Jurassic Whirl - 6/10

Spoiler

Training raptors and having them by your side as you ride towards a battle, whistling to have them attack, and seeing the raptor turn the corner in slow motion as he comes in to save the day 1/10

Agreed! 100%

So does this mean we are gonna see an age of Dino movies since everyone loved jp so much. It'll be like the 90s!!!! Radical!!!

JW will it beat Titanic? That's the only drama left this Summer...

I think the box office says differently - almost like the whole world disagreeing with you.

A blu-ray on your shelf of a movie you love does.

Not everything got a blu ray release.... Not everything

Some horror movies from the 80s never even got a DVD release yet

Just saw this. It was enjoyable. I don't care how silly some parts were, it was fun. I don't watch a movie about dinosaurs roaming the earth today for believability.

Yeah that's like saying "I enjoyed Winter Soldier but hated the elevator fight, Quinjet takedown, and 'I'm with you to the end of the line.' Those parts were 1/10."

Box office means nothing when the crap movies like Tranformers 4 and Avatard make billions. This was a made for kids movie and kids were in awe of the dinos.

Yes, that about sums it up

 

[Gruson]

No way, it was awesome, best movie in years IMO. So many classic moments and T-Rex was back roaring! Loved it.

I think when the hype for this movie finally wears off, people will realize how mediocre JW truly is. I can personally say that I enjoyed the JP 1 to 3 a lot more (even JP 3 had some redeeming aspects with with Dr. Grant).

It's a great summer flick with dinosaurs eating people.
The experience at the theatre was great, not sure what else was to be expected. It's not a milestone of Cinema, just a fun, well crafted movie.

A movie can still be fun while also being mediocre.

For the most part I agree, except about JP3 and TLW. I still think this is the better sequel because it recaptures the ideas that make Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park and not a dinosaur action movie. Aside from the park, it directly deals with the effects of man's tampering and playing god. TLW scraped that with the hunters thinking they were superior, but the overall themes in JW were far better than the mindless action of the other sequels. I-Rex and Wu > Naturally evolving dinosaurs with feathers.

Of course.

I guess that's the way I see it, too. It's a fun summer movie, but it's definitely not a crowning achievement in cinema.

Granted, I've seen all of the JP movies in theaters, but the "magic" of this one was just lost to me. I really got the impression that the movie attempted to portray a real-life corollary about how dinosaurs were getting boring (both for the fictional visitors of Jurassic World, as us as the audience), and they needed a hybrid to keep things interesting for the movie. But, as a viewer, I found that highly patronizing.

I can't say I liked any of the acting either. The chemistry between Star-Lord the red head was especially forced on a number of occasions.

I think this movie was just trying to recreate JP1 for a modern audience. There's the two kids, like Tim and Rex. Star-Lord was basically an amalgamation of Dr. Grant and Muldoon. The sarcastic nerd with the JP shirt in the computer room, was foretelling the events that would take place - sort of like Ian Malcolm. Then, there was Henry Wu doing his research and experimentation on Raptors again .

Nothing's wrong with trying to measure up to the original film. But, it just seems like it was trying too hard, and there were so many elements to this movie that just fell flat, and didn't recapture the charm of JP1.

Nothing wrong with mediocre. Many of the movies I re-watch the most are considered mediorce or crap by others. Best example I can give is Predators and AVPR; some consider Predators an all round better movie yet I'd happily watch AVPR over Preds everytime.

And for the record I really like JW. It stuck to it's JP roots and gave us something new and nostalgic at the same time. TLW and JPIII have their issues but I still watch them.

Three weeks ago I walked out of JW disappointed age 41
14 years ago I walked out of JP3 entertained age 27

I was a adult (and very handsome ) both times

True, but out of a 4th JP movie, what more than fun can be hoped for? We know we're not getting Shawshank Redemption or Godfather type filmmaking here.
