The Jurassic Park and World movies ranked from worst to best according to fans

 The seventh film of the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic World Rebirth, is out now.

  Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park franchise has been an integral part of Hollywood history since the first film came out in 1993, and it has been going strong for more than three decades.

Dinosaurs have fascinated people ever since Richard Attenborough's John Hammond first welcomed us to Jurassic Park, and viewers saw Sam Neill face down a T Rex in the rain.

Hollywood has been hoping to recapture that magic ever since, and the franchise now features seven films — the latest of which is now in cinemas: Jurassic World Rebirth.

From the original Jurassic Park trilogy to the Jurassic World movies, viewers have had varying responses to the movies. Here is how they all rank according to fans.

6. Jurassic World: Dominion

Jurassic World: Dominion features a complicated narrative involving human clones, giant insects, and even more mutated dinosaurs. After the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom led to the destruction of Isla Nublar, genetics corporation Biosyn hopes to use their DNA to find a way to control the world's food supply.

The 2022 film brought the gang back together for the first time. Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern returned to their iconic roles as Dr Alan Grant, Dr Ian Malcolm and Dr Ellie Sattler one last time. But, unfortunately, it wasn't worth their time, and audiences have rightly voted it their least favourite film of the franchise thus far with a middling 5.6 rating.

5.Jurassic Park III

The Jurassic Park franchise originally ended with a whimper rather than a bang back in 2001 with Jurassic Park III. The movie centred on Alan and a group of all-new characters, who persuade him to go on a rescue mission and risk the wrath of dinosaurs once more in exchange for funding for his research.

It is not as exciting or charming as its predecessors; in fact, it has become a joke, especially because of its silly ending where a velociraptor speaks to Alan. The movie almost sealed the franchise's fate for good, and it has been rated only slightly better than the dud that is Dominion.

4.Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

Jurassic World helped reinvigorate the franchise, and its follow-up, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, helped to continue to draw audiences to cinemas. The movie swapped the dinosaur adventure story in favour of horror, a surprising turn of events that helped make Fallen Kingdom a memorable experience.

The film followed Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard's Owen and Claire contending with dinosaurs rampaging in the house of Hammond's former business partner, who is hosting a black market sale of the creatures after an extinction event threatens them. The film comes in at the middle of the pack and received a decent enough rating from viewers: 6.1.

3.The Lost World: Jurassic Park

The original Jurassic Park was hard to follow, but audiences wanted more, so Hollywood answered, and thus Goldblum returned for The Lost World in 1997. The movie saw his character Malcolm work with a new team, including Sarah Harding (Julianna Moore) and Nick Van Owen (Vince Vaughn), at Jurassic Park's Site B island to document the dinosaurs that live there.

While Malcolm and his crew hope to show that dinosaurs deserve to be left alone after being brought back from extinction, others hope to bring them closer to civilisation even if they're at risk of running riot. The film was an enjoyable adventure even if it wasn't quite the same as the original, but it received a favourable 6.6 rating amongst fans.

2.Jurassic World

After the failings of Jurassic Park III, it seemed like Spielberg's beloved franchise had reached its end, until 2015's Jurassic World proved there was still life in it. The movie introduced Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard as Owen and Claire, staff at the new Jurassic World theme park.

The dinosaurs are still dangerous, but the idea of being entertained by them is still appealing, so the public has flocked to the park, but it all goes wrong when a mutated dinosaur goes rogue and starts wreaking havoc. Jurassic World helped bring the beloved franchise back from the brink of extinction and proved an entertaining romp that did just enough to breathe new life into the series.

Nothing can compare to the original Jurassic Park; it's undeniable. Spielberg's original 1993 movie is perfect in almost every way, from the exciting narrative to the awe-inspiring action sequences and countless memorable moments. There are few films like it.

The movie follows Dr Alan Grant, Dr Ian Malcolm and Dr Ellie Sattler as they are brought to a remote tropical island where John Hammond reveals that dinosaurs are no longer extinct and asks for their help to endorse the park to open to the public. The movie became an instant classic and it should be no surprise that audiences view it as the best film of the franchise by a mile.
