Jurassic Park the original movie spent a lot of time developing the characters of Dr. Alan Grant and Dr. Ellie Sattler, throughout the entire movie we watched Dr. Grant transform from a man who feared and disliked kids and not wanting anything to do with them, to a man who would make a wonderful father and mentor of kids. Dr. Grant's character grew as a person right before our eyes, and the natural progression of his character would be to marry Dr. Ellie Sattler and have kids of their own.
Instead Jurassic Park 3 had Dr. Grant unmarried and alone, and visiting Dr. Sattler and her family, husband and kids... Dr. Grant character development in the original movie was all for nothing, he had not grown at all as a person, in fact he even lost Dr. Sattler to another man... Dr. Grant again in Jurassic park 3 faced with mentoring another kid Erick Kirby he takes to it like a champ. Dr. Grant again shows that he would be a great father. Dr. Grant our Jurassic park hero that we all love has not grown as a person at all... very disheartening and disappointing.
They could have made the same movie, with Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler married with kids living in that big house, as a family. Dr. Grant’s character development would have been complete and come full circle tying the first movie and the third movie together much better and at the end of the movie it would be his wife that saves the day.
The character assassination of Dr. Grant was written by these idiots, Peter Buchman, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor and this train wreck of character development was directed by Michael Crichton, and together they took our hero Dr. Grant and made him the biggest loser of them all... Other than destroying the foundation of the first movie and character assassinating Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler, the rest of the movie was great, it had dinosaurs in it!
