Honestly the movie should have keeped Hammond as the greedy bad guy intead of a good dude who makes a mistake
They did make him way too quaint and charming instead of casting/directing him as a sleezy dipshit, and it's way too easy to sympathize with him after the whole "I just wanted everyone to see cool dinos and be happy" dialogue.
Not just that, but the majority of the park's troubles seem to really be that he hired ONE programmer to do it AND he skimped on that guy's salary.
Yeah I agree with that they don't seal the deal in the end
Honestly I prefer Hammond as a well meaning grandpa.
Hammond in the film is kinda a stand-in for Spielberg himself, the entire flea circus monologue is Spielberg lamenting about his role in the entertainment industry and whether he did more harm than good in it.
To me it just reinforces that the problems with Jurassic Park were systemic. It was doomed to fail no matter how well meaning the creator. The problem isn’t the individuals, it’s capitalism.
