It was still pretty successful, it sucking royally [as subjective as something can get] or not. 3 didn't kill interest, it increased interest - and as I said, spawned an enormous merchandise. Later Jurassic Park media all feature stuff from the third film, beginning with the Spinosaurus. If it was not successful, and if it universally sucked, why would merchandise force it so much? Wouldn't that decrease sellings and thus make for a very, very unintelligent move?
