Current Events > The Jurassic World movies were stupid.

(+) Yeah! (+)

How could anyone like those films?

---

yeah, but Chris Pratt man

woof!

---

cause dinosaurs

---

Yeah they were extremely bad and I like the 2 lead actors usually.

---

A lot of stupid things are likeable.
---

whatever that one dinosaur had a stealth mode and that was cool i don't even care how stupid it was
let me repeat
i don't even care how stupid it was

---

anything is redeemable if it has dinosaurs

---

Stupid movies, bad jurassic park movies, the first one is fun at least, the 2nd one its the prometheus of dinosaur movies, everyone just makes idiotic decisions just because plot

I can tell you why it was fucking stupid, Chris Pratt never rode a raptor like a horse.

Agreed, I like a lot of stupid things. Didnt like Jurassic World at all though.

---

Yes, they were bad movies and should be retconned. The T. Rex should be terrifying, not a superhero.

No feathers, no watch.

I do. Well, I suppose "like" is a strong word. It's enjoyable to me.

I couldn't make it 20 minutes into Fallen Kingdom. I had to turn it off.

I think they're saving that moment for Jurassic World Dominion

Fallen Kingdom was good until the mansion shit, though

Fallen Kingdom made a billion dollars because they put Jeff Goldblum in there for 5 seconds.

JPIII set the bar impossibly low. I would say a Barney the Dinosaur movie would make a better dinosaur movie, but JPIII was a Barney the Dinosaur movie.

You mean the white I-Rex, a fucking rip on the I-Phone? The mashup between a T-Rex and a raptor that turns invisible? Something a child dreams up when he smashes his action figures together?

Fuck that.

---

Heh. I never noticed the I-Rex was an a dig at iPhone.

The movie does feel like something a child would come up with. The scene where Owen rides a motorcycle alongside a pack of velociraptors was giving me flashbacks to a comic I drew as a child where Dr. Grant rode a gallimimus to catch up to a helicopter.

---

Jurassic World was watchable. Fallen Kingdom was just terrible.

Its a shame people like you think they have power over someones careers based on their views. Which in this case, hurt no one.

---

The worst thing about the world movies for my money though is that they didnt use this reboot of the franchise to also reboot the public perception of Dinosaurs.

jurassic park had an unparalleled effect on public interest for dinosaurs. As a kid this movie shaped how we thought for our entire lives. It pushed people into careers.

Now that the science is telling us dinosaurs had feathers it would have been awesome to see a more realistic depiction on screen.

But no they didnt want to alarm anyone...

---

The first one was entertaining enough. The second one was just bad though.

I think you completely missed his point. It is pretty wack that Chris Pratt proclaims to be this super devout religious man, but pretty blatantly left his wife for another, younger woman.

tbf questionable behavior by religious people is so commonplace it's barely noteworthy

Feathered dinosaurs are literally the reason they didn't reboot the series.

I dont think you have the qualifications to ask the hard hitting questions about someones faith being more important than a failing marriage. Or better yet. Questions about peoples personal lives you dont know from a hole in the ground.

I know I have no business answering those questions

I dated a coworker and those were her favorite movies and we broke up like 3 weeks later because I couldn't handle how dumb she was. She wasn't dumb and bubbly either, she was always pissed off about work things that didn't actually effect us or make our job anymore difficult. Just an overall low quality person.

Not to mention Ben Franklin wanted the turkey as the National Bird

who needs eagles when you have a goddamn T-REX as your symbol?

Youre telling me you wouldnt want to see this on the big screen? 8 million dollar budget on the feather CGI alone?

Yeah, forget science! Make the dinosaurs stand really tall, too, instead of horizontally. Just like museums used to display them.

Velociraptors are confirmed birds. A remake could have 3' tall velociraptors covered in feathers and a 6' tall deinonychus without. They could also throw in an archaeopteryx for further feathered dinosaur inclusion.

Once you show that factually some dinosaurs did have feathers, it becomes rather inconsequential which dinosaurs have them and which don't. The evolution factor is still present. Did tyrannosaurus have feathers? It probably developed feathers as it gradually evolved into a smaller lifeform. I don't believe that tyrannosaurus in its heyday had feathers. It had the same on/off switch in its brain for temperature regulation which an alligator has. Its skull has the same cavity for it.

In a movie that's more action than science, I don't feel the need to deliberately sabotage the tyrannosaurus's cool factor just to rub it in the face of anti-evolution types. There are priorities and Jurassic Park is first and foremost a popcorn flick. If you want scientifically accurate dinosaurs, we have the Discovery Channel for that.

One might as well complain that turtles don't actually know martial arts or that hedgehogs aren't the fastest creatures alive.

pfft! Next you're gonna tell me that Christopher Columbus didn't discover America and that Thomas Edison stole most of his inventions!

I'm not into dudes like that, but I can see the appeal. Are you exclusively into fit Pratt or will you also go for chubby Parks and Rec Pratt?

oh yeah, the nanny's death was completely over-the-top and undeserved

I mostly recall JW being about those two idiot kids getting stuck in their hamster ball
