Jurassic World (SPOILERS!)

[Boba Ben]

I made myself sad. I miss my Dino Riders toys. That T-Rex was legit.

Believe me, kids that are watching this aren't taking any of that stuff in. They just like Olaf and the singing.

Back to Jurassic World.......so, have they announced the sequels yet?

I remember a 7 year old having a philosophical conversation with my 6 year old son about the causal and correlational cognitive resilience of qualitative clinical opposition to the quantative social empirical phenomenology and its forensic impact to geopolitical industrial motivations that sisters have on snowmen after having watched Frozen.

Kids weren't the only people seeing it.....with the kind of cash it made it suggests crossover audience appeal.

But on the subject of Jurassic World.....I think we're going this week to check it out. I expect to enjoy it from everything I've heard, but I gotta say as someone who's been spoiled on the movie....I don't think I would care to see a sequel. Militarized dinosaurs don't hold any kind of appeal for me. The first movie was special and this one capitalizes on it rather well, it sounds like....but all the "magic" is gone for me if they go in the military involved angle.

I wouldn't expect kids to get out the theater thinking they shouldn't be afraid to be themselves but it does affect them on some level. I know I wouldn't be the same if I had watched different movies when I was a kid

Basically this. That's certainly big factor, and could be a factor for anyone who has generally felt different from society and/or outcasted.

But there's also what it does with the "True Love" trope of Disney movies. There's the role of the "Prince Charming" in this film. And probably the bigger thing is the real "true love" in the movie is shown to be between the two sisters - showing there are others bonds and not just romantic love that qualify as "true love" which is quite a different take compared to Disney's old classics.

IMO, those are all things that set Frozen apart from a lot of their others films, and all things that could resonate with people today.

Yeah I guess at a personal level this movie is a bit more realistic, Shrek was like that too imo

I'm sure of one thing. The can't go with the park theme anymore. Also they can't go with the "family lost in a crazy island with giant lizards" theme either

Yes he was! I mean...he was the template for Rex in Toy Story.

Also - girl power. It was heralded by all the Mama's for showing that you don't need a man to save you..or some ****. I don't know. I have a son. But my niece sure loved it.

Apparently women haven't been to Uganda with RUF Rapists... People kill me...

This thread is pure gold. Box office numbers being posted every 10 minutes, in-depth discussion on Disney movies... yeah.

Having JW tell the viewers that we are sick of dinosaurs is like Hasbro telling us that the Jabba action figure does not need to come with a dias!!

Going to my third viewing this afternoon.

Finally saw it the other night. It's ok I guess. It's better than TLW and JP3 which isn't saying much but nothing here stood out. Nothing was iconic and will stand the test of time. It's just a summer popcorn flick.

Pretty much the thing that sticks with me here 2-3 days later, is that I liked the use of the Universal River Adventure ride's song in the score.

Pratt was great(with what he had to work with). He proved he can do serious action and not just slapstick. I think this movie will benefit him more than anyone or anything else.

Wha..what...? "Ok?" "Nothing stood out?" Cameron you saw like sixteen dinosaurs fighting each other, one of which was part T-Rex part Raptor. Noth--nothing good? *looks at camera*

Since the release of JW I have to be honest that I am surprised at the amount of people brushing off TLW and JP3 so quickly both here and on YOUTUBE. I have enjoyed all three of these movies and feel that all three have complimented each other so well (The Park, The Safari and The Wild). By the time we get to JP3, humans had no business on the island. TLW and JP3 had great moments that I find hard to brush off and ignore:

TLW (The Safari)

Compsognathus – I loved the TLW introduced us to smallest of dinosaurs
The introduction of the jeeps/bike chasing Dinosaurs. Tons of Dinosaurs running
Destruction of the Camp
Two T-rex (cliff scene)
T-Rex in the Tent, running down a trail into a waterfall
"Not into the long grass” - Raptors. I loved how the Raptors just had a small part
SD scene was fine. I think it was going to happen (Dino’s in the City) so get it done in the second movie
Movie basically had two endings (like Aliens)
The tease of a Pteranodon

JP3 (The Wild)

Plane flying over Dinosaurs (great Welcome back)
Plane crashing scene
Intro of Spinosaurus (he looked good)
Spinosaurus vs. T-Rex (I like that Spin wins) Basically tells the viewer its not T-Rex movie this time around
Spinosaurus running out of the forest (completely copied by I-Rex in JW)
“Any Body have Change” scenes in headquarters
The scene of Spin standing there with the phone ring before chasing them by the fence

ITS A BIRDCAGE – One of the best intro to any Dinosaur from any movie. How can people ignore this. We were waiting to see Pteranodon since they teased it in TLW. I loved this scene.

The movie was short but it was go go go from the beginning.!!!


TLW and JP3 do not deserve the brushing off I have read here and listened to on YOUTUBE.
