JURASSIC WORLD v.2 (Dragonlord's Review)

I was thinking the same thing as the guy you quoted. It seriously looked like pteradactyls with t-rex heads. Everytime they popped up on screen I was thinking "is that supposed to be another hybrid... or just a fucked up pteradactly"

Not all pterodactyls had beaks. The one that attacked Pratt was a dimorphodon I believe.
 
Yes it is cheesy and cliched but very entertaining from start to finish.

7.5/10
 
Saw this the other day, was entertaining but incredibly cheesy and all the characters were complete morons. I would give it 6.5/10.

And Chris Pratt, whilst seemingly a nice enough and charismatic guy, could not pull off Indiana Jones based on this evidence.
 
I don't think the next one should be about an island at all. It should be about the dinosaurs getting loose in America or something like that. Have the military cloning dinosaurs and they get loose and make it to the city.

My favorite thing about the second one was Trex loose in the city I thought it was awesome.
Imagine a couple of smaller I-rexes being tested for military purposes near a small rural town. They escape and now the local sheriff has to deal with a pack of I-rexes. I'd watch it but that's not saying much.
Yea had the kissing scene was stupid I didn't like that either. I didn't think the romance was random though they made it clear that they had a thing for each other the minute they got together and they indicated that they had a date at one point.
The kiss was a bit awkward and I say that as someone who liked both Claire, Owen, and their dynamic.
1. You install small devices in all dinosaurs but after the last one there would be no way those devices wouldn't have some sort of poison/explosive installed. They could have just made the smart trex immune to the poison or something like that.
These dinos are expensive and if these poison/bombs implants malfunction for whatever reason then you just lost a multimillion dollar asset. Imagine the visitors watching two Pachys exploding just after they butt heads. Minimizing safety for cost reduction purposes is not new in the franchise.
2. The kids being told to go back and still driving into a gate that says danger stay out. I could understand the small kid doing that but the older one? To dumb.
Kids do dumb things, especially teenagers. I was more surprised that Chris Pratt and those guards would enter the I-Rex paddock before getting confirmation from the control room that it escaped.
Pretty much. Same people who also come in massive droves for the next transformers, mediocre comic book films, hunger games & whatever other mindless trash is being shown on screen.

When I saw this, I saw nothing but teens, badly raised kids, gangbangers, hicks, and other mindless sheep going apeshit for this piece of shit.

When I saw Ex Machina, there were only 8 people in the room. Shame.
Oh fuck off with this. I saw Ex Machina and loved it, thought it was an exceptional film from top to bottom but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy Jurassic World for what it is.

I suspect a big reason this film is so successful is because of the success of the first JP. Certainly that was the case for me, I've been waiting for nearly 15 years for this sequel, ever since I saw the third movie in theaters as a kid the first day it came out(July 18th, still remember to this day). The Jurassic Park franchise is near and dear to many people and finally getting another one got a lot of people hyped as fuck, many of whom, like myself, aren't huge comic book or blockbuster fans normally. I don't think I was ever so excited to see a popcorn flick as I was for JW and I don't think I've ever enjoyed one as much as I did this one.
 
I rewatched this movie the other day and there was one thing that stood out to me, or rather didn't stand out and that was the score. Even the third film had a solid score but this one was rather pedestrian. The only time I was impressed is when they played the old theme near the beginning and that hardly counts. If there was anyone who could get away with using that again it would be John Williams but even he strayed from using the score of the first film in the second one and instead created a whole new one with a completely different tone.

I think one of the dumbest if not the dumbest was how the I-rex could fool infrared sensors.

JURASSIC WORLD Hits $500M Domestically; TED 2 Disappoints


Jurassic-World-062815-Dragonlord.jpg


Seth MacFarlane's raunchy R-rated Ted 2 could have used some fuzzy-wuzziness at the North American box office this weekend. The $68 million comedy eked out a third-place finish, grossing a disappointing $32.9 million. That's nearly 40 percent behind the $54.4 million launch of Ted in summer 2012. Overseas, the comedy opened to $20.3 million.

Jurassic World, one of the biggest box-office sensations in history, grossed $54.2 million in its third outing to hit $500 million, becoming only the fifth film to earn $500 million or more domestically. The others are The Dark Knight ($534.9 million), The Avengers ($623.4 million), Titanic ($658.7 million) and Avatar ($760.5 million). To boot, it's now the top-grossing film of 2015 to date after overtaking Avengers: Age of Ultron ($452.5 million).

Internationally, the dinos also continued their rampage unabated, topping the foreign chart with $82.5 million from 66 markets for an offshore total of $737.5 million and global haul of $1.238 billion, stomping past Iron Man 3 ($1.215 billion) to become the No. 8 title of all time, not accounting for inflation.

Pixar's Inside Out fell a mere 42 percent in its second outing to $52.1 million for an early domestic total of $184.9 million. Overseas, the critically acclaimed film earned $26.4 million as it expanded into a total of 42 markets for a foreign cume of $81.5 million and worldwide tally of $266.4 million.

With the third weekend actuals now available we can make a pretty good guess at the film's final total. If it follows the same general trends as most comic book films (which is where I'm pulling my data), and it seems to be so far, then we can put a 95% confidence bounds on it's final domestic tally being between $609.8-681.5mil. So that puts it somewhere between fourth and second all time. I don't think it has a shot at #1. Avatar finished at $760.5mil and J:W's legs don't look like they're going to be abnormally strong which they would need to be to contend for the top spot.
 
It's going to pass Frozen from the #7 spot worldwide within the next few days. Dark Knight is seeing its lead waste away in the #4 US spot as well.


 
Finally got around to seeing this and the movie was just flat out bad.
 
This movie sucked raptor dick. Maybe the cheesiest thing I've ever seen.
 
I also saw it this week and the two posts above sum it up perfectly. Probably one of the worst movies ever to make this much money.
 
Just saw this in 3-D wish I saw terminator instead. 6 out of 10

Movie was cheesy as hell. Not nearly as good as JP, and even JP2 was better. I dinosaur thats hunting for sport and can do all that other crap? It's more like a super villain than an animal. I give a 5/10.

Also, they keep underestimating T.rex' bite force IMO. It had I.rex by the neck for a good while. That should have been the end of it realistically.
 
Didn't care about any characters at all. The raptor trainer guy could have been interesting if they fleshed out the "Alpha" relationship some more.

T-rex hybrid was ok.

5, meh.
 
Saw it again with the girlie a couple of weeks ago, still enjoyed it.

JURASSIC WORLD Is Now 5th Highest Grossing Film Worldwide


Jurassic-World-Pratt-Howard-070515-Dragonlord.jpg


Leftovers were the dish of choice at the Fourth of July box-office picnic. Firework champs Inside Out and Jurassic World beat new entries Terminator: Genisys and Magic Mike XXL to top the holiday in their third and fourth weekends, respectively.

On Sunday, Universal had Jurassic World winning the weekend with $30.9 million, but final numbers show Inside Out topping the holiday chart with $29.8 million. Jurassic World came in at $29.2 million for a domestic total of $556.5 million — the fourth-best showing of all time in North America and eclipsing The Dark Knight ($534.9 million). Inside Out earning $29.8 million for a domestic cume of $245.9 million.

In four short weeks, Jurassic World has roared up the worldwide box office charts and is now the fifth highest grossing film ever. The fourth Jurassic film squeezed past Marvel's Avengers: Age Of Ultron ($1.383.5 billion) to become the 5th biggest worldwide grosser ever with $1.385 billion. The film added $29.2 million domestically and $42 million internationally this weekend.

Now the question is: Does Jurassic World have enough teeth to chase down Furious 7? It currently sits in fourth place with $1,511.6 billion, but Furious 7 is only slightly behind Marvel's The Avengers, which is in third with $1,518.6 billion.
