It's no secret that the first film is my alltime favourite film, and while I agree with you that it succeeds on that level, it wouldn't have that position in my life unless it provided other things beyond that too, primarily an exercise in how we experience film, cognitively (more precisely, the distribution of setpieces -- awe & wonder alternating with suspense pieces -- as well as the underrated aspect of PLACE and MOOD).
Indeed, that's why I said, "except perhaps for the first movie". That one stands out above the others.
I have no comment on the Giacchino efforts (you probably know what I think of them, given my great distaste for his work in general), but as I said -- I think Davis' score for III has a lot of stuff going for it.
You not liking Giacchino somehow rings a bell, though I admit I did not have it on my mind when I mentioned him. I like Giacchino's scores quite a bit. But I am a big fan of Don Davis (all the MATRIX scores are favorites of mine), so I find it all of sudden irksome that I don't actually have JURASSIC PARK III.
