Ok so does the big guy look a bit like a raptor to anyone else or is it just me?

I don't know why these movies just refuse to acknowledge how good humans are at killing things. There would be dino hunting safaris and every ammo manufacturer in the states would start charging insane prices for "dino killing" bullets which would literally just be regular bullets painted green.

It's like the original Dawn of the Dead and that SWAT guy in the projects raid at the start, who just stands there going "uaaaaaaahhhhh" as the zombie is slowly shambling towards him while the other guy is like "mate, shoot him for gently caress's sake" over and over.

The films completely fall apart if you acknowledge that people can kill stuff.

28 Days Later seemed to have the most plausible zombie apocalypse. They're fast, crazy athletic, any of their fluids infect you, and they're all bottled up in Britain? Yeah I see it, napalm or no napalm.

I can see the Dawn of the Dead remake zombies causing serious problems. Anyone armed would take down a few of them will get shot down, but if there's a bunch doing a zergrush, then yeah, good luck.

Yeah, airborne spores that can infect even after they're killed will do it. Especially now that we've seen how Americans feel about wearing masks for safety.

Man, I hope the HBO show will be good.

It's so sad what that franchise has become. I wish Pratt would do the hand thing at a dino and then just get chomped

It’s amazing how much better JP The Lost World and JP3 are (faint praise) after watching these lovely JW movies.

The concept of domesticated / “tamed” raptors is so, so dumb. It’s like “taming” a xenomorph.

JW2 is the best one since the original precisely because it’s so stupid. Every JP sequel after the first one has been stupid, JW2 is at least smart enough to lean into that stupidity.

If you can’t enjoy the amazing fun-stupidity of the scene where the raptor realizes a bomb is about to explode or whatever, and then stops what it’s doing to run away from it with the bomb exploding in slo-mo behind it, I don’t know what to tell you

The only sin that movie committed was a failure to go full blown batshit insane and make the little girl have dinosaur DNA. At one point I was sure the movie was going in that direction and I was disappointed when they didn’t follow through with it

Precocious clone girl was really hilariously stupid. I kind of wish they’d never mention her again, partly because precocious children in movies are annoying, but mostly because it would be hilariously stupid to drop such a bombshell development in between movies.

JP3 is fun to revisit not only in light of the godawful JW movies, but also modern blockbusters in general. Sure, JP3 has its dumb moments, but there's a refreshing simplicity and straightforwardness to it all—that and it's so earnest. There's no ironic distance in the tone, no smugness in the characters, the action scenes feel grounded in reality (less so the hanggliding scene), the story isn't a convoluted mess, the goal of the film isn't to set up another film, there's tons of practical effects on display, etc etc. It's like a perfectly solid adventure-of-the-week episode in a Jurassic Park TV show—not remarkable, but it does the job.

Some of that is due to the fact that the script was thrown out 3 weeks before production, so keeping it so simple was a survival technique. But I think time has mostly been kind to it.

It's kind of a rehash of the first JW where the indominus rex very clearly had human DNA too, but it must have gotten dropped at some stage of the film's development.

World War Z book version (not the poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo poo film) had a decent excuse why most guns were useless with the US Army scene.
Soldiers teched up with the latest satellite real time data, machine guns, etc, against a horde in New York, and turns out its all useless as bullets not hitting zombie brains were wasted and the horde ovewhelmed them.

Yeah the book pretty much said all of the armies weapons were worthless so the army designed some .22 caliber rifle that was only for headshots. It was really really really stupid. Pretty sure artillery will stop a zombie.

high caliber or high volume small arms fire is also just going to turn them into an immobile mess. the world war z/zombie survival guide approach of taking this stuff and applying TACTICAL REALISM is dumb because it can't be done. Slow unarmed people are not dangerous to armies. They are fun monsters in horror stories, not an interesting tactical problem for officer school

Same with the Pterodactyl turning around in the foreground and looking directly into the camera by the river. Creepy as poo poo.

The raptor dream scene on the plane.

Dr. Grant digging through Dino poo poo and that orange t-Rex thing sniffs them before walking away got a good laugh from me.
