    I want to see a complete new cast, not a reboot, i want the events of the previous 3 to be still there and not just like it never happened.

    JP3 was far from epic. Funnily enough, JP2, which was a very weak book, was a terrific movie.

    Really? i loved the book, thought there was some really chilling moments like
    when the 'raptors are darting across the field to attack someone, but in full view of the person rather than under the cover of the high grass like in the movie, and when they were jumping up at the tree house / hide trying to get the people up there. Also the T-Rex feeding the baddie to his young was better i.e baddie realised he's been lured into the T-Rex's nest for that purpose.

    My unpopular movie opinion: the original Jurassic Park was not a very good movie. Long, tedious opening before the dinos show up (could have been 30 seconds), all sorts of characters splitting up to look for the cat, paper thin cartoon characters, mystical nonsense from Goldblum the alleged mathematician etc. etc.

    It was saved in the cinema by the T-Rex and Raptor sequences, but as a film, it's pretty dire.

    Isn't there a dinosaur in the opening sequence?

    There is a dinosaur's eyeball, IIRC.

    Ah yea, but a good monster move never reveals the monster at the start.

    The scene where they're driving around and Sam Neil sees the Brachiasaurs for the first time still gives me goosebumps.

    I am kinda disappointed they probably won't go down the dinosaurs with guns route they had threatened.

    Because, as **** as Jurassic Park 4 is likely to be, it would at least be a unique **** if they had guns.

    Shure why not do a Turok movie instead? :D

    This post is fcuking hilarious. It's your opinion that JP isn't good but while I disagree I will respect what you think. The pacing of the film was bang on and the introduction of the 'dinos' was perfect. What cat are you on about? What mystical nonsense was Goldblum's spouting? I really love JP and watching it in the cinema nearly 20 years ago was magical.

    Maybe they will use some ideas from this old school game! http://www.coolrom.com/screenshots/mame/Cadillacs%20and%20Dinosaurs%20(World%20930201).gif

    I wonder would all the dinosaurs this time around be carrying walkie talkies :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,686 ✭✭✭✭Zubeneschamali


    What cat are you on about?

    Jones, the cat in Alien.


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,065 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    Jones, the cat in Alien.

    Ha Ha your nuts:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,686 ✭✭✭✭Zubeneschamali


    Ha Ha your nuts:D

    Come on, it's standard horror/action movie stuff:

    "There's a dangerous alien loose on the ship! Also, Jones is missing."

    "OK, everyone, let's split up and look for the cat".

    How can you just throw in a random Alien reference in a JP discussion?

    Lost World came out august 7th 1997 (my birfday is how i remember the date), went on my first ever "date" if you will to see it.

    I remember collecting the cups from McDonalds, still have the gallimimus one somewhere, rememeber the T-Rex being sold out.

    I remember as a kid wondering how Jeff Goldblum had a black daughter, and how was she able to kill a raptor?? Other than that and the King Kong rampage it was fun.

    Never warmed to 3, just something was missing, but it's been long enough that this one should be decent enough (i've also said that for Indy 4)

    Spielberg: "I have an idea for JP4"
    Me: "is it about more dinosaurs?"
    Spielberg: "why yes, yes it is.."
    Me: "and humans trying to escape?"
    Spielberg: "yes.."
    Me: "so what's different about this film?"
    Spielberg: "...."

    That's a really bad idea (other than to market toys). It reminds me too much of "sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads".

    I've said it before and I'll say it again the Jurassic Park franchise should be taken outside and out down. The first film is entertaining and part 2 has it's moments but over all it's one of the most over rated franchises of all time.

    What should be done is that they should make a film of this:

    That was a nice car ad.

    If they're not giving the Dino's guns then they should give the humans some this time. Use Aliens as a template maybe, crack team of marines trapped on the island but with a **** tonne of fire power. Ah I dunno.


  • Registered Users Posts: 46 Brennaldo II


    Delighted to hear this, I'm very much a fan of the Jurassic Park series (number 3 was only ok at most)

    I think enough time has passed now that these films will have a bit of its excitement back.

    Also, Speilberg, if you have any brains, make Rex the main dinosaur again, and for the love of God, no more talking velociraptors !!! :mad:

    Did I miss these?

    Did I miss these?

    In 3 it was suggested that Raptors were smarter than Dolphins, maybe even than Humans, and that they had their own language, which Alan Grant could 'tap' into with his fossilised duck-whistle. Yet another ludicrous story line from Jurrassic Park Three: Wait for the DVD.


  • Registered Users Posts: 46 Brennaldo II


    Did I miss these?

    Well obviously enough the raptors weren't having conversations in English, but they were looking at each other and making sounds as if to communicate, It was just awful to view..


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,685 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    the idea of smart raptors was badly directed in the third film with really clunky exposition and blunt visualisation.

    The idea of *talking* raptors though has been present since the first film, they just didnt push it in your face in a really bad way and it had a bit of menace to it.

    Ah yes, I really want to see another Aliens rip-off

    They should make it about the family from dinosaurs who are mistaken for evil Jurassic park dinosaurs and turn it into a comedy romp. Replace a man taking a **** and getting eaten with the kid hitting his father on the head with a frying pan when he's eating
