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.

Let's talk about Fear the Walking Dead

Do you have high hopes for Jurassic World, LV?

This film is going to stink up the joint.

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.

this is an odd takeaway

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!

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

My oldest is dying to go and I like dinosaurs and Star Lord so I'll be seeing it. Prob in a couple weeks once the crowds die down.

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.

LV, you don't like Chris Pratt?

Not really.

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
