Starlord indicates they didnt have a 2nd date. Maybe there's none there because there isn't any there.

Your last 2 complaints are that it's a common scenario which isn't really a complaint as much as an observation.

No, my last 2 complaints are that it's bland.

And if there's no chemistry or energy between the two leads, then why are they being given scenes where they have to verbally spar and ease in lots of exposition in between. Chemistry =/= Romantic Chemistry. It leads to clunky garbage like that scene.

You don't know if it's bland because you've seen less than 2 minutes of it. Chris pratt is always fun to watch. People who believe that ideas and stories can be inherently bad or bland aren't making a legitimate criticism because every scenario can be called bland. The execution is what matters, and in this case, apart form Chris pratt being himself I don't see a real problem. there's not enough there to make an honest determination either way really.

Well, I'd be a little bit concerned since the director (and one of the writers) was hired based on Safety Not Guaranteed which had good dialogue and acting (according to wikipedia). If the only thing he is here for sucks as hard as that scene then I am worried. We all know he wasn't hired for his great visual eye or his action direction skills, that's what the cgi-artists and second unit is for, just like on every Marvel movie, or any other big blockbuster nowadays. With Jurassic Park you could say "Well that certainly was a Steven Spielberg movie", whereas with this you will probably say "well that certainly was some movie with cgi dinosaurs".

This movie won't be good but I'm going to go see it because it has Chris Pratt riding a motorcycle with a gang of raptors and flying dinosaurs killing tourists.

There's no reason that two performers that charismatic should have such a banal and trite scene together.

Also, it's just really, really forced. She's the straight-laced businesswoman with a type-A personality! He's the wacky, carefree romantic!

It would slot perfectly in the middle of a movie starring Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl.

Unfortunately, these are the correct observations. Ah well.

That was a bad scene with poo poo acting and poo poo writing but I don't care because dinosaurs are rad. It's not like anyone expected this film to match or surpass the original in the first place, right?

I would have liked it if it wasn't apparently trying to be some kind of rom com bullshit in the middle of the dinosaur action.

I mean hell if Star Lord is the Raptor Man, why not have a few hanging out at his house? That's how Cheetah Man works.

That scene would have been 500% improved by some raptors just chillin in the background, wandering around, maybe fighting over a mouse.

To be fair, pretty much every (non-raptor) scene in the history of movies would be improved by that.

Wow, that was surprisingly cringey.
I thought I was watching an unfunny tryhard Parks & Recs episode for a minute there.

If this is how Chris Pratt's going to act for the entire movie then I think he was horribly miscast.

It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
I kind of liked that scene, and I agree that it's nice to see Chris Pratt be funny rather than stoic, like the trailers kind of portray him.

I do think its weird to market a dinosaur movie with a clip featuring exactly zero dinosaurs.

Yea I'm more worried that the dinosaur scenes will just be the same old poo poo and the CGI won't even be AAA work. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is the new measuring stick, and if you're making a loving Jurassic Park sequel, you'd better strive to be as good or even better than what's come before. I know I'm too old for a new movie to reproduce what I felt seeing Jurassic Park for the first time, but I'm thinking more about the kids of today who will see this movie. If they watch it and say "those dinos look fake, this isn't as awesome as Planet of the Apes or Godzilla", then there is a problem.

It was a commercial on MTV right? Maybe it was just marketing trying to hit the right demographic?

Not only that, but these days making photo-realistic looking dinos is a lot easier than you might think for a big production studio with talented artists, I'm sure they'll handle it just fine.

Ah, I see we're at the bargaining stage.

This clip isn't damning for the whole movie by any means, but trying to excuse away that the scene is bad is really dumb. This is a bad scene. It could be a bad scene in a good movie, but we don't know that yet. We do know it is a bad scene in a movie with a bunch of cool dinosaurs so it probably doesn't matter in the long run.
