Ok, so I've seen Jurassic World and today I saw San Andreas. San Andreas was better. I'll take a tsunami over a T-rex fight, I guess. Wouldn't mind seeing it again, actually.

Jurassic World just annoyed me. The lead chick was obnoxious. I hate it when prissy women make that "tssst" sound after every other word. Makes me wanna smack 'em for being pretentious because you don't need to do that unless you have a lisp. And Joss was totally right about someone being stuck in the 70's. You take out the updated tech and it COULD have been set about then.

Even my kid hated her....

Wasn't she suppose to be hated ?

And I'll have to agree w/ the T. Rex, Indominous Rex , Velociraptor, Mososaur " fight ". It wasn't as bad as The Lost World one, because at least the T. Rex...well, I won't spoil.

Crap job with character development then, I still didn't like her by the end.

I'd rather hate the villains, than the chick the guy ends up with at the end. I mean, it's not exactly a relationship ta root for (and believe me- I didn't!)

Maybe they were going for the whole "there's no villians here, just flawed people to be redeemed"

She's not worth it....

I probably need to agree with this. SA had far less plot to deal with, but did it far better.
Was the original Jurassic this bad? I remember the ramp up for the original, the postponement of that ER TV show for a few years in favor of Jurassic, and the casting I enjoyed. This one didn't exactly make me think it was much different, which makes me wonder if the first was really this horrible. I felt like I was stuck in a Gravity sequel - the stupidest people that could be found competing to out-stupid each other just like Gravity. Worse than a bad horror film. Will anybody really want to see this again, other than kids in 3D? I regret wasting my time on it. Fortunately, followed it up with Terminator on it's opening night and showtime (and a far less crowded theater than Jurassic.)

lol I would watch Jurrasic World again. Heck I might even get it on bluray. The main female character was supposed to be annoying in her pretentiousness. That was kind of her thing. She gets redeemed by the end IMO. Whatever it was just a fun action movie with frickin dinosaurs.

I'll wait for it on Netflix. Hey maybe they'll do a sequel?

Don't disagree with what ya said. But then, the 2 boys were annoying as well, imo.

Also, Claire sort of reminded me, more than a little, of Rachel from Orphan Black. At least, that's how she started off the movie. There was suppose to be this great transformation as she began to see things differently , blah blah blah. Would have been funnier and more true to form had she stayed in origianl B-mode, despite seeing the real world, up close and personal.

And D'Onofrio wasn't annoying? Or the security guard?
Maybe easier to list likeable characters. Pratt. Maybe the tech guy in the control booth. Who else? They weren't caricatures of stupid at least.

Jurassic World is now ahead of Age of Ultron. Ooh, it's definitely the end times. It will be especially outrageous if Jurassic World also passes Marvel's The Avengers (2012).
