re: My Thoughts On Jurassic World (Spoilers)

I'd give it 3.5 stars. Good steady action.

I liked it.

I want to know how they got that 23 year old jeep going with a quad's battery and nothing else. Though like my fiance pointed out. "In a movie about dinosaurs in a park, escaping and wanting people again, if that's what sticks out to you..."

Great popcorn flick. I like the story. The raptor team up was no where near as cheesy as the trailers made it look. The T-rex at the end was bad arse. I remember in an interview hearing it was the same from the first movie. I was hoping to here a reference to that.


The now dark thinking geneticist from the first movie and his interactions with the InGen guy were annoying. I hated that subplot. The same subplot that drove the Alien franchise. In all honesty... If you could create dinosaurs, you cannot tell me that the military wouldn't look into it.
Unless a pack of raptors with little bombs implanted in their brain on ISIS. Let them get their fill then when done. put them to sleep.

The park looked great. How the hell was that filmed at Jazzland? Maybe just some parts. Lot of CGI, but the dinosaurs looked great. Even the giant sea dinosaur got in the final kill and a human kill. Not too shabby.

I liked it a lot better than I was expecting to. With the trailer I had low expectations and it exceeded them. I would watch it again in theaters.

Writing/Dialogue left something to be desired, but with a relatively new director, thats to be expected.

I think the acting for the most part was pretty good, aside from Hoskins' scenes

If Hoskins and the scientist were working together, why wouldn't Hoskins know that before he sent the raptors out?

He didn't know they could communicate with each other.

And I lol when he said "we're on the same team"

I really hated the first half of the movie. Pretty awful IMO. The second half was great. Especially the last 10 minutes. It was like they came up with some really cool ideas for the second half of the movie and came up with some filler for the first half later. My geek censors went on full alert when they released the T-Rex. fricking awesome. Then the fight was really cool. I was like a 10 year old all over again.



I didn't like that the water dinosaur ended the fight, tho. I wanted the T-Rex to win out right, but not a big deal. Anyways, very fricking cool movie overall and I recommend it.

First half: 5/10. Second half: 9/10.

The Lost World theme when Blue arrives just as the IRex almost finishes off the TRex was just...

Wife and I saw it today, really fun movie. Some of the one liners were cheesy but Pratt totally delivered and you didn't even care about the dialogue.

I loved the homage to the first one like the jeeps, visitor center and stuff. Crazy to see Wuu become this villain scientist based on his character in the first one. Definitely room for a sequel involving him.

I liked it, didn't love it. I don't think they let Chris Pratt play to his strengths, and I hated the he could control the raptors storyline. If you want a simple cliche villian, why use Dinefario?

I think that may have been one of my favorite parts of the film. I will admit that I was worried about it ahead of time, but they handled it spectacularly. I do not find it inconceivable that a relationship of mutual respect and understanding could be developed between a human and raptors. I enjoyed the relationship and felt something when I thought Blue had died. I enjoyed raptors not being portrayed as villains or monsters.

Saw it today and liked it a lot, 7.5/10 imo. Not as good as the original but by far the best of the sequels..
