I was under the impression that two was widely considered to be vastly superior to three.

Uhhh, I think you've got that backwards. Well at least I've usually found more people partial to three than two.

Well the rating on imdb for two is higher, so it seems two was more better liked. Seriously, what is there to like about three?

Not much, if you ask me. But I still prefer it to 2, and find the first one to be way better then either of them.

I'm not sure how to say it, but the first one has a sense of wonder and amazement to it that the other two lack.

I prefer it to three, doesn't mean it's exactly a great movie. It's the different between an F- and a D+, either way you suck.

I dislike 2 because it's a horribly ham fisted green aesop. There's no sublty to it. It's just tree huggers vs. greed and of course the hippies are in the right. Most of the characters are relatively unlikable. Really, they managed to make Vince Vaughn annoy me. At worst I'm usually neutral to his presence but here, ugh. Funny enough, they also disappear for the climax. Vince, the hunter, the kid, just gone for the finale. The finale itself is un-needed. As somewhat entertaining as it might be to see a T-Rex stomping through a modern city it doesn't feel like Jurassic Park and it felt very tacked on, very forced. I will say that Jeff Goldblum was awesome in it.

3 Is still not a great movie. The Kirby's are just flat, as is Billy. They just occupy space and deliver lines without ever really adding anything. Grant was good as was the kid. They completely mistreated the T-Rex and the finale is every bit as stupid as 2's. Really, those Marines would have had to have been within about 120 miles of the island to have been able to get there in time to begin with and aside from the Joint Chiefs of Staff who has the swing to redeploy an entire MEU?

However, three was much closer in feeling to the original. They were less prepared and relatively defenseless. As technically inaccurate as the Spinosaurus was it was still an enjoyable "villain." They brought in the aviary which was the one big thing that got cut out of the original that I wanted to see. I liked what they did with the raptors a hell of a lot.

I guess my biggest gripe with 2 and 3 is that the people just didn't matter. They were just snacks for the dinosaurs. In one even the dino bait like Nedry and Genaro got some characterization, they felt real.

They should have stuck with the second book more when making the second movie.

I've got it. They're going to swipe the Invisible Dinosaurs from the second book when making the fourth movie.

No, invisible dinosaurs are overpowered. Just compromise and give some of them camouflage.

That's what it was. Chameleon skills. They beat them by using flashlights to outwit their camoflague and causing them to back away so they could hide and live to fight another day.

2 was good for me because I didn't look into the green aesop that much. I liked the effects, the dinosaurs, Malcolm, the San Diego finale and finally, Roland, RIP Peter Postlethwaite. (Mutherfucker took out a T-Rex) It's a summer blockbuster that shouldn't be looked too deeply into. Then again you can say it is also an attack on the Green Peace PETA organizations with Vince's character.

3 marked the end of my childhood when the T-Rex was made a Jobber.

Still the prospect of seeing my favorite characters again has me excited.

Why are they going to ruin a perfectly good film by slathering Three Dee all over it? It would be like taking a great big dump on the Mona Lisa. Three Dee only makes sense if the goddamn film was filmed in goddamn Three Dee in the first place. Since it wasn't, this makes as much sense as a chocolate fricking tea pot.

It's all about the money as Vince Mc Mahon would say, but I think that converting JP to 3D wouldn't be bad since there are a lot of scenes that could look cool in 3D.

I saw the film at the cinema when it came out. Rented the dvd,watched it on the telly. I therefore have no need to fatten the studio's coffers with more money. And Three Dee is a bit of a Berserk Button for me.

You could always buy those glasses that turn 3D movies into 2D. Oh and I want Jurassic Park to make more money, it sure as hell deserves it more than those two pretentious James Cameron films.

The raptors in Jurassic Park would have been juvenile Utahs.

Is that why they were breeding and everything at 2 meters tall?

The raptors in Jurassic Park were not Utahs. They were deinonychus. At the time that Jurassic Park was made, deinonychus were believed to be a species of velociraptor.

I just skimmed through the previous posts, but I'm thankful they abandoned the previous storyline with genetically engineered human dinosaur hybrids for military purposes. Seriously its been done numerous times before in Alien, Species, First Encounter Assault Recon, Mass Effect, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, the game version of The Thing, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Metal Gear, Star Trek, Dune, and the list goes on and on and on.

We have a title and a release date: Jurassic World, on June 12, 2015.

Meanwhile, the fired words Park, The, and Lost have found work again together in a comedy film about a hesitant man who keeps losing potential parking spaces and thus wastes his car's gas.

I kind of like because if the rumors are true I like the comparison of this Jurassic World to Disneyworld where it was bigger and better than Jurassic Park's Disneyland.

I think's it's Jurassic World because, at the end of 3, the Dinosaurs were escaping the island. This is how the modern world deals with dinosaurs.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

The dinosaurs were not escaping the island.

A handful of pterosaurs were escaping the island. That is not the same as, "The dinosaurs are escaping." Unless the pterosaurs are planning on carrying a Tyrannosaurus in their talons, the most the world has to worry about is the occasional rogue pterosaur, and I don't think a movie with just pterosaurs and no other dinosaurs in it would be sufficient enough threat or spectacle to create a Jurassic Park film out of.

And even then, we don't actually know they're escaping anywhere. Pterosaurs fly. By nature, they are not limited to an island, but they still need to be able to cross the ocean to reach anywhere else. Are they capable of doing that? We don't know. And regardless of whether they are or not, the Triceratops, Velociraptors, Stegosaurs, etc. aren't going anywhere.
