Actually thought it probably had more blood than any of the others. I mean Indominus eats a dude and it literally rains blood lol
Anyway where are you in the "Trevorrow sucks and burned down my house and will ruin Star Wars" threads? Actually no, just stay away. Words of wisdom.

Fantastic.
More blood? It had like

Oh and this movie is at 1.6 billion now.
It will be fine, but largely depends on the two movies before. Abrams is the more immediate worry, and I am ambivalent on him.
Honestly dunno how Trevorrow landed this gig. I saw Safety not guaranteed and was largely not impressed. Wife liked it. Spielberg must have seen something on it that I didn't, maybe the sense of wonder that SNG tries to evoke. JW turned out all right in the end.
Eh I think some of the original scenes are more gory. Particularly lawyer getting eating by T-Rex. Maybe I am misremembering. Some stuff got cut off too early, like the babyseater secretary, she is obscured by the ptheronodon when the mosasaurus eats them both. Maybe not blood, but people getting eaten.

I loved the I-Rex ambush scene. The blood spatter through the leaves was great.
That wasn't gory at all.

Nope. World is more violent than Park though Muldoon's demise is pretty bad.

So this is interesting. Back in July I discovered that Universal Pictures took out a bunch of Trademarks for 'Hybrid Dino' in regards to Jurassic World.
Now today someone noticed Random House has at least one childrens book called 'Jurassic World Hybrids!' coming out in January.
Seeing that Universal took out the trademark, and for all parts of merchandising, I wouldn't be surprised if we get some sort of expanded universe that's geared in this direction. I'm not so sure it's entirely indicative of JW2, but I expect something in the lines of comics and toys as well. 2016 will be interesting.. after the wild success of JW the sky is the limit.

So here I am looking at an adult website for reasons, and I see the #7 played video of the day is titled Jurassic World.
Click on it to check, and...yeah it's the full movie. In 720p HD.
Someone uploaded Jurassic World to a porn site. In full.

It's a pretty common practice in all honesty.

Obviously piracy and illegal streaming are a thing, I just never expected it on those types of websites.
Admit it. You were secretly searching for a porn parody. JurASSic World

I can neither confirm or deny these allegations.

As bad as the third one. The plot is even worse, most of the characters and their performance are hilarous, not that they are bad actors (for the most part) but the writting didn't help a bit.

Don't wanna be mean, by your avatar i understand that you may like/love the movie. But i don't know, maybe i'm old, but i just like old JP
no dog-raptors, no military plot, no kids crying because their parents are getting divorced, no millionare acting like a hero when you know he is going to die, no genetic mutated raptors by evil scientist
they arrive at San Diego

That's understandable.
Just... Worse than III? That's what dumbfounded me.

Don't worry about your first point, because you're right, I do, which indeed explains the avatar. I'd like to think that my opinions are still valid, though not everyone would agree. And I'd hate to think that just because I have that avatar that people maybe wouldn't consider anything I say. Some do, some don't. It's alright though.
Anyway, it sounded like you just wanted more of the same and that's fine, but one reason I loved this is because it actually tried new and inventive things, and it executed them with total confidence. I do think you should have actually finished the movie though. I didn't want more of the same, and I'm glad that they ended up being two different movies even though all some people can do is call it a ripoff or just say it was all nostalgia.

I found the plot just as absurd.

Of course, everybody have different tastes, and this movie was a major hit. So it's clearly what most people wanted.

See, I think The Lost World's plot is absurd. Bring a bunch of dinosaurs to San Diego. Okay. Jurassic Park III's was pretty straightforward, super barebones but not really absurd. It was a rescue mission plot, nothing really off about it. Jurassic World was an extension of the themes presented in the first movie and novel with its own ideas such as what about having a super sketchy relationship with velociraptors that works in context all things considered as well as a hybrid, which isn't something alien for the franchise.
Eh, you're still obviously allowed to vent your personal frustrations. It's understandable. If I just wanted more of the same without taking risks I think I would have been upset too, at least a little. New ideas stick with me more than repeats. The scene with Owen removing the headset from Blue sticks with me. But you didn't see that, because you left.

I just finished watching Jurassic World and I didn't like it whatsoever. Watching it in 3D for the effects was nice and all, but the movie itself sucked. I haven't read what the general consensus in this thread is but here goes; and I'll start with some dialogue from the movie:
"Shh, shh!"
"Hey, I am not one of your damn animals."
"Listen, those kids are still alive, but you and I will not be if you continue to scream like that! You'll last two minutes in there, less in those ridiculous shoes!"
Then she continues to open up her shirt and roll up her sleeves to show she's the real deal (sexiness?). The movie continues on, and even if Claire was this uptight, corporate, unlikable person with no emotions for her family at all I'm somehow supposed to change my view about her from that point on? My god, it was shallow. Oh and she never did ditch those shoes, in fact she outruns a T-Rex in those same high heels later on in the movie.
The movie was a mess, special effect was nice. My IMDB rating was 5/10.

Wasn't it supposed to be? That scene is basically comic relief. She undoes her shirt and pushes her sleeves up in a huff and Chris Pratt's character is like "What is that supposed to mean?" as if rolling up your sleeves is a sign you're mentally and physically prepared to hunt dinosaurs. I think you're reading too much into that specific moment.

What an awful movie. I absolutely adore the first one, its the very first VHS my parents ever bought me and I remember the night we got it and invited my 2 friends over with some popcorn. 2 was okay, I actually enjoy 3 on a 'this movies not really good but its entertaining' sort of way, but this one? Dogshit. Yea some of the nostalgia parts are cool and the ending is sort of hype but man, the product placement, the cheesy scenarios, the very predictable EVERYTHING, mediocre acting, completely charmless, and the kids were terrible. I'm just very disappointed.
Haha, it's pretty clear from your childhood anecdote that you were never really going to like this, isn't it?

Judging by the fact that I waited this long to see it pretty much told you I was never going to like it better than JP1, but I never expected to dislike it. Was I going to enjoy it like a bunch of other sequels that I liked even though they were never going to be better than the originals? I thought so. Just so many scenarios where you're like...REALLY? REALLY?

I agree man. The look and feel of everything during all the daylight scenes was like a big budget SyFy movie. The look of the film did improve a bit once night fell but that was only a superficial improvement. The plot, acting and directing was so fucking idiotic/terrible and by-the-numbers, so far removed from what Jurassic Park was.
But hey, it made a fucking mint at the box office I guess a lot of people are content to stuff their face with popcorn and watch "dumb shit" without caring about the quality of a film.
Saw the movie this past weekend. Thought it was boring until the
Then I just thought it was fucking dumb. They should've added "There Goes My Hero" for maximum cheesiness.
And of course
The only thing that would've saved the film is if Chris Pratt made out with the raptor at the end.
slow motion scene of the raptor coming to the rescue.
And of course
Bryce Dallas Howard outrunning a T-Rex, a raptor bursting into flames for no reason, and the "OMG, are they going to fist bump?" moment with the raptor and T-Rex at the end.

Yeah, that worked so well for Terminator Genysis.
