Which is worse? Jurassic Park 2 or Jurassic Park 3?

Both were pretty horrible movies no matter what I'd say.

Jurassic Park 2 was so incredibly stupid. Lots of lame events happening, the worst of them of course being T-Rex running loose in America. Honorable mention has to go to the annoying kid doing gymnastics and beating up a velociraptor. Ahh, how they ruined such a great book. Lots of excess pointless eating of people.

Jurassic Park 3 although not quite as stupid, was horribly unoriginal and possibly even more unbelievable (how is that even possible). I mean theres some Tarzan boy that manages to live on the island for a while. You just watch it w/o much drama or interest (at least Jurassic Park 2 had some tension to keep you semi-attached). At the end of the movie, all you think is... "okay." Not that the movie was okay, but you just watched something and that was all kind of "okay."

However, I still must give the honor to Jurassic Park 2 as the worser of the movies. T-Rex rampaging the streets just does it for me.

God forbid, I heard of a Jurassic Park 4 in the making.

Definitely Jurassic Park 2. While both were silly at best, I actually found the 3rd one entertaining in a cheesy Sunday afternoon movie sort of way.

William H Macy acuatly came into Staples here in Vermont one day and bought a fax machine.. i ALMOST asked him why JP3 sucked so much (espically the ending).. but i think he might have gotten offended :)

I think Jurassic park 2 sucked the most. Jurassic 3 is still good for me to kill time when they play it on cable. But Jurassic 2? HELL NO!

I liked all three. I take them for what there are for - sequels. I don't expect much from sequels because if it was that good - it would have made the first film. They are entertaining and have nice visuals to boot.

On the topic of the films, if I could change one thing about the first film it would be to let the Australian raptor keeper live and kill one of the raptors.

Both horrible. JP3 being more horrible. The movie had no idea what to do then just ended.

At least JP2 had the cool Raptor field, everything else sucked.

God they were horrible.

I still thought it was kinda cool. :)

Can we really expect a storyline out of such movies?

Edit: But then I must admit that JP1 was much much much better done than the other two.

I meant to say 2 was better than 3 for me...

But yeah, there really was no way to follow up 1, which was awesome.

They just milked the Jurassic Park name bone dry..

They should've made a new original dino movie, but I think they wanted to make some easy money off Spielberg's name.

I don't see how you can exempt them for being sequels. NOTHING should be that bad still.

Furthermore, JP2 has far less of an excuse as for gods sake they had a book to base it on. True, they can't adapt everything but to ruin it that much. Man.

JP3 is see on TV with nothing better to do enjoyable. But JP2 is painful to watch for me.

I actually thought JP3 was good, just had a stupid ending and was too short.

The second movie was good until speilberg decided he wanted to turn jp into godzilla and it all went downhill.

Roger that. I own all three and I really like them all! :D Great movies to show off your HT...nothing like those footstomps thru a 15" sub to scare the pee out of your guests. :Q

recall the time they found those fossilized mosquitoes, and before long, they were cloning DNA
Now, I'm being chased by some irate velociraptors, well, believe me, this has been one lousy day.

Jurrasic park is frightning in the dark all the dinosaurs are running wild.
Someone shut the fence off in the rain
I admit it's kinda eerie, but this proves my "Chaos Theory"
And I don't think I'll be coming back again,
Oh noooo!

I cannot approve of this attraction, 'cause getting disembowled always makes me kinda mad.
A huge Tyrannosaurus ate our lawyer, well I suppose that proves they're really not all bad.

Jurrasic park is frightning in the dark
all the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T-rex out of his pen.
I'm afraid those things will harm me
Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh nooo!

**Tortured screams**

Jurrasic park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
What a crummy weekend this has been.
Well, this sure ain't no E-ticket
Think I'll tell them where to stick it
'Cause I'm never coming back this way, again!
Oh nooo!!! whoooaahh nooooo!

2 was hella lame. The dino running loose in the city was soooo stupid it wasn't even funny. The movie script followed the book for about 5 minutes, and then it was TOTALLY different (cept for how that one dude died at the end).

3 was also lame, but not quite as bad I thought. The part with the electricity and fire and the Spinosaurus was a direct rip from any Japanese monster movie. Also, the entire plot was "shh... oh sh1t! a dinosaur! run!" *running* "phew that was close, shh... oh sh1t! another dinosaur! run!" *running*
