4. Jurassic Park III

For the longest time, Jurassic Park III was considered the worst movie of the franchise. It seems like a rough fate considering how decent the movie actually is, but it was hard to argue with when its only competition was Jurassic Park, and The Lost World. As its place on this ranking highlights, it doesn’t hold that title any longer, so let’s take some time to actually acknowledge how good it is.

Like many of the later installments in classic movie franchises, Jurassic Park III isn’t particularly worried about adding anything new to the saga. It’s just a survival story set in an already established world, so it doesn’t waste time in throwing you right into the action. And when that action involves an estranged couple kidnapping Alan Grant so that he can rescue their missing son from an island full of dinosaurs, it’s pretty darn compelling. It also tries something different by focusing more on the velociraptors’ motivations (and changing up their appearance) and by having a new antagonistic dinosaur in the Spinosaurus.

The one thing that the movie got wrong was its disrespectful treatment of the T-Rex to establish the Spinosaurus as the new threat. Fans didn’t take too kindly to that and they were right to call it out for it. That aside, though, it’s an enjoyable standalone chapter in a franchise that has since become too concerned with its own complicated mythology.
