Poll: Which of the jurassic park sequels is better?

The fourth one's in development, and I was having a discussion with a feisty female about which of the trilogy so far is the best.
Obviously the first one is the best, even though it was the worst book-to-film adaptation ever.
I'm of the mind the second one is the best, with better cast, action and the most hi-larious ending ever.
She's obviously into mindless blah, and thinks the third is somehow better than the third?
I don't know how, because it was simply appalling. But obviously i'm sure others think the same!
Anyway, your opinion?

Really? Worse than say, the Postman (not that I dislike the film, but as an adaptation it was pretty poor!) ? Or countless other bad book to movie adaptations? Like a lot of the Bond films that bear no resemblence to the books,
They were both pretty bad but I can at least vaguely remember the third one so I guess I must have preferred it.

The JP film really did have very little in common with the book besides the dinosaurs and the character names. Even the character's personalities were fairly remotely linked with their original ones.
Several Bond films were really quite good adaptations - but obviously only early on. As a series, it's more hollywood now than Ian Flemming.
Saying that, I never read The Postman.

The only thing the same between the book and the film is the lead character dressing as a postman.
I agree the early Bond films were fairly spot on. But then look at Moonraker to see the flip side.

OH my god.
It's clearly the third, i cant believe you brought this argument to the forums. i won before and i will win here.
COME ON YOU KNOW THE THIRD WAS MILES BETTER!!!!
A t-rex comes to america, come on! terrible stuff!

Yes, but saying that - Moonraker wasn't just a bad adaptation, it was a fairly painful film to watch too
Ok, so I admit it's hardly the worst adaptation. Almost every Stephen King film is a bad adaptation.

It's an homage to King Kong, obviously!
(i'm not defending the awful ending. I thought it was funny, is all!

Perhaps they should have worked more on making thier own film better than copying another film and making it even worse!

Green Mile was a good one. I did say almost

Fair enough you did say almost
I seem to be having flash backs of hte second one now though and I remember it being awful! The ending is just rubbish.

The ending is awful, but I never disputed that
The whole thing is executed so much better than the third. Even the premise is better. Still not on par with the book, but I mean come on, they didn't need one sequel - so pushing for a second was really stretching the material.
The third one also had the worst casting for the series. I mean, I even actually cared less about Grant this time around... and he was a fantastic character in the first one...

Like how the third one copied pretty much the first two films?
