Also, I personally don't like most of the characters in the book. Hammond is the biggest asshole imaginable who deserved to die. He was more reprehensable than Nedry. I personally think, save for Malcom (And it could be due to the fact I can't stand Jeff Goldbloom), that everyone is a much better character in the movie.
So, I read the book, not a fan.
Though if they used more better dinosaurs (Deinonychus instead of Velociraptors, so on and so forth), most current theories, I wouldn't mind an update using the book characters, even though I don't care for them.
Either way, the humans aren't the draw for me.

I can see your points, but I do think that they could either set the movie in the 80s or they could modernize the setting, technology and dino info while keeping the characters truer to the source. Hammond was the main antagonist he wasn't meant to be a likable Santa Claus grandfather, he brought the kids for market research.
