Who at universal stated that jurassic park 3 isn't canon? Oh thats right, no one said that. And wow Rakai Thwei, really? You actually wanted a reboot of predator? The reason your even here? You know how shitty reboots are nowadays? I mean obviousley not since your opinion is to drive another nail into the coffin.
I never said Jurassic park 3 was taken out of canon, what I said is the part with the spinosaurus skeleton being destroyed was their way of apologising to the fans for the t-rex being killed off in the 3rd movie.
Spielberg said he'll make up the treatment of the t-rex in Jurassic park 3 with Jurassic park 4 aka Jurassic World
The director Colin Trevorror was quoted "Destroying a dinosaurs bones is worse than killing it."

Critical reception and the majority of popular fans response seem to be the consensuses of how were deem a films merits. Some users on this site take issue with how vocal he is taking offence to him insulting a movie he doesn't favor, big deal, what ever, to each their own, share a view point don't force it.
Though I will assert some problems with remakes/reboots is that its taking a classic movie and making a copy that pales in comparison, or its a cynical licences property the studio don't care for and just want to capitalise on it, so they cram out a product that lacks the subtleties and under tones of what made the original work. More over it pretty much renders the previous series and flow of continuity irrelevant, and not worth keeping alive other than brand recognition.
There are a few exceptions. The universal monster movies were readapted into after film years after, though technically it was merely the literature source material the new movies were adapted from.
Its probably inevitable that Alien and Predator will probably get the remake reboot in the far future, I'll just stick will the originals, let the new generation enjoy their reboot let it be judged for what it is and allow the option for the new fans to discover the old films and come to their own conclusion which they like. This is a fan community her not to fight, but to share our love and appreciation of these movie series.
