Have you only seen one film this year?

[Mr Cochese]

He’s never seen another film.

And this would still struggle to the best even if that were the case.

I saw it a few weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised in light of all the criticism it has received. The story was fairly strong and not too Ott. The Dinos were cool. The balance of humour to drama was just right. 

 

I was obviously a bit puzzled by the implications that Ian Malcolm was suggesting in the final scene but that didn't ruin the movie for me. The two Brits Spall and Jones made passable enough quintessential corporate baddies. 

Obviously wasn't as memorable as the original but then for me none of the sequels have been.

Finally saw this last night and my god was it shit. I originally gave it a 2/5 mainly because of the scale of things and the cgi but then I thought fuck it, its such a terrible film in every other way possible.

 

Jurassic World wasnt great, it was pretty dumb in places but was kind of a homage to Jurassic Park and it felt fun to be back in that world. This film however just went full dumb. It got dumber and dumber the more it went on and I lost count the amount of times I rolled my eyes or shook my head. So laughably shit.

Also I genuinly can't believe what they've done to the Raptors either. My daughter described Blue as a friendly dinosaur. RAPTORS? FRIENDLY?. I spent my early childhood being affraid of them, they are not cute and cuddly. Smh.

 

A list of everything dumb about with this film

 

Spoiler

- Claire's team that go to save the dinosaurs. Totally underqualified minus Owen. Zia and Franklin arent good characters either.

-  Zia pulling a gun on the mercs and is then all "If you shoot me that Raptor dies" like they pulled their guns first. She pulled the gun on them, of course they were gonna aim theirs at her.

- Claire and Franklin freak out about being stuck in the bunker and try everything to get the doors open only to then just use the ladder that was there all along when the dino turns up

- The dino that stalks Owen round the glass ball has such small arms I couldn't stop laughing at how silly it looked

- Owen surviving being engulffed in Volcanic ash

 

- A Raptor cries....CRIES

- The old country house that has a ready made dino storage facility on site.

- Toby Jones teeth

- Blue understanding what flammable gas is 

- The laser gun - if you're that close to someone to point a laser pointer you could just shoot them with a bullet

- The Indoraptor fake out and smile (a dinosaur SMILED) before chomping that guys arm off 

- A Jurasic Park film turning into a haunted house film

- Maisie being a clone

- Claire randomly turning up on the roof in time to save the day. Meaning with a huge hole in her leg she managed to go get the gun and get up onto the roof in just the right amount of time. Phew.

- Maisie releasing a load of dinosaurs on the population and environment. Many animals, ecosystems and people are going to die. Good work kid.

- The final T-rex shot of the film being in the trailer

 

- Everyone who died was a bad guy, there were no stakes what so ever for the films heroes. Apparantly there was backlash over the brutal death of the baby sitter in JW1 but I thought that was brave and showed the terror of the dinos being lose. Looks like they took that on board and had to "justify" everyones death....basically only killing off the nasty people.

 

- Finally, relating to the above, the Indoraptor was super smart and calculating when killing the bad guys but turned into an absolute moron, crashing into things and falling over everywhere against the heroes. It's just lazy writing.

 

1/5

1/5

 

Weirdly, all the above is the reason why I loved this film so much.

 

So I agree with all the above, but change the 1 to a 4.

If you didn't think this was one of the greatest shots in the history of cinema then you just plain don't deserve the joys this terrible movie has brought in to the world.

[Bucky]

This was a staggering pilenof bullshit wasn't it?  I mean, I love Chris Pratt, and I could watch him all day.  But 90% of his job was running right?  And nothing made sense.  And I stopped caring.  And how did Blue recover and shit?

 

Piffle.

No

[Strafe]

Total bullshit.

 

Friendly raptors? An auction. Do these people just turn up and have already built enclosures for dinosaurs they don’t even know they’re going to buy? 

 

Also, whatsherface hated dinosaurs in the first film and now, after nearly being eaten and undergoing surely the most traumatic experience of her life (and witnessing many people, including her colleagues), being eaten, she now loves dinosaurs?

 

Total rubbish. Apart from the vet who I love.

[Floyd]

Just watched this...

 

I remember when people thought The Lost World was bad. That's Oscar worthy compared to this. 

 

Who wrote it? It's terrible. My only saving grace is that I didn't spend any money.

I never got the Lost World hate. It only really goes down hill for me in the NYC part but the rest i quite like.

I loved that the old dude upstairs was completely unaware there was a dinosaur auction to Russian mafia going on downstairs.

Perfect

[stefcha]

Despite this being preposterous nonsense from start to finish, I quite enjoyed it. Except there's one bit that stands out even amongst all the rest of the stupidity that makes me think I must have missed something although I suspect the answer is probably "he just did". So how did

 

Spoiler

that nervous IT guy, after he was caught on the boat and somehow managed to be mistaken as a ship's hand and last seen going to set up some mooring ropes, how on earth did he then end up as a scientist in the secret underground dinosaur store (that presumably managed to be cavernously excavated at some point without anyone noticing a spot of drilling)?

 

[macosx]

I just switched this off halfway. Absolute rubbish. They made dinosaurs mundane and bit parts in a story; the wonder;  like the animals is extinct.

Some off-camera Mr Bean nonsense where he keeps getting mistaken for a member of various evil teams.

 

I’m telling you all, this is a multi-million dollar Hollywood movie with the plot of a 1960s British farce, it’s genius.

As much as I enjoy Toby Jones I can imagine Terry Thomas would've been absolutely cracking in that role, so it's a shame it wasn't able to be made 50 years ago.

I don't know for certain, but it's definitely a trend in hollywood. Seen the state of al paving these days. He can barely close his mouth.

 

So while I hope not, I fear so

 

Watching this again on Bluray I'm stunned that anyone with half a brain thought that they were Toby Jones actual teeth.

 

Next you'll be telling me that he had the Trump hairdo done as Elton style implants.

 

Twat.

[Alex W.]

Last night we managed to almost convince someone that the big reveal was going to be

 

Spoiler

that the kid is part-dinosaur

 

which started out as someone's absurd joke early on but is actually heavily foreshadowed by the movie if you pay attention. Was this actually the case in an earlier draft, or was the movie just written in a sloppy way where this stupid idea fits? We may never know.

The vet who says “I never thought I’d see a dinosaur”, even though she is trained as a dinosaur vet and there have been two dinosaur theme parks opened in her lifetime.

Dinosaur veterinary college is not very hands on and it is mostly turkeys and geese.

One of the many many dumb things about this film. It's like the writers had a competition to out dumb each other.

Did you ever play that game as a kid where you'd draw a head on a page, fold it, then pass it to someone who would draw a body without seeing the head, then they'd fold it and a third person would draw the legs.

Then you'd unfold the page and see the hilarious superhero ostritch donkey you'd drawn.

I think this script was written using similar rules.
