassic Park could have been, sadly it's a stupid film.

 

[Agent0028]

I like the first one the best, but I think TLW is really good too. The only good thing about the third on is having Alan Grant back because he was my favorite when I was little.

 

[dunedain]

The first one. All the way.

So did Rising Sun and Sphere and in retrospect it kinda seems like Crichton got screwed when it came to making films of his books. I read a lot in that same fiction genre and I really enjoyed those three books, but the movie translation were rather sub-par.

IMO Jurassic Park probably got made 10 years before it should of--it was a huge endeavor in special effects AND storytelling and I don't think it was a good as it could have--especially since I think the source material was very good.

The first is the only one that exists in my world.

I wasn't aware that there was more than one good Jurassic Park movie
