but to preemptively dislike a film he’s directing just because he made a sub-par Jurassic Park movie (aka any JP movie after the first) is silly.
Precisely. He was given a shitty premise if there ever was one.
On another note, it was a shame, really, that The Lost World wasn’t a good movie. It had about the only possible premise for a good sequel to JP, and the book IMO was pretty good.
