Jurassic Park IV

[FlashJim]

My kids and I watched the Jurassic Park III last night and they asked me if there would be a 4th. I told them, "probably not unless it's just for the money."

I did a search and sure enough, it goes into production later this year or 2007 with a release date in 2008. Of course, like all movies, it may fall through.

I have all three but none can beat the first. I do believe IMHO that the franchise has run its course and JP4 will probably bomb at the boxoffice.

IMHO, if the writers and director decide to try following more closely the books by Michael Crichton then they could salvage something for Part IV. Possibly look at the dinosaurs spreading up Central American, etc.

Please no!!!! I hated 2 and 3. 1 was great. But it should have stopped there.

One was really good, then two got worse then three was pretty bad... They are going to do it until they totally die like the Tremors Movies, Home Alone, or Smokey and the Bandit (which I'm sure ppl on here don't watch),until they have squeezed every last drop of blood out of it.

I read the original book by Crichton years ago, who used to be one of my favorite authors, and was ecstatic when they made a movie. It lived up to all my expectations, and I think was a landmark in film history. Huge thumbs up.

After that, I simply lost interest and didn't like what I did manage to see of 2 and 3.

The first time I saw JP2, I thought it was pretty good - but then they got back to the mainland. I was suddenly angry about the movie ticket I had purchased.

Nothing will beat the first one, IMHO

[David Meek]

I do agree with that last statement. The original was in several ways a tour-de-force and a pretty decent movie to boot, but 2 and 3 were popcorn - bad popcorn. Number 4 could be a reasonably decent flick if they don't pander to the lowest common movie-going denominator, but that IMO is a contradiction. It seems to me that the fourth movie of a series is almost always made primarily to make money and that puts the bean-counters in control. That's NOT the way to make a quality movie.

Oh, no! That's the first I've heard of this and I have to be honest, I really really hope they don't do it. The series has gone totally downhill as the movies have gone on. The first one was good and fun, the second one was okay, and the third.... well, the third was just. Not worth mentioning. i hate when people don't know when to let the good thing go.
