Okay so I am watching to movie really right now to see the main character in the game, Dr. Gerry Harding and well to say they look a little different... 
 

" @Daveyo520: what the fuck game are you talking about?! "

Holy damn. How have I not heard about this?! Jurassic Park is probably one of my favorite movie trilogies out there, right next to old school Star Wars.  Read both books, love this shit. I'm pumped now. Thank you sir

YOU NEVER GOT THE MEMO!?!?!? "

The movie is suppose to be taken lightly in general though, given the fact that Dr. Harding's role is incredibly minor there compared to the books.
 
But yes it's a bit unfortunate that they don't make him look a bit more like his movie counterpart. Though I suppose a mustache would have been enough in my book. 
 
In general I'm just really happy they decided to follow the story of Harding instead of some random "other guy" we've never heard of. I always did wonder what happened to this fella after he dropped off Dr. Sattler at the visitor's center.

" @PhatSeeJay: Sadly Malcolm doesn't live in that version :( "

Does it matter if they look slightly different?

Nah. But we all know that a good stache is vital for survival! "

I once read through an abridged version of the first Jurassic Park book, I remember there being a rocket launcher in it at some point too, and a waterfall part like in...2, was it?

" @Daveyo520: The second book sets up the story for the Lost World, but they use a ton of things from the second book for the Jurassic Park 3.  So basically, the second book was the foundation for both movies "

They obviously just couldn't get the rights.

But where did they get the idea for a T-Rex rampaging through the streets of San Diego? That was the most blatant deviation from source material I've ever seen... Until I saw Mario Bros. the Movie. "

that was absolutely rediculous.  i think they were running out of ideas and one of the dudes though "hey!  why dont we make this like king kong where a giant animal walks through the city streets?  itll be awesome!  i bet everybody in the world had a dream like this!"  yeah as soon as i saw the Mario movie on tv i just turned it off and laughed about how stupid that movie was "

Sounds like I'm picking up the game and the book.

When I first saw the movie it was before reading the books, and even then, I thought the San Diego incident was ridiculous.  After reading the book, I can't fathom why they included that. The book was good on its own, there was no need for that atrocious part.  But I will admit, I do like the mainland Jurassic Park idea. I thought it was an interesting little side thing.  "

That was all effing Spielberg. He knew it was the last Jurassic Park he was going to direct and he wanted to be the one to get the dinosaurs to the mainland. I lost a lot of respect for him after that movie. The Lost World book was really damn good and he basically said "Well, lets use some character and location names, and throw the rest out" It wasn't even close. I don't know what I hated more, the T-Rex getting to the mainland or Malcoms daughter killing a Raptor with a gymnastics routine.  Eff that movie. (can you tell i didn't like it?) "

Ah. is that why? Ok, it makes more sense now. Another thing, Malcolm's daughter. He didn't have a daughter. He hated kids, according to the books. The third movie was truer to The Lost World book than the movie of the same name. I wasn't aware that Spielberg was the one who screwed the movie over. It does make sense now though. You made your point very clear, sir. But I do have one question. Did you like the movie? "

Sorry for the bump. Need to kill the forum glitch in my Recently updated section.
