Wasn't the first one, but wasn't as bad as anything that followed. Tonally it was all over the place. First 1/3 was bad setup (but you got to see dinos a lot sooner than Jurassic Park, so that's something, I guess?). 2nd 1/3 was a thriller/horror movie, with two fantastic set pieces (the bus dangling off the cliff and the run through the raptor grass are still fantastic) set up by the dumbest of decisions by the 'smartest' of people (why the f*ck are you keeping a jacket with baby dino blood on it?). The last 1/3 turns into wrap it up slapstick which, besides the shot of the T-Rex roaring by moonlight at the skyline, you could practically hear Spielberg saying 'let's just get this sh*t over with'. There's a good movie in there somewhere, but it's a lot of stupid to get through first.

All of which is better than laser pointer dinos and talking raptors and stealth shield super dinos.
