Jurrasic Park was the first movie I saw in a movie theater. No other movie theater experience ever came close to that one.

All of the new movies are completely forgettable.

I know they keep making them, but it seems very much like the horror trope of “how many times can you go into the hauntedhouse with the serial killer lives“

I've seen the first one like 5 times and Jurassic World just once.

Jurassic Park: stillbirth.

GOD DAMNIT!!! I CAN'T VIEW THIS TOPIC UNTIL AFTER TOMORROW!!!!

I'm going to see the new one! SO NO SPOILERS!!!

But in general, the 1993 original is my favorite movie of all time.

The lost world was meh.

The 3rd one was hilariously bad.

Jurassic World was an effort to return to form, but it had MASSIVE problems. This is the one where they tried to turn the dinosaurs into characters, and monsters. The whole concept works if the dinosaurs are just animals. Majestic, and dangerous animals. They're not supposed to have characters or motivations.

The second Jurassic World is completely forgetable. Barely a Jurassic film. The worst of the six.

The third Jurassic World plays this delicate balancing act between nostolgia film, and completely unrelated different film entirely. I mean seriously....locusts??? Why???

I'm too excited about tomorrow.

My wife really wants to see it, I guess I'll sit through it, might be surprised.

If there's a ScarJo trilogy, this will probably be better than the two that follow it. So that's... something, I guess.

Only because you think she's hot. Her acting is sub-par.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

To be clear, I meant that this movie would be better than a 2nd and 3rd with her, not better than any of the previous movies. Nothing to do with her appearance, just that the first movie in each trilogy is the best of each of those trilogies imo.

Fair, but that's pretty much always true. Even the first fast and furious movie was pretty decent despite Paul walkers bad acting, may he RIP.
