It's definitely true regarding JP3 that it was a different era. I remember just seeing JP3 on VHS at the store one day as a 10 year old kid and I thought "holy crap I didn't even know there was a third one!". I bought it and proceeded to watch it a lot over the next few years.
But looking at it through adult eyes I do think it has a charm to it. You still get a lot of practical dinosaurs and the story is tight. That movie is like 90 minutes which would be unheard of today. I feel like a reoccurring problem with the JW movies is that they feel the need to push these big ideas or bigger concepts into these movies when they don't really need them. The 'original new hybrid dino' has been the weakest element of each JW movie for me and lets not even get into the human cloning or giant grasshoppers. You would think a company who could pull off perfect human cloning would go "Screw this dinosaur project, the real money is in the human cloning".
