    Anyone see The Drop with Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini? I'm not sure what to make of it. I think in the end I'll settle on it being an average movie that was elevated by a single performance. Tom Hardy did a great job in this one.

    Just watched Southpaw. If you're a boxing fan this movie was terrible. Actually no matter who you are, this movie was terrible.

    5 steps to making Jurassic World the most pleasingly epic monster movie of the last 20 years..
    For a movie that sets up so much potential monster island carnage - what you end up with is yet another dumbed down Disney bag of puppy dogs and lollipops.
    Take the Hollywood/Marvel focus group nonsense out of this one and boy, it could have been really something special.
    1) No "communicating dinosaurs". When it starts happening you know the movie, which is already going south - has hit rock bottom. W. T. F.??

    2) No velociraptors. And especially not velociraptors that are "questioning their allegiance" to their human wrangler. Ble.

    3) No kids - unless they are going to be eaten. And eaten in the most bloody of fashions.

    4) Let the "Monster" be a MONSTER. Here's the genetically manipulated T-Rex, Godzilla creature with horrifyingly large claws and an appetite not to eat, but murder every living thing in it's path. THIS is your story, folks! Horrorific monster finds trapped group of people on the island and .......

    5) The monster eats EVERYONE!! And I mean with a thousand gallons of blood per second. Arms and legs and gore etc..
    The fate of the monster could remain the same - but after everyone is dead - especially the children!

    Hollywood needs me to rewrite these movies dammit.
    You're welcome!

    First off @Fry, no it wasn't. It was far superior to the other two sequels.

    Second @Gunny it perfectly captured the spirit of the first film.

    I am a big Jurassic Park fan and Michael Crichton was my favorite author growing up.

    I dream of a faithful R rated adaptation of Crichton's novel but we will never see it. Spielberg turned a horrifying techno thriller into, well, a PG-13 Spielberg family film.

    I still liked the movie. The body count was pretty high in this one too Gunny. I don't see the complaint even if the gore was off screen.

    Being less smelly than the other two bowls of **** doesn't mean it wasn't terrible. It was terrible.

    It was a bad Godzilla movie, not Jurassic Park.

    The kids served no purpose other than to do stupid things. And they made the older one so ****ing creepy with the way he would stare at girls.

    Their babysitter died a horrible death for no reason. It was so out of place it was distracting.

    "If something chases you....run." Worst foreshadowing ever.

    Why would the scientists use raptor DNA? The most dangerous dinosaur they have. They've given the JP founders fits previously and the DNA was used for no reason. That was never given an explanation, they just did it because, well, they needed a plot twist.

    "Hey, you remember when we worked on grandpa's car that one time? Yeah, we know how to fix cars regardless of what's wrong them now. Even if those cars have been abandoned for 23 years."

    Bryce Dallas Howard can wear high heels and outrun the same T-Rex that couldn't catch a speeding jeep in the first JP.

    And don't even get me started on the weaponization of the raptors on the battlefield. That was insulting to our intelligence. Who in their right mind would use a six-foot tall, uncontrollable reptile as a weapon when we have stinger missiles, drones, anti-tank guns and so on? They wouldn't.

    Anyone who liked that movie was probably in the same class as this kid.

    Forgoing your boy-boner for the main actor - this flick is a big shiny hatbox with a big brown turd inside. It looks like it's going to be something real then just gives way to another JP washout. It wants to be terrifying for a minute then it just lets off the gas in favor of an utterly stupid pile of pop-cinema cliches.

    The vRaptors are conflicted over their allegiance to the trainer - then suddenly become Old Yeller saving Arliss from the bear? Give me a ******* break.
    SUCK.

    Spielberg should be ashamed to have his name anywhere this. If this team made a Jaws remake right now it would turn out the shark was just "defending her babies" and never really meant to hurt anyone - then swims off with an American flag poking out of the water.

    Yeah, I get it that these movies are now made for children and ticket-buying Fan-bots that can't leave a theater without a tucked-in, Bil Keane ending - but it's still a shame that they can't deliver for real just once.

    I can forgive every one of those preposterous conveniences if the main monster actually makes his way to the population and eats some children.
