They did it. I don't know how but they did it. I screamed, I squirmed in my seat, my heart was freaking pumping, dear god they did it!

[QUOTE=Panda Jerk;47936170][sp] Anyone else felt horrible how that lady with cell phone die, I genuinely felt bad after watching that.[/sp][/QUOTE]
I think that was the point of the scene, to really hammer in how fucked up shit was. [Sp]It wasn't like Hoskins, where you knew it was coming and cheered for it.[/sp]
[QUOTE=BanthaFodder;47055278]How much you wanna bet that when the movie gets released, the Park Cam is gonna show a bunch of people getting eaten by dinosaurs before the feed cuts out?[/QUOTE]

Called it.
The facebook page is responding to complaints in-character. The marketing team deserves a high-five.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE HYPE WAS REAL

rip in piece Jimmy Fallon
Mosasaur is da real mvp, I hope somebody figures out how to feed her while the park gets abandoned
THE TYRANNOSAUR HAD THE SCARS ON ITS NECK FROM THE END OF THE FIRST MOVIE I KNOW PEOPLE NOTICED THAT IN THE ADVERTISING LIKE 5 MONTHS AGO BUT FUCK I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH[/sp]
Was the bit where the Indominus wrecks the first security team supposed to be referencing Aliens? It felt like that to me, but I barely remember anything from that movie.
Goddamn I enjoyed this movie to hell! I expected to blow it off as mediocre. Boy was I wrong.
The only moment where I scratched my head was: wouldn't Claire have[sp]gotten eaten when she was luring the t-rex to the i-rex? Surely she couldn't have outrun it and it wasn't established how hungry the t-rex was.[/sp]
[sp]Then again I'm probably used to carnivore dinosaurs eating humans when there's really no reason why they would. Maybe it was just curious about the flare and wasn't interested in her or something.[/sp]
Oh well, just me nitpicking.
This movie is absolutely 2nd only to the first, I fucking LOVED IT.
I'm so excited to watch the movie!!
I just bought the lego jurassic world game since it was going for 24.00!
How's chris pratts character?
Who the fuck thought it was okay to [sp]spend two minutes torturing that secretary lady with flying dinosaurs, and then show an elongated shot of her flailing and getting crushed by the crocodile thing?[/sp]

[sp]There were too many ridiculously gruesome and horrible deaths for random nameless characters.[/sp]

[sp]It's the really extended deaths that really put the terror into picture. There was a little part of me that thinks she deserved it for being so fucking ignorant to the kids.[/sp]
[sp]I hated Hoskins so much, like in the I'm supposed to. When Owen punches him square in the jaw I want to cheer. His death at the end was also pretty satisfying since I absolutely hated him.[/sp]
[sp]Did anyone think Masrani's death was just really abrupt? I liked him as an analogue to Hammond and felt he could've been just a bit more present. He just dies in a crash that thats it for him.[/sp]
I seem to be in the minority here, but quite frankly I think that was the worst movie I've seen in a long time. As others have said, the cliches are in overdrive, I couldn't believe how many tropes it overused. [sp]The premise of Chris Pratt's character was just too much for me to swallow, he's some uber masculine ex-navy seal, a man so 'badass' that he rides a motorbike as the 'alpha' in a hunting pack of velociraptors, with a legit lever action rifle strapped to his back. If there's a better example of rule of cool overriding common sense, I haven't seen it.
Bryce Dallas Howard's character was interesting, but I found her overbearing sister unbearable. Just because the mother was going through divorce and didn't have time for her children, 'Aunt Claire' has to ignore her actually really impressive career to care for them. Like what? You literally sent your kids to her WORKPLACE. I know that it's fun for the kids (or kid rather), but it's her job to run the park; if you wanted a 'family weekend' (which reminds me of the stupid crying guilt trip scene), maybe you should have arranged for them to go somewhere where Claire doesn't actually have to do her job as well as be a surrogate mother for the kids. Then she's all, it's not a matter of if you have kids, it's a matter of when! You're a woman, you have to want kids, what kind of horrible person are you if you don't?!
She's the kind of person I despise in real life, and maybe that was intentional characterisation, but if it was, it only served to say to me, this woman is shit, don't like her.
And then you have the stupid bloody kids. I swear to god, Jurassic Park never learns its lesson, stop showing me annoying child actors miraculously avoiding death for hours at a time. It's irritating, and as bad as some people think the CEO/park owner/helicopter man was, I would rather he take the children's place in the plot. We get it, one of them is a teenager who wants to leave home and pops a boner at every girl he sees, we don't need five identical scenes of nerd brother being a nerd and teen brother eyebanging a girl awkwardly to understand such simple, overdone characters.
Don't even get me started on the raptor just showing up to finish off the villain so the protagonist doesn't have to dirty his hands, or the fact that a bunch of wild animals worked together to kill the 'evil' animal at the end. Honestly, there were some good moments in this film, but this was the first time that I sat and realised I was watching one of those notoriously 'bad' films that must have been at the cinema at one point. It's extreme stupidity took me out of the experience, and it's attempts to be self aware (hey look that female character has a boyfriend, they're not going to suddenly kiss and become lovers at all), fell completely flat.[/sp]

Looks pretty intense and interesting for 3D version. Going to see this movie soon.
I need a plushie of Blue right now.
The raptors are the real miracle workers of Jurassic Park.
Oh my god this movie. I liked it so much more than I was ever expecting.
[sp]Everyone in the theater cheered when the Rex made it's entrance through the skeleton, it was fantastic[/sp]

[sp]She's the same Rex from the first park, I get the feeling she remembers exactly what the flare means.[/sp]
Saw with a few friends today, was absolutely incredible just for the latter portion alone.
The symbolism with [sp]Rexy and the Spinosaurus skeleton.[/sp] I appreciate it soooooo hard.
Besides the dinos it was lame. Please give the nineties their horrible caricature-fueled script back thanks
just got back from seeing it, my thoughts
[sp]they really relied on some shark-jumping moments a few too many times for this to work. the d-rex was literally unstoppable except for fucking jaws at the end lol. but imo that's the problem the sequels had, they could never end the same way the original did because they were trying to outdo each other. basically, the original film is the only one that gets it right. this wasn't the worst film in the series but it could have been much better. also, who the fuck wrote the dialogue, because anything that wasn't dino-science stuff was pretty bad.[/sp]
now to play the lego game.
I just wished the dinosaurs behaved more like animals.
Man I wish I could see this movie for the first time again.
Solid 8/10.
Would've liked more T.Rex roars and it would've been awesome to see the [sp]Mosasaurus eat the I.Rex from that underwater view.[/sp]
I wrote a review: [url]http://www.whiteguywithnetflix.blogspot.com/2015/06/review-jurassic-world.html[/url]
All in all, I really liked it. Say the original Jurassic Park is a 10/10, this was like an 8. Really awesome from a story and content perspective (since it feels like the natural progression, given the possibilities of the stuff established the first time around), but every character but BDH was completely static (even if they were enjoyable to watch, like in Pratt's case).
It's got some substance to it as far as subtext goes, but the script isn't great, the characters aren't that memorable or relatable, and all of the action (while awesome) is admittedly the most insane bullshit ever.
It met my expectations perfectly, but then I wasn't expecting anything close to the original. It COULD have been way better, but I feel that what we got is perfectly acceptable, especially when you look at the series' track record for sequel quality.
[sp]Blue Raptor for MVP of 2015 in film, best character right there. Goddamn raptor assist was this year's "I'm always angry" or "Godzilla spits atomic breath down the MUTO's throat" moment.[/sp] The whole climax was really goofy, but I don't care, that shit was 11/10.
[sp]That climax was everything I wanted and more. I was hoping OG Rex would come in at the end to save the day, but I did not expect T. Rex + raptor teamup. That brief moment where Blue was riding on T. Rex's back as they wrecked I. Rex was amazing. Stupid, but amazing.[/sp]
Man, it was a bad idea to play the LEGO game before seeing the movie
I loved it, but I thought the overuse of cgi was distracting.
The movie had so many [sp]brutal deaths[/sp]
[sp]I guess the Telltale JP game is confirmed not canon now because the original visitor centre wasn't completely fucked[/sp]
I thought it was amazing. I'm going to go see it again later in the week, maybe in 3D.
Alright I saw it a second time today. [sp] It's still awesome. [/sp]
I'm going to talk about the music a little but I'm going to tag it to be safe.
[sp] The usage of quotation from the original soundtrack is phenomenal. I mean most of the soundtrack is totally new stuff, but hearing the theme from Jurassic Park gently intertwined at times (or even the entire song at times) is a huge nostalgia appeal, and I think it's good. Really makes it feel like a sequel to Jurassic Park. I will also note, that the theme from The Lost World is utilized during the I Rex/T Rex fight when Blue makes his entrance. I did not notice it the first time, and upon hearing it again I was hyped as shit and slightly confused. While I love the theme from The Lost World, I was suddenly mixed as to why they didn't use just a little more from it. A 4 second quotation is awesome for those that actually notice it, but sadly it is only 4 seconds. I wouldn't have minded, and maybe even liked a bit more of it. [/sp]
I'm a little weirded out by the fact that the trailers showed quite a bit that was cut or changed, namely [sp]the omission of the dino droppings scene completely and whatever they needed to do it for, half of Hoskins' speech about the evacuation, and especially Owen's line about doing it his way, given how much that line was promoted.[/sp]
It's weird. Everyone I know loved it, and I really did not enjoy it at all.
That and everyone clapped at the end of the movie, which is still strange.
Edit:
[QUOTE=Menien Goneld;47942121]Bunch of Text[/QUOTE]
These are the major reasons I did not enjoy it. Stereotypes and predictable characters throughout it. Felt like more of a hollywood movie than the original, which I can watch today and still enjoy the hell out of it. Which probably had much more quiet scenes between characters. It's not to say it's not a "fun" movie, but probably the only character I liked was Larry and the girl in the control center. Even though they acted as comedic relief those scenes with them were probably the ones I enjoyed most. A lot of the outdoor shots were "Look, we can do CGI, we don't have to hide it like in the first movie. See, budgets and stuff."
I just watched this in 3D and it was pretty fucking great. Some inconsistencies, but I feel like this was more about watching the dino fuck everything up than total accuracy. [sp]I REALLY liked the bit during the I-Rex vs. T-Rex fight where blue jumps from the I-Rex to the T-Rex when the T-Rex bites the I-Rex and then rides its back for a few seconds before jumping back on the I-Rex and continuing to parade on its back.[/sp]
Also, the bit after [sp]the I-Rex got killed and the T-Rex and Blue looking at eachother reminded me of Kung Fury (after they kill Hitler) for some reason?? Like I was actually expecting the Raptor and the T-Rex to hug or some shit fucking Kung Fury fucked me up.[/sp]
[sp]I like to imagine it's the Rex remembering her last fight with velociraptors, and deciding she doesn't really want to do that again[/sp]
