Now that the novelty is gone, JP will have to rely on         solid storytelling again.

And I think TLW pulled that off tremendously, as well as JP itself.

True. But I'm sure that Jurassic Park would have been the same succes if the plot was sucky.

Doubtful.

Avatar didn't have a very good plot, but its special effects made it a succes.

I've never seen Avatar so I can't debate with you on that front.

If they focus on an original and cool storyline for JPIV, then it might be possible for it to really work. Thanks to the video game I think that it is possible to breathe new life into Jurassic Park, but for that success it needs imagination. The first movie had just that - imagination. Imagination can be achieved again for the fourth movie just as it has been achieved for the whole franchise.

JP is NOT overrated! It is a great movie with a potent message that still rings clear today - life will find a way. Don't underestimate the power of genetic engineering. And never, ever clone dinosaurs.

Ever.
