I only made it through 30 minutes of Fallen Kingdom, so fundamentally it must be worse than JPIII which I've seen several times.

Other than that, I can't imagine a sane person disagreeing.

There's probably a lot of variation in what sequel people consider least bad

Jurassic Park > Fallen Kingdom > Jurassic World > Lost World > JPIII

Fallen Kingdom has the best cast and best use of dinosaurs outside of the first movie. It has some crazy ideas which are divisive for a lot of people, but it feels like a return to form if you following the pacing and characterization rather than the questionable content.

Jurassic World was fun on its initial viewing, mostly due to the two protagonists, but it doesn't hold up on repeat showings. Too much screentime is eaten up by that silly-looking zombie dinosaur and nothing really happens until the fight at the end.

The Lost World over-exposed the tyrannosaurus at the expense of other dinosaurs. It further robbed the T.rex of its power by having it unceremoniously shot and captured by Roland. The cast is also lacking with only one memorable new addition. There are some good moments, but the filmmakers were really phoning it in.

JPIII... When you give Barney the Dinosaur a cameo in earnest, there is no potential for your film to be good. Add in a talking dream raptor, a velociraptor hostage negotiation (which isn't a dream), and an uninteresting successor to the tyrannosaurs and you're in for a bad time. There's a certain spoiler that makes me want to flip over a table. Let's just say I've waited nearly two decades for a certain rematch and, no, shattering a skeleton doesn't count.

On the plus side, the original is great. I've seen it six times on the silver screen alone. It never gets old. Not ever.
