I saw Jurassic World last night at a drive in theatre and my god... It was amazing! (Still not as good as How to Train Your Dragon though...)

I like how it can be viewed as a stand alone movie as well as part of the series and they did a great job with the effects and dinosaurs!

If anyone has seen this movie what did you think?

I'm seeing the film tomorrow and I'm a huge JP fan. I'll definitely be posting my thoughts on it after I see it.

I don't understand how it was a horror film.

This was probably one of my favorite movies of 2105

It was good, and the cgi was okay, but I wished that they used more animatronics like the first movies. The only time I saw use of animatronics was when... (Spoilers)

The second movie was really lengthy to me and a bit... Extreme.

The first one still tops them all though.

I-....There's no plausible way anyone could have liked that movie....I must be dreaming. I'M DREAMING, RIGHT?
MAYBE JP3 NEVER HAPPENED, THE REX IS ALIVE AND GRANT NEVER WENT BACK FOR A COMPLETELY STUPID REASON SUCH AS MONEY, MAYBE HE DID MARRY ELLIE, MAYBE BILLY WAS NEVER REALLY, RAPTORS NEVER TALKED, ANIMATRONICS WERE USED MORE THAN CGI, MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, IT WAS ALL A DREAM....RIGHT?

I'm not allowed to like it, wth? I especially don't get a lot of the problems people have with the Spinosaurus because I can literally explain it's motives quite clearly.

I like many bad movies. You're allowed to like it, it just doesn't make it a good movie, you know that I'm sure.

Sess, in the first movie, the Rex had motive, it had been captured, locked in an exhibit for its entire life and now it's out and can exact revenge, it's ****ing starving. The Rex had so many encounters with the characters up close and personal, it even saves them in the end
In JP2 the Rex's motives make sense cuz of their babies.
Grant's and Ian's Motives make sense in 1 and 2, in 1 it's the promise of Dino's, in 2, it's to save Ian's gf, in 3 it's cuz two people who have been scamming dozens of people offer grant a bunch of one's and zero's on paper....What? 1 already was the promise of money, Grant goes against his own ****ing morals for money.
And Spino? He doesn't even interact with them, he's just there, the T-Rex was an antagonist, there are no antagonists in 3, it's just Raptors who want food, and Spino who is a monster, Rex was not a monster, it was an Animal, that explains its desires, Spino has no motivation other than eat and destroy, it snaps a Rex's neck, why? To piss off fans of the OG? JP3 the Spino is there and then it isn't, the end.
I can go on for paragraphs and paragraphs, hours as to why 3 is a bad movie
If you wanna present your reasons to liking it I'd love to hear them.

It's a good movie, imo. Definitely not the best, but I don't think it's "bad" either.

Anyways...

He needed the money badly, and some people go against their own morals all the time?

Spino wasn't "just there". When they landed on the island, he likely thought of them as a threat to him and his territory, which is why he attacked them.

Not only that, but they hit him with a ****ing PLANE for ****'s sake.

Would you be happy if you were just minding your own business and then suddenly a ****ing PLANE crashes into you? No? Didn't think so.

It's motivation was to rid his territory of the threat. T-Rex simply happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Granted it does seem like sort of a hit towards fans of the original movie, but when you really pay attention you'll notice that both animals are extremely territorial.

Both predators are at the top of their food-chain and they're not gonna sit down and have a nice cup of tea while watching Monty Python.

They're going to ****ing KILL each other, dude. I don't know how that's not obvious to you.

Why'd he snap the T-Rex's neck? It's called survival of the fittest, dude.

And when Spino continuously chases after the protagonists, it's simply because he still views them as a threat to him and his territory, which is normal for any animal.

Not only that, but since he's such a big animal, he'd likely have to have a big territory. Makes sense, right?

Okay, let's get things straight then

First movie Grant would never have gone against his morals, even if he needed the money, sure he accepted the money from Hammond but that's because there was no promise of danger, in 3 there is, money is no good if you're dead.

Spino is what...Like....More than forty feet tall? Something around that, thinking humans are a threat and chasing them around the island for 80 minutes is something it wouldn't do, it wouldn't just hunt them, it's like a Rex being afraid of Compsognathus, it wouldn't happen

Pretty sure they heard the thing, it chased them off, they got in the plane, and she literally ****ing jumps in front of the plane, it knew what it was doing, Spino is intelligent.

Threat? What.....What threat? The were no threat, even the Rex in 1 knew that, Rex was just hungry af, Spino was just hungry af aswell, but it doesn't make sense for it to be so hungry as to chase them for an hour an a half

Let me just tell you, that Spino kills the postergirl of the first two movies, snaps its ****ing neck, and doesn't even eat it (I'm pretty sure it doesn't, it's been awhile) That's....That's not really surviving, if she were so hungry, why not eat the rex? And when that movie was coming out, they advertised this huge fight with Spino and Rex and it last twenty seconds...Seriously? No doubt that a Spino would win cuz it's like, near half the size of a rex, but having the Spino kill the Rex? It made no sense, the rex didn't need to be there, did it? Why not kill a Carnotaurus instead? Oh yea, cuz JP3 wanted to piss off fans, they needed peeps to realize Spino was 'better' than Rex, but we didn't need that bull****

And Spino had an entire island, hell Spino's can ****ing swim, she could have gone anywhere, ANYWHERE, but she coincidentally keeps winding up with the humans and chasing them, She had the whole island.

Almost everyone says that it's a bad movie, it's coequally known (by critics, and most people in the fandom at least) for the most part that it's an awful JP movie. It's not as bad as say, the Star Wars prequels, or manos hand of fate, but it's not a good movie. Is it alright and watchable? Eh...Sure? But is it good? I wouldn't go that far personally.

yay, friendly arguments/debates

I just like JP3 because of the ending
I know it was a bad movie
I just like it
And I didn't really like JP2
I just didn't

I figured you'd try to pull the "they're small, so why would they be a threat?" card.

It doesn't matter that they're small, you're missing the point. Spino probably isn't used to humans being in his territory, so of course he'd feel threatened if something strange and unknown to him was walking around in his territory.

Also, did I forget to mention that they came in a plane??? He probably was scared of the plane too, not to mention that it ****ing HIT him, actually injuring him to a degree.

Of course he's gonna feel threatened, especially after that.

And it was trying to eat the one guy when he got hit, so it probably didn't really fully comprehend the fact that the plan was coming at it.

It was chasing them for the rest of the movie, not because of being hungry, but because it felt threatened and wanted the threat eliminated.

Animals do this all the time, just not to the same extent.

And as I said, Spino killing T-Rex was more about territory than being hungry. I do recall it taking a bite afterwards, though I'm not 100% certain on that.

Also, Spino's are technically bigger, just saying.

The whole point of that scene was more along the lines of the fact that the T-Rex isn't really the "great king of the dinosaurs" as we were taught to believe growing up prior to the film.

They're have been plenty of bigger predatory dinosaurs discovered since the first film that would easily kill T-Rex, including Spino.

I'm not really gonna deny that they were trying to prove a point with the whole battle, but at the same time it made sense to use T-Rex rather then another, lesser-known dinosaur.

The battle was short, I'll give you that, but it was meant to be "epic" for a lack of better words.
What better way to do that then pit the iconic T-Rex against the 3rd movie's own representative?

And I shouldn't have to explain the territorial thing again, right?

And stop acting like I can't like the movie, jesus ****. If I think it's good, then I'm allowed to. Doesn't matter if you, or anyone else for that matter, disagrees.

Do you see me ****ting all over JP1? No? Didn't think so. It's obviously a lot better than JP3 anyways, so you won't see me arguing with you on that.

Reveal Spoiler

I also liked the Star Wars prequels, though I admit that EP1 isn't all that great aside from a few things I did like about it. *shrug*

Wow...I don't like the fact you think it's a 'card' How is that a 'card'? It was a point I was trying to make, I'm not going to say your points are **** wtf

It seems you're getting hostile, but I was just trying to have a friendly debate wtf, you can't convince me otherwise and I can't convince you.

I'd continue debating my points but it seems you don't enjoy it.

I am aware to why the battle happened, but not as to WHY, if that makes any sense

I never said you couldn't like this movie tho, I absolutely LOVE the first Ninja Turtles move from the 90's but it's a bad movie, just because movie is bad doesn't mean it isn't....Good, na'mean?

You can say it's good...Can i not say it's bad?

I could debate for much longer, trying to disprove your points and prove mine, and you might be able to do the same, but I'll stop cuz I don't think this is going to go anywhere tbh

Quote: Sesshomaru75

Then let's agree to disagree and leave it at that, shall we?

If I like something, cool. If you don't like something, that's cool too.

Doesn't mean you have to act like you're bewildered because I just happen to enjoy something you don't, though.

I don't HAVE to....I'm jk

That's who I am, I am incredibly passionate about things I like, and don't like. That's just who I am.

That's...That's like comparing an apple to an orange, sure, they're both fruits...But they aren't the same fruit.
It's not going to be better than the OG, that's to be expected, also nostalgia

Eh, that's like saying that Hell's Kitchen season 1 is better than season's 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12 and 13. The latter of which are better, but because season 1 was the OG, it's the best. I like HK1, but there's better seasons after it.

JCW knows what's up

The reviews I've seen so far are really mixed. Several sources I've read are giving it like 8 out of 10 whilst several others are giving it like 4 out of 10. I'm most likely gonna see it with my friends when schools out on the 24th, so then I can actually decide how I feel on it. Plus... dinosaurs.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I plan to. It seems like a major step up from the other movies. I'm sure I will be impressed when I see it.

Well I haven't seen it but it seems, at the most basic level, like a redux of the original Jurassic Park. Sure the details may be a bit different, but on the surface the two movies seem eerily identical to one another. <.<;

I just got back, and I thought it was good. I had just watched Jurassic Park last night, and I felt like they were similar enough in most aspects that you could tell they were of the same movie series, yet separate enough that it didn't feel like it was just a remake. The movie was definitely a roller coaster of emotions, with some, IMO, pretty sad scenes mixed in with the action. Chris Pratt's character was bada**, and for once, wasn't the one making all the jokes, which was revitalizing if you look at all the roles he has played in the past. The relationship between the brothers was endearing, and honestly pretty adorable at times(although the youngest one really needs a haircut). It did a really good job at making you hate the bad guys(not the dinosaur). It's not my favorite movie of 2015, but it was still pretty good. I'd put it in my Top 10 favorites of the year. Slightly spoiler-y sentiment upcoming:

Just... Wow... Debates! Am a right?

But jeeze they were some intense arguments...

Here is how I view them

1. Jurassic park (obviously)
2. Jurassic World
3. Jurassic park 3
4. The lost world: Jurassic park

I do like 3 though. Just cuz it's on the island and... Dinosaurs

JP2 has a T-Rex in new york.....Already Lost World is better than ****ty 3 in that regard

Eh, I thought it just stupid to even think of bringing Rex into civilisations (though it was stupid to create dinosaurs in the first place...). I don't know, the second never really took my interest

You do realize these aren't works of non-fiction?
No one actually brought a t rex into new york
of course it's stupid, who gives a ****, it didn't actually happen.
WAT

this may seem hostile but I'm just very perplexed with your reasoning being 'because it was stupid'

I do agree bringing the rex there was stupid tho
And I can understand your reasoning, I mean, lost world was kinda boring in a lot of ways, plus the kcikng raptor scene

"Waah, T-Rex died in JP3! Waah, I'm mad because muh T-Rex representation."

That's what you sound like right now and it's annoying.

I'm...Annoying cuz I gave an opinion? Wut.

I never said anything about the T-rex dying in that post, I implied that the fact 3 downgrades environments from NYC to an island is kinda stupid.

I thought you were the one who said you can like the things you like and so can I and vice versa...But now you're kinda going back on that.

I'm not trying to start any fights but it seems to be you want to start one.

Also you're kind of being childish to mock me for sharing opinions...

The T-rex dying isn't the epitome of awfulness in JP3 in my opinion, I never stated it was, so i'm not sure why you decided to bring that up tbh

You must really love debates

Your saying that I believe it ACTUALLY happened? Of course not! Now I haven't seen this movie in five years but I think the plot was a little bit... Meh. My arguments may not be 'reasonable' but I think lost world could have been better.

You're annoying because you keep saying "JP3 sucks". It's fine if you don't like it, but stop being such an ass about it.

But I'm not?

Someone brought up something relevant to my dislike of JP3 and I brought it up, that's not a bad thing. And you aren't obliged to read my comments, if you think I'm an ass you can just skip what I'm saying. Nothing I'm saying is to offend anyone. Maybe let me say what I say.

Nah, I was just being grumpy, sorry bout dat

I completely agree with you.

You probably didn't enjoy the Rex scene due to the longness, most people didn't
There were a lot of stupid things in JP2, I understand your calling it dull. But there were some things I liked. Motivation for one.

Maybe it was the length. I wish I could have liked them all the same, but there are some things the first had that the others didn't.

One of the big reasons people didn't like 3 was due to Steven Spielberg not being involved, also the fact it wasn't based off one of the books like the first two movies.

I see. Well, if a series sells well they are bound to continue the franchise. It just happens like that. Money...
