The Verdict Franchise Civil War

Neither is anyone's idea of prime Jurassic, and the tie is two odd swings drawing even. Jurassic Park III pushes the series toward lean creature-feature economy; Fallen Kingdom pushes it toward gothic horror, all shadow and dread. Each does one thing well and little else — the clean chase against the haunted-house atmosphere — so the vote turns on which register you want the dinosaurs playing in, a threat to outrun or a monster in the dark. The split is the franchise discovering it can be more than one kind of scary.
