Jurassic Park (and to a slightly lesser extent the second book) are both shining examples of books that just didn't translate well in their move to the big screen. Jurassic Park was a great book ... which got turned into a summer blockbuster designed to sell toys to kids.
Books ... just don't translate well to movies. I know this isn't exactly an original thought but even a book that actually read as if you were watching a movie ... The Da Vinci Code ... turned into a mediocre film.
