Oh, my bad. While Carnosaur is based off a book, I was talking about the Dinoverse joke HollyBlueAgitated was talking about. Dinoverse is an actual book series about a nerd who creates a machine for a science fair, only for it to transport him and several other students back in time to the Jurassic era and into the body of dinosaurs, where they have to figure out how to get back home. The first two books are a lot of fun. Have to read the third through sixth books again as they're a little bit different.
9:20 That's because Colin Trevorrow has admitted that this film only served as a set-up for the Jurassic Park film he always wanted to make - the dinosaurs on the mainland, or the full realisation of the second third act of The Lost World that Spielberg couldn't do back then.
Haha am I the only one that loves the original Jurassic Park but still find the sequels entertaining? No sequel will top the original but I still enjoyed both Jurassic World films.
This was literally just Jurassic Park fanfiction, right down to the scientists making OC dinosaurs and holding a character auction. "This is my dinosona, Indoraptor she has all the powers of a trex and a velocoraptor. she is all black and has a gold stripe and an IQ of 300 so she will only atttack people when you point a lazer on them and press a button so she will be nice to you only if you dont get on her... bad side. PM me for pricing. Paypal accepeted"
"Hiring a flat earther to teach in a science class"...I didn't see that coming, was great. Maybe Brad could review the Concave Earth "documentary" in snob character.
Evil army guy pulled out a Donald Trump line, "you nasty woman" A dinosaur only costs 40 million dollars Zero chance of any of the main characters dying.
After this movie, they should just drop the facade of adding to the JURASSIC PARK "legacy" and just make an live-action DINO-RIDERS film. It will be dumb, but like you said, it could be the "good" kind of dumb. PS- the only thing I got out of this film was secretly hoping the Mosasaurus cameos in THE MEG.
Exactly. I thought it was a good decision they continued to portray her as a wild animal that was once tamed and partly trained (from early age), but is still a wild animal. I liked that she had enough of an emotional attachment to her old human buddy to help out a few times. Possibly the main dino heroine of this installment.
How in the hell does a blood transfusion between 2 different species work based on whether they have 2-3 fingers or not? I can't even get blood from my own mother because we're a different blood type. Just one of many, many stupid moments in this movie.
If and when it comes out, it will likely star Kevin Sorbo being an atheist professor who hates God who writes books with Hercules in the title who gets hit by a car-sized carnosaur and miraculously survives. Following it, he wears colorful clothing, gets baptized by a discount Joe Pesci, builds a war room, and goes on Hannity to discuss terrorist carnosaurs and promote his light event that raises awareness in boys of "what it means to be a man." Surely a Dove Foundation hit.
I think it’s just a scientific fact no Jurassic Park sequel will ever match the lightning in a bottle that was that first movie. Even Michael Crichton couldn’t write a good sequel to the book. Yeah I said it The Lost World was just a cash grab book
RisingVictor funny you meantioned it, James Cameron was interested in doing it but Spielberg beat him to it. He got the rights before him. He said he would've done something similar to Aliens probably.
In an ethical standpoint, after seeing the dinosaur auction scene, I would've let the dinosaurs die on that island, even when the dinosaurs were suffocating I would've let them die, because there's no way they could live in the outside world in the current age of humans. They'll end up killing people or cause untold amounts of damage, it'll pretty much be like The Lost World, but much worse. Plus, the way how the volcano was tearing itself apart, I kinda expected the island to end up like Krakatoa and cause a giant mega-tsunami that not only kills the dinosaurs, but also the humans trying to escape.
ginnrollins211 I actually like this movie because in the novel of the first Jurassic park book there was an ending to it where it seemed liked some of the dinosaurs made it on the mainland and I believe that’s what this movie is setting up for. How humans and dinosaurs can coexist with on another
Brother Malachai In the words of Dr. Ian Malcolm: "This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction."
Waiting for this for a while. I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for it, but I actually kind of like this movie, because it was such an unapologetic B-movie. 9:45 No, they portray that as a very bad thing. That's why I'm pumped for the sequel. This movie plays like the prequel to a much more interesting movie, bringing up the ideas of *SPOILERS* bioweapons trafficking, human cloning, and dinosaurs freely roaming the Earth. The movie that I'm envisioning in my head 1) is probably way more creative and interesting than what we will eventually get, and 2) is basically The Road Warrior but with dinosaurs.
SukiNoKoe People attack you for drinking milk. I feel that there are people in society (not many, but a particularly loud and obnoxious minority) who exist to ensure that no one has opinions that contradict their own.
Don't worry, you're not alone. That's the same reason I enjoyed it. But I went in expecting it to be a campy monster movie, so I wasn't disappointed. Yeah, there was a lot of stupid, but it was enjoyably stupid. Like how Blue can now understand and respond meaningfully to complex sentences and the ideas being presented in them. And apparently physics and chemistry. (She's basically a human in a dino body now.) But the action scenes were fun, it got a few laughs out of me and it left me wondering what was going to happen now that dinosaurs are running loose through civilization. I was never bored by it, which is more then I can say for the last several Transformer movies or the last jedi.
Yeah, some of those vegans are batshit insane. xD. Ikr, it's so childish but those loud, obnoxious people seem to only be brave enough to post online where they can hide behind a screen. You never see them out in the real world. lol
I thought I was the only one that really didn't like this movie. I don't think it is horrible for everyone but for me I was miserable sitting in the theater on a Sunday morning. It was so boring to me because it is so damn predictable and has the worst ending because it was coming and you knew it was coming because they had to do it. Not to mention that I had a little shit behind me in the theater kicking my seat. That was just the icing on the crap show.
ItsSoDane I had an asshole that kept looking at his phone with his bright af screen! Dammit, that shit is distracting! It better be an emergency doing that!
You know what, I really dug Jurassic World and I... enjoyed this movie. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. It did feel like the dinosaurs were fucking with people at some points. I half expected the Raptor to wink at us or go "Yoshi!"
Man this movie, I wanted to like it soooo bad, it had the bones of being something really good with good moral/ethical ramifications but instead they went with the " Dinursaurs are living beings and should be set fweeee!" and man is it all kinds of wrong. It seemed to be so hung up on pushing an agenda it forgot to be entertaining. The concept was THERE, but it got so lost. Also the anthropomorphism of the dinosaurs got so silly at some points it was like " Whut?" *-SPOILERS-* That one brachiosaur actually kinda' had me laughing up to a point " Like, dudes! Seriously, hold the boat! I'm coming but I've got these stumpy legs! Shit, c'mon yer not seriously gonna leave me?....oh....okay then..." And that whole scene was so clearly emotionally manipulative I felt annoyed at it...and sad, but it was clearly just meant to make you feel guilty. I was seriously hoping they would kill off all the dinosaurs at the end, it would have had so much more of an impact and really drive home the idea of how wrong it is to create living organisms for sheer profit. But nope, they had to add in a stupid kid releasing them into the wild to do untold amounts of damaged to the ecosystem and yanno' hundreds of people senselessly killed because....reasons? Like...why? " They're like me!" No...no stupid kid, they're not. They admitted in the first one these things aren't even real dinosaurs, they're manufactured to people's expectations and not even the actual thing.... ( Edited because I forgot to read before I posted and repeated myself a few times, XD )
{They admitted in the first one these things aren't even real dinosaurs, they're manufactured to people's expectations and not even the actual thing....} So the "stupid kid", who was actually a clone of some rich dude's daughter, is _not_ "manufactured to [his] expectations and not even the actual thing"? I find that very hard to believe.
She may be, but the thing is, she's not a dinosaur, saying " But they're alive like me" is a stupid reason. Plenty of things are "alive" but that doesn't mean they should be displaced into a situation they didn't ask for where they can cause untold amounts of damage and possible deaths, including their own. So yeah, she was a stupid kid for doing that. Also there is, as of this movie, no indication she's anything but a clone.
{She may be, but the thing is, she's not a dinosaur, saying " But they're alive like me" is a stupid reason.} No, but she is a clone. Like they are. Considering that the only alternative is death, it makes sense that she did that. It may not be a smart thing to do, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that kids do dumb things all the time (remember that person who closed that car door in front of the T-Rex in the first movie? Oh yeah, she was a kid, too). {Also there is, as of this movie, no indication she's anything but a clone.} Yes, she's a clone. What's your point?
You seemed to be indicating that she was more than just a clone, a clone is a replica of a person, not an altered human being, that would be something else. You also seem to be taking offense to the fact I called her stupid, she is stupid, and pretty much criminal. Her reasoning doesn't negate what she did, as in potentially causing the deaths of hundreds of people and the extinction of the native fauna/flora in the area. Your argument is basically the same sort of thing you see with people who argue against culling non-native species. Don't get me wrong, I love animals, but I also understand that Burmese pythons don't belong in Florida, or feral cats in Australia. We put them there, its our fault, and its tragic that they are being killed because of our mistakes. If the movie had put an emphasis on that, it would have been more forgivable. The dinosaurs, by the way, are not clones specifically, because, again, they admitted they're not exact replicas of the dinosaurs, hence why they don't look like proper dinosaurs ( I.E. their way of trying to explain the fact their dinosaurs are in no way accurate to what we now know they look like) They're more Frankenstein's monsters based on dinosaurs. Anyhow, I'm text walling over the intelligence of not real clone people and movie dinosaurs, it is time, as they say, to stop *floats away*
"You seemed to be indicating that she was more than just a clone, a clone is a replica of a person, not an altered human being, that would be something else." Yes, but she's still a morally objectionable existence; a facsimile of a dead person who only exists to live out the glory days of some old dude's memories of being a father. It doesn't matter _what_ she's made of, all that matters is _why_ she exists. "You also seem to be taking offense to the fact I called her stupid, she is stupid, and pretty much criminal." Okay, she's stupid and a criminal. So what? Pretty sure we're gonna get into it in the next movie, so why bitch about it like the movie glossed over this point, when _Ian Malcolm himself is saying this was a bad thing to do?_ "Your argument is basically the same sort of thing you see with people who argue against culling non-native species." ... No. The "argument" being made is that if it comes to a decision of letting the last Burmese Pythons in Florida get poisoned to death, and letting them go free, it makes sense for the 12-year-old kid who likes snakes to pull the lever that sets them free. I'm not saying that her reasons are justified (and I'd appreciate it if you didn't shovel shit I didn't say into my mouth, thank you very much), just that it makes sense why she did it. "If the movie had put an emphasis on that, it would have been more forgivable." Did you just walk out the theater at that point and miss the part where Ian Malcolm condemns the action, the geneticists getting more samples, the Mosasaurus eating that surfer dude, or Blue looking over a suburban valley? The film focuses plenty on that. "The dinosaurs, by the way, are not clones specifically, because, again, they admitted they're not exact replicas of the dinosaurs, hence why they don't look like proper dinosaurs" Yes, they are not pure facsimiles of dinosaurs. However, they are genetic recreations of what people think of when they imagine dinosaurs, which still uses the same process needed to create a dinosaur. That's like saying that a fraternal twin isn't a twin just because it's identical, even though they were still born within minutes of each other. "They're more Frankenstein's monsters based on dinosaurs." To create a real-life clone, you take a somatic cell of the mother, then place it inside the mother's ovum (this is a simplified description of how Dolly the sheep came to be in 436 attempts). In Jurassic Park, they took the DNA from a protein sample of a fossil, the blood of a mosquito that existed near the same time (filling in the remaining code with other organisms), placed the DNA in an Ostrich egg, and it would work 1 in a 1000 times. It doesn't matter if they're perfect or accurate, the point is that they took some DNA and made something out of it that people in general think they look like (and the audience response of Jurassic Park III can tell you all about how people would respond if the clones were actually accurate...).
I actually found this movie to be an enjoyable B picture. Its nothing great, I feel its miles better than most of the previous entry, and I felt entertained. I'm in Omni Viewer's camp on this, its a popcorn creature feature, very akin to something from the 50's or 60's. No much substance, just a lot of dinosaurs and action. It was worth 5 bucks in my opinion
"they are alive... Like me" well the prisoner in jail also are alive but that dosen't mean they need to be free. The ending was so stupid, why anyone get mad with the little girl? She commdem the rest of the people to live with dangerous dinosaurs
Nicolas Reversat they are alive. And they tried to kill her just moments before. Yeah, it made no sense. We can assume hundreds of people will die right ? Those deaths will be on her.
Every time a dinosaur killed someone I would sit her in front of the news story or paper and make her read it. Then I would say "They were alive... like you. And now they are dead because of you."
I was kinda hoping the stinger at the end after blue on the ridge was her running through suburbia and getting a steady job somewhere then serving people over the counter of some store.. then she like applies to college get her nursing degree starts a family buys a house.. you know the usual.
I think his final speech, over shots of what is inevitably going to happen now, only further proved him right. But that was the exact point they were making.
Thy used parts of the script of the unmade Jurassic Park 4 that had human dinosaur hybrids. It's not just dumb but pointless, nothing happens, it feels like they are on the island for five minutes and then the stupid rich mansion. It's a rip-off of lost World but done so much worse.
Blue is intended to the be the only like-able character in either film but other than that, no this one was dumb. Previous one needed to go over the top but this one was a cartoon. The Lost World is still the only good one.
This movie definitely had a lot of problems but I actually weirdly enjoyed this more than Jurassic World because it doesn’t have the cynical tone of that movie.
12:30 I was almost expecting to learn they had mixed Dino DNA or Raptor blood with Maisie's, given they had those 'intense eye-looking' moments in-camera.
The Simpsons album with "Deep Deep Trouble" was Simpsons Sing the Blues. Also had Mr. Burns rapping on "Look at All Those Idiots." A factory full of fools! Also... were you thinking of Uncle Drew?
There’s that shot at the end when Blue jumps out of the window as the room behind her explodes and it’s fucking hilarious. Had the rest of the movie been as goddamn dumb as that, I’d of loved it. But nope. This was awful.
Re: The "death" of the dinosaurs on the dock and it supposing to be "sad." I take to Sarah's indifference to it, and feel the same way. I feel like Chandler from "Friends" when he admits to not finding the death of Bambi's mom sad. To quote him, "Yes it was really sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer."
During the beginning scene on the island with the storm, where the guy turns around and sees the T-Rex and starts running for his life, I leaned over to my husband and whispered "You mean this island full of dinosaurs... has DINOSAURS?" My audience was not particularly riff-receptive, but I do recommend everyone see this with drunk friends and rip the crap out of it.
I call it The Venom Snake Effect. Where a franchise has deviated so far from its roots that the branding stops making sense. And the things that connect it to the previous entries (such as cameos) become surreal. (Those that have played Metal Gear Solid 5 will know why I called it that)
I understand not liking this film, I don't understand the pure and unadulterated hatred from some or the pure love it gets from some others. The film was an average popcorn film that falls falt in the third act. I personally liked the built up and think the scenes on the island are pretty good, especially the underwater scene was pretty intense. I also liked the relationship between Claire and Owen in this one way more than in Jurassic World, especially because I actually believed there was something between them this time. For me that's mostly thanks to Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, the latter one I didn't like in the first one, but I really liked her and especially the two of them together in this one. I also think the directing and the effects were amazing. Call me easily to manipulate but that makes it better than "garbage" in my book. And I also liked how Rexy was actually indimidating again and how Blue was used to show that these are still animals and not just some killing machine monsters. I also liked the reveal regarding the clone and the general moral condunrum the film tries to bring up. And yes, there are a lot of problems with the film. Like I said, the third act falls flat. At first it's a fun dino-adventure which could go somewhere pretty interesting - but in the end it does not. While I think that auctioning off dinosaurs to the highest bidder and trying to exploit them for war would be something that we as a species would certainly do, the way its protrayed here is laughable. They clearly had no idea how to handle it - serious political and social commentry or satire? Thriller or action adventure comedy or animal horror? Even worse, nothing is ever addressed. The clone aspect should have been a major reveal and a major plot point in the film, but it's not, leaving the affected character as a useless side-kick. The villains might have had potential, alone due to their actors, but the script never did anything with them. The entire idea of having the auction had that estate was ridiculous. And at the end when the decision has to be made if the dinos are supposed to survive or not, there's no debate either. And that sucks, it sucks hard. I really enjoyed the first two acts. I didn't think this was going to be better than the first two films, and I'll always defend The Lost World as a totally underrated film, but at least it was on the track on being better than Jurassic World. But the end kinda ruined the film for me. I still wouldn't say it's a bad film due to the aspects I mentioned beforehand, but damn, it had so much potential for more. If I had to rate the film, I'd give it a 6 or a 6.5 out of 10 or a C, with Jurassic World getting 7/10 or a B-. Jurassic Park 3 is still the worst in the franchise for me, only getting 5/10 and with that a D+, while The Lost World gets 8/10 or a B+ and the original gets 9.5/10 or an A+. I know, long post, but I had to get that off my chest. PS: Since Brad brought up flat earthers - the film has a jab at creationists in it if you have caught it.
Hi Cinema snob it's me Logan i was at Comic-Con with my dad he was cosplaying as trunks and i was goku if you remember i asked you to review jurassic world fallen kingdom if you remember me but thanks for reviewing jurassic world fallen kingdom i may not agree with all your thoughts but its still a good video thanks😁😁😁😁☺
Jurassic Park as series has always had a problem with the "sympathy for the dinosaurs" thing. On the one hand, yes, they are just animals, and aren't really evil. On the other hand, the entire point of the series is that any sustained human interaction leads to incredible violence. You can't tell me to feel sad when humans want to kill the genetically-modified murder machines that absolutely, positively, cannot live peacefully with humans.
I thought Jurassic World was okay. Wasn't anything stellar about it but it wasn't terrible. First trailer I saw for Fallen Kingdom was during Black Panther and it looked good. I thought "Oh, they're gonna play with the setting for the second movie. Okay." Then I saw the final trailer and it looked awful. Like they were gonna do a whole bunch of stupid crap. Kinda sad to hear that I was right.
If you remember the Jurassic Park comic books from Topps Comics and look at it from that perspective, it's easier to see where this film's plot came from. Those comic books had a drug lord named Rafael who wanted to buy the raptors and make them his attack dogs, and crazy things like natives worshipping the raptors, Muldoon coming back to life, and InGen and BioSyn literally at war with each other. And with all this crazy stuff happening, still continuing the thread of ethics and chaos theory from the novel and movie. Trevorrow is definitely pulling from everything in the JP canon, especially the comic books, for the JW films. The idea of auctioning the dinosaurs off in a giant mansion to weapons dealers could've easily been done in the comics. And in the age of comic book movies, it's easy to see why Trevorrow and Universal went that route.
Can someone explain to me how the dinosaur knew what a sleep dart is and what it does, to then pretend to be under its effects? I still can't wrap my head around that.
I kept expecting her eyes would turn yellow whenever there was a closeup of her! And at the same time praying they wouldn't sink that low in the stupidity! That was the only tension I felt in the whole movie!
I wonder why they never brought the dilophosaurus back, that was one of the best parts of one. I also called that the kid was a clone like 5 minutes after seeing her.
Most people seemed to think this was way better than the first one but I thought the opposite. I really really enjoyed the 2015 movie but this new one fell flat to me.
I actually disagree. The movie was DUMB, and made no sense, but that's I was enjoyed about it, strangely. I also thought it was better made then the first.
Can't help but laugh and facepalm because YES... I have both of those Simpsons albums sitting in my car as of this minute ( titled "The Simpsons Sing the Blues" & "The Yellow Album") ....Right next to my Buckman & Garcia album. I REGRET NOTHING. lol.
Speaking of Flat-earthers. I don't know why, but they were the last people I expected to comment on the First Man trailer. I don't know why, but they should have been the first people I expected.
I was up at 3am to work, worked an 11 hour day on top of it and went to see this afterward. Normally under those conditons, if nothing keeps my interest and bores me, I'll fall asleep. This may not be the best ever, and I know fully well that no Jurassic sequel will touch the first one, but it didnt anger me as much. A few improvements over the first of the new Jurassic World series and of course a few things that shouldnt have happened, but it kept me entertained enough to keep me dozing off in the middle of it. Notevensorry 😊
I agree with the point that Chris Stuckmann made in his review which is that why couldn't they just put the dinosaurs in site B, Isla Sorna? Because that is canon. I bet they'll do that in the end of the second one, tranquilize all of the surviving dinosaurs and transport them there. (Why do I think that Owen has to kill Blue at the end of the third film because she's turned into a savage killer, which she's always been but restrained and that is going to be the sad moment?) (This film was a franchise-killer for me. I grew up watching the Jurassic Park-films, they are the reason why I love films nowadays and would eventually start making my own/help others make their and I have liked them all, in someways at least. All the predecessors have had the sense of awe, adventure, tension and memorable characters of which this film completely lacks of. This film made me care A LOT more for the dinosaurs than the people I'm following.
i didnt mind this movie so much until the end. that "fight" scene was shot way too dark and stretched itself out way too long. i almost fell asleep at the end.
Michael Anderson Who was a "dino expert" and yet was never around an actual dino prior to her trip to the island? And somehow did a successful surgery despite a lack of experience, gear, and a blood transfusion from an unrelated (or very distant) creature? I mean, we couldn't get a blood transfusion from a chimp or a human with an incompatible blood type, so wtf?
I hated this movie. Jurrasic Park is my third favorite movie of all time. Hell the T-rex breakout scene from it his my favorite movie scene ever. Even the other one I get a decent amount of enjoyment from even though I know they aren't good films. But this one pissed me off. The first third was fine but the final two thirds was terrible. The film is full of so many unrealistic reactions and scenarios it becomes a joke to watch. How the he'll does nobody check that truck that just jumped into the boat despite the entire hull having people In it? How is there basically zero security in the hull full of precious Dinos except one guy saying "doors open a bit nothing suspicious here. How the fuck do you not scan to make sure the damn Mosausaurus isn't still alive in the lake before going in? know Why did the auctioneer have to throw the women in the elevator like that and why did she have to scream when the indoraptor wasn't even paying them any mind? I know these films have to have some moments of "what were they thinking" to work but this? This entire movie hinges on it way to damn much. Than you have the dumbest and most unlikeable group of side characters in any Of these films. Other than Claire and Owen who do you care about? The little girl? No she was obnoxious and such a MarySue Ex Machina for most of the films until she becomes the standard helpless screaming child for the films convenience. I think they should do a crossover and have this be the Origin of little Laura Croft. It would be a better twist than OMG she's a clone. This is the worst Jurassic film in my opinion.
Additionally how am I supposed to be scared or nervous about this Dinosaur killing people when the vast majority were either bad guys or so incomprehensibly stupid? In the Previous films you had tension because in addition to the main characters you had innocent people in the path of these creatures. Here the only real character you have some sympathy for is the guy who was Eaton on the helicopter ladder and the old man who wasn't even killed by a dinosaur. Everyone else killed were either bad guys or characters part of the illegal auction. Hard to care when so many characters are the type audiences are routing for getting killed.
{How the he'll does nobody check that truck that just jumped into the boat despite the entire hull having people In it?} I dunno, the veterinarian chick would probably vouch for them like she did that cringy dude, and they'd do the blood transfusion thing a lot easier. {How is there basically zero security in the hull full of precious Dinos except one guy saying "doors open a bit nothing suspicious here.} Would adding more people really be that much of a boon? The script would just be written so that they'd be able to evade them regardless of the number, which would just make them look more incompetent than they already are. {How the fuck do you not scan to make sure the damn Mosausaurus isn't still alive in the lake before going in?} You don't think they already knew that going in? Dinosaurs can live a long time. Plus, the fact they did this to begin with implies they don't mind risking their lives a bit for the sake of getting some change in their pockets. {Why did the auctioneer have to throw the women in the elevator like that and why did she have to scream when the indoraptor wasn't even paying them any mind?} When did that happen? He just opened the door and moved a dude out of the way so he could actually take them to another floor. The woman screaming happened because cliche. {The little girl? No she was obnoxious and such a MarySue Ex Machina for most of the films until she becomes the standard helpless screaming child for the films convenience.} And there you have it, the most overused complaint that's so watered down that it barely means anything anymore (even TVTropes admits there's no consensus). Perhaps instead of throwing out buzz words that have next to no meaning, you could actually explain what makes her a shit character. The film not doing anything about her being a clone aside from her decision to free the dinosaurs at the end? The bit where her grandpa apparently knew John Hammond pretty well and wasn't mentioned because of the horrible thing he did (making a clone of his own daughter)? Her seeing a thing happening and not being believed about it until they do so offscreen? Also, she's like 12. Even the girl from the Jurassic Park movie closed the car door in that T-Rex scene, so I don't see why a little girl scared out of her wits wouldn't be running from a genetically-modified dinosaur, screaming her head off while trying to hide in her bed. If she was fighting it off like she was Laura Kinney from Logan, that would actually be befitting of a Mary Sue proclamation in my opinion. {I think they should do a crossover and have this be the Origin of little Laura Croft. It would be a better twist than OMG she's a clone.} Laura Croft... what did the girl do in this film that was remotely related to Laura Croft (aside from the random dinosaurs)? You'll have to forgive me, I've never played or seen anything related to Tomb Raider. Also, I don't see why this whole clone thing is such a big deal. It explains why John Hammond never mentioned Benjamin Lockwood (aside from being a character who was only introduced in this movie), and it sort of deals with the themes and ideas of this movie. Should dinosaurs be left to exist like any other endangered species, or be left to die like destiny intended? Is it humane to propagate something's existence by making a clone of it, human or otherwise? Essentially, what I'm saying is that if Pokemon the First Movie can do it, I don't see why the Jurassic Park series can't do the same (though it's clear that the latter didn't do as well in exploring it as the former). {This is the worst Jurassic film in my opinion.} Well, at least you're not saying that Jurassic Park III is the worst movie ever because it decided to have the Spinosaurus kill off the T-Rex due to advancements in Paleontology revealing that the latter is more of a scavenger rather than the full-on predator that the former turned out to be.
SuperStachey eightnineeightnine 1st least we can agree on the cringy nerd. Why couldn't he have got taken out. The Lara Croft reference is just a dumb joke about a little British girl who's the daughter of a rich dead father who climbs ahit and fights Dinosaurs like she did in the original PlayStation game. I think a better twist would have been when she first met the Indoraptor it imprinted on her or something. Don't know how long it was around but it would have been a neat twist if they woke it up for the auction with BD Wong's character still arguing about it not having a mother, something distracting them, and the first thing it saw was her and it ends up protecting her from Eli ( was that his name?) and his men.
tmoney360 {1st least we can agree on the cringy nerd.} Yeah, at first I thought "Well, he's okay... nope, nope, now he's getting on my nerves." Then he tranq'd Henry Wu and I went "Well that was undeserved!" I felt like it would've gone better if we actually saw the stuff he did when the hunter dude took him away, and actually develop a bit as a character; then him tranq'ing Wu would've felt more deserved. I mean, when Lester the Unlikely has better character development than your comic relief character, you know you have problems. "I think a better twist would have been when she first met the Indoraptor it imprinted on her or something.} Huh. It could serve as a subversion of expectations, since the whole "She needs to imprint off Blue!" thing is never brought up in the story again after it's mentioned once, but wouldn't that come off as Mary Sue-ish?... Better yet, to you, what is a Mary Sue?
Sicario 2, Escape Plan 2, The Domestics, Dark River, and the new Jessica Chastain/Sam Rockwell romance flick are all coming out this week (which so happen to come out on my birthday, June 29). 😊
I’m really surprised about how much people despise this movie when the box office and overall media reception is good. I have a feeling it doing so well overseas gave it Teflon skin... if it’d hit America first poor word of mouth would’ve made it DOA. Kind of hoping this thing just drops off now, since it’s made it’s money already.
You got lucky for trailers. You got Spider-Verse, which looks awesome. We got Grinch for our animated film, which looks awful. Edit: ouch, you also got Grinch. But you still got Spider-Verse.
Wes Papes I got Grinch and Meg. Meg didn't seem to be well written, but seeing that huge shark (even if it's cgi) in XD made me go "nope" and consider going out for snacks.
f they wanted to commit to the ending of all the free dinos, there should have been a montage of them destroying a nearby town. All the carnivores eating innocent children and family pets. The herbivores destroying people's houses and trampling people in cars. All while playing the iconic Jurassic Park music.
Ron Howard's daughter is in this movie, and Ron Howard's brother was in Carnosaur.
It's all connected.
Dinoverse
HollyBlueAgitated That's an awesome book series by the way
Oh, my bad. While Carnosaur is based off a book, I was talking about the Dinoverse joke HollyBlueAgitated was talking about. Dinoverse is an actual book series about a nerd who creates a machine for a science fair, only for it to transport him and several other students back in time to the Jurassic era and into the body of dinosaurs, where they have to figure out how to get back home. The first two books are a lot of fun. Have to read the third through sixth books again as they're a little bit different.
you know this movie needed Don Knotts running away scared as he is Clint Howard's distant cousin
And Colin almost directed star wars and Ron did direct star wars
This movie was so stupid I was shocked Chris Pratt didn't end up sliding down the t rex's tail like fred flintstone
A. W. Hahaha
Wait for the extended Blu-Ray edition.
Batman and Robin crossover
“YeeeeYabbaa Dabbaaa Dooooo!!!!!”
That's the next movie. Yabba dabba doo!
“There’s dumb, and there is hiring a flat-earther to teach a science class” words of wisdom from brad jones
9:20 That's because Colin Trevorrow has admitted that this film only served as a set-up for the Jurassic Park film he always wanted to make - the dinosaurs on the mainland, or the full realisation of the second third act of The Lost World that Spielberg couldn't do back then.
"Fallen Kingdom is like getting a Flat-Earther to teach as Science class" - Brad Jones
Haha am I the only one that loves the original Jurassic Park but still find the sequels entertaining? No sequel will top the original but I still enjoyed both Jurassic World films.
This was literally just Jurassic Park fanfiction, right down to the scientists making OC dinosaurs and holding a character auction.
"This is my dinosona, Indoraptor she has all the powers of a trex and a velocoraptor. she is all black and has a gold stripe and an IQ of 300 so she will only atttack people when you point a lazer on them and press a button so she will be nice to you only if you dont get on her... bad side. PM me for pricing. Paypal accepeted"
TheSkullKid I'll just take a plain Triceratops...thanks.
When that Raptor smiled TWICE.......LMAO WTF lol
"Hiring a flat earther to teach in a science class"...I didn't see that coming, was great. Maybe Brad could review the Concave Earth "documentary" in snob character.
Evil army guy pulled out a Donald Trump line, "you nasty woman"
A dinosaur only costs 40 million dollars
Zero chance of any of the main characters dying.
After this movie, they should just drop the facade of adding to the JURASSIC PARK "legacy" and just make an live-action DINO-RIDERS film. It will be dumb, but like you said, it could be the "good" kind of dumb.
PS- the only thing I got out of this film was secretly hoping the Mosasaurus cameos in THE MEG.
I'd pay top dollar to see that!
MikeMcGTV It was in pre-production, but it was canned since they thought they couldn't compete against the Jurassic World Series.
I'm betting they're firing it back up after this disaster
+Von Shroom Part of me looks forward to it. Part of me dreads it. Because how Hollywood loves to ruin childhoods.
Blue shouldn't be endearing. She's still eating people in this movie. It's just luck that they're all villains.
Exactly. I thought it was a good decision they continued to portray her as a wild animal that was once tamed and partly trained (from early age), but is still a wild animal. I liked that she had enough of an emotional attachment to her old human buddy to help out a few times. Possibly the main dino heroine of this installment.
How in the hell does a blood transfusion between 2 different species work based on whether they have 2-3 fingers or not? I can't even get blood from my own mother because we're a different blood type. Just one of many, many stupid moments in this movie.
Phil Furney Something something frog DNA yada yada regen like a lizard blah blah technobabble, etc...
Of course! Don't you know how to science!?
I agree with Sarah, I didnt hate it
because the movie didnt make me feel anything
Man, when wil Carnosaur the Risen Kingdom come? It'll be the religious reboot of the Carnosaur series.
it came out in 1999 and it has hte plot to aliens
If and when it comes out, it will likely star Kevin Sorbo being an atheist professor who hates God who writes books with Hercules in the title who gets hit by a car-sized carnosaur and miraculously survives. Following it, he wears colorful clothing, gets baptized by a discount Joe Pesci, builds a war room, and goes on Hannity to discuss terrorist carnosaurs and promote his light event that raises awareness in boys of "what it means to be a man." Surely a Dove Foundation hit.
I think it’s just a scientific fact no Jurassic Park sequel will ever match the lightning in a bottle that was that first movie. Even Michael Crichton couldn’t write a good sequel to the book. Yeah I said it The Lost World was just a cash grab book
And the book is even better. Seriously any fans of the first movie should also read the book. They're both great though.
mokinokaro
The book is a string of pseudoscience bubbling with one-dimensional characters. The movie is so much better.
RisingVictor funny you meantioned it, James Cameron was interested in doing it but Spielberg beat him to it. He got the rights before him. He said he would've done something similar to Aliens probably.
I kinda like 3, but yeah, every JP sequel is exceptionally mediocre. But FK, absolute pits. Its to JP what Covenant is to Alien
*Pretends to be shocked* oH NOOo!
In an ethical standpoint, after seeing the dinosaur auction scene, I would've let the dinosaurs die on that island, even when the dinosaurs were suffocating I would've let them die, because there's no way they could live in the outside world in the current age of humans. They'll end up killing people or cause untold amounts of damage, it'll pretty much be like The Lost World, but much worse. Plus, the way how the volcano was tearing itself apart, I kinda expected the island to end up like Krakatoa and cause a giant mega-tsunami that not only kills the dinosaurs, but also the humans trying to escape.
ginnrollins211 I actually like this movie because in the novel of the first Jurassic park book there was an ending to it where it seemed liked some of the dinosaurs made it on the mainland and I believe that’s what this movie is setting up for. How humans and dinosaurs can coexist with on another
ginnrollins211 "But our children grew up with dinosaurs!" 😥
Brother Malachai In the words of Dr. Ian Malcolm: "This isn't some species that was obliterated by deforestation, or the building of a dam. Dinosaurs had their shot, and nature selected them for extinction."
ginnrollins211 I was being sarcastic. 😑
Brother Malachai I know.
The JP franchise went from "respectable" to "We're practically doing the asylum's job for them"
Waiting for this for a while.
I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for it, but I actually kind of like this movie, because it was such an unapologetic B-movie.
9:45 No, they portray that as a very bad thing. That's why I'm pumped for the sequel. This movie plays like the prequel to a much more interesting movie, bringing up the ideas of *SPOILERS* bioweapons trafficking, human cloning, and dinosaurs freely roaming the Earth. The movie that I'm envisioning in my head 1) is probably way more creative and interesting than what we will eventually get, and 2) is basically The Road Warrior but with dinosaurs.
I thought it was all right. People shouldn't attack you for liking a movie. :/
SukiNoKoe People attack you for drinking milk. I feel that there are people in society (not many, but a particularly loud and obnoxious minority) who exist to ensure that no one has opinions that contradict their own.
Don't worry, you're not alone. That's the same reason I enjoyed it. But I went in expecting it to be a campy monster movie, so I wasn't disappointed. Yeah, there was a lot of stupid, but it was enjoyably stupid. Like how Blue can now understand and respond meaningfully to complex sentences and the ideas being presented in them. And apparently physics and chemistry. (She's basically a human in a dino body now.) But the action scenes were fun, it got a few laughs out of me and it left me wondering what was going to happen now that dinosaurs are running loose through civilization. I was never bored by it, which is more then I can say for the last several Transformer movies or the last jedi.
It’s okay to like absolute garbage.
Yeah, some of those vegans are batshit insane. xD. Ikr, it's so childish but those loud, obnoxious people seem to only be brave enough to post online where they can hide behind a screen. You never see them out in the real world. lol
I thought I was the only one that really didn't like this movie. I don't think it is horrible for everyone but for me I was miserable sitting in the theater on a Sunday morning. It was so boring to me because it is so damn predictable and has the worst ending because it was coming and you knew it was coming because they had to do it. Not to mention that I had a little shit behind me in the theater kicking my seat. That was just the icing on the crap show.
ItsSoDane I had an asshole that kept looking at his phone with his bright af screen! Dammit, that shit is distracting! It better be an emergency doing that!
You know what, I really dug Jurassic World and I... enjoyed this movie. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great.
It did feel like the dinosaurs were fucking with people at some points. I half expected the Raptor to wink at us or go "Yoshi!"
Man this movie, I wanted to like it soooo bad, it had the bones of being something really good with good moral/ethical ramifications but instead they went with the " Dinursaurs are living beings and should be set fweeee!" and man is it all kinds of wrong. It seemed to be so hung up on pushing an agenda it forgot to be entertaining. The concept was THERE, but it got so lost. Also the anthropomorphism of the dinosaurs got so silly at some points it was like " Whut?"
*-SPOILERS-*
That one brachiosaur actually kinda' had me laughing up to a point " Like, dudes! Seriously, hold the boat! I'm coming but I've got these stumpy legs! Shit, c'mon yer not seriously gonna leave me?....oh....okay then..." And that whole scene was so clearly emotionally manipulative I felt annoyed at it...and sad, but it was clearly just meant to make you feel guilty.
I was seriously hoping they would kill off all the dinosaurs at the end, it would have had so much more of an impact and really drive home the idea of how wrong it is to create living organisms for sheer profit. But nope, they had to add in a stupid kid releasing them into the wild to do untold amounts of damaged to the ecosystem and yanno' hundreds of people senselessly killed because....reasons? Like...why? " They're like me!" No...no stupid kid, they're not. They admitted in the first one these things aren't even real dinosaurs, they're manufactured to people's expectations and not even the actual thing....
( Edited because I forgot to read before I posted and repeated myself a few times, XD )
{They admitted in the first one these things aren't even real dinosaurs, they're manufactured to people's expectations and not even the actual thing....}
So the "stupid kid", who was actually a clone of some rich dude's daughter, is _not_ "manufactured to [his] expectations and not even the actual thing"? I find that very hard to believe.
She may be, but the thing is, she's not a dinosaur, saying " But they're alive like me" is a stupid reason. Plenty of things are "alive" but that doesn't mean they should be displaced into a situation they didn't ask for where they can cause untold amounts of damage and possible deaths, including their own. So yeah, she was a stupid kid for doing that. Also there is, as of this movie, no indication she's anything but a clone.
{She may be, but the thing is, she's not a dinosaur, saying " But they're alive like me" is a stupid reason.}
No, but she is a clone. Like they are. Considering that the only alternative is death, it makes sense that she did that. It may not be a smart thing to do, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that kids do dumb things all the time (remember that person who closed that car door in front of the T-Rex in the first movie? Oh yeah, she was a kid, too).
{Also there is, as of this movie, no indication she's anything but a clone.}
Yes, she's a clone. What's your point?
You seemed to be indicating that she was more than just a clone, a clone is a replica of a person, not an altered human being, that would be something else. You also seem to be taking offense to the fact I called her stupid, she is stupid, and pretty much criminal. Her reasoning doesn't negate what she did, as in potentially causing the deaths of hundreds of people and the extinction of the native fauna/flora in the area. Your argument is basically the same sort of thing you see with people who argue against culling non-native species. Don't get me wrong, I love animals, but I also understand that Burmese pythons don't belong in Florida, or feral cats in Australia. We put them there, its our fault, and its tragic that they are being killed because of our mistakes. If the movie had put an emphasis on that, it would have been more forgivable.
The dinosaurs, by the way, are not clones specifically, because, again, they admitted they're not exact replicas of the dinosaurs, hence why they don't look like proper dinosaurs ( I.E. their way of trying to explain the fact their dinosaurs are in no way accurate to what we now know they look like) They're more Frankenstein's monsters based on dinosaurs.
Anyhow, I'm text walling over the intelligence of not real clone people and movie dinosaurs, it is time, as they say, to stop *floats away*
"You seemed to be indicating that she was more than just a clone, a clone is a replica of a person, not an altered human being, that would be something else."
Yes, but she's still a morally objectionable existence; a facsimile of a dead person who only exists to live out the glory days of some old dude's memories of being a father. It doesn't matter _what_ she's made of, all that matters is _why_ she exists.
"You also seem to be taking offense to the fact I called her stupid, she is stupid, and pretty much criminal."
Okay, she's stupid and a criminal. So what? Pretty sure we're gonna get into it in the next movie, so why bitch about it like the movie glossed over this point, when _Ian Malcolm himself is saying this was a bad thing to do?_
"Your argument is basically the same sort of thing you see with people who argue against culling non-native species."
... No. The "argument" being made is that if it comes to a decision of letting the last Burmese Pythons in Florida get poisoned to death, and letting them go free, it makes sense for the 12-year-old kid who likes snakes to pull the lever that sets them free. I'm not saying that her reasons are justified (and I'd appreciate it if you didn't shovel shit I didn't say into my mouth, thank you very much), just that it makes sense why she did it.
"If the movie had put an emphasis on that, it would have been more forgivable."
Did you just walk out the theater at that point and miss the part where Ian Malcolm condemns the action, the geneticists getting more samples, the Mosasaurus eating that surfer dude, or Blue looking over a suburban valley? The film focuses plenty on that.
"The dinosaurs, by the way, are not clones specifically, because, again, they admitted they're not exact replicas of the dinosaurs, hence why they don't look like proper dinosaurs"
Yes, they are not pure facsimiles of dinosaurs. However, they are genetic recreations of what people think of when they imagine dinosaurs, which still uses the same process needed to create a dinosaur. That's like saying that a fraternal twin isn't a twin just because it's identical, even though they were still born within minutes of each other.
"They're more Frankenstein's monsters based on dinosaurs."
To create a real-life clone, you take a somatic cell of the mother, then place it inside the mother's ovum (this is a simplified description of how Dolly the sheep came to be in 436 attempts). In Jurassic Park, they took the DNA from a protein sample of a fossil, the blood of a mosquito that existed near the same time (filling in the remaining code with other organisms), placed the DNA in an Ostrich egg, and it would work 1 in a 1000 times.
It doesn't matter if they're perfect or accurate, the point is that they took some DNA and made something out of it that people in general think they look like (and the audience response of Jurassic Park III can tell you all about how people would respond if the clones were actually accurate...).
"This isn't good dumb!"
great line, nailed it
I actually found this movie to be an enjoyable B picture. Its nothing great, I feel its miles better than most of the previous entry, and I felt entertained. I'm in Omni Viewer's camp on this, its a popcorn creature feature, very akin to something from the 50's or 60's. No much substance, just a lot of dinosaurs and action. It was worth 5 bucks in my opinion
"they are alive... Like me" well the prisoner in jail also are alive but that dosen't mean they need to be free. The ending was so stupid, why anyone get mad with the little girl? She commdem the rest of the people to live with dangerous dinosaurs
Nicolas Reversat they are alive. And they tried to kill her just moments before. Yeah, it made no sense. We can assume hundreds of people will die right ? Those deaths will be on her.
Nicolas Reversat I was pissed off at her, yes.
Every time a dinosaur killed someone I would sit her in front of the news story or paper and make her read it. Then I would say "They were alive... like you. And now they are dead because of you."
Amy Brown I wish they would do that, but they don't have the balls or brains to do that in Hollywood. Plus ppl would go "ohmigerdmahfeelins" about it.
Around 28:30 the album Brad's talking about is Simpsons Sing the Blues, and the best song on it is Homer's cover of Born Under a Bad Sign.
it was a Brachiosaurus. first dinosaur seen on Isla Nublar and the last seen on it.
I was kinda hoping the stinger at the end after blue on the ridge was her running through suburbia and getting a steady job somewhere then serving people over the counter of some store.. then she like applies to college get her nursing degree starts a family buys a house.. you know the usual.
13:31 that scene was a metaphor for the series as a whole.
Can’t wait to see the reaction to Uncle Drew
Humanity is doomed because of clone sympathies? Okay
The movie never seemed to counter Ian Malcolm's speech about leaving dinosaurs alone, but no, we gotta save em for arbitrary reasons
I think his final speech, over shots of what is inevitably going to happen now, only further proved him right. But that was the exact point they were making.
ZemplinTemplar Still, considering how small the gene pool is, those dinos are going to be "Wrong Turn" inbred af.
Krishna Nadoli I
Thy used parts of the script of the unmade Jurassic Park 4 that had human dinosaur hybrids.
It's not just dumb but pointless, nothing happens, it feels like they are on the island for five minutes and then the stupid rich mansion. It's a rip-off of lost World but done so much worse.
Blue is intended to the be the only like-able character in either film but other than that, no this one was dumb. Previous one needed to go over the top but this one was a cartoon.
The Lost World is still the only good one.
Just looking at Brad, I know this is gonna be a fun time!
I wanted to see a bunch of dinosaurs tear shit up, and I got that. So I was fine with it. Totally understand someone who didn't have fun with it tho
This movie definitely had a lot of problems but I actually weirdly enjoyed this more than Jurassic World because it doesn’t have the cynical tone of that movie.
It's a popcorn movie. Something Corman would make if he had a $100,000,000 budget.
11:41
So it's the Die Another Day of the franchise?
this movie was absolutely awful and I loved every minute of it.
So, Brad... do you think this is worse than Wrinkle in Time?
12:30
I was almost expecting to learn they had mixed Dino DNA or Raptor blood with Maisie's, given they had those 'intense eye-looking' moments in-camera.
After the video: ...WOW. I actually liked it because of how nuts it was. This review was amazing though!
The Simpsons album with "Deep Deep Trouble" was Simpsons Sing the Blues. Also had Mr. Burns rapping on "Look at All Those Idiots." A factory full of fools!
Also... were you thinking of Uncle Drew?
I'm just waiting for a Midnight Screenings thumbnail to have *sigh* expressions only for the review to start with "This movie is fucking awesome!"
There’s that shot at the end when Blue jumps out of the window as the room behind her explodes and it’s fucking hilarious. Had the rest of the movie been as goddamn dumb as that, I’d of loved it. But nope. This was awful.
When I went to go see Deadpool 2 at the AMC theater, there were bumpers of The Grinch coming in back and fourth whenever a trailer finished.
My Robin Hood will always be either a fox or Cary Elwes.
Re: The "death" of the dinosaurs on the dock and it supposing to be "sad." I take to Sarah's indifference to it, and feel the same way. I feel like Chandler from "Friends" when he admits to not finding the death of Bambi's mom sad. To quote him, "Yes it was really sad when the guy stopped drawing the deer."
I'm with Brad on this one, if I ever get high enough that I decide to watch this, it'll be only so that I can see Blue again.
During the beginning scene on the island with the storm, where the guy turns around and sees the T-Rex and starts running for his life, I leaned over to my husband and whispered "You mean this island full of dinosaurs... has DINOSAURS?" My audience was not particularly riff-receptive, but I do recommend everyone see this with drunk friends and rip the crap out of it.
I kind of feel obligated to see any of these movies since the first movie came out the year I was born, even if none of these sequels are any good.
Is cinema snob reviewing the Jurassic World movies?
Velociraptors on motorcycles.
What happen to Shot on Shito?
I already knew this movie would suck. The original Jurassic Park will ALWAYS be the best.
20:25 So the Creed 2 trailer part of the video is my highlight. XD
I call it The Venom Snake Effect. Where a franchise has deviated so far from its roots that the branding stops making sense. And the things that connect it to the previous entries (such as cameos) become surreal.
(Those that have played Metal Gear Solid 5 will know why I called it that)
17:32 every Jurassic Park/World movie has had kids in the movie
I understand not liking this film, I don't understand the pure and unadulterated hatred from some or the pure love it gets from some others. The film was an average popcorn film that falls falt in the third act. I personally liked the built up and think the scenes on the island are pretty good, especially the underwater scene was pretty intense. I also liked the relationship between Claire and Owen in this one way more than in Jurassic World, especially because I actually believed there was something between them this time. For me that's mostly thanks to Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, the latter one I didn't like in the first one, but I really liked her and especially the two of them together in this one. I also think the directing and the effects were amazing. Call me easily to manipulate but that makes it better than "garbage" in my book. And I also liked how Rexy was actually indimidating again and how Blue was used to show that these are still animals and not just some killing machine monsters. I also liked the reveal regarding the clone and the general moral condunrum the film tries to bring up.
And yes, there are a lot of problems with the film. Like I said, the third act falls flat. At first it's a fun dino-adventure which could go somewhere pretty interesting - but in the end it does not. While I think that auctioning off dinosaurs to the highest bidder and trying to exploit them for war would be something that we as a species would certainly do, the way its protrayed here is laughable. They clearly had no idea how to handle it - serious political and social commentry or satire? Thriller or action adventure comedy or animal horror? Even worse, nothing is ever addressed. The clone aspect should have been a major reveal and a major plot point in the film, but it's not, leaving the affected character as a useless side-kick. The villains might have had potential, alone due to their actors, but the script never did anything with them. The entire idea of having the auction had that estate was ridiculous. And at the end when the decision has to be made if the dinos are supposed to survive or not, there's no debate either. And that sucks, it sucks hard.
I really enjoyed the first two acts. I didn't think this was going to be better than the first two films, and I'll always defend The Lost World as a totally underrated film, but at least it was on the track on being better than Jurassic World. But the end kinda ruined the film for me. I still wouldn't say it's a bad film due to the aspects I mentioned beforehand, but damn, it had so much potential for more. If I had to rate the film, I'd give it a 6 or a 6.5 out of 10 or a C, with Jurassic World getting 7/10 or a B-. Jurassic Park 3 is still the worst in the franchise for me, only getting 5/10 and with that a D+, while The Lost World gets 8/10 or a B+ and the original gets 9.5/10 or an A+.
I know, long post, but I had to get that off my chest.
PS: Since Brad brought up flat earthers - the film has a jab at creationists in it if you have caught it.
Hi Cinema snob it's me Logan i was at Comic-Con with my dad he was cosplaying as trunks and i was goku if you remember i asked you to review jurassic world fallen kingdom if you remember me but thanks for reviewing jurassic world fallen kingdom i may not agree with all your thoughts but its still a good video thanks😁😁😁😁☺
I wonder how much Brad hates this movie. 4:05
Mortal Engines was based on a book. It was young adulty... not great but an inoffensive read with a colorful, novel post-apocalyptic setting.
Jurassic Park as series has always had a problem with the "sympathy for the dinosaurs" thing. On the one hand, yes, they are just animals, and aren't really evil. On the other hand, the entire point of the series is that any sustained human interaction leads to incredible violence. You can't tell me to feel sad when humans want to kill the genetically-modified murder machines that absolutely, positively, cannot live peacefully with humans.
I thought Jurassic World was okay. Wasn't anything stellar about it but it wasn't terrible.
First trailer I saw for Fallen Kingdom was during Black Panther and it looked good. I thought "Oh, they're gonna play with the setting for the second movie. Okay." Then I saw the final trailer and it looked awful. Like they were gonna do a whole bunch of stupid crap. Kinda sad to hear that I was right.
If you remember the Jurassic Park comic books from Topps Comics and look at it from that perspective, it's easier to see where this film's plot came from. Those comic books had a drug lord named Rafael who wanted to buy the raptors and make them his attack dogs, and crazy things like natives worshipping the raptors, Muldoon coming back to life, and InGen and BioSyn literally at war with each other. And with all this crazy stuff happening, still continuing the thread of ethics and chaos theory from the novel and movie.
Trevorrow is definitely pulling from everything in the JP canon, especially the comic books, for the JW films. The idea of auctioning the dinosaurs off in a giant mansion to weapons dealers could've easily been done in the comics. And in the age of comic book movies, it's easy to see why Trevorrow and Universal went that route.
I enjoyed jurassic world, but this movie was much, much worse. It's pretty bad.
In a time where asking "Is this Jurassic Park movie better or worse than Carnosaur" isn't an ironic question.
So how do you compare Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom to Alien: Covenant?
So I should watch Carnosaur 2 instead? Cool.
Can someone explain to me how the dinosaur knew what a sleep dart is and what it does, to then pretend to be under its effects? I still can't wrap my head around that.
Leandro Pontes duh the doctor gave it lessons on all weapons An shots . And the Dino has a degree in ass kicking lol
Or it just a lot b.s
Why wasn't she part raptor though? She did a raptor move in the beginning.
ThatMissQuin Who knows, maybe that's a twist for the next film. 😥
I kept expecting her eyes would turn yellow whenever there was a closeup of her! And at the same time praying they wouldn't sink that low in the stupidity! That was the only tension I felt in the whole movie!
I felt like they should have gone full stupid instead of.....whatever this flick was.
Box office: $1.246 billion
Budget: $170-187 million
so get ready for more crap movies
I wonder why they never brought the dilophosaurus back, that was one of the best parts of one. I also called that the kid was a clone like 5 minutes after seeing her.
Most people seemed to think this was way better than the first one but I thought the opposite. I really really enjoyed the 2015 movie but this new one fell flat to me.
I liked it, but I also liked the previous one.
I actually disagree. The movie was DUMB, and made no sense, but that's I was enjoyed about it, strangely. I also thought it was better made then the first.
The only time I found the comic relief funny is when he suddenly just showed up as a lab assistant. I want to know how the hell that happened!
Can't help but laugh and facepalm because YES... I have both of those Simpsons albums sitting in my car as of this minute ( titled "The Simpsons Sing the Blues" & "The Yellow Album") ....Right next to my Buckman & Garcia album.
I REGRET NOTHING. lol.
Speaking of Flat-earthers. I don't know why, but they were the last people I expected to comment on the First Man trailer. I don't know why, but they should have been the first people I expected.
Jurassic World 2 The Clip Show!
I was up at 3am to work, worked an 11 hour day on top of it and went to see this afterward. Normally under those conditons, if nothing keeps my interest and bores me, I'll fall asleep. This may not be the best ever, and I know fully well that no Jurassic sequel will touch the first one, but it didnt anger me as much. A few improvements over the first of the new Jurassic World series and of course a few things that shouldnt have happened, but it kept me entertained enough to keep me dozing off in the middle of it. Notevensorry 😊
My scoring of the franchise:
1. Jurassic Park
2. The Lost World
3. Fallen Kingdom
T4. Jurassic Park 3
T4. Jurassic World
Did you stay for the end credits scene?
I agree with the point that Chris Stuckmann made in his review which is that why couldn't they just put the dinosaurs in site B, Isla Sorna? Because that is canon. I bet they'll do that in the end of the second one, tranquilize all of the surviving dinosaurs and transport them there. (Why do I think that Owen has to kill Blue at the end of the third film because she's turned into a savage killer, which she's always been but restrained and that is going to be the sad moment?) (This film was a franchise-killer for me. I grew up watching the Jurassic Park-films, they are the reason why I love films nowadays and would eventually start making my own/help others make their and I have liked them all, in someways at least. All the predecessors have had the sense of awe, adventure, tension and memorable characters of which this film completely lacks of. This film made me care A LOT more for the dinosaurs than the people I'm following.
If they did a sad shot of the pier with a vicious carnivore, I would have respected the movie more.
aliasocfan They did that because the Brachiosaur was the first dino seen in Jurassic Park.
i didnt mind this movie so much until the end. that "fight" scene was shot way too dark and stretched itself out way too long. i almost fell asleep at the end.
The moment the two millennial comic relief characters showed up, I knew this movie was garbage.
DarylPell God, fucking Milennial Hipsters. Ugh.
Michael Anderson Who was a "dino expert" and yet was never around an actual dino prior to her trip to the island? And somehow did a successful surgery despite a lack of experience, gear, and a blood transfusion from an unrelated (or very distant) creature? I mean, we couldn't get a blood transfusion from a chimp or a human with an incompatible blood type, so wtf?
I wanted the tech guy to die the minute they got to the island
Jas Chaffin He was annoying, but at least he wasn't an arrogant asshole. Which the veterinarian was.
28:40 Speaking of Simpsons and "Deep Deep Trouble", I have that song on vinyl XDD
I think the title you're looking for is "Sword of Plot". ;)
I hated this movie. Jurrasic Park is my third favorite movie of all time. Hell the T-rex breakout scene from it his my favorite movie scene ever. Even the other one I get a decent amount of enjoyment from even though I know they aren't good films. But this one pissed me off. The first third was fine but the final two thirds was terrible. The film is full of so many unrealistic reactions and scenarios it becomes a joke to watch. How the he'll does nobody check that truck that just jumped into the boat despite the entire hull having people In it? How is there basically zero security in the hull full of precious Dinos except one guy saying "doors open a bit nothing suspicious here. How the fuck do you not scan to make sure the damn Mosausaurus isn't still alive in the lake before going in? know Why did the auctioneer have to throw the women in the elevator like that and why did she have to scream when the indoraptor wasn't even paying them any mind? I know these films have to have some moments of "what were they thinking" to work but this? This entire movie hinges on it way to damn much. Than you have the dumbest and most unlikeable group of side characters in any Of these films. Other than Claire and Owen who do you care about? The little girl? No she was obnoxious and such a MarySue Ex Machina for most of the films until she becomes the standard helpless screaming child for the films convenience. I think they should do a crossover and have this be the Origin of little Laura Croft. It would be a better twist than OMG she's a clone. This is the worst Jurassic film in my opinion.
Additionally how am I supposed to be scared or nervous about this Dinosaur killing people when the vast majority were either bad guys or so incomprehensibly stupid? In the Previous films you had tension because in addition to the main characters you had innocent people in the path of these creatures. Here the only real character you have some sympathy for is the guy who was Eaton on the helicopter ladder and the old man who wasn't even killed by a dinosaur. Everyone else killed were either bad guys or characters part of the illegal auction. Hard to care when so many characters are the type audiences are routing for getting killed.
{How the he'll does nobody check that truck that just jumped into the boat despite the entire hull having people In it?}
I dunno, the veterinarian chick would probably vouch for them like she did that cringy dude, and they'd do the blood transfusion thing a lot easier.
{How is there basically zero security in the hull full of precious Dinos except one guy saying "doors open a bit nothing suspicious here.}
Would adding more people really be that much of a boon? The script would just be written so that they'd be able to evade them regardless of the number, which would just make them look more incompetent than they already are.
{How the fuck do you not scan to make sure the damn Mosausaurus isn't still alive in the lake before going in?}
You don't think they already knew that going in? Dinosaurs can live a long time. Plus, the fact they did this to begin with implies they don't mind risking their lives a bit for the sake of getting some change in their pockets.
{Why did the auctioneer have to throw the women in the elevator like that and why did she have to scream when the indoraptor wasn't even paying them any mind?}
When did that happen? He just opened the door and moved a dude out of the way so he could actually take them to another floor. The woman screaming happened because cliche.
{The little girl? No she was obnoxious and such a MarySue Ex Machina for most of the films until she becomes the standard helpless screaming child for the films convenience.}
And there you have it, the most overused complaint that's so watered down that it barely means anything anymore (even TVTropes admits there's no consensus). Perhaps instead of throwing out buzz words that have next to no meaning, you could actually explain what makes her a shit character.
The film not doing anything about her being a clone aside from her decision to free the dinosaurs at the end?
The bit where her grandpa apparently knew John Hammond pretty well and wasn't mentioned because of the horrible thing he did (making a clone of his own daughter)?
Her seeing a thing happening and not being believed about it until they do so offscreen?
Also, she's like 12. Even the girl from the Jurassic Park movie closed the car door in that T-Rex scene, so I don't see why a little girl scared out of her wits wouldn't be running from a genetically-modified dinosaur, screaming her head off while trying to hide in her bed. If she was fighting it off like she was Laura Kinney from Logan, that would actually be befitting of a Mary Sue proclamation in my opinion.
{I think they should do a crossover and have this be the Origin of little Laura Croft. It would be a better twist than OMG she's a clone.}
Laura Croft... what did the girl do in this film that was remotely related to Laura Croft (aside from the random dinosaurs)? You'll have to forgive me, I've never played or seen anything related to Tomb Raider.
Also, I don't see why this whole clone thing is such a big deal. It explains why John Hammond never mentioned Benjamin Lockwood (aside from being a character who was only introduced in this movie), and it sort of deals with the themes and ideas of this movie. Should dinosaurs be left to exist like any other endangered species, or be left to die like destiny intended? Is it humane to propagate something's existence by making a clone of it, human or otherwise?
Essentially, what I'm saying is that if Pokemon the First Movie can do it, I don't see why the Jurassic Park series can't do the same (though it's clear that the latter didn't do as well in exploring it as the former).
{This is the worst Jurassic film in my opinion.}
Well, at least you're not saying that Jurassic Park III is the worst movie ever because it decided to have the Spinosaurus kill off the T-Rex due to advancements in Paleontology revealing that the latter is more of a scavenger rather than the full-on predator that the former turned out to be.
SuperStachey eightnineeightnine 1st least we can agree on the cringy nerd. Why couldn't he have got taken out. The Lara Croft reference is just a dumb joke about a little British girl who's the daughter of a rich dead father who climbs ahit and fights Dinosaurs like she did in the original PlayStation game. I think a better twist would have been when she first met the Indoraptor it imprinted on her or something. Don't know how long it was around but it would have been a neat twist if they woke it up for the auction with BD Wong's character still arguing about it not having a mother, something distracting them, and the first thing it saw was her and it ends up protecting her from Eli ( was that his name?) and his men.

{1st least we can agree on the cringy nerd.}
Yeah, at first I thought "Well, he's okay... nope, nope, now he's getting on my nerves." Then he tranq'd Henry Wu and I went "Well that was undeserved!" I felt like it would've gone better if we actually saw the stuff he did when the hunter dude took him away, and actually develop a bit as a character; then him tranq'ing Wu would've felt more deserved. I mean, when Lester the Unlikely has better character development than your comic relief character, you know you have problems.
"I think a better twist would have been when she first met the Indoraptor it imprinted on her or something.}
Huh. It could serve as a subversion of expectations, since the whole "She needs to imprint off Blue!" thing is never brought up in the story again after it's mentioned once, but wouldn't that come off as Mary Sue-ish?...
Better yet, to you, what is a Mary Sue?
I was hoping for a dumb B-movie and that's what I got. I'm not sure if I am happy about this.
Brad in this video reminds me of Mark from Fanboyflicks' review on Jurrasic World and Jurrasic World fallen kingdom
Another great review and I'm glad that I get to support your new movie.
Sicario 2, Escape Plan 2, The Domestics, Dark River, and the new Jessica Chastain/Sam Rockwell romance flick are all coming out this week (which so happen to come out on my birthday, June 29). 😊
I’m really surprised about how much people despise this movie when the box office and overall media reception is good. I have a feeling it doing so well overseas gave it Teflon skin... if it’d hit America first poor word of mouth would’ve made it DOA. Kind of hoping this thing just drops off now, since it’s made it’s money already.
You got lucky for trailers.
You got Spider-Verse, which looks awesome.
We got Grinch for our animated film, which looks awful.
Edit: ouch, you also got Grinch. But you still got Spider-Verse.
if the Grinch is not Krampus's son I will be upset
Wes Papes Grinch looks terrible. Spider-Verse should be good.
Wes Papes I got Grinch and Meg. Meg didn't seem to be well written, but seeing that huge shark (even if it's cgi) in XD made me go "nope" and consider going out for snacks.
Brother Malachai The Meg looks so bad. When I got the trailer in front of Avengers, I laughed and cringed.

*Jurassic Park theme plays*
I like to think this movie is actually a prequel to Yor: Hunter From the Future.
f they wanted to commit to the ending of all the free dinos, there should have been a montage of them destroying a nearby town. All the carnivores eating innocent children and family pets. The herbivores destroying people's houses and trampling people in cars.
All while playing the iconic Jurassic Park music.
