masterpug53 02/11/25 2:29:25 PM #2:	Honestly, it's up there. I know it's easy to write off as a popcorn blockbuster, but there's a few good reasons why none of the sequels recaptured the magic of the original; one of those is that Spielberg understood that spectacle is nothing without buildup, and he took his sweet, sweet time masterfully building up the sequence of reveals in JP (the first brachiosaur, the t-rex, and the raptors). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:984008467] in Was Jurass...

GS4Life 02/11/25 3:10:10 PM #8:	Yes Schindler's List and Jaws are contenders But Jurassic Park is the most memomorable and impressive from a technical standpoint, even if it's not the most scientifically accurate movie it redfinined how everyone viewed Dinosaurs. But beyond that is Jurassic Park blends so many different genres of film together to perfection I don't if there is another that does that. Raiders of the Lost Ark is 4th, ET is 5th.

masterpug53 02/11/25 4:27:48 PM #21:	Personally I view JP as the spiritual successor to Jaws in terms of direction philosophy - it takes the ideas that Jaws brought to the table and refines them / makes them grander. So at that point it becomes an Alien / Aliens, Terminator / Terminator 2 situation where it boils down to personal preference between the stripped-down original versus the expansive sequel (and in both cases I favor the latter). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:984009565] in Was Jurass...
