[Mikasa Ackerman]

Reminds me of Night At The Museum. JW2 should be distancing itself from that classic to avoid unfavourable comparisons.

Yeah wondering how a museum will be involve.  Unless that museum is on another island surrounded by dinos again.

So this is gonna drop bigly, right?

 

If it drops the same % as Lost World did from the first, it does 417m. Seems like a solid landing point.

A leaked synopsis is out: "Assuring people that absolutely nothing will go wrong, they try to open the park just one more time."

[IndyRex]

Nice theory I've read on Twitter (I put in on spoiler tag because it could actually turn out to be true):

 

Spoiler

The young kid in the pic could be in fact Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) in a flashback scene.

Am I the only one disappointed at there being another main child character in the Jurassic Park movies. Can we move away from the annoying kid troupe

 

Without the children, my daughter would have never been totally interested in Jurassic Park movies. Thanks to these characters she knows many thinks about dinosaurs.

 

The only really annoying child in a JP movie is the girl from The Lost World.

Everything in Jurassic Park III was annoying so by extension the kid in that one was annoying.

[Ozymandias]

Jurassic World is pretty awesome.  The movie is basically a critique of modern summer movies.

 

And its got Blue running in slow mo to save the day at the end, military trained raptors with headgear, a big scifi channel original movie hybrid dino, "that things part raptor...", a person's death that pissed off people for some reason, and a raptor and T-Rex fist bump when big hybrid baddie is defeated, etc.

 

I like that kind of schlock.

What about the talking raptor?

Despite all the violence and brutal deaths, Jurassic Park films are actually kids movies. It may be unintentional, but they are.

The family plot was annoying. That poor kid had to deal with his lame parents. IMHO, he surprisingly was one of the lesser annoying characters of the movie. In fact, he was able to get Tyrannosaurus piss in a pot. Kudos to him!

How can you call the survivor kid in JW3 lame and give the ballerina that jumpkicks a raptor out of a window in the second one a pass?

 

Seriously, fuck Lost World.

I remember Colin Trevorrow saying about JW that he wanted it to be seen from a child's point of view, and that he even felt like the dialogue between Claire and Owen was sort of how kids think adults talk. I thought that was pretty funny.

I don't disagree, but I'm curious where everyone thinks the line for a "kids movie" is if it's not violence. Obviously there are PG-13 and R movies that appeal to kids more than certain G / PG movies, but given all the complaining over how lenient the MPAA is on violence, is it something that should be encouraged?

It's not people on people though, it's animals extinct for millions of years on people. Kids can understand that's not realistic.

Lost World is fine. Flawed but fine.

 

Don't even get me started on JP3.

Lost World is garbage. It's too long and Spielberg is on give-no-fucks mode which makes it even more insulting compared to the original. The only genuinely good part is the San Diego climax.

Many, many people were. I'd say most of this site was.

 

I wasn't because T-Rex crashing through a spinosaurus skeleton was the single most satisfying moment in cinema I saw that year.

I mean... I thought it was crap, but it wasn't like I was expecting much. Story-wise, sequels simply don't work for this franchise.
