Jurassic Park/World

Jurassic World was pretty stupid. I have no intention of seeing the latest one in theaters.

I saw one on the TV last week or so with Bryce Dallas Howard.

Boy, that bitch can’t act and the whole movie was a stinkeroo!

Don’t get sick of it yet. This Christmas comes the release of Jurassic Park: Galaxy. And then next summer sees the release of Jurassic Park: Universe. There are so many stories to tell about rampaging CGI dinosaurs that can only be stopped by Chris Pratt and Ron Howard’s daughter!

The first / vintage Jurassic Park from 1990-something was the best of the lot.

Downhill from there ... to the extent that both Chris Pratt and Bryce Whatshername should have been eaten by the first raptor who saw them.

R4 I liked the first one too. I'm a little bit ashamed to say I got goosebumps when I saw that brontosaurus with Laura Dern. The last one I saw was III I think and Tea Leoni was so shrill and awful I could barely sit through it. That was it for me.

I love them! The first one will always be the best, but they're fun and entertaining.

Sick of it. Sick of superheroes. Sick of Star Wars. On and on.

I used to be a big scifi/genre nerd. But everything has been run into the ground so I'm branching out.

I'll add the new Doctor Who to that list. Jumped the shark by making The Doctor female. No thanks. Buh-bye.

At least with Star Wars, there is an ongoing story to tell—new people having new adventures. But Jurassic Park? “The dinosaurs are rampaging! Again! And we have to stop them! Again!”

Will people EVER get sick of seeing the same movie over and over and over? I guess not since people still pay every year to see Peter Parker get bitten by a radioactive spider. Bizarre.

I just saw it and it's bad. REALLY BAD.

I'm a mega-fan with really low standards and even I would rather be sucking farts out of dead seagulls than rewatching it.

Star Wars, new stories? Surly you jest.

I've never seen a movie with the word "Jurassic" in the title.

I'm tired of Trump lover Chris Pratt.

SPOILERS***** But this review basically sums everything up exactly. 1 1/2 stars.

Am I imagining a preview where our heroes befriend a velociraptor or learn to use it as a weapon? Because that sounds like a parody at this point.

...Or auction them off to international arms dealers...? Surely they wouldn't do THAT! Because that would be ridiculous and lame.

Where's the "Chris Pratt is set for life!" troll?

Jurassic World was strange where it was largely a mindless action movie where everything was treated like it was a cartoon -- almost seeming like it was satirizing things at times - Bryce running around in heels etc., then it would have this horrible scene of how these dinosaurs were being slaughtered. It is like every once in awhile it felt it needed to pay homage to the dark themes of the original book and then would go right back to 80's style action-adventure. The dinosaurs were legitimately more sympathetic in the movie, so you ended up rooting for the humans to be the ones squashed. It also had the long death of the kid's innocent nanny that was played for laughs which was a bit disconcerting.

The first movie was pretty decent, largely because it was based on a tightly written book (which was much darker in tone) and at the time seeing the dinosaurs with the modern special effects was still novel. I think the special effects have also aged pretty well, because it was more models and animatronics and before the days when filmmakers over-relied on CGI.

In the previous film, why did BDH have so many scenes driving back and forth to locations in her car, shrieking on her phone?

It was kind of stupid. "I'm going here! Wait, now I'm going here! Oops! I'm going back there!"

Shocked that the film is inspiring so little discussion online. It's making a lot of money but I don't get the sense that people are really excited about.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, and aint no fan of these movies...pratt is HOT

I saw it today and really enjoyed it!

Lots of parallels with the first two Jurassic Park films, like the Pachy causing a ruckus for the bad guys.

BDH was far less atrocious than she was in the previous movie.

Chris Pratt... Holy Fuck, is he just the hottest man on Earth??? The WORLD!

I really try to be disgusted by him because of his psychotic Xtian leanings but he is the perfect man.

The camera really loved him this time, too. It was like a Chris Pratt pictorial, showcasing all of his sexy features, including his rock hard ass in those tight jeans.

This movie was exciting and the dinosaurs looked very realistic and cool.

And Chris Pratt cemented his place as Hottest Box Office Draw.

I checked my watch. A lot. It was dull.

I am with R20/R21: Good *popcorn movie* if you're not expecting much. However, the first movie is still the best, by far.

THOUGHT I WAS

BUT LOVED THIS ONE

VERY FUN!!!!

GOOD POT MOVIE...YEA

R21 = Chris Pratt, fanning his own smoke.

Oh, and the Pinkett-Smith spawn in it is a fucking queen.

Chris Pratt is the Ultimate Perfect Man!

No one else comes close!

No wonder these lizards went extinct they can't even catch my fat white racist ass.

They are summer popcorn movies just like the Marvel superhero and Star Wars films. They aren't meant to be anything more than mindless fun entertainment and they do it well. If you don't like it then don't go. Nobody is forcing you to watch.

“Fallen Kingdom” is much better than “Jurassic World” because the Bryce Dallas Howard character is much less annoying and the climax feels at least a little different from the previous movies. It’s more of a haunted house movie, and Bayona is a lot more skilled than Trevorrow.

But it still can’t overcome the fact that these movies always hit the same notes (the humans are saved by a dinosaur that attacks the dinosaur that’s about to attack them!), and they’ve never been able to make characters as interesting as Jeff Goldblum’s and Richard Attenborough’s, who weren’t even that memorable in 1993.

r21 Chris Pratt is not a "Hot Box Office Draw". He is part of franchises.

He has not yet opened a movie on his own without an established franchise (Marvel, Jurassic)

Chris Pratt hates the gays. Don't forget that.

Yes OP as sick as I am about all those Spiderman-Batman-Superman-Antman-Hulk-Planet of the Apes-X-Men, etc movies

I've recently tried to view some of the old Spielberg movies. - Jaws, Indiana Jones, E.T...I cannot believe how bland and by the numbers his movies are...the generic music, the characters, the predictability of the storyline...and yet he is, or at least he was, considered one of the greatest American moviemaker. And how many times does he need to make the same movie over and over again ?

Those movies are made for kids...they are fine if you're 14 but some of you guys should try to expand your horizon a bit...

One redeeming thing about the Jurassic franchise, R33, is that there have only been five over the past quarter of a century. There have been five Marvel movies just in the past year. Shame that only one of the dinosaur movies was any good.

R34, Spielberg’s movie starts haven’t aged well. They’re very suburban and conventional, and only some of the Indiana Jones movies really hold up for me. “E.T. the Extraterrestrial” is mostly unbearable; everyone remembers the iconic bike scene and the healing finger, but forgets the dumb kid’s jokes that make up ninety percent of the movie.

I was rooting for the dinosaurs to eat everyone (not just the bad guys). Maybe next time.

The little cloned girl does a few scenes completely mirroring the first movie where Lexi screams at the dinosaurs.

Where has Chris Pratt said he hates gays/gay marriage? Receipts, please. Not generic "Rethug" crap. Receipts.

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one. Dinosaurs now running around a house, on top of the roof, entering bedrooms?? What's next, dinosaurs in outer space??

Yes R39 but with multi racial gender fluid dinosaurs!
