Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just came back from the film. Don't worry, I'm not going to spoil anything. However, I can say that the opening of the film was the highlight for me. There's a whole 'getting to see the island' sequence that is carefully edited to the hits of John Williams' theme. Wow, cool. It also puts into the relieff that dreary score by Giacchino, which once again comes off as a sequence of random chords. I seriously can't see what you guys see in him. Baffled.As for the film itself, let me just say it's better than the trailer suggests, but also with LOADS of warts, so it wasn't completely off. I'll refrain from spoiling anything at this point.There are a few more of Williams' secondary themes too -- like the 'mystery chords' on horn, some tribal percussion that sounds kinda like THE LOST WORLD and the "Petticoat Lane" theme (I think) for a particular reference scene.How would you rank the films at this point?

Thor 7,504 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Actually, my ranking follows pretty much the sequence of films: 1,2,3,4. But 4 is quite a bit behind 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor went into the movie with lofty expectations. As somebody who really only holds the first movie in high regards, my expectations are low enough that I'm sure I'll just enjoy the roller coaster ride of it all. I'm not expecting anything besides another TLW or JPIII - a fun, sometimes scary dinosaur romp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I'm not going to pretend I'm the biggest JP fan in here although it IS my favourite movie of all time (in competition with the first two ALIEN films), and I've seen it at least 50-60 times. But I'm guessing there are people here who have me beat by a landslide.JP4 delivers on a few points, but sadly fails on a few more. Currently trying to write a review, but it's tricky with these films that are neither great nor bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,316 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Sounds like the film is trending moderate-very positive in the reviews I've read so far. Oddly, many of the sharp criticisms from one review are otherwise ignored or contradicted in the other (such as characters, writing, the kids' storyline being useless, etc.) All reviews laud Treverrow's handling of the action scenes, and the absolute chaos that unfolds in the second half (apparently very intense and too frightening for children).Coming Soon - 9/10SlashFilm - 6/10SlashFilm Review 2 - 8/10"Jurassic World is the best Jurassic Park movie since Steven Spielberg‘s original 1993 film.""Pratt shows he can handle a different range with this role. Seeing him as Owen also has me much more excited about the prospect of him taking over the Indiana Jones franchise.""There are at least two, but probably more like four, set pieces in Jurassic World that had me glued to my seat with excitement, tension and wonder."I like this:"What surprises me is how much of the film is not shown or hinted at in the trailers. There are whole action sequences omitted and protected from any of the marketing I’ve seen thus far. There are a couple unanticipated major plot turns which I did not expect and thoroughly enjoyed."

All that matters is one's own opinion of the film.I note that half of those negative reviews clearly don't understand what the film is trying to be. Calling a Jurassic Park film overstuffed with too much loud action is like complaining a Star Wars movie spends too much time in outer space. Even from all the negative reviews it's quite clear Treverrow has crafted a highly energised, fun movie. Some critics wouldn't understand the meaning of the word.

crumbs 14,316 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Some of the characters come to predictable ends, but we won’t spoil the film by going into any details. What we do get are some terrifyingly inventive action set-pieces that are both thrilling and elaborate in detail. Purists will have little to complain about once they see the film. The initial fears, shared by many it has to be said, are quickly dispelled by the movie. Joining Mad Max: Fury Road as one of the best blockbusters of the last few years, Jurassic World also proves how foolhardy it is to judge a movie by its trailer. This is an absolutely rollicking ride, crammed with big ideas and unforgettable moments. http://www.heyuguys.com/jurassic-world-review/ I can see why some pompous critics are badmouthing the film if the characters are cliched and the dialogue a bit flat, but even the negative reviews are praising the film for the fun it delivers in spades. The action sounds kinetic and creative, and that's exactly what I want from a film about dinosaurs on the rampage.If critics are expecting Gone With The Wind they're looking in the wrong genre.

crumbs 14,316 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 ‘Jurassic World’s Global Explosion: Dino Pic Could Hatch $400M-Plus Domestic B.O. opening projections for Jurassic World are well over $100M, with estimates ranging from $110M-$140M. Overseas, very conservative estimates are pegging $220M-$260M — although we’ve certainly heard that $300M is in the ballpark. In the last 24 hours, Movietickets.com is reporting that 52% of all tickets sold by the site are for JW. The Hollywood press were applauding heavily after last night’s press screening at the AMC Century City, and word on the street is theater owners have just been ecstatic after exhib screenings. The feeling is that JW is the best of the four. Deadline Really good, balanced, relatively spoiler-free review from a huge Jurassic Park fan. Addresses the things that don't work and praises all the good stuff (of which there is plenty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 454 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Was the The Lost World piece completely random or did it serve some purpose?In the context of the climatic scene it plays in (read it but not spoiling), it's intentional. Like how Williams used the same motif twice: first when the survivors make it to the helicopter for when Sarah loads up the tranquilizer gun.

Thor 7,504 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 As I'm currently writing my own review, I discover there's a lot of negative things I have to get off my chest first (basically because the ideology that drives this film is rather different from the previous three), but when taken on its own terms, there are some neat things in the film. Thank God it's much better than the trailers, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's almost as if you're another critic who hangs fire with final thought's when submitting a review until other sources have come together to form a consensus. Because originally you were decidedly negative about the movie, but since the more positive reviews have come out you seem to be reevaluating.
