Admittedly, it has been a long time since I saw both sequels, but I seem to recall enjoying the grim tone & atmosphere of #3, along with the more straightforward plotting; Lost World felt like Spielberg on autopilot, a hack-job adaptation of the novel (which itself wasn't great, true) and a film that somehow made a T-Rex rampage through San Diego feel dull & pedestrian.
I also remember the irritating child character managing to somersault-kick a raptor through a wall, so that's enough reason to hate on #2

Grim tone and atmosphere? They tweed up the classic musical score and had tonnes of cutsey family crap (at least in TLW Malcom and his kid didn't really like each other). Then you had weird stuff like Tea Leoni shouting through a megaphone, "What's a bad idea!?!?" on dinosaur island and a mobile phone going off in a dino's belly.

In it's defense, there were some cool bits such as the Spino tearing up the plane and the raptors were fairly cool overall.
I can't forgive the ending though.

A palaeobotanist has the authority to send in the marines now?

JP3 was an abomination

Or did he pee on it? Been a while since I read it, but there was a bit with a T-rex peeing/spunking on a vehicle window.
Any takers?

As in do I volunteer to read it again to find the bit? Not now, but Ive got an 18 hour passage on a boat on Saturday. I'll fire it onto the kindle. I'll let you know if I find it.

I thought 2 was poor also. 1 is a classic though.

I liked 2 but part of that is down to my nerdy love of the hardware. The excursion vehicles, and the modded jeeps for catching the Dinosaurs. I think I drooled when I saw them first time round.

To be fair, nothing was ever going to approach the first one. JP 1 is a masterpiece. I mean, you know you are going to see as a movie with dinosaurs in it. You get a glimpse of the raptor at the start, but you are just as amazed as Alan Grant when you get the first glimpse of the brachiosaurs. Even now, when I watch it, I can see Alan Grants face, and then you see Ellie's face, and you know its coming, and the music starts and you hear the call of the Brachiosaur and its just amazing. The Lost World and everything / anything else was never going to beat that moment.

Ha; according to Trevorrow the dinosaurs won't have feathers, recent discoveries be-damned:

Continuity is more important at this stage one would reckon.
Also, if the dinos started sprouting feathers all of a sudden that could hardly be considered accurate either.

Something something frog DNA...

You can keep your Jurassic Park 4, The Asylum's Age of Dinosaurs looks like the kind of low budget trash that's guaranteed to be perfect post pub fun.

I hope T-Rex gets revenge. It will be like Rocky defeating Apollo in Rocky II. T-Rex the underdog comes back from the clutches of death, only to knock out the Spinosaurus by vicious headbutt.

I enjoyed 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.

Richard Attenborough has been moved to a care home due to 'deteriorating mental health'. I guess that's the last we'll see of John Hammond so.

Been postponed indefinitely

In coordination with filmmakers, Universal has decided to release Jurassic Park 4 at a later date giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal’s beloved franchise. We could not be more excited about the vision that Colin Trevorrow has created for this film, and we look forward to watching as he and the producers create another great chapter in this franchise's storied history.

Sad Professor · 08-05-2013 8:20pm

Trevorrow was out scouting locations and everything. Script problems, I assume. Although it was never going to be ready for next year anyway.

Galvasean · 10-05-2013 3:50pm

Probably for the best. An overly-tight schedule ruined JP/// so I'd rather 4 wasn't a rush job too.

Marty McFly · 10-05-2013 4:41pm

Yeh good to see there taking the sensible approach still sounds like it's going ahead just not a rush job.

Angron · 10-05-2013 4:43pm

I didn't hate 3

I mean it wasn't the best film ever, but I liked it all right.

Then again, I've seen so many bad films because of my friends it's easy to see the good side of some films :P

I was liking the first part of that post until I saw the 3D bit

. Still be interesting to see what they do with it With Spielberg still producing hopefully it wont be a mess.

Galvasean · 18-06-2013 9:08pm

Well generally shot in 3D > 3D conversion. that said, apparently the 3D reissue of JP1 has some of the best 3D ever commited to cinema. I'd comment more if they'd hurry up and release it already! :mad:

Ah im just not a fan of 3D in any shape or form, find it gimmicky really and I'm also one of the people it causes headaches in.

But yeh hurry up, was only watching Jurrasic Park the other day still looks amazing to this day.

stumbled across this the other day, some guy recorded the audio of the audience at the 3D re-release in the States, over eager US audiences annoy me at times but when its something you've seen a load of times and people get into it its kinda cool.

Hmmm, so basically it's a retread of JP1 only this time the park is genuinely open & will (presumably) feature more extras & panicky crowds when everything goes wrong. There's nothing wrong with that of course - there are only so many variations you can make of the entire concept, a glorified palaeontological creature-feature - I just hope they don't try to slavishly echo the beats of the first film out of some misguided desire for nostalgia and nods to the fans; that almost never works.

I always found it odd they never went back to the original JP, the sequels are both set on Site B. Would have been cool to see what years of unchecked dino breeding had resulted in on the original island. Or set it between JP and The Lost World with a cleanup team going in to try salvage what's left of the park. I never read the Lost World book but is there anything mentioned about what happened after Hammond and the rest left the park? they hardly just left it to rot.

Wasn't the original thinking that all the dinos on Site A would be dead because they were engineered to need some su[pplement to keep them alive where as the ones on Site B never needed this, which was the reason they lost control of them. I think (Galvasean will know better) they changed since though that the Site A dinos evolved to not need the supplement or something "Life finds a way" and all that.

Could be good, I liked the angle of making

T-Rex and the Raptors heroes of sorts, hell t-Rex alread saved the da in the first film anyway!

.

I still want the dino-men with guns idea to happen though

Malcolm asks Hammond in the beginning of the Lost World how the dinos are still alive without lyciene ( I think) on Site B too, maybe its just sloppy writing tbh. Although they probably engineered all the dinos with the deficiency as a safeguard from birth. Maybe the naturally born ones don't have it or something.

Marty McFly · 22-06-2013 3:18pm

I don't know sounds horrendous to be honest shot specifically in 3D and using tamed dinosaurs to fight the threat, sounds like a Piranha 3D in the making.

krudler · 22-06-2013 3:26pm

I don't mind the shot in 3D aspect if they're going to do 3D then doing it right is preferable to crappy post-production jobs. I avoid 3D where I can anyway. Tame dinos does sound absolutely stupid though. Whatever about a docile triceratops or something but a pet Velociraptor? pfff. They should go the full hog and make them like The Flintstones if they're going that stupid, flying to the island on a Pterodactyl, using a Brachiosaur as an escalator or slide etc.

Mickeroo · 22-06-2013 3:30pm

It's no more ridiculous than tamed lions and tigers really, the're just animals at the end of the day. T-rex harder to believe due to it's size I suppose.
