JP III is the second best in the series.
I agree, but then I've only seen Jurassic Park (1993) and Jurassic Park III (2001). 
Jeff Bond's FSM review for the latter opens with "You have to admire Don Davis' balls."
Read it for yourself on page 34:

JURASSIC WORLD II
1/10
Just awful. Worse than JPIII.
I don't know if I'd go that far, but I hear ya!!
Well, as stupid as JPIII was, and it was pretty stupid*, I wasn't bored. It held my attention. SO it was successful in that very important regard.
JW was awful from the start and had me looking at my watch less than 30 minutes in!
brm
*discussed at length in a previous JP thread

WINSTANLEY (1975) - 7/10
WINSTANLEY is low-budget British black-and-white period film made by historian and master cinema restorationist Kevin Brownlow, in collaboration with production designer Andrew Mollo. The film focuses on Gerrard Winstanley, an English Protestant religious reformer, political philosopher, and activist during the time of Oliver Cromwell. Winstanley and a group of impoverished peasants set up a commune on public lands. These "Diggers," as they were contemptuously called, are attacked both for trespassing and occupying land used to graze cattle. It’s a class confrontation that establishes an ongoing rhythm of persecution and defense.
The film is a study of primitive, rural communism as well as a commentary on the just-past era of hippies and free love, as the group members share ownership of what little goods they have and don't worry about who may have fathered any particular child who has been conceived. Brownlow and Mollo are able to recreate the squalor of the time, perhaps even aided by their lack of budget (it took the better part of a decade to raise funds for their feature) and without any color photography to "prettify" things.

DARKEST HOUR
6/10
By sheer coincidence I watched this a day after rewatching DUNKIRK- both of which conclude with Winnie's famous speech to the parliament-DH also features a short segment on the the homeland boat rescue)!

Dark Crimes is the single-worst film I've seen this year. COLOSSALLY boring and incoherent.
Worse than JPFK????!!!!!

Order of the Black Eagle
3.5 out of 10
A fairly entertaining bad Bond type rip-off.
