Not yet seen Fallen Kingdom but. . .
1. Jurassic Park - the original, the classic, the smartest film of the bunch and the one that does the best job of eliciting that sense of child-like wonder that one should get from seeing dinosaurs do stuff.
2. Jurassic World - the first one since JP to actually have a layered plot that goes beyond the very simple "Ahh, dinos! Run!" I mean, yes, obviously it has that but it actually puts together a story that's more than the bare bones narrative offerings of II and III.
3. JPIII - yeah, I know it's widely regarded as the worst, but if you just approach the film on its own terms and accept it for the B-movie it is then it's a fun enough adventure. I was quite disappointed by it when I first saw it but it's grown on me.
4. The Lost World - It has its moments, like the T-Rex attack on the bus, but overall I just find this one to be too dark--both in tone and visually--and it's easily the least rewatchable in the franchise for me. Not an outright bad film, but Spielberg certainly wasn't on his A-game here.
