The first Jurassic Park movie is all time one of the greatest films ever made with the special effects still holding up to this day. The 2nd film was still very enjoyable in my opinion but it was just a cookie cutter sequel not bad, not good. The 3rd film wasn’t great at all. But compared to the rest of the series the 3rd film is basically the godfather.
As another personal pick the 1st blade movie is a hood classic good. The other 2 not so much.
I thought 3 was a deal better than 2. 2 was generic Hollywood schlock that dragged in the middle; 3 at least attempted some interesting things, and even bordered on artsy at times.
1 was, of course, the best. Haven't seen 4 and 5.
I see 2 and 3 as one continuous story. Lord Cutler Beckett is basically the personification of capitalism and industrialism. He spends his time killing or taking over these "free" people who all do whatever they want whenever they want with no masters and no one telling them what to do, and subjugating them under the yoke of the changing new world.
Idk I'm kinda high right now. I like Beckett as a villain, because he represents certain aspects of the human spirit and he is at the end just a dude. He's not an immortal squid-man and he's not an undead were-skeleton.
