    I hated the two previous films. This one doesn’t look any better.

    It’s because nothing since the second movie has been based on the source material. I understand having to suspend belief for movies like this. But it just looks like thrown together shit.

    I’ll say the same thing I said about the teaser. It looks like the worst movie ever made. Which means I’ll only watch it 10 or so times. Because I love bad movies.

    God damn it was like railing ten viagara at once.

    I’ve seen the first Jurassic World and part of the second. They don’t even have the cheesy one liners or decent action set pieces of truly so bad it’s good movies. Just ruining my childhood.

    It honestly would not be hard to make it better, but they are simply making expensive bad movies with zero camp/cult value to them, so they instantly become dated after released. Like “Real Steel”— another movie I fucking hated, which for some insane reason took itself semi-seriously in a completely ridiculous setting.

    Was Midsommar an A24 film? Because I’ve seen Florence Pugh’s fucking flower face so many times that I have no interest in seeing the movie.

    I also don’t enjoy horror movies in general, but I refuse to see that one.

    It’s more than that. Putting the action hero archetype in a Jurassic Park movie is stupid. The original was thrilling because it was a bunch of scientists using their background to figure out how to survive against the very thing they spent their lives studying. The stakes were believable. No one thinks Chris Pratt or Ron Howard’s daughter are going to get eaten. People like it because it hits the nostalgia points at the right moments. Nostalgia for far better movies.

    Those people are fucking retards. If you want nostalgia, watch Jurassic Park—since its release it hasn’t aged a day. No dinosaur movie/sequel since it was made had bestowed any sort of wonder or amazement in viewers. I simply refuse to believe that there’s any “nostalgia” left to be had, so we are hearing the opinion of CGI fanboys who think anything with lots of effects means it’s a blockbuster.

    …,the same people who thought that “Free Guy” was awesome. No it wasn’t, it fucking sucked.

    Hell the second one isn't that great. Not terrible like the rest. These still make mint so they'll keep pumping them out. Luckily I think Terminator and Die Hard have petered out and we wont have to endure constant flogging of the IP. When's the new Alien?

    I prefer trailers that don’t reveal everything.

    Edit: Sorry she was my second crush after Jessica Rabbit. Who most certainly gave me my unhealthy obsession with female breast.

    Social Consequences sounds like the class strippers take at the community college you're paying for.

    lol, what are those? Like you can't go to a cocktail party and carry on a normal conversation with women there without going "hey, how about that weather? AND WOW YOU HAVE GREAT TITS! Please pass the guacamole."

    Well,it is a cocktail party. And as a man, if you’re drunk you’re factually not responsible for your actions/words. It’s in the Bible.
