OFF TOPIC

Sorry to say I didn't think much of it all.

Everyone i talked to before said it was a superb movie.

I know the whole stroy is fantasy/adventure but come on...it went too far. There has to be a line where you say "yeah....at a stretch that could happen" and another where you roll your eyes.

And that women running around being chased by T=rex...in her high heels all the time. Can't they get a simple thing like that right?

Chris Pratt was good. I can see him being the new Indiana Jones. He looked just like him running around the park etc..Seems to have the rugged, good sense of humour to pull that one off. We'll see I guess.

My son liked it..I guess that's what matters but i expected a little better.

I loved the 1st J.P. but they seem to have fallen off since that one. The third one was a joke!

Anyone else feel the same? Am i being too critical??

No, haven't seen it yet, l am waiting for the crowds to thin, a little.

Roll your eyes, LOL, they are all like that, the mathematician casually walking about while the small and nasty ones, were trying to bite his leg off, was pretty stupid, but they just kept missing, urrrgh!

I personally expect this to be stupidly over the top, as the posters depicting large pexiglass viewarea's with a whale sized, dinosaur on the other side, is insane.

Large corporations do make stupid mistakes, but they can afford to, Coke is one good example.

So this movie is playing on stupid CEO's with tons of money and dollar signs in their eyes.

This was almost the highest grossing movie of all time when it opened, so it should be good?

Thanks

High heels was a stretch but it's that sort of movie, I thought it was an alright movie my self. Good story line etc... The next one will be interesting to see where they go with it. Worth the watch, not a disappointment but if you wanna pick at small things, you could.

Thanks

and then does up her shirt like Rambo....why didn't she at least chop the high heels to a flat shoe? It would have made so much sense. Running through a trpical forrest in high heels....i've never tried it but iam guessing it's impossible. Any women (men) shed any light on that?

Some directors like Scorsea (??) are a stickler for minute detail...and it shows. Others don't seem to care that much.

Ha...maybe i should have just gone with the flow?
It was ok...good action, good idea, but i thought it could have been a lot better.

Thanks

  I can honestly say that in every Jurassic movie I've watched....that thought has never occurred to me.

The movement was symbolic, like when a man rolls up his sleeves. It indicated to the audience that, "I'm still in high heels, but dammit..I'm seriously serious about these serious dinosaurs".

It was a kid's movie....or for people who have no knowledge of science.....at all.

I sat in silence, every few minutes thinking..."No human being would say/do that"...or "No dinosaur can really do that".

But, if you just go with the flow, it's a good ride.

I kept telling myself, "Science fiction isn't science". It kept me from crying, during the movie.

If the movie really grabbed you, you wouldn't have noticed the ridiculousness of it all...at least, not as much. Yeah, I agree...Chris Pratt is a new action hero. He'd be a great Indiana Jones.

Thanks

Does anything like this exist for real yet?

Another million dollar product idea: We recreate the Magic Eight Ball. This time, it's the shape of your head. We call it the Magic Cue Ball. The above response would be one of the answers.

Shake the Magic Cue Ball too hard and it farts and you lose your turn. Fun for kids of all ages.

OK, that was good for a laugh...

Honestly, when I was a kid, I thought those Magic 8 Balls were real, and the advice they gave was real. What's weird, is my Mom thought so too. She threw mine away, because she thought it was demonic. But I was maybe 8, and she was an adult.

Eventually I found one, and broke it apart to see how it worked. I was seriously disappointed.
