What a total piece of shit movie

Oh, Hollyturd.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Yes…..what were they thinking!?!?

 

[JimmyRustler]

I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that SOMEONE read that script and thought it would make a good movie.

 

[Loke]

Jurassic Park is the only good movie in the franchise to be honest.

 

[FunkMiller]

Jurassic Park is the only good movie in the franchise to be honest.

So good, they remade it and called it Jurassic World.

See also: Star Wars.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Yeah it was garbage but at least it gave us some good dinosaur DLC for the park sim game.

 

[Spyxos]

I couldn't stand it more than 20 minutes. And then you look at the box office and this disaster of a movie has grossed 1 billion.

 

[AJUMP23]

It was fine.

 

[Batiman]

Ya it was pretty shit besides a couple cool scenes.

 

[IDKFA]

Yeah. It was gash.

I'd like to see a new Jurassic Park film, but a more faithful adaptation of the original novel, but no more sequels.

 

[DeafTourette]

I liked it

 

[Smiggs]

I was actually really, really impressed with the movie. The second Jurassic World setup the final film to have an easy layup for an entertaining, dinosaur filled world where people have to learn to coexist with the ancient beasts.

The fact that they fucked up such a simple concept and managed to turn it into something NO ONE wanted is not only insane, but incredibly impressive. To think someone saw the end of the second Jurassic World then read the script for the third and thought "let's do this!" is nothing short of impressive.

I mean, impressively braindead, but impressive nonetheless.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yes…..what were they thinking!?!?

 

[sono]

The first film truly captured the wonder of these creatures that were once on our planet and brought it to the big screen really for the first time.

Subsequent films did not have that wonder. All I remember is folk running or fighting them

 

[ManaByte]

Prehistoric locusts could not exist in our modern atmosphere.

 

[Catphish]

What a total piece of shit movie

Oh, Hollyturd.

I couldn't finish it. I bailed around halfway and never looked back.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Lost World was fun and hype to see when i was a kid

 

[CrankyJay™]

lol the Tim Cook CEO was muah *chefs kiss*

 

[DeepEnigma]

lol the Tim Cook CEO was muah *chefs kiss*

And they were literally Monsanto.

 

[AJUMP23]

It had Dino’s, chases, genetically engineered people and animals. Dino fights. No tension. Good effects. It was fun.

One of the greatest movies ever made, and everything else in the franchise is literal trash.

 

[AJUMP23]

We should watch it together on FaceTime.

Yeah. It was gash.

I thought the book's sequel was good too (I read it as a kid though).

 

[IDKFA]

I've never read the Lost World novel. I own it, but haven't got round to reading it yet. Is it better than the film adaptation?

 

[Methos#1975]

Prehistoric locusts could not exist in our modern atmosphere.

They aren't prehistoric, they were a complete genetically modified creation

 

[LordOfChaos]

Just awful, completely awful. The first Jurassic World was decent enough, everything else was shit. I can't even remember all the issues but I just remember it making no sense, and not even seeming to try making sense.

Also the classic, a sedative dart hits a dinosaur and it instantly falls asleep mid jump before anything's even viably hit its blood stream lol.


Amazing how Jurassic Park was one of the best movies of all time and then they kept churning out shit after.

 

[Hudo]

Dino Crisis 1 and 2 > all of the jurassic park shit.

 

[ManaByte]

They aren't prehistoric, they were a complete genetically modified creation

They were cloned locusts modified. But the idiots who wrote the script didn’t know that locusts back then were huge because of the atmosphere. You clone one now and it’s just a normal locust.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

People gotta stop giving the pass to these mid ass retread movies like Jurassic World and The Force Awakens literally the same movie as the original just remixed.

 

[bitbydeath]

The whole world trilogy was kind of ass, IMO.
I can’t decide if the 2nd or 3rd is the worst overall. But even the story of blue, while showed promise in the first just ended up meh.

Edit: Probably the second was the worst.

The book and the movie are completely different stories - I personally don't consider the film an adaptation of the book. If you research the making of the movie, you'll learn that Spielberg's script was inspired by the 1925 movie The Lost World and the 1962 film Hatari! more than Crichton's book. Spielberg had been developing the story for the film for over a year before Crichton even turned in the book. Spielberg then incorporated some of Crichton's work but it's not an adaptation. Here's one example that illustrates the disparity between Crichton vs Spielberg:

The fucked up opening scene of the movie where the little girl get's eaten by the pack of tiny dinosaurs - 100% Crichton's and how the book opens
The San Diego T-Rex rampage - 100% Spielberg's idea and not in the book at all

Please read the book if you have it, it's a quick read and worth your time if only to see the differences.

I have it in Folio Society hardback, same as Jurassic Park.

Based on the information above, it's just launched itself a number of places on my TBR list. It sounds like I've been sleeping on a banger!

 

[jason10mm]

Everyone involved in that film were non American or coastie elites. No other reason exists for how ANYONE thought giant ass destructive DINOSAURS could possibly run around the woods and not get smoked IMMEDIATELY.

 

[SirKicksalot]

It sounds like I've been sleeping on a banger!

I thought it was garbage lol. It has one great dinosaur gimmick that was half-assed in Jurassic World.
Conan Doyle's book is better than both IMO, although Jurassic Park is very comfy.
Tarzan the Terrible also has badass dinos, ape-men and beasts. There's something magical about those retro dinosaurs and lost worlds. I wish we had movies like that.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

I genuinely think that I can be a script writer when shit like this gets churned out.

 

[Soltype]

Yeah. It was gash.

I'd like to see a new Jurassic Park film, but a more faithful adaptation of the original novel, but no more sequels.

Same, I wanted Sam Raimi to try his hand at it back in the day, not too sure anymore.

 

[Trilobit]

Jurassic Park is the only good movie in the franchise to be honest.

I actually think Lost World is also quite good. They are very different though. Lost World is more like an action adventure movie whereas the original is horror. The third one should only be watched if you have serious cravings for more dinosaurs, though it's easily better than all Jurassic World movies.

I hope one day someone will go back to the horror roots of the franchise.

 

[Billbofet]

This was last summer's worst movie by far. I took my son, who was seven at the time, and even he couldn't get on board with this crap.
Unbelievably bad.

 

[GymWolf]

I didn't even bothered after fallen boredom...

 

[GymWolf]

I need some context for this gif.

[Trogdor1123]

Watching it with the family right now. It’s pretty crappy so far.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Obligatory.

 

[scoobidoo112]

Dominion made Fallen Kingdom look like a damn masterpiece by comparison. The most bloated and boring movie of 2022 by far.

They had such a cool concept, Dinosaurs living in the wild all over the world, and then they made the entire movie about locusts. Bleh. And what a waste of the OG cast too.

 

[Sonik]

So good, they remade it and called it Jurassic World.

See also: Star Wars.

But this time with far worse direction, acting, script, pacing, characters, dialogue and special effects. The fact that the dinosaurs in the first look more realistic than the CGI slopfest 2+ decades later still astounds me

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Jurassic Park is the only good movie in the franchise to be honest.

The first is the best.

The sequel '' lost world ' is a piece of dog shit.

No offense to the dogs.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Finish out tonight with the kids. Holy shit it’s bad.

This movie is literally peak 2022

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Alright, set me straight. I have seen and read Jurassic Park & Lost World (movie was awful). Are any of the other movies worth watching? Any in the newest trilogy?
