Jurrasic Park - Page 2

Savanti Romero · 12-11-2003, 02:36 PM

What is MORBO? I have read the two books as well, and I thought Lost World was the better of them. The movies really are good, and I love the whole thing with the veloca raptors being too big and then the Utah raptor was found. We have dinosaur mueseums around here and they made an animatronic Utah raptor right after the movie came out.

I like JP3 better than The Lost World. It's not as if The Lost World was that great of a book to begin with. The only thing I remember about it was how much this one guy cursed.

Now, Jurassic Park... now THAT'S a book. My second favorite book, as it happens.

I'd say that the Jurassic Park movie is a good movie, and the book is a good book. I don't really think you can compare the two... different rules apply to writing books than making movies.

I liked the first and second, the third was ok, just kinda....meh. I loved how in the second one the T-Rex ended up loose in LA. But they kinda didn't explain how people reacted in 3.

I'm interested in seeing how JP4 will turn out. Jeff Goldblume is badass, he was one of the reasons why JP2 was good. But Sam Niel creeps the hell out of me, did you guys see "In The Mouth Of Madness"?? Creepy bastard.

That's the biggest part I didn't like about the second one...

Sure it may be a problem....But he ate a dog, that made my day.

RskimB · 12-11-2003, 04:58 PM

I like the first and the second was good too but only up until the "dino in the city" rampage part

And I still haven't seen the third one

*Cascadia* · 12-11-2003, 05:09 PM

I loved the first movie.....at least the biologist of me. I have seen the movie so many times because it was shown several science classes in college and high school.

impetus · 12-12-2003, 12:36 PM

The first one was great (both the book and movie).

The second movie was mostly good. The worst part was the little girl pulling out the can of gymnastics on the raptors. Stupidest scene in the movie.

The second book was stupid, IMHO. More of "Chrichton's dissertation of evolutionary biology" than an actual story with a plot.

The third one lacked any real substance. When it was over it seemed too short and I really didn't feel any connection with the characters or plot. And it was centered around a couple of gimmicks: namely the raptors' distress call and new dinos.

The third book was - oh, wait, there wasn't one.

The first movie was good, I'll admit, I liked it. It was done very well and the story was half-way interesting. Then my cousins kept watching the tape over and over and over and I got REAL sick of it. I could probably sit down and watch it today and enjoy it since I've had like a couple years respite.

The second movie? I don't know if I ever sat down and watched it all the way through but I've seen most of it. It was okay, more senseless carnage and running from the dinos. But the dino coming to America...ackpth, no thanks...too cheesy like Godzilla IMO. Sorry. The only guy from the original worked as the main hero I guess, I always liked him.

The third movie? Well they brought the main star back, that archaeologist (I forget his name) and that was kind of okay. Really the movie wasn't BAD, it just wasn't special or anything. I didn't really like it I guess.

Don't tell me Spielberg's gonna do a fourth? I think the series needs to die...

Don't you mean "needs to go extinct"?

Just a little dinosaur humor.

Two Words: Veloci-Raptor.

Scared the shell out of me and my best friend.....

Remember that part on the first movie where the guy goes down to check out the controls in the basement and Velociraptor suddenly crashes through and gets him? LOL...my dad grabbed me right when it happened and I despite myself I freaked out (think I screamed, can't remember).

One Radical Dude · 12-12-2003, 05:25 PM

There's going to be a JP4?

**Machias Banshee** · 12-12-2003, 05:45 PM

There's going to be 5 movies total.

"Las Cincos Muertos"

One Radical Dude · 12-12-2003, 05:49 PM

If they're going to be like JP3, then I'll probably skip them.

Relay · 12-12-2003, 11:23 PM

Scientists are learning more and more about dinosaurs all the time. I've seen commercials for dinosaur shows on Discovery Channel that depict velociraptors has being covered in feathers. I've also read that the T-Rex was actually a scavenger instead of a hunter since those little arms wouldn't be good for hunting. If they incoroporate all these new ideas about dinosaurs into the next Jurassic Park movie, they wouldn't be as scary. Can you imagine all the scenes from the previous movies with the velociraptors if they looked like giant chickens??? Sure, they can rip you lungs out, but still giant chickens are not very scary. At least they wouldn't be as scary as the velociraptors have been in previous movies.

Iron Bison · 12-13-2003, 10:42 PM

I liked them all in their own way. First one was of course the best! (anyone read the book? It's even better!

)

*Cascadia* · 12-13-2003, 10:49 PM

the book is almost always better than the movie

MW8979 · 12-14-2003, 06:26 AM

Anyone ever wondered what it actually would be like if that ever came true (and it might some day)? Having dinosaurs in "cages" for all to see..... Would you go see them? I know I would.
