Well don't expect the original JP and understand what you're getting into and appreciate the major scenes/set pieces. Even he said they were awesome.

after “jaws” came out there was a run of stupid jaws sequels and equally stupid shark/orca/etc movies, and what those movies all had in common was the characters were so bad, audiences rooted for the shark
There's a documentary on Shudder about this.
Fun fact: my dad was a PA on one of them :lol:

Watched John Campea. They said it’s not good at all
I'm skimming and he's not saying that much different than me. His problem is he's comparing it to the original JP and not the sequels.
The original JP is one of the best movies ever and one of the most groundbreaking movies ever. It's clear after all this time that nothing is going to compare to that movie.
Then they keep bitching about the lack of dino kills. The original JP didn't have 30 red shirts to be killed by the dinos :lol:
Also they bitch for 5 minutes about the setup of the movie and I guess the simple explanation is lost on them. The 2nd and 3rd movies of the 2nd trilogy were horrible. The set up didn't work, so they killed it.
And then they don't understand the "Rebirth" designation because of this.

And Gareth Evans is an amazing director but The Raid 2, this was not. The fact that you said you didn't realize Evans directed it says it all, doesn't it? This was a cash grab for all who participated, a phoned in, lame, producer driven drivel of an afterthought of a movie. I wonder just how much control Evans even had with this picture. The Raid 2 had incredible characters, amazing action, and...wait for it, suspense. It is up there with some of the best action ever produced, but this film could have been directed by anyone, sadly. At least the end product left no mark at all.
Gareth Edwards directed this movie, not Gareth Evans, who directed the Raid movies.

Remember when a Trex would shake the very ground in Jurassic Park?
Like when he sneaks into the building at the end of the first movie? :lol:
Or when the Spinosauras sneaks up on them at the fence in 3?
They have played fast and loose with this stuff since literally the first movie

I knew almost nothing of this movie until I watched it. I only got the tickets because my wife had expressed and interest and thought it was be a gool gift for her to see it early.

Losing and gaining weight over and over also damages the gallbladder. It's less about the GLP itself and the large weight loss that typically comes with it.
Yeah my doctor (and close friend) was telling me a lot of the issues seem to be based around overly high dosages of the drugs.

You can take all the GLP-1 drugs you want but if you don't change your lifestyle you will remain fat.
Eating properly/reduction in calories is by far the biggest variable in the calculus. You can work out all you want and easily out-eat the workout.
Now if we're talking about total health, exercise/activity takes a larger role, but you only said "fat"

My gut tells me it’s to defend a completely different argument of yours stemming from the Ukraine war.
No. I've always brought up Zelensky's ties to Israel and the fact that he ousted the purported Western puppet as an argument against the CT.
Even Bunk admits that the fact Z ousted Poroshenko is a hole in the CT
Many many people who jump into the discussion think Zelensky was installed in 2014, not 2019, and don't even know about Poroshenko

And I'll add that seeing JP in theaters is a lot different than at home.
I think I saw the OG at our $1.50 theater at least 5-6 times.

Man I will put a bunch of these individual scenes up with anything in any other sequel.
I don't want to get into details for spoilers but there are top tier action-suspense scenes in this movie. I forgot Gareth Edwards directed this movie until the credits.

There’s no suspense because the hollow characters don’t make you root for any of their actions. There’s no suspense because you already know what’s going to happen. There’s no suspense seeing cgi Dinos do silly shite.
Again. This is a Jurassic Park sequel.

Yeah I referenced that in OP. They did something similar with another franchise icon that made me laugh.
