Woah there.
Charles Foster Kane

I still can't believe Josh Brolin was in talks for that role though.
It would've been just weird.
that "sense of wonder" spiel has never worked on me. sense of wonder over what? two terrible looking cgi brachiosauruses? T Rex introduction is certainly better in JP but id argue Lost World does big set pieces better.
InGen dino capture/stampede is great.
returning the baby T Rex is great.
nighttime camp scene ending with the bloody waterfall is great.
gymnastics are great.
you guys are such troglodytes.

The Lost World is da bomb.
This right here is my concern over Jurassic World.
This is CGI from '97 and it looks leagues better than anything I've seen from Jurassic World.

Jurassic World |OT| We still miss you, Goldblum
Jurassic World |OT| Where's there a will, there's CGI
Jurassic World |OT| That doesn't look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey
Jurassic World |OT| God help us, we're in the hands of CGI artists
Jurassic World |OT| Can't just suppress 65 million years of sequel instinct

I suck at OT titles.
Laughing so hard I can't breathe
To JW's credit, it seems like they've been polishing the CGI/color grading over time, though it's hard to pinpoint with their recent clips because it seems like they're mixing early and recent editions of the footage together in their promos.
Almost forgot:
Jurassic World |OT| Spared some expense.
I am not falling for this shit again. I remember Godzilla getting the same praise in the beginning and that turned out to be shit.
This scene did not work for you?
You are in the minority then. Shit was truly magical the first time I watched it in the theaters. Still is.

Junior, please.
Yup. I watch the trailers for JW and just think, "that CGI looks like total shit".
We really aren't that much further forward in making it look real.

Cruel, but good word use.
The Lost World had some clever sequences that are up there with some of Jurassic Park's, but bottom line it was a dumb movie that thought it was smart. Jurassic Park III was a dumb movie that knew it was dumb. Worked better as a brainless popcorn movie, TLW in comparison was just a waste.
Unfortunately everything about Jurassic World seems to be shaping up to be like TLW--dumb pretending to be smart.
That 75% number seems about right to me. Not that hard to beat JP2 or 3. And you have stupid shit like Chris Pratt: The Raptor Whisperer.
I like it a better only because of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFtkw4KJAF4
It is still a really bad movie though. At least 3 had the sense to take all the good stuff from the books there were never included in the films and the plot was mostly just getting off the island.

Someone pull out brandonh83's rant about how TLW is just Ian Malcolm ego boosting the movie.
I did enjoy some scenes but w/e. Love the brief T-Rex chase.
But best JP sequel? Well, the content doesn't seem to be stretched out from like the 30 TV spots we got and with a good run time I can believe it.

Will be surprised if it is over 70% RT.
Going in with lowered expectations.

If the reviews are bad:
Jurassic World |OT| That is one big pile of shit
If it's good or bad:
Jurassic World |OT| Just think of it as kind of a big cash cow

CGI at night in rain always looks better than daylight stuff
Also from The Lost World
The stuff in the latest Jurassic World trailers is leagues ahead of the previous JP films
If you can't see that I don't know what to say.

Still shots doesn't do the CG in the older movies justice it's better in motion. JW's CG has improved though since we first saw it.
I think you summed up all of my feelings pretty aptly.

I don't know how anyone who has recently seen the CGI can say this.
Of course, not all of it looks fantastic--I'm sure some of it won't play as well on camera--but neither did all of TLW or JP3. T-Rex in the rain, at night, shocker, still looks good.
The key will be how well it animates and that looks extremely promising as well:
I'm shocked more people haven't mentioned this. My first reaction to the trailer was "are they using the same animation from the first film?"
Edit: Regarding the post above me... That doesn't look very good.

I'll watch it but I expect 2 hours of mindlessness.
Should be a fun little popcorn movie.
Goldblum elevates Lost World to legendary levels because that's his gift.

Jurassic Park movies are like making out dude. When they're good, they're really damn good. When they're bad, they're still pretty good.
I'm going into this very excited, just like I did with all the films and I've never been disappointed.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Does this have a lot of ties to the previous films?
I've only ever seen the original Jurassic Park as I heard the sequels were rancid, but willing to give this one a watch as I do like Chris Pratt...Just don't want to be lost story wise.

Jurassic World's raptors are hideous. When viewed from the front in sunlight they look like fat frogs.
Seems more tied with the first movie with Wu, the original JP T-Rex returning, and acknowledging InGen and Hammond. Not so much for the other 2 sequels.
Then again, we don't know to what extent TLW and JP3 be acknowledged since the film's not out yet, but I highly doubt they will be.

Not really, no. It's set about ~25 after the events of the first movie and pretty much ignores 2 and 3, though they're still canon.
What.
The best.
That's one of my favorite cuts ever.

I'll be surprised if they do something like the first T-Rex scene from the first film. Slow-paced, up-close-and-personal, constantly straddling the line between adventure and horror.
I have a feeling (totally unfounded mind you) that the elements will be there. Big dinosaurs sniffing a character's vehicle, breaking glass, lots of yelling, but it won't feel anywhere near as tense or genuinely "WTF" as the first film.

I'm sure someone on gaf will proclaim it to be worse than the worst Asylum movie.

Pick a piece of JP/TLW/JP3 CGI that isn't a T-Rex in the rain and let's compare. This is getting tiresome.

I think it'll probably be more of a horror slasher bent to it. Just going by the trailer shots we've seen, stuff like the blood dripping onto the guy's hand... just feels more horror-ish to me.

Was this sarcastic? The screens you posted all look mostly horrible. In no way would I consider the movie looking amazing from these. Better than JP? sure, but thats a 20+ year old bar to try hitting. It had the benefit of something new and used CG very conservatively along with lots of tricks to mask it. This just looks in your face and CG, which is what we all have problems with..

it has a great soundtrack, goldblum is pretty entertaining too. but what really makes it worth a watch imo is the hunter played by postlethwaite
jurassic park 3 is just unredeemable shit though.

You really should. This movie has had a NeoGAF OT death wish since 2013.
