I dunno, just the way it was done.
When I watch the first two
Jurassic Park films, I feel like I'm watching real animals. Even when the T-rex is running around San Diego in
The Lost World, I still get the impression it's just an animal that's been thrown into a situation it doesn't know how to handle (not to mention the fact it's hyped up on stimulants at the time).
In the newest film, the dinosaurs don't come across as real animals any more (at least, not by the end of the movie). It was just the little things. Like how the dinosaur fights have now deteriorated to long, drawn-out monster movie beatdowns where they keep throwing each other through stuff like its a Godzilla film. Or when whatsherface opens the T-rex pen, and it's just stood right there, as if it's been waiting patiently all along for its chance to get into the brawl. And all the cheesy glory shots of the dinosaurs looking good for the camera. It was all just kinda daft.
That's why I personally didn't like it all that much.
Oh, and the characters also sucked. The first two had some really memorable characters in them. Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Bob Peck and Pete Postlethwaite were all awesome in their roles and I remember them all fondly. In the new film I already struggle to remember who anyone was.
