4. No Idiotic Supporting Characters
You know what I really hated about Jurassic Park III? All the unnecessary supporting characters, but most of all, Billy
freaking Brennan, Alan Grant's moronic assistant who steals two eggs from the raptor's nest mid-way through the film, which is essentially the cause for them being stalked by the raptors for so much of the film. Grant is naturally hella pissed, and when it seemed that Billy had fallen to his death, I was overjoyed. But alas, Joe Johnston had other plans, apparently believing that we actually
liked Billy, when in fact, I was hoping we'd get to see his brains being nibbled on by a raptor at the foot of the river he fell into. Instead, Billy turns up alive at the very end of the film and survives the whole ordeal. If the series ever had a Jar Jar Binks, it is unquestionably this colossal douche-bag. Hopefully with the screenwriters behind the surprisingly great Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, at the helm, there will be a focus on likeable, interesting characters rather than destestably idiotic ones.
