Lol, the last thing IDR needed was the "part 1 curse" on top of everything else.

I remember when it was rumored that the title for the movie was "Independence Day Forever Part 1" to be followed by ID Forever Part 2, and Neo insisted that those should be the thread titles despite everyone asking him to wait for confirmation.

 

Damn, he should come back! I loved his upside predictions.

[Captain Craig]

Neo, his sabbatical over or what? Come back to us Neo!

I finally saw JW this afternoon. It's easily the worst of the JP movies.

The RT and Metacritic FOR ID:R are in the upper 30s now.

Actually, I think Jurassic Park III makes Jurassic World look like, well, Jurassic Park.

Worse than a tween gymnast getting the upper hand on some raptors by way of make shift uneven bars? I don't think so.

The Jurassic park movirs as a whole don't do jack shit for me

I love JP3. After the mediocre Lost World just rehashed the plot of the first one JP3 ditched all the philosophical undertones of the first two and just turned it into a full-fledged monster movie. It could have easily been called "Attack of the Killer Spinosaurus". And it's so enjoyable thanks to that, Tea Leoni aside.

JP is an all-time classic. The rest range from bad to OK.

The Lost World is the best because of the trailer setpiece alone

Man, I don't know what was up with him. He was like some news-regurgitating android

Still don't know when I'm gonna go see Dory. I'll probably break with tradition and just go with friends and not my family, since they are dragging their feet.

Just got back from The Secret Life of Pets.

 

What a let down  

 

All of the laughs are unfortunately in the trailers. Only focuses on pets at home for strong first 20 minutes. Then it's a trip through the streets of New York and a very out of place dream sequence. 

 

Sold out audience, but very very little reaction. One for the very young.

Today is the last day of school for students in Canada, and 99% of students in the US are are on holidays, so that is a super low 2nd weekend projection for FD.

Not surprised. It looks cute, but I wasn't convinced Illumination would do much with the concept. Plus the reviews, while positive, aren't really glowing. I think it'll do mid-200s, since the marketing has been so good and seems like a decent enough crowdpleaser.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

All of the JP's are great fun to me. The first is still the best.
