I don't even care. Just give me some made up dinosaurs and some dumb white people to feed them and I'm good.
I had extremely low expectations based on what I read and it ended up being not quite as bad as I was expecting. I was expecting a 2 out of 10 and got a 3.5, maybe even a 4 because dinosaurs are cool.
have tickets for the new one with my son on the 2nd i should probably watch the last one as i have not seen it yet
Don't think this has much to do with the Pratt trilogy. Trailers make it seem there's something in the Dino DNA that could be groundbreaking for humans and the excuse to get to an island with awesome dinosaurs.
I liken the JP franchise to Jaws. The first one was a thrill ride but was so expertly crafted, and made time for scenes of humanity and quietness to breathe, it still felt like a true "film," and not just popcorn fluff. After that, it became a factory-produced franchise of fluff. Each installment was differed wildly in terms of quality, with some having a "dumb fun" charm while others were outright horrible, but none of them matched what the first one brought to the table, mostly because none of them were trying to.
Anecdote Corner: I sent my brother to the hospital because of this movie. Was doing some sick karate ninja moves on the sofa on a Saturday morning and accidently nailed him in the face and he had to go get stitches.
I’m cheering for the dinosaurs. Humans need to stop being Karen’s and leave them alone. That’s all they want. I empathize with the Dino’s.
Except Scarlett. Her character can live on the island and wear tank tops for a few sequels, at least.
How "scary" is it? My 8 and 11 y/o have seen all of the others and want to see this one. Previews look a little more intense.
my soon to be 6 year old was definitely scared in some moments but he enjoyed it and wants to watch it again
I took my five year old because he’s been dying to see it, he loves the original. He looked away a couple of times but he loved it
It was awful, fun, maddening, and somehow a decent movie, without some absurd decisions it’d be a solid movie?
My wife and I suspected the Spoiler Sad backstory scene and Mahershala Ali living decision were re-shoots cuz the tone seemed weird for both.
Just got out. This might be recency bias but it just might be my 2nd favorite after the original film.
I mean the pickings are slim. It's either that one or JPIII for best sequel. Lost World had moments, but was ultimately a bloated mess. JW is just kind of bland. The two after were just bad movies.
JPIII really needed William H. Macy's character to bring like 10 more henchmen so we could watch more deaths.
I liked JW except for the British nanny with the extended death scene. It was great from a brutality standpoint, but I still can't believe that made it into the final movie.
The maddening part is that it looked so good and the actors are trying really hard, and it could have been better in ways that feel very obvious.
The first two Jurassic World movies made a combined $3 billion worldwide, I believe, which has to be incredibly disheartening to anyone trying to make actually good movies out there. These things make so much money regardless of quality.
The first Jurassic world was good for what it was the second was an abomination and I didn’t even see the third
I threw the first Jurassic World on today and forgot a lot of the stuff in it. Completely forgot the D'Onofrio cartoon character who wanted to use raptors to defeat terrorism.
The first Jurassic World is about a wildly successful career minded woman who learns she should want children, it's got the same emotional arc as a Hallmark movie
I enjoyed the first Jurassic World despite the terrible logic used that allowed the big bad dinosaur to escape.
which was the jurassic world where these DINOSAURS were being auctioned off for like $10mm or something ridiculously cheap?
Seeing it at 4. Will enjoy the dinosaurs, will complain about the dumb storyline, and then will spend $20 to see the next one when it comes out in theaters too.
The body count was fine, but you also knew exactly who would and wouldn't die once the characters were all introduced the deaths didn't really mean anything.
