The Jurassic Park franchise could have been a lot worse — and the Jaws sequels prove it
-
I never said Lost World was better than Jurassic Park.
I did think the book was closer to the quality of the original (but never reaching it) while the movie version was mediocre.I am surprised they haven't released a Timeline movie yet, it seems like a good fit for a mass market movie (plus you'll have all the Crichton fans).
Over 20 years ago. Didn't do great, probably why they haven't taken another crack at it...

How did I miss this? Although it sounds like they completely butchered the concept.
I will have to check it out, thanks for sharing!

Timeline!?
Yeah, if you love the book you'll probably be disappointed.
Just pretend you haven't read it. It's actually a pretty fun flick, it just doesn't live up to the book; in any proportion.

That's no excuse. How many Marvel films (starting with 'Howard The Duck') did it take for MCU to begin to be successful.
They just need to reboot it a billion times. I forget the latin addige, but it is basically 'Some Will Hit, Some Will Miss'
'Nec Omiss nec nulla' or some shit. Not gonna 'duck duck go' it... got meat cookin'.

The Jurassic World movies are much worse than the Jaws sequels
LOL, hell no. The Jaws sequels were stupid even by 80s standards. Friends and I saw Jaws 3D in the theater and were like, "What the fuck was that?" This is the same gang who thought The Ice Pirates was master cinema and The Beastmaster was top tier television.
For myself, I really like the first World movie, the second was sorta OK, the third was absolutely incomprehensible. Watched it 3 times, no idea what it was about, can't remember a single scene.
Now for the really hateful opinion! Jurassic Park III was damned good.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You keep Jaws 3D out your fucking mouth. Jurassic Park wishes it could create a masterpiece like that!
Hah! You should read the comment I just wrote about that!

OK, here's my hateful take on JP:
I
III
(kind of a tie here)
World
II
Fallen Kingdom
Dominion (proof that there is no loving god)
Rebirth looks promising, but Dominion hurt me badly.

The Jaws Sequels are better than the JP sequels, including that goofy one with Michael Caine.
