What was the last Jurassic Park movie you enjoyed?
Jurassic World was fun with the invisible indominus rex fucking shit up and the general comic mayhem of the dinosaurs killing everyone (especially the pterodactyls. The one after that was complete garbage though.
I think it's important to remember these aren't meant to be real thinkers. Come in with low expectations and watch some dinos smash people. (That said I haven't seen the new one yet)
Hah yeah the one where the government wanted to train raptors to hunt Al Qaeda in caves will never be confused as a thinking person’s movie.
What frustrates me is thst JP has arguably had one good movie (not to undersell JP1 which was phenomenal and Dinos only had 22 MINsof screen time!) followed by 4-5 stinkers and that franchise is immune, whilst other franchises do not get a fraction of that leeway and at least are trying to tell a bit more complicated of a story. (Though now that I think about it, I guess this is just a family friendly horror film which similarly never really has to deal with much scrutiny to remain popular)
I also think it’s hilarious what a lucky MF Michael Crichton was to write Westworld then re-write Westworld and swap dinos in for robots and no one ever gave a shit.
Anyways, I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade or dissuade them what they like (except for Dwayne Johnson movies) - it makes me happy that the domestic and international film industry is steadily rebounding. It’s just one of those inexplicable things like the basic ass Queen movie getting Oscars and the original/interesting Elton John movie getting ignored (EJ director had to finish Q movie too) that I put too much energy into thinking about
