Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom |OT| The Park is gone [Open Spoilers]
- Thread starter WhiteRabbitEXE
- Start date
- OT
like ten minutes and you've most of it in the trailer and both scenes are at the court
Yup, the second part is easily the best one, as it turns into a real monster-in-the-house type movie, like the ending of JP was. You sense Bayona's experience with these kind of movies to create some cool tense moments, with a lot of visual flair. This isn't a movie as bland as JW by a long mile.
So don't let the negative reactions influence your opinion beforehand. I found it a very solid, fun and exciting blockbuster, despite some of it's flaws (dumb characters doing dumb shit, a screenplay that misses focus)
oh trust me i never do.
Need to wait until 21st for it to release in AUS.
So far away!
Two things annoyed me.
How did the Mosasaur survive three years in a tank with no food. There is no way the Indominus flesh lasted that long.
How is the kingdom of man fallen... at best there were a dozen dinosaurs. How are they going to be a threat?
Yeah freeing them is going to get people killed but there didn't seem to be many carnivores and all it would take is a .50 calibre machine gun to take them all out.

Yeah it's not really that big of a deal
dozens or hundreds of people and controversy will probably die obviously but besides Blue due to her intelligence I don't see it being the fall of man but probably a huge pain
Since when do we need spoiler tags for movie OTs? People who haven't seen it yet shouldn't be posting in them and making everyone else have to use tags just to talk about the film imo.
Had a good time with it. While it's similar to the first in terms of characters and tone somewhat, I liked how things played out in a different way even compared to Lost World. There were some plot points which raised eyebrowns, but overally it felt like a dynamic theme park ride with a bunch of set pieces and nevery got boring. I do like how Jurassic World is taking the entire "what if" concept of the franchise to new heights in terms of how it can progress as a series narratively. The characters are still all VERY stupid, but shrug, I think I actually enjoy that part of the films. Also, there was a lot more physical comedy than I expected here. Some nice slices of dark humor too. Really hope they make a third one!

LMAO you're massively overselling it
his screen time is less than 2 minutes, a lot of it being voiceover
Yeah, I was wondering about this too.
Guessing because if it's not out in the USA it doesn't really count as being out?..
Yeah. It was super disappointing. I expected a lot more than that.
It can't be stated enough that this movie has no clue how an end credits scene works.
That's an odd standard though. I mean, if Americans haven't seen it yet they can just continue to use the review thread?
Yeah it was so about that long.
I liked it more than World and 3 plus bonus Rick Flairish guy and resident evil/Dino crisis vibes.
Just saw it
A good dino movie
More surprises would been good
Clifhanger ending
Trailers spoiled to much of the movie last minutes

I didn't add that to the title (I'm gonna guess Jawmuncher did?), but yeah, I believe the issue is the US release being a whole two weeks later. It briefly came up in the franchise OT anyway, which probably sparked the edit. For what it's worth, I'm fine with it being a spoiler topic if that's what everyone wants to do, even if it means I can't use it for 2 weeks, lol. I'll leave it up to whoever cares the most haha.
(And @ duck: JW3 already has a date, writers, and director)
We should really be able to have open spoilers here, the U.S. guys can just stay out until 22nd.
It always seemed pretty obvious to me that Goldblum would only be in it for that court/trailer scene and wouldn't be substantial save for some "be careful" speech.
Watched it today and wasn't all that impressed, easily my least favourite of the five films so far.
I suppose I'll have to go into spoiler tag if that's what's happening..

All the new characters were terrible, especially those two young annoying hipster twerps. The grandkid was irritating. The villains were horribly cliched and forgettable.
When I think back on this film in say a month or a year's time, I don't honestly think I'll be able to remember any stand out moments. There's no tension whenever a dinosaur comes on screen anymore because the amount of near-miss scenes is bordering on comedic and annoyance.
The subplot they throw in towards the end with the grandkid is so bizarre and completely not needed that I nearly laughed out loud in the cinema.
Just, just kill a good guy for once, do something interesting and memorable, make me sit up in my seat and think holy shit.
The last 25 minutes ish are quite enjoyable I'll give it that, even if the whole sequence has already been revealed in the trailers, and I really liked that one shot of the bronchiosaurus(?) standing alone on the pier as they all sailed away.

Just came back. Movie was a lot of fun, a lot of great scenes, and excellent visuals. Basically got what I want from this series.
It has issues though, and mainly two annoy me. 1. The recycling of scenes from older movies. This is a sequel, not an homage.
2. Fuck the trailers. Just fuck them. Fuck everyone who edits them, and fuck everyone who greenlights them. I am not kidding, every single major scene in the entire movies has been spoiled by these fucking trailers. The trailers have shown basically nothing but the highlights of everything that happens.
I'm so done with this trailer spoiler shit. It really ruins the fun when everything that happens you just know the next outcome because that's what they chose to show you in the trailers. There is no suspense because of it? There are no surprises, and it pisses me the fuck off.
I need to be stronger for the next movie and just avoid any and all trailers. Trailers have become a blight. They do not tease anything. They reveal everything.

Just watched it. It's weird, at some points it felt like there was a decent movie between all the crap.
It feels like the studio and director had different views for the movie, but I think Bayona did a great work for what he had to work with. The last 30min are really enjoyable.
Also Chris Pratt is channeling Star Lord in some of the scenes, but I guess it works for the character.

Would someone who's seen it mind answering a question for me?
How prominent a role does Dr Wu play in this? Does he make it out alive?
About the same as the last movie.
It's a little ambiguous because he was stabbed in the neck with a needle. Something was injected into him, thought it could just be tranquilizer since the person who stabbed him is the cowardly IT guy. Doubt he had the guts to inject poison into someone. Whatever's the case, it's left open enough that it doesn't matter.

When I first heard his voice in a trailer I thought it was, until I got a clearer look at the face it was coming from.
That's WAY too much.
It's a single scene cut into two, it's no more than five minutes at most, probably less
That was a terrible movie.
Why did Maisie get into the bed to get away from the Indoraptor ? Also, how did she come away from that experience thinking these dinosaurs which can be vicious and terrifying are "just like me" therefore they must be set free?
Also...there were like 12 dinosaurs that were in the estate, how is that the end of civilization?

He's literally in the movie at like the tail end being a super evil douche, then he gets knocked out. He's alive and dragged out of the estate.

Now that I had some time to digest the movie I wrote all my complaints that I have with Fallen Kingdom here, Basically I like the movie but I"m not a fan of many of the things they do and where this leads Jurassic World 3.
I'm kind of afraid now what they'll do with JW3, but hopefully they'll be able to make a good movie. Can we post unmarked spoilers in this thread btw?

I watched some reviews before going in, so didn't have high expectations. They were right. Very meh movie, one or two moments managed to pique my interest momentarily, but then it went back to being meh. I found the little girl the most interesting character. Would've liked this movie more as a Lara Croft origin story, lol.
Oh, you know, they
will magically multiply into the millions until the next sequel.
Great story, poor execution with the script, great directing, poor execution of the setpieces.
I really did not like the action bits, though. They felt clunky as all hell.
So writing dumb shit spoiler
we live in a world where someone sits down and writes a man outruns a full speed t-rex even casually has time to scream before running and keeps looking back. I mean if they say she got arithiritis due to age or battle damage can believe it maybe. But this t-rex busts out at full speed and can't catch a dude. This is barely 10 mins into film before it stupid as shit

Seems about right, given that Trevorrow is an awful, awful writer, and JA Bayona is an excellent director, haha. Good thing the next movie's director won't be held back by the script!
because Trevorrow will be directing it lol
Whichever friend forced you to watch all the trailers, you need to get rid of them.
