Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Quote the movie fails on every possible level, but that doesn’t matter because it’s a good time at the cinema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher 350 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 You know, I actually wrote on a "basic story level", which makes more sense, but ha. In the case of FK, the script wasn't good at all, but there were some legit thrilling sequences and I had a good time in the theater, that it didn't bother me as much, so I was more forgiving of its flaws.

I hadn't been planning on it, so I'd read plenty of scathing reviews with lots of spoilers, but I decided to go for it anyway. And...I actually enjoyed it! It's a dumb flick, but it's a good time. I can't offer any more sophisticated praise than that, but I left with a smile on my face. Exactly. I have no idea what film the people savaging it were expecting, but it's a fucking Jurassic Park movie, not Citizen Kane. I went in with similarly low expectations after hearing all the mixed reviews and was pleasantly entertained. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I guess like me, they were expecting a good film, although what little faith I had, I didn't expect much after how bad the last one was... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,369 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hehe, I haven't even seen the film yet but this was funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Fallen Kingdom was much more enjoyable then World. I really like Bayona's style. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I didn't realize how much of a retread of TLW it was until this video pointed it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Yes I do see those points, but it's so different too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yeah, but whereas InGen took several dinos back to California to make a domestic Jurassic Park, some asshole in this film decided to sell them off to all kinds of black market dealers, warlords and other stereotypes. At the end of TLW, Malcolm and Sarah lure the T-Rex back to the boat to tranquilize it and end the rampage. In Fallen Kingdom, they release the dinos into the country - several large carnivores, a T-Rex, and a fucking velociraptor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Yeah. My recap of the film in one line was: Life finds a way...and boy will it ever find a way if you let out of the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The Lost World seems like the only logical sequel idea, probably thanks in part to Crichton's involvement, no less. There was a corporate plot, yes, but nothing as ridiculous as wanting to train raptors to be used as weapons, or selling the dinos off in some auction in a mansion.

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Random thought- The Lost World Theme reminds me of Alliance Assembly from RotJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yes...but it is not the main theme .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry was talking about the resemblance of Alliance Assembly from RotJ to the main TLW theme, The Stegosaurus is going to bear closer resemblance because it's part of TLW score, they share similar DNA. So I don't see how it's worth a comparison... The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I meant that the stegosaurus cue is much more similar to alliance assembly, melody, structure, tempo .... (I noticed it when I first heard it) than the lost world theme, I would never have thought of the comparison of the latter with alliance assembly....
