User:John Alfred Hammond, CEO

I've been a Jurassic Park fan for as long as I can remember. First read the novel with my father when I was in 3rd Grade, and loved it. It was like reliving my favorite movie in an even more extraordinary way. More detail, more depth, and overall, more storyline. As my username suggests, my favorite character in the franchise is John Hammond. I liked the novel's version of Hammond better; "Hammond was flamboyant, a born showman." as Crichton describes him. Crichton even says ''"I really wanted to do the 'Dark-Side' of Walt Disney... And well, Steven is more forgiving than me...". ''Though he was ment to be the antagonist of the novel, I still consider him the best character in the series. Also, I've always pictured him in apperance to Richard Attenborough, and I feel the film portrayed him fantastically. I know nearly everything to do with this franchise, and consider myself a true expert.
