Considering the terribleness of the second one and how it basically left nothing to build a third movie off of. I mean JPIII at-least had a plot and a decent premise...it could have been a decent narrative trilogy if The Lost World wasn't such an utter mess.

For a notional comparison, conceptualize George Lucas rewriting The Two Towers and how that would have destroyed any viable narrative arc through the other two books of LotR.
