Jurassic World: Dominion (6-10-2022)

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Besides Jurassic Park, is there a film series or franchise out there for which everyone agrees that the first movie is the best of the lot, hands down? I have never, ever heard anyone try to make the case that any of the other JP films come close to sniffing the original.

Beverly Hills Cop
Die Hard
The Matrix

Good candidates. I think The Matrix is a good comparison to JP, as it exists in the same sort of "huge hit that helped alter the landscape of major movies," and for most people the sequels were huge WTFs.

[JuanHamm]

JP 2 and 3 really aren't that bad, especially compared to the JW movies.

Really it would be impossible to replicate the sense of wonder that made JP so special.

I also don't think JP2 is awful, but it certainly is not revered like JP.

Who on earth—besides Rex reed—thinks Jaws 2 is better than the first?

[blueviper]

I’ve see the first Jurassic World movie to know this was going the way of the fast and the furious.


JP 1 seemed to be the most realistic of the series. Nothing too nuts, well except for dinosaurs.

The trailer for this latest World movie has unrealistic cycle chases, and a character doing an impossible leap from building top to building top. Of course she probably runs from it like nothing happens.

I’m waiting for a velociraptor to take control of a car and chase the main characters off the top of a parking garage , fight in mid air, then crash into a skyscraper and still get up and continue a fight.

[BurtReynolds]

I think JP2 is terrible and it's almost the worst movie Spielberg ever made (Ready Player One or that giant movie might his worst.)

[E.H. Ruddock]

The only interest I would have in any more of these movies is if they went the way of Planet of the Apes and jumped into the future where the Dinosaurs completely rule the world and there are just small pockets of humans trying to survive.

I read the Lost World the day it came out, thought “wow what an obvious lazy money grab,” went and saw the movie a few months later and thought “wow actually the book wasn’t so bad.”

There was a summer somewhere in the mid-90s when I listened to the Lost World on audio cassette. I honestly cannot remember anything about how it was different than the movie.

The book didn’t have bad cgi

Beverly Hills Cop
Die Hard
The Matrix

Agreed, although the first three Die Hard movies are great.

Pirates Of The Caribbean
Tremors
Police Academy
Revenge Of The Nerds
The Hangover

[Anders]

Did anyone watch that movie Crawl from a few years ago, where these people get caught in a hurricane and there's a massive flood and there's alligators everywhere?

Yeah Anders has seen it 108 times

Not seen it.

[Anders]

Jaws

Good one.

[VinylGuy]

The first three of Die Hard are great and the fourth one is fun enough.

The last one is a piece of shit

I think number three especially is very underrated, brilliant action movie. Agree on five being trash, much worse than any Jurassic-movie.

Beverly Hills Cop

Planet of the Apes
The Godfather

That’s not to say the sequels are garbage or anything.

Both The Godfather and The Godfather Part 2 is in the running for the best movie ever.

Planet Of The Apes is a very good one.

Can’t disagree with anything you’ve said.
