The Verdict Franchise Civil War

Both films are the franchise overreaching, but one overreach is authored and the other is assembled. The Lost World is a single dark idea pursued past the point of comfort — Spielberg making the meanest movie in the series on purpose. Dominion is a committee emptying the closet: legacy cast, new cast, three villains, a plague of locusts, a globe-trot that abandons the island entirely. A lopsided result favors the authored excess. You can dislike The Lost World and still feel one mind driving it, where Dominion feels like a meeting that ran long and greenlit everything in the room.
