Just got out of the screening.
Gotta say it's better than 2 and 3, but it's still a disappointment.

Just was wondering about one thing...


How does the outcome of the Irex and Trex fight turn out? Does Trex take down the Irex or get killed? Thanks!
 
Full score. :hrt:

Thanks man. :) Gave it a listen earlier tonight, some really good pieces on there and a nice incorporation of the classic themes.

In less stellar news my viewing of JW has been put back 24 hours due to my family ride having a dental appointment. :(
 
Yeah the first soundtrack definitely builds up to the I-rex hatching scene.
 
Im only wondering why the reviews r still embargoed. That is normally a sign of no confidence by any studio, damage control...
 
Many of the reviews/reactions I've seen say they think it's better than TLW and JP3, but think it's still about a 7/10.
 
Well, I really enjoy TLW in spite of it's big problems. So if it's better than that, it's a win for me.

I think this movie won't be a massive critical hit, but it will be a crowd pleaser.
 
Well, when you think about about it 7/10 is only 3 short of 10.
I have never considered that a bad score

Same, I've already been predicting my rankings and it will most likely end up being

JP, JW, TLW, JP3. That will probably be my order after I see the film Saturday.
 
JP, JW, JP3, TLW for m (probably). I REALLY hate that move.
 
Just curious Loki, what do you hate about TLW so much that makes it worse than JP3? Just wondering :)
 
The Jurassic Park franchise is like Bond for me. I find enjoyment in *every* film, because I love the brand so much.

Agree I used to not really Like TLW but I think a lot of it was just that it didn't live up to the first 1 but it has grown on me over time but for some reason I used to like JP3 more then TLW. Now I don't really like 3 and I find TLW to be a lot better then JP3. My prediction is that I will find this in the middle of TLW and JP1. So I think I will like it a lot more then TLW but still not like JP1.
 
That Trevorrow interview made me optimistic. His past quotes on his ideas combined with what he's saying here could make for something good. Hopefully it translates to something that's good but I'm optimistic. I'm going dark until Friday. I don't want to know the reviews. I just want to go in and watch a goddamn Jurassic Park film without the internet's opinions knawing in my head. I wanna go in like when I was a little kid and just hope for something good.

If this is better than even TLW which I love warts and all, then this movie already did good in my book.

I second this. Earlier today I was thinking about staying away from the hype since the embargo unleashes tomorrow. Hopefully I have enough will power and not read any of the reviews.

I love TLW and even JP3 to some extent so this all sounds good to me.

One of the things that I hate most in cinema is a "message film" that utterly fails to deliver it's message and just becomes annoyingly preachy. TLW is one such movie. The message is hamfisted to the nth degree and at no point was I on Hammond and co's side.

The major problem is that you have a bunch of self-righteous hypocrites as your protagonists, who's idiocy/recklessness is CONSTANTLY getting people killed. Hell they're responsible for MOST of the deaths in that movie, and yet the film insists on painting them as being in the right. The one likeable member of the group (Eddie) gets killed off halfway through (which is also their fault btw). They seemed to have sucked all of the charm/charisma out of Ian Malcolm and Sarah Harding is a complete idiot. And the there's Nick, the character who deserved to be dino chow most of all. And yet, not only does he NOT die, the movie has the GALL to paint him as a hero for removing Pappa Postlethwaite's bullets as "heroic." Hello Steven, there's a freaking T-REX EATING PEOPLE, which is ALSO the "heroes" fault, so those bullets might have saved lives. He's not a hero, he's an imbecile who get's people killed, rant over.

And oh those eeevvvilll hunters who want to stick dinosaurs in a zoo. Yes, those monsters who saved the "heroes" backsides (after the heroes caused their camp to be trashed), shared what little supplies they had left (ALSO the "heroes" fault btw), let them come along, AND told them where the radio station was. Yes, these are truly vile people who deserved to die horribly, oh please.

Then you have flat-out stupid crap like Malcolm's daughter killing a raptor. Seriously, THREE movies with trained hunters/mercenaries wielding guns and they cannot manage to kill a dinosaur, but a teenage girl doing gymnastics can, ugh.

By contrast, JPIII was nothing more (or less) than a fun dumb B-movie with a bigger budget. Not great, but ultimately harmless, and the hypocrisy factor is drastically toned down.

My big problem With TLW was they took out a lot of the fear factor .
I mean, when a teenage girl can take on a raptor , what is there to be afraid of ?
 
The T-Rex! As we learned in the original, raptors ain't got nothin' on the Queen.
