FYI the Jurassic Park novel is far superior because John Hammond dies, as he deserves to.

There is finally a feathered raptor - a Pyroraptor - that jumps into near freezing water and then zips around underwater like a super fast seal, lol what

Q: What was the velociraptor's favorite lunch?

A: A Hammond cheese sandwich.

His actual death is pretty hilarious,

Later in the novel, Hammond is killed by a pack of Procompsognathus after falling down a hill and breaking his ankle, running from what he thought was the juvenile T. rex, but was really a recorded tyrannosaur roar over the park's P.A. system played by his grandchildren.

How was the laser dot system with the killer raptors supposed to work? Don't the raptors have to see the dot? There are scenes where the raptors are clearly not looking at the dot but they still give chase. Who cares I guess?

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I like when they introduce a little side villain who's built up like a big deal with her own trained raptors and then she totally disappears from the movie.

Then there's ANOTHER side villain that shows up right near the end, like he's the main bad guy's secret bodyguard or something, and he also just disappears.

And I really like how the main villain keeps asking for food bars and you think this is going to pay off but it never does, instead he dies in a really bizarre homage to the first movie that seems to suggest he's somehow aware of events in that first movie that nobody in the world could be. Which is fitting because he also has access to the shaving cream can that was buried in mud in a random spot on an island that was then abandoned and eventually destroyed by a volcano.

I can believe brining dinosaurs back using dna harvested from blood inside ancient mosquitos trapped in amber and I can also believe scientists making a hybrid super t-rex that can turn itself invisible to sell to the army, but there is no way in hell you'd be able to drive a 1992 jeep wrangler after it's spent 21 years in storage by jury-rigging a different battery to it.

I mean there is just no way, come on man. I'm here for dinosaur science fiction not propaganda from the Fiat Chrysler corporation.

I like how in the first movie every dinosaur (and non dinosaur) acted like a monster and not an animal. And also went the two 8 ton dinosaurs threw each other on the ground multiple times by the neck without being permanently crippled in the final fight.

Wasn’t there an instance in the latest movie where two characters outran a velociraptor on foot, but then later Chris Pratt jumps on a motorcycle going at top speed and could not outrun another (the same?) velociraptor?

That raptor just ate at Arby's before chasing Pratt on foot, so it was feeling kind of logy. Once it had a sit down it was back to normal.

Second and third movies were kind of a pastiche of scenes taken from both books that didn't fit in elsewhere

They didn't really fit in those movies either but They Tried

It's amazing Crichton had such a successful career when his books break the cardinal rule of storytelling.

Fifth graders don’t care. I read jurassic park at that age and loved it.

Also read a few of his others and they couldn’t capture that magic. Think it was Congo, Sphere, and Terminal Man. All terrible even by 11 year old standards.
