Review Of The Movie "Jurassic World."

[ROGER4314]

Bonnie couldn't go to the show so I caught this one by myself. The movie had lots of action, new killer critters with cunning and plenty of "Oh Shit!" moments!

I liked the flick and it kept my interest but one thing kept gnawing at me. It was exactly the SAME story as the first version. Sure, they moved a few things around, the faces were different and the critters were hybrid and even more deadly BUT, it was the same damned story line!

Here's the whole plot:
We have a real cool place here that we expect to make lots of money off of. Corporate sponsors are rubbing their greedy hands together.

Oh crap, some stuff is going wrong!

Don't tell anyone (or warn them) or we'll lose lots of money.

Critters begin eating visitors like popcorn.

Prehistoric birds begin carrying off the patrons for a snack.

OK, we gotta kill these critters to save the people!

The good guys win.
=====================

Except for the giant birds munching on the visitors, a bigger, badder, hungry monster with a degree in psychology, it's the same flick as before!

Sure, there was plenty to see and lots to make you pucker your backside but there was very little new here.

Language was under control, there was no sexual content but eating of the Human population was up close and personal. CHOMP, there goes a guy's head and upper torso!

The same bratty, "Know It All" kids were present but with different faces.

I gave the movie a B+. It was a fun way to spend two hours on a rainy day.

I think it was more of a reboot that also appeased the original fan base. I think they succeeded.

Nice review.

The original "Jaws" was done so well, that when the first "Jurrassic Park" and others of that genre were released, there was no "Oh Shit!" moment.

It is very difficult to recreate the jaw-dropping, breath-taking scene of a Great White Shark tearing a fishing boat to pieces.

Be well.

A pretty accurate review of the movie. My wife and I went - she loved it, to me it was ok. Best line: "We're gonna need more teeth."

what was Bonnie doin?

Bonnie lives 25 miles from me and has her own set of friends. Bonnie's (female) friend bought a new car and they had to pick it up. Her sleazy boyfriend somehow jacked with the old car and the security system disabled it. Still, it had to be moved then serviced and sold. That's about all that I know. I try to stay out of that stuff.

What kind of car?

The dead one was a Nisson Ultima 2009. The new one is a Toyota Corolla LE. I just talked to Bonnie who is on the way over here. The lady GAVE the Nisson to her flaky boyfriend (ex con, doper, etc). Women.....geeze.

I thought the movie was ok. I'd watch it again.

The kids are super entitled and it gets them nearly eaten. A number of times they're watching dinosaurs instead of taking cover.

The idiot response team couldn't handle their shit. They know they might have to put down animals right? They are way under gunned. The biggest gun I saw was a lever action 45-70 that the velociraptor guy carried. It was worthless. There was a rocket launcher but it somehow didn't harm the big dinosaur.

When the team track down the big dinosaur they don't start shooting it when they see it up close. Instead they wait for it to talk with the velociraptors until they started eating people. It wouldn't have mattered anyway because the teams weapons were ineffective.

I think the movie was very cool to watch, the people in the movie are idiots and pissed me off.

You're pretty much right on. Went to see it with my wife and son and we enjoyed the hell out of it. It probably appeals to a younger crowd who didn't see the first one in the theater.It's the first time in a long time that I've heard the audience applaud when the movie is over.

It reads here like they stole the script for Westworld and plugged in dinosaurs

Thanks for the review!

It was entertaining, but probably would have been better had I not seen the original. I couldn't empathize with the characters, and didn't care for several scenes at all. Some of the acting was crap, Chris Pratt and his assistant in the movie were the best (didn't really care for the rest). It just wasn't believable enough this time. I wouldn't see it again...

How strange it is that we have multi million Dollar talent and writers but we still keep reheating and serving the same old crap! Sometimes, I think we are like baby birds who turn their open mouths upward and the parent birds stuff disgusting, regurgitated things down our throats.

Jurassic World was a fun flick even though they reheated and served a leftover story.

The movie "SPY" is one of those disgusting things with no redeeming value. Please stay away from that one! It's bad enough that Bonnie and I had to endure that movie.
