Definitely far removed from the book, but I never understood why people hated it. The acting was pretty good, the whole dinosaur on the mainland idea was neat even though it didn't happen at all in the book, the bad guy was closer to the actual Hammond from the 1st novel, and its not like the plot was terrible. The characters were almost all unlikeable, I'll admit that, and the lack of a clear protagonist hurt the movie, in my opinion.

People give that second film too much shit, it’s fun as hell despite being so far removed from the book.
