With the exception of your knock against Jurassic Park 3 (which is the 2nd best Jurassic Park movie and a fine "B" monster film on its own), I like your critiques: JP 2 is a super disjointed movie.

>Why is Roland Tembo not present in the final act when the objective of the final act is to capture the bull tyrannosaur?

Why didn't we get a 6-10 episode season of White Lotus that follows Roland Tembo trying to keep a group of upper/middle class tourists and middle/lower class park staff alive after being stranded with them on Isla Nublar?

Why did the second act of the move involve the ostensibly "good" characters making an incredibly cruel choice that led to the deaths of the ostensibly "bad" characters (who were just working stiffs)?

JP3’s actually my third favorite, I just didn’t share that opinion in this post. The pteranodon and raptor sequences are great and a spinosaurus is really important to this series because every Jurassic film after jp3 has had a new “big bad dino” when lost world had the 2 trexes. I think I would argue that it’s the most influential Jurassic film aside from the first to the franchise as a whole.

Also, yeah. Imo Van Owen should have died for his actions in the second act of Lost World.
