We rewatched FK a few months back and god drat is that movie well-directed, especially the opening scene which is intense as balls and genuinely scary and the whole sequence of the destruction of the island. RIP to my fallen hero Brachiosaurus who just wanted a space on the boat, that scene was sad as hell  It's such a shame that the screenplay is so punishingly, relentlessly awful and particularly falls apart in the final act with the evil men auction in the super-secret dinosaur zoo in the basement that the baddie somehow managed to build in complete secrecy. What exactly are these bad men going to do with these dinosaurs that aren't good for anything and cost millions just in maintenance and care? What in the everloving gently caress is the point of a gun that you have to point at a target and pull the trigger for the dinosaur to attack, can't you just use a normal gun?? They couldn't think of a better way to dispatch of Buffalo Bill other than him tiptoeing up to the particularly dangerous dinosaur to attempt to extract a tooth, then acting all surprised and horrified when this backfires! There's also a truly hilarious scene at the end in which Owen and Blue more or less just have a candid conversation, complete with Blue tilting her head towards the escaping dinosaurs like this is the final scene of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and she's telling him that she's found his home. That's one of the things that really grated me about JW and FK; the Raptors go from terrifyingly intelligent and well-organised in comparison to other animals to basically of equal intelligence to human beings.
