Jurassic World Eats Box Office Records!

They hadn't released the new dinosaur yet. I guess the idea was that it wasn't full-grown yet

 

Just fuckin' with ya.

 

I have to say though that the scene where Chris Pratt gets on his motorcycle with four raptors running alongside him in the hunt for the Indominus....KICKED ASS!! Badass scene! The most badass scene in the entire franchise without a doubt.

 

Yes but.....



* SPOILER *


...the Indominus can change skin texture and colour like a cuttlefish, suppress its heat signature, has long powerful and useful forelimbs and is as smart as a Raptor. Indominus Rex KICKS ASS!!

 

He said movies.

 

Magic Kingdom is based on Disney Movies. :nana:

 

:: OK sorry. Got me all defensive there

 

Fair point. I might go and see it on monday, the clips look pretty good.

 

Did you get tickets for Stanhope yet? You better not miss that and yet go to see some Hollywood bullshit. :nono:

 

Jurassic World Best reboot of any franchise since 'Star Trek'. All the previous films, including the first one, promised us a 'Jurassic park' that never delivered as the damned park was a disaster before it even opened. In this one, finally we get the park attraction we always hoped for and the obligatory, predictable ensuing 'all-hell-broke-loose' scenario. I enjoyed the park attractions as much as the film's little boy and the action scenes were competent enough to keep me interested. Chris Pratt again demonstrated leading man qualities as the most badass 'Jurassic' hero to date. Bryce Dallas Howard was also very good as the yuppie aunt who gets progressively sexier as her clothing gets skimpier and sweaty (sorry for the chauvinistic comment, but her boobs got me really distracted). The Indominus Rex was an effective killing machine, and got its place among the franchise most fearsome villain dinos. To me the weakest point was the hard to swallow 'raptors are our allies' sequence. I simply couldn't swallow it. Also while fun, the pterodactyls attack sequence wasn't nearly as scary as the one in 'Jurassic Park III' where one the characters gets viciously devoured in a creek. But these are minor flaws in an otherwise enjoyable film. 8/10

 

^^^^the only disaster in the park...was with those fucking BIRDS....the Indominus Rex nor the Raptors attacked visitors...that sequence was shit....other than the babysitter getting tossed around....and the Brachiosaurus scene(the pic on ur post)...shit 2...director should've show the rex attacking the branch...s

 

It wasn't a reboot, it just took place several years after the original. There were references made to John Hammond and even some equipment from the original film showed up. I also don't remember a Pterodactyl viciously devouring anyone in a creek in JP3. And for the record the dumbest part of this film was that bitch happily, willingly running off to free a T-Rex and getting it to follow her all with the sure-fire knowledge that it wouldn't catch and eat her first. The only reason that plan worked was because it was in the script.

 

We all get that the movie as a whole is fake. I get that. However they can't start going through all these explanations of why stuff is how it is in the film then just get lazy at the end and have some dumbass shit work out just because. I mean yeah, you can get away with it but it brings the movie down and really detracts from the ending.

 

Depends on the viewer. If the viewer is cool with watching a normal apex predator who lives and thrives purely off of instinct, suddenly forego those instincts, turn down a free meal and turn into a "hero" just to wrap up a nice little ending, then that is on you.

SPOILERS

I mean if you're at a zoo and a moose starts attacking your mom, would you go free a lion and have it chase you so you can lead it to kill the moose? Of course not, because that is fucking ridiculous, and yet that is pretty much what they did to end the movie. They brought back the T-Rex and made him some king of the monsters kind of hero. I never said the ending bothered me because it didn't, but it was clearly the dumbest part of the movie.

 

I like that. And like, she knew he would be full because she was actually the one who set up the feeding schedule. Good work AntAKnee.

 

I agree with pound for pound, silly scene with the girl and the T-Rex. Surely they could have come up with something more believable? Number one: the girl was NOT outrunning a T-Rex for that distance.... T-Rex runs as fast as a car. Secondly, why would the T-Rex just follow the flare when the woman was herself moving...and was more obviously a fat juicy meal. T-Rex would have just chomped her and then decided if he (or she) wanted to tangle with the Indominus.

 

The training the raptors part is a BIG reason Jurassic World can't compare to the first.

The raptors in the original movie were the ultimate dino villains. By far the best villains of any movie in the franchise. To turn them into pet dogs in this one lost the movie some points.

 

Has nothing to do with what they're capable of. It just looked "cheesy".

 

To me that scene of Owen (Chris Pratt) riding his bike next to the raptors was completely dumb. Heck, even my domestic cat when I start running next to him, he chases me, catches my leg and BITES. It is in his nature as a hunter and he fucking loves me! I was expecting one of the raptors to at least jump on him and knock him out of the bike and he had to be rescued by one of the mercenaries that would have to shoot down the attacking raptor.

 

When a franchise is revived after many years of hiatus is considered a reboot. This one wasn't called 'Jurassic Park 4' for a reason. In fact it tries to pretend that part 2 & 3 never happened. About the Pterodactyl attack in JP3, it was a river, not creek, my bad.

So Godfather 3 was a reboot? Indiana Jones 4? Rocky Balboa (wasn't called "Rocky 6" either)?

It was a sequel.

 

Examples of reboots are:

The Incredible Hulk
Man of Steel
Godzilla 2014
The Amazing Spiderman


A reboot is a RESET of events, not a film that follows on in the sequence.
