I loved the first World but didn't think FK was very good. Still enjoyed it because Dinosaurs but it's definitely one of the worst Jurassic films.

I'm legit curious how carnivores are going to survive out in the wilderness, especially if they encounter police/trigger happy gun owners. Unless these people behave incompetently like the police not shooting at the Buck Tyrannosaurus during his rampage/search for his baby.

But...it's do different. Like, completely different. And much, much stupider.

Yeah, turns out Trevorrow is a really shitty writer when he isn't basically just copying Jurassic Park.

JW1 had four screenwriters, among them Trevorrow and Connolly. The other two were Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, who were also the story writers. FK was all Trevorrow and Connolly. Dominion's screenplay (and Battle At Big Rock's) is by Trevorrow and a co-writer on Pacific Rim: Uprising, with story again by Trevorrow and Connolly.

Do we finally get human dino hybrids?
The ending should be everyone on the planet gets turned into dinos
Now it's Jurassic world

last movie was just awful, I like the first world though

I don't think so.

We might in whatever the next trilogy is, though, maybe depending on what happens in this.

I stand by the original Jurassic World being great and the only good sequel in the series.

Fallen Kingdom is...

JW 1 & 2 were both trash so I dont expect anything different here
like cartoon parody sequels to jurassic park but done in live action instead
the series has just gotten worse every installment after the first one
hey at least its got dat nostalgia going on with the casting
but to be honest if there are dinosaurs to be had I'm probably going to see it, that's just how that works
hopefully they can pinch something out with dialogue that hurts less to listen to
maybe with the dinos loose across the world now things might actually feel a little fresh this go around

I hope this one will have Chris Pratt riding an armored T-Rex into battle.

I mean, why the fuck not. It can't get much stupider than Fallen Kingdom.

Suddenly, I am much less enthusiastic for another Trevorrow film...

Sam Neill needs to just be living his life on a farm, see a Raptor run by, and he just lowers his head and mutters "fucking idiots."

Just film it at his actual home, leave a bag with some money, and you don't need to drag this man into any more nonsense.

I hope they learned what went wrong with Fallen Kingdom because honestly I love the first Jurassic World.

God I hated Fallen Kingdom. I liked the first half but the second half of the movie sucked so bad. It was the same thing with The Lost World, great first half shitty second half. The first Jurassic World I've watched way too many times though. I like the simple premise and it's just a good popcorn flick where I can turn my brain off. Jurassic Park 1 is also top tier.

For a moment I thought Mamoudou Athie got top billing. It's rare to see a movie poster with alphabetical listing.

I actually felt the opposite. The first half was boring but the second half was cool.

I really like the idea behind the next one. Will be interesting to see how far they take it

Both World and Fallen Kingdom were shite. The ending of the latter was particularly galling. This will likely be shite too.

This already sounds like a disaster, way too many returning cast-members. This'll end up pleasing no-one.

I'm going to ignore how Era disproportionately hates these movies compared to every else, cause the disproportionately love David Lynch and I wouldn't take a trade.

But I'm excited for this cast, and I love the poster using an amber version of the logo.

Was Fallen Kingdom any good? Still haven't watched that since I wasn't really a fan of Jurassic World.

Much better than JW. Dumb, very dumb action, but mostly fun, the shitty kids aren't main characters, and the awful gender dynamics of JW are gone, Pratt's got less space to act like a shithead, so yeah, overall a great improvement although obviously still a very dumb roller coaster ride action movie.

2022 is going to be insane. Literally a blockbuster releasing every couple weeks.

Tugging at those nostalgia strings even with the teaser poster.

Hoping for the best, but considering the last movies I'm fearing the absolute worst and a complete waste of Laura Dern, Sam Neill and Goldblum.

Ok, the poster's pretty good.

But I fully expect this movie to be a trash fire, and Alan/Ellie/Ian to be unrecognizable as characters.

No, animal cruelty makes my blood boil.
The dinosaurs did nothing wrong. They're just wild animals trying to survive. They certainly don't deserve to die trapped in a cage, dying painfully from gas.

I mean Animal cruelty is bad...

But by releasing them they let untold number of innocent people die. That is completely and utterly fucked up. I'm sure little Billy getting ripped to shreds by a Dinosaur will be very understanding of why they needed to be freed.

I liked World, but Fallen Kingdom felt like a step back. Here's hoping for a good third act

Can we please get a shot and interactions of all three of the originals together? Please do not Star Wars ST us

We will never know, but I wonder if IX would have been different had Carrie Fischer survived. I know
Han died in VII and Luke died in VIII
before Carrie died IRL but I can't believe that Disney planned to go through the whole trilogy without the original three meeting up. Then again......

There's a hearing held at the end of the movie
announcing that dinosaurs are part of the world now. The dinos likely aren't going to go charging into cities laying siege, they're going to stay in the wilderness. Like if little Billy is going camping in the mountains in the Neo Jurassic Age, then his parents better come loaded for bear.

I might have liked Jurassic World more if not for the insufferable subplot with those two kids. I worked at an AMC in Summer 2018 and saw big sections of Fallen Kingdom several times over and it certainly seemed like the disaster folks say it was. The first was a 6/10; if I saw the full sequel, I'd likely hover around a 3/10.

Not interested in this despite being a huge fan of the original as a kid but I sincerely hope people love it. I mean, why not, right?

The ending of the last film would have have more impact if it wasn't like, twenty dinos, mostly different species. Feel like they'd all be dead within a couple of years.

UnfitTastyAmericanbobtail-max-1mb.gif

Yeah I agree. World was amazing way to continue the story (and a nice throw back to the original). Fallen Kingdom had some nice ideas but failed to land them and was more stuff you see in movies like Fast and Furious, cool but no real sense in why its happening.

I mean they had Jeff sitting on his ass in one of the JW films, I don't hold out much hope they'll do much with others. They aren't good films.
