2015 really was the year when Hollywood fooled us with dumb, overblown reboots of old classics. Grab your shotgun and join me as I break down why Jurassic World is a bad movie.
The thing is, Jurassic Park was a novel in the first place and Michael Crichton spent years on researching the subjects so the story holds up. He also co-wrote the screenplay of the movie. That's why it's so good
You know, one thing that I miss about older movies is that people looked like people. The characters don't look work shopped into oblivion to maximize their physical appeal in every scene.
Ian Malcom’s classic “before you even knew what you had” speech applies to so many movie franchises…Star Wars, Jurassic World, Terminator, Zack Snyder’s DC, Disney/Marvel shows, even the new Halo series, etc….
"Isn't the whole point of Jurasic World that people can get a chance to see and experience animals that walked the Earth millions of years ago? Why would they want to see some horrifying mutated crossbreed that never actually existed?"
While I agree with the overall review I almost thought that the introduction of GMO/"more diverse" dinosaurs was going to hit on one of the more poignant conflicts from the original book that did not make it into the original movie. The conflict is between Hammond and Wu and the next update to the cloned dinosaurs in the park. A conflict which speaks to the nature of entertainment and reality and customer expectations where Wu says
Remember when stories like alien, Jaws, or even the previous Jurassic Park movies, where the tension came from how much closer the creatures were getting
You forgot to mention the part when the velociraptor and tyrannosaurus rex turned to each other, exchanged a high-five, and then the raptor said, "I know we haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but it has been an honor to fight by your side" and the T-Rex responded, "I do not know what tomorrow may bring, but today we are brothers."
