Alchemical Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm a big fan of the og Jurassic Park and as a kid I was quite the dino fiend. The long awaited -true- sequel releases in a little over a week. How do you guys feel about it? Will it disappoint? Live up to potential? Or do you just want to see dinosaurs on the big screen again, no matter the quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Think this will be much better than JP3. One thing that bothers me is how they are so effing stupid to breed a new, more vicious dino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemical Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Think this will be much better than JP3. One thing that bothers me is how they are so effing stupid to breed a new, more vicious dino Well from what I've gathered the park has been up and running for a decade or so and interest has dwindled, so they cooked up a new dino in the lab to reinvigorate interest? Whatever. As long as I get to see the original T-Rex take down this Frankenstein's monster, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 In my opinion, the last great monster movie was King Kong in 2005. Since then...there have good ones, but with JP4, I truly have confidence this one could match the original novel, never mind the films, based on the inventiveness alone. Something new based on something old. This doesn't strike as a lazy retread as much as it is a genius reboot in the form of a sequel (phew...we managed to escape the dreaded remake!).

Relayer2112 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Jeff Goldblum is fine, but is only appropriate for a certain type of role. The character he's playing has to be slightly insane or Goldblum is useless. Other than that, Jurassic World will suck. Some will love it, I'll hate it. It will be endless action sequences strung together by crappy dialogue. I had the same problem with Mad Max which was just a 2 1/2 hour car chase. The special effects and stunts were great, but I need a little more than that at my advanced age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly agree: special effects are soulless when all we see is quick editing and CGI. And characters are useless...to much time spent making heroes PC or ultra damaged. To be honest, I haven't loved going to the cinema for years now. Marvel has ruined it a lot, rarely are event movies serious dramas, and when they are, they are still missing something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
