Jurassic World

Post by LoathedVermin72 »

No thread for this yet, huh?

I'm going tomorrow night. Looks like the first reviews have started popping up. Keeping them embargoed until two days before release is not a good sign.

Yeah this seems like it has the potential to be really bad.

This is probably going to be the worst sequel. I'll still see it, but I have no expectation that it will be good.

I don't. A whole lot of terrible CGI in those trailers. But I do like that they filmed on location. But I'm not into Chris Pratt. And those kids look irritating. And they created a new dinosaur instead of using the T-Rex. And the raptors seem friendly with Pratt. These are all really bad decisions.

Casting a "star" in the leading role (Pratt) is only necessary if the movie isn't otherwise good.

In the original JP the memorable characters to me were not the leads (maybe Goldblum) - Sam Jackson and Newman were not. I can't even name the male & female lead actors, nor the kids, from the original and that's cuz they blended in to an awesome movie about dinosaurs.

Goldblum killed it though. He's the best.

I am confident that this will be better than the 3rd one.

When I saw Ultron, they had a 3D trailer for this one. I was convinced that 3D might be the way to go here. Especially if it's a crap-fest. Nothing makes a crap-fest fun like 3D!
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

It will be campy, good fun. I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you're expecting otherwise.

It's looks bad, but I lost hope for this franchise after the third one.

I had hope after the third one because I thought they weren't making any more.

Armond White is my favorite film critic of all time, but this is probably the craziest piece I've ever read by him: http://www.out.com/armond-white/2015/6/ ... bergs-dino
