snowkatt: my inner child doesnt like dinosaurs

dont knock the 1956 americanised one its a good movie in its own right

darthspudius: The Americanised one gets a lot of unnecessary hate to be honest. I think the original Godzilla either version is a classic.
agreed

the american version is just as good as the original

Personally speaking I'll always take the original Japanese version but the american edition is just as fun and exciting.

Elmofongo: I like to say I never thought Jurassic Park 3 was actaully fine. Alot better than the Lost World imo.

I have no idea why people disliked it. I much prefer Sam Neill as a Protaginist.
avatar
tinyE: TOTALLY AGREE, 100%
If Jurassic World had Sam Neill I would be so much more interested in it. I may not be a fan of the original Jurassic Park, but I am definately a fan of Neill. His role in In the Mouth of Madness alone would be enough to buy my loyalty.

Elmofongo: Guardians of the Galaxy is a rehash of The Avengers. I should also mention its the Sci Fi film moviebob would have made.

(He is a HUGE Marvel fanboy its not even funny with his bias getting in the way, him prasiing that Lucy movie because Scarlett Johannsen is in it saying its the Black Widow movie never made)
I have already spoken at lenght about my dislike for GotG many times, so I will just leave this here, the only review I found that I fully agree with.

Breja: Honestly I liked Nostalgia Critic's To Boldly Flee much more than Guardians of the Galaxy. The interactions between Spoony as Turl and the Critic as Zod was priceless.

" I never thought Jurassic Park was actually fine"?

What they heck was I typing :P
k re-watched the trailer and... it looks stupid, for multiple reasons.

1) It looks fake.
Obviously. The more CGI you use, the more you can easily identify what's real and what isn't. Unnatural movements in what your brain is used to predicting based on physics simply make some things impossible. The best movies are usually more makeup than CGI, or mixing them so you keep your brain guessing what was physically there, and what wasn't.

2) Fast/Slow action differences
Multiple times i've seen humans acting and moving as fast as they can, and yet the monsters they are facing that are the big baddies are 3x faster than them, and yet somehow lose. Or they delay their action while the camera pans rather than taking advantage of the first opening/distraction. Stupid.

Not to mention the CGI monsters aren't really there so reacting to them no matter how well scripted the scene is, it isn't a proper depiction of how you'd react to something. One scene with 3 raptors in front of the guy makes me wonder why they don't all just jump on him, hold his arms down and start chomping. The original movie described them working in groups for hunting, but if he obviously have only two hands to fight off two with, what's to stop the third (middle)? Or one of them making a feign attack to expose his back or turn his head before snapping his head/neck off? Geez.

On the other hand martial artists are told by filming crews to slow down because they can't capture the footage, so kudos to those guys.

3) Returning Dinosaurs is impossible.
No literally it is. DNA can be retained for something like 6.8 million years, after that it's too degraded to salvage. Here's a video on the topic. Not to mention if you somehow succeeded, there might not be enough genetic diversity for them to breed. As awesome as the idea is, when you know stark reality it just doesn't matter...

4) Creating a new dinosaur?
What's the worst that can happen? OH yes: It can get crushed under it's own weight because bone density wouldn't be high enough, the muscle fibers could tear from the bones, couldn't get enough air in it's lungs, it's heart gives out since it's too small, doesn't know how to hunt and ends up either starving or having to be raised by another species so ends up thinking it's something else for at least 1-2 generations...

But seriously, if you got past all those and it could hunt and stuff... Why??? It's like making a new virus that ends up making zombies. It doesn't matter if it's an achievement or if it looks cool, it's just plain stupid. But guessing off hand that half the plot is based on the dinosaurs being hunted for sport, i don't know.

I guess it's a selling point for the movie mostly and they want to try and make something more alien and new to see even if it's probably just a T-Rex with a different coat of paint.

5) Tired horror theme/formula...
Too many horror movies in recent decades, and reusing old plot points, jump scares, music or saying 'you should be scared'. Just not very imaginative. it just...

I don't know. It just looks boring while trying to look thrilling to me. Also NOT seeing the danger was usually more fear inducing. Much like games, when you stat monsters and gods and stuff, you take away the mystery of what they are and how they work and what they are capable of...

It feels more like Resident Evil films where they are just using the name to sell it more than anything else.

You are criticizing a movie because something happens in it that is not actually possible?

Okay so that means you are a fan of.......ummmmmm......nothing. :P

Nope. Fellow fan here! Who doesn't like a personal raptor pack? :D

Also, here is the website for the park itself. It's pure gold:

in watching this trailer were the rapters that ran while he was on the motorcycle there to help him? were they the same ones he was doing the "dino" tamer act with?
I don't know. Seemed the first movie (and book) was all we needed. Everything since Lost World has been downhill, IMO. First book was really good, though. Highly recommended.
