In 1993, I was 12 and saw Jurassic Park. I was so enthralled I read Jurassic Park and all the Michael Crichton books I could find. Crichton is probably who's canon I've read the most of.
I've read he wasn't a fan of writing 'The Lost World' and did not love the film adaptation. Outside of some initial work with Jurassic Park 3's story ideas, which he left early in the process, he never was involved with Jurassic Park again.
He died in 2008, seven years before Jurassic World came out. With JP:Rebirth being out do you think he would appreciate the direction of the franchise?
Literally no Jurassic Park movie after the first is "good". They have good parts, but are all overall garbage products. 3 and the first World are okay blockbuster nonsense movies, the kind you take kids to to entertain them without a lot of depth and falling apart when you think about them.
But all the rest are offensively bad. Like JP2 and World 2 actually piss on your leg and try to tell you its raining with their politics being shoved in your face.
Yep, only the first and perhaps Jurassic World (as a disposable popcorn flick).
