People are always going to compare the sequels to the original and the sequels will always come up short. That's no surprise really when you consider that the original movie was based on a novel written by a very well educated and talented writer. As good as the original movie was, when you compare it to the book it's the movie that comes up short.

Steve, that book was so packed with action set-pieces, they were still using ideas from it four films in.

The Lost World -- Little girl attacked by compys on the beach, Stark's death mimics Hammond's death-by-compy in the original novel, T-Rex tongue snaking out to find people hiding behind a waterfall.
Jurassic Park III -- River chase/boat fight, aviary attack.
Jurassic World -- Cliff leap. The concept of a camouflaged dinosaur appeared in the novel of The Lost World.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom -- Baby triceratops are seen, a sequence with Tim and Lex riding baby trikes was considered for Jurassic Park, never filmed.
