Despite it's many flaws, this film still has more of the Jurassic Park spirit than the overhyped and overall soulless sequel we waited fourteen years for.

Slightly agree.
I expected so much from JW and it fell short by a lot (honestly, I wrote a better story in my head than their final product).
JP3 has its problems but it's he most rewatch able sequel and the most fun I think with Alan Grant back.
TLW is boring and JW is too cheesy/campy
Bump.

I like all the movies, but nothing will ever really live up to the orginal. Probably because Jurassic Park paved the way for practical effects mixed well with CGI. There was nothing really like it before, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart for that. Plus the story is the best paced of the four, IMO.
However, if I had to put them in order, I'd say Jurassic Park III comes before The Lost World. I like the action scenes better in that one, and honestly not sure why all the hate. I mean, it does kind of recycle TLW's plot in that someone's once again lost on the island, but it's still an enjoyable movie. It's got better rewatch-ability, but I must be in the minority of people who enjoys all the sequels

No, Jurassic World felt like a true sequel to Jurassic Park. It paid homage to the original trilogy(even winking at the spinosaurus vs. t rex duel in JP3), had a likable cast and most importantly pushed the story forward. Jp3 was just a recreation of Jurassic park. The only thing that I wish JW did was bring back some of the original characters, but hopefully they'll make an appearance in JW2. You know, like what fast and the furious did...
shareJurassic World tried too hard to wink at the fans with it's constant (trite) attempts at cleverness. It feels more like a parody/satire of Jurassic Park than a genuine sequel.

I absolutely agree.
This movie feels real because of real locations and clever editing blending animatronics with CGI. JW just shows cgi dinosaurs and buildings without any attempt at camouflaging the fakeness of it.
JP 3 also depicts dinosaurs as real animals while JW depicts them as brainless monsters (mosasaur, indominus rex) or humanizes them way too much (nodding raptor).
Oh, and JP3 had way better characters.
People complain that the Spinosaurus was over-the-top, but what it actually did during it's brief screen time is NOTHING compared to the B-movie antics of I-Phone Rex.

Absolutely. The plane scene is a beautiful example. That is exactly how a dog or cat would try to get his food out of a metal tube. Animal behavior, not monster behavior.
shareAdditionally, it's dogged pursuit after the main characters is also logical.
Remember that the plane injured the Spinosaurus enough to make it bleed (note the blood on the windshield after the nose scrapes by the sail of the creature). The humans emerging from the wrecked portion of the aircraft could be perceived as the vehicle's "offspring" that could one day also pose a threat to it.

That was cringe worthy to read.
