With the upcoming release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (how awesome it's looking from what we've seen) I thought this would be a good time to rank the current four (soon to be five) Jurassic films. For me they go:
Jurassic Park
The Lost World: Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park III
Jurassic World
Yes, release order. Some may disagree with Jurassic World being at the bottom but barring the awesome end battle scene I found it rather boring and quite silly. It also had terrible CGI and no suspense at all. I feel the original is the best by a massive margin and The Lost World despite it's flaws is a good sequel and at times comes close to matching the original, though is held back by some serious problems (the infamous gymnastics scene, the characters of Kelly and Sarah, the overly talky and somewhat plodding first half). I feel the series definitely declines significantly with each new film but I'm hopeful Fallen Kingdom will buck that trend. Looks amazing so far.
