Actually, I rather liked the original movie. That being said, Michael Crichton was always a gifted story teller, but not necessarily the greatest at character development. As a result, I never felt compelled to buy his sequel to the original Jurassic Park; I enjoyed it immensely but when the story was over, I felt no need to revisit the world.
As a result, I think I tended to like the movies based on his books simply because the actors often made the characters seem a lot more alive and real than they were in the book.
