I don't think its possible for this one to be better than the first one especially if you're one of those who watched the first one in the cinema when it was released back then. It might be possible for the story to be better but overall the first one was just mind blowing when you see dinosaurs that look so real for the first time. It was a jaw dropping experience. Kinda like watching Transformers appear for the first time on the big screen. After that everything has been pretty much seen and done.

Agree man, the hybrid fit in well with theme of the movie.

If they went ahead without the story of the hybrid, ppl will complain that they just remake the 1993 with a modern twist without anything new.

In the end, they show the fossil dino rock the show.

There is a crazy rumor flying around that the Owen character is the kid that Dr Grant scared the shit out of at the beginning of Jurassic Park. You know the annoying kid that said velociraptors are nothing but 6 feet Turkey.

I like that part where the soldier's shout

"IT CAN CAMOUFLAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Just remembered that shark hanging was probably a reference to Jaws or something.

best part of the whole show

when Claire took off her blouse and tie it around

I was hmm... nice change of scenery

and the best part came, a little boy behind me started saying "nen-nen!" loudly
and keep on repeating that with every scene of Claire
and everyone within earshot was laughing non-stop

I guess his parent must be looking to dig a hole somewhere to hide

Forget Jurassic Park, even The Lost World blows this one out of the water.

TLW still had Spielberg's brillaint touch, especially when it comes to action setup and execution. There is proper effective suspence building before hell breaks loose. Don't expect much of that in Jurassic World. It's pure CG on CG dino warfare, and it's alright, comparable with the action you see in JPIII, but has nothing against TLW. Watching JW really makes you miss the animatronics. Not to mention Williams' kickass score for TLW.

The action in JP4 has a decidedly very contemporary Marvel feel, especially the finale battle where it's basically the same stuff we've seen in countless movies over the past few summers. It's Iron Man vs Hulk, Thor vs Iron Man, Superman vs Zod (2013), but with the heroes/villains replaced by dinosaurs. You have the exact same mechanics - buildings are destroyed, explosions galore, certain heroes/dinosaurs teaming up against the baddie, etc. Compare that to the skill required to pull of the action sequences in TLW and it becomes clear that, judged as an action movie about dinosaurs, TLW wipes the floor with this.

Williams' score from the first is used quite a bit in the beginning, but unlike the actual journey to the island in the first movie where you felt a palpable sense of awe, here the music evokes the sense of wonderment without the images replicating anything near the sort. You have his glorious music underscoring the kids walking into... their hotel room. Lol. The images don't deserve his score.

Haha basically that boy made the movie much more memorable to you

JP1 > JW > TLW > JP3

On RT's forums, this is pretty much the consensus among the audience, and this is what I agree to as well.

Wonder whether to catch it on D-Box this coming weekend, the dino's feet stomping should be worth it

like the movies said

"people wan something more exciting...bigger..better..stronger and scarier, kids this days no longer amuse with just a t-rex running around, it becomes a norm, wat we wan to do is show something new to everyone, not just normal dinosaur"

and basically that also mention in the interview with chris pratt actually..hahaha...


well i would say 6/10, it cool...

Not quite a good movie per say as many plot threads just irritate the hell out of me. On the other hand, if you switch off your brain, there are cheesy fun to be had especially to younger viewers. It could have been a lot worse and under no circumstances would even compare this to the original JP. There are just byproducts of different time and the original helmed by the one and only SPIELBERG, while this one by an indie director making his first big studio effort. Just two different class of film direction altogether.
At bare minimum it's a more enjoyable movie than Godzilla as far as let them fight moment. Although the movie is at fault for using cliche story beats and inconsequential build ups, it does make an attempt to deliver bang for your bucks whereas the other box office champ just rehashing a manufactured formula. It's one of those movies I'll gladly buy on Blu-ray to keep my annoying brat occupied so I can have a peace of mind.

Indominus rex was planned as a military asset.

WTF, when the thermal sensor fail to locate the Indominus rex in its cage, 1st thing they do is to go into the cage…..check with GPS locator you fools before u go in.
overall predictable, just a feel good family movie.

Indominus Rex not only can camoflauge its skin, but also its body thermal. I wonder what kind of reptile's dna did they mash-up into I-Rex.

I wouldnt be suprise if they even combined with human's dna considering it can cleverly think how to plan for escape and spit out the tracking device.

Just watched it. Yes, it can never replaced the original but was one hell of a ride. I came back from universal studios couple of years ago, and I totally get the theme park ride feel from this movie!! Awesome! 8/10.

It's the world's first movie to make half a billion on its opening weekend. Everyone is pretty stunned because no one saw that coming.
And its gonna be raking in a lot more in the next few weeks because there's not much competition.

In U.S they got competition in the form of Pixar's Inside Out. Overseas... Minions baby! Plu smost people say it is only average... so I guess it may experience a huge drop in numbers next week.

pretty good movie...not a thinking movie like the first one. I remember the themes of man playing God in the first movie were very well highlighted through the dialogue. This movie, not much memorable dialogue etc.

the moments in the beginning when the I-rex first got out were the best for me, the suspense of it sniffing around the truck and hiding in the bushes etc. The kids to be honest were not as whiny as a lot of the reviews suggest. The girl from TLW would be worse imo.

unfortunately one gripe i would have is the CGI dinosaurs still don't match the CGI of the first movie. Even when they decide to use animatronics here (the dying apatosaur), it's of inferior quality to the animatronics used in the first film.

entertaining if predictable movie, but definitely better than 2 and 3 for me. Bonus points of Trex breaking through Spinosaurus skeleton as a giant FU to the 3rd movie

in terms of movie enjoyment, i concur with that ranking

happy that they have already made half a billion dollars. more please!

just watch this. personal rating 7/10

rating comments below. spoilers included
