_The Lost World: Jurassic Park_ rules. Its only flaws are the lack of lead-up shots between the escape and San Diego, and cutting multiple scenes of the best character in the entire franchise, Roland Tembo.
@TheOwneroftheIC it would just sleep on the rest of the ship instead if going back into its little enclosure and somehow closing the doors on top of it. Plus, it would've done serious damage to the ship, which it didn't. The baby couldn't have caused damage because it's leg was broken. Plus, people could've easily tranquilized it like what Roland did. Also, the ship was moving and moving fast and crashed into the docks. It would not sleep through that.
I recently rewatched the first movie for the first time in years, and I cannot believe how good it still is! I loved every second, it’s an absolute masterpiece.
Paleontology is the study of fossil remains of past forms of life, including plants. She is both a paleobotanist and a paleontologist as one is a sub-category of the other.
Surplus killing happens in nature rather regularly so “killing for sport” doesn’t even make the Indominus all that special and the spoken dialogue therefore only exists for the sake of shallow spectacle.
@@Dinoslayit does make it special because animals only do that for survival reasons. Indominus Rex did it purely for the feel and seeing how powerful it is. Even dangerous animals know what they instinctively are. The Indominus didn't know what it was and had enough intelligence to like killing things. It was a literal sadistic monster.
@@william3100The indominus did it because that’s how it had been raised. It wasn’t socialised at all. An Animal that isn’t socialised and has never hunt for its food. Is obviously not going to link hunting with food. It’s just going to hunt for the thrill.
@wannabKsi True, but remember the line that Owen said, "she is seeing all of this for the first time. SHE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS. She will kill anything that moves. " Her not knowing who she is is pretty interesting because she was a mismatch of a bunch of different animals rolled into one. Animals have an instinctive identity because they have had millions of years to evolve into what they are currently. They evolved physical and psychological traits to match what they needed to become. The indominus was nothing like that. It was just created out of the blue with many different things and behaviors thrown in. It makes sense that her behaviors and ways of thinking and understanding would be very messed and all over the place.
Fallen Kingdom and Dominion were the only objectively bad movies; boring action, cringe humor & incompetent writing with no charm, appeal, or genuine thrills. (The marketing for both films was also just a flat out lie)
I have watched all 6 movies, and the only 2 I actually loved are Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion. I currently have all 6 on either Blu-ray or dvd's. Only Jurassic World Dominion, I have a 4k blu-ray ultra HD copy.
Oh sure, it's better than bad movies ie. the rest of this franchise, that I'll agree with. However, The Lost World is still the textbook definition of a wholly unnecessary sequel, and is complete garbage when compared to the first movie.
Lost World was a hack job of the novel. My guess is the novel wasn't exciting enough for as true of an adaptation as Jurassic Park was considering technology constraints it dealt with. I liked 3, it used some of the material from the books that were left out of the other two movies. My memories are also favorable as I watched Land Before Time, Jurassic Park, Jurassic Park 3 on a loop when babysat my 4 year old niece. Fun times watching monster movies with the munchkin. Only thing that scared her was the giant amoeba at the end of Evolution
@@vykryl65 The book wouldn't have been a good movie. I like it but it had a stereotypical villain who was mostly ignored in JP1. Interestingly, the booklets for Jurassic Park 2 for GameBoy claims he's in the game, but he isn't. :P
I actually like The Lost World a lot despite its flaws. As a kid I thought it was too dark, but as an adult, I enjoy seeing the film through Ian's eyes and the complete chaos that ensues. Spielberg's classic style is all over that film, and there's so many memorable scenes that if they had stuck closer to the book, it might've even eclipsed the original in quality.
The change in the sequels to portraying the dinosaurs as monsters rather than animals is the biggest transgression of the sequels as it fundamentally changed the audience's point of view. In JP1 & 2 you're not privy to anything the characters aren't; you're going through the experience WITH them. That's a deliberate, important creative decision by Spielberg. From JP3 onwards you're on the side of the "puppeteers", to use a timely comparison. You're now (as a viewer) more omniscient, instead of sympathetic. It’s criminal film making.

I think you're a little hard on tlw. I feel like it's one of the only movies that shows the dinosaurs in a natural way and weren't movie monsters. The cast didn't have issues with dinosaurs until they found them in their territory or interacting with them directly. I always felt they became movie monsters.
Calling it dull is absolutely ridiculous. I find it way more intense than movie 1, and most kills look terrifying. But hey, CZcams reviewers are like 20 and watch that stuff on their phone.
I like a lot of elements from the book, but there were way too many "convenient" moments (i.e. Muldoon's tranquilizer knocking the rex out right before it ate Tim, there being a hidden supply of neurotoxin grenades that nobody knew about, the smaller rex distracting the bigger rex right before it reached Grant's boat).
Personally. I think the movie is better. In the book, it’s just like “now we’re gonna find a raptor nest”. Although the story was longer, it felt more tacked together than the movie. Furthermore, the violence in the book feels more like it’s trying to be dark, compared to the movie which felt more story driven and not just violence for violence.
Casual take. Jurassic Park 3 is lean and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Lost World is a bloated corporate mess of ideas that were made on a whim, quickly, and cheaply. And nothing in Jurassic Park 3 comes close to the heinous crime of having a girl beat velociraptors with gymnastics.
Having grown up on this franchise I have never paid to see a Jurassic Park movie and I never will, I'll probably die before they ever stop making them.
Jurassic World was awesome. That and the first one, Jurassic Park, are the only good ones Also. Why do people care about product placement?

I agree with everything said in the video. One thing I'd expand upon is that the original movie was a cinematic acheivement that in my opinion was unmatched (at least within sci fi) until Dune 2. The realization of the dinosaurs was both a pinnacle of practical effects and our INTRODUCTION to the possibilities of CGI. On top of that, paleontology and dinosaurs were a topic of great imagination with a lot of creative effort going into the topic even before Jurassic Park came out. It was both a brand new visual paradigm and it met a cultural moment that I think declined through the 90s. The much better path for the studio to capitalize on Jurassic Park would actually have been to have Spielberg bring Dinotopia to life the way he did Jurassic Park.
The Lost World is my favorite of the franchise because it was the first one I saw. I will say, it’s easier to appreciate the film when looking at is as a remake of the 1920s Lost World rather than a sequel to Jurassic Park.
While I was suffering through the second part of Jurassic World, my neck was already getting weary from shaking my head, and my forehead was red and swollen from a *lot* of face palming. But I managed to watch until the last scenes. It was hard, but I managed to "swallow" all that nonsense. And then, within those last scenes, within the last few *minutes* they made it. They *broke* me. That whole: "Oh, poisonous gas is killing the dinosaurs, let's open their *cage* doors, to let *them* out, and *not* open the huge gate first, to let the *gas* escape", to: "They are like me, they should be free", without any of the two adults even *trying* to argue with the kid, that this might actually be a bad idea, to mindlessly opening said huge gate, and release a bunch of huge, primeval beasts into a populated area, to: "Oops - now they're gone. I guess, the world is going to be different from now on..", with no further actions being taken by the protagonists, to the final *audacity* of the makers: to try to sell this as kind of an "happy end"!?! That did it for me. I was flabberghasted. I had a nonsense overload and just couldn't take it no more. I watched this movie on free tv, but I still have the feeling I want my money back! (To cite a great YT film critic). Never watched the third film, and never will.
@@outsideintel Thank you, ❤️ and: Keep on yelling! Such stupid flicks really *deserve* to be yelled at!! There is something that I call a "Ja, weil auch" moment, which is something me a and an ex-boyfriend of mine used to have. We watched a movie together, a huge plot-hole or logical mistake appears, and one of us just had to say: "Ja, weil auch!", and we both knew what the other one meant. (Like, *of course* a human can outrun a pyroclastic flow!, and other things that "actually make sense, if you don't think about it!") Nowadays, I don't have the bf anymore, but I've still got the same thing with my sister. The sad thing about this is, there's nothing special about it, like having a very good mental or emotional connection to the person I have such moments with. As long as anyone has more than two brain cells to rub together, they will automatically stumble over these mistakes, and, after too many of them, start to speak about them. (Let's face it: There is a biological limit to eye-rolling. After a while, it just *hurts* 😉.) And movies like Fallen Kingdom are just too packed with such moments, until the very end, and that's why what was meant to entertain, finally becomes just annoying. 🙄
Edit: Among the last, but not the least: Hello David, I'm pleased to meet you! I am Ute. 👋🏻 And there are two more things I need to add, that are part of my rant, but do not concern the Fallen Kingdom. To be precise, there are a lot more things to add, but I already wrote too much in my comments. Let's therefore take the first two things that came to my mind. 1.: Jurassic World. Did they really have to feed a great white shark to the Mosasaurus? They are a rare, very important species, and have to become very old to be this big. And they don't even remotely have any sufficient nutritional value to sustain the body of the Mosasaurus. So, what's the purpose of this "show" feeding? Sensationalism. This movie was released in 2015, ffs, they are not going to tell me that they never heard how important it is to preserve sharks? 🤦🏻♀️ (Or are we going to blame this on the audience, too?) 2. The Tomorrow War. The "Why?" and "Of course" moments chased each other in this flick. But one of my most favorite was the one when our main protagonist kicked the mother alien in the face, and it retreated. *Of course* these indestructible beasts do have the alien equivalent of the "glass chin" some boxers have, just that it located in their snouts! 🙄
Deserves a sub just for that "explains a lot" clip of Trevorrow banging two dino toys into each other. 😆 Sad at the reveal of how much Spielberg is to blame for the crappy storylines though, damn. Great video!
Yeah he has some really goofy ideas occasionally, but he’s just so candid about it you can’t stay mad at him. Spielberg has the heart of a child, but Trevorrow has the mind of a child.
@@outsideintel Great CZcams video and channel, but I found the background music was too loud and distracting. I would strongly suggest you get rid of it altogether. I firmly believe that background music is distracting, annoying, and unnecessary (especially for educational or opinionated videos with lots of talking). I also believe that people want to hear you speak/get information/hear your opinions and not hear generic background music that doesn't really add anything useful and that people have to mentally filter out. Plus it will be one less thing you will have to do when making videos. Thank you.
SERIOUSLY THIS FRANCHISE JUST NEEDS TO DIE AND HAVE A REAL ACTUAL REINVENTION NOT JUST A REMAKE! We just need a new and fresh adaptation of it that is true to the novel and rated R. I remember reading the book years ago and it was very violent and scary. From the very beginning this franchise has been inhibited by its PG-13 family friendly tone even though they did have some pretty dark moments scattered throughout the films I feel like it could be so much better especially now since r-rated movies are making more money ever since Deadpool
While l’ve grown to appreciate Jurassic Park 3 more over the years as l’ve witnessed the World franchise train wreck, in my opinion it is not the best Park sequel.
Whenever I see scenes of JP1 I'm like "Man this movie is SO GOOD." It has pacing you will NEVER see these days since everything has to be 3 hours. However, I grew up with JP2 and fed on all the marketing (games, two comics, behind the scenes material, toys etc.) and have higher nostalgia for that one. Also I loved the tiger striped Raptors in JP2.
The most amazing thing about the original is they went into production with no idea how they were going to make the dinosaurs look real. I had assumed Spielberg was willing to try it because of new CGI tech he was confident could make it look realistic.
Thing is jurassic park was the first movie to ever put dinosaurs on screen and they nailed it. Which was part of the formula that made it so good. That's the factor it's missing bow days Which is why everyone hates the new movies . Jw1 only made so much because of people's expectation on it.
@@outsideintel I'm new to your channel and I've subscribed, I think your videos are really good. One TV show I think would be good for you to do. A show that had a long painful death is the Simpsons.
I will never tolerate hate toward The Lost World. In my mind that movie is up there with Aliens and Terminator 2 as a perfect movie sequel. Jurassic Park 3 is more a product of studio interference than a lust for money, much like Alien 3. I agree though. What I want is new ideas. There are a million stories to tell when you have living dinosaurs, but they keep telling the same one. I was honestly surprised that they were going for another functioning park when I saw the trailer for JW. Hybrids aren't new enough of a concept to warrant three more movies. Give us something truly new.
This was a good watch! Personally I think they should have stopped after The Lost World, and I was hoping they'd stop now after Dominion, but it looks like even more are on the way.
Many thanks! And yeah it’s even more infuriating they’re making more since Trevorrow said in an interview recently that Jurassic Park is “unfranchisable” and should never have had any sequels 😑
@@outsideintel I'm convinced he only said that because in reality he's just an inept bait & switch hack who got lucky with Jurassic World and the success for it all just went to his head.
20:46 seriously between this this moment and him saying the word turd was the most unnatural forced thing I believe I've ever heard. Just giving you crap man you do a good job on these videos
Michael Crichton was such a hack that he didn't just write "The Lost World" to create the sequel movie, he even retconned the fates of Ian Malcolm and John Hammond from the original book!
At the ending of Jurassic World, they should have had the Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus Rex fist bump and then go their separate ways. That's what I thought was going to happen as I was watching this in theaters.
3:30 sorry but no. Its not even fair to compare them. Yes the movie is your staple summer blockbuster with some heart. But the book is another beast all together.
You could write a good Jurassic Park sequel by lifting heavily from the beginning and end of the original Jurassic Park book. In the end, they strongly believe that Raptors and perhaps other dinosaurs have already escaped to the mainland. There are reports of dinosaurs roaming about and ravaging crops rich in lysine. The book starts with dinosaur attacks on babies in Costa Rica, I think compies but you could make them raptors as well. I say go full circle and start any sequel there. Make that the opening scene, a baby is snatched from its crib in the middle of the night somewhere in Central America. Next scene: a couple on holiday take their daughter to the beach, she is attacked by a small dino but they rescue her and bring her back to a nearby hospital. The couple don't see the dino, but the kid draws it. The body of the baby dino is recovered and sent to the states for analysis where it is examined by the same woman from the books who recognises the dinosaur from the kid's picture. Bla bla bla, people visit Costa Rica to investigate. And say this all takes place in a universe without the Jurassic Park movies, so only a select few people even know of Jurassic Park, what happened there is a closely guarded secret, but there have been rumours. Could go anywhere from here. Read the book. It's good.
I never had trouble understanding Sarah Harding. Do people these days not understand words like "narcoleptic"? Seriously? I never batted an eye, even way back in the 90's. "Narcoleptic" is a junior high word, tops (IMO). The second movie, despite its flaws is better than the third.
Jurassic Park was amazing. The Lost World is darkly fantastic. Jurassic Park 3 is a fun romp, just turn off your brain. Jurassic World was absolutely awesome. Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom was alright. Jurassic World Dominion was.
In my opinion, the only good Jurassic movies are: -Jurassic Park: though very generic plot wise, what this movie managed to do for all future movies will always be worth praising it for. The cgi, animatronics, cast, etc. all perfect. My only complaint is it feels very predictable and generic story wise. -Jurassic Park 3: not a good film by any means, but a dumb fun movie. Think of Kong x Godzilla 2. -Jurassic World: my personal favorite in the Jurassic franchise. I understand why a lot of you don’t like it, but man oh man is it fun. It’s just non stop fun from start to finish. Goofy? Of course, but so much fun.
ooof i love your work a lot, but i gotta hard disagree on the acting in jp3 vs the lost world. i did a recent rewatch of 3, and i literally had to turn it off because i wasnt buying the dialogue and acting. that said, i can watch jp1 and the lost world anytime (even if the second isn't a good film)
Making Wu a mad scientist was a good idea I think. It paved the way for him to absolutely kill it as Dr. Hugo Strange in the Gotham tv show, just chewing all of the scenes!
Whats great about Jurassic World 1 is, that (most likely unintentionally) it follows the predictions of Henry Wu in the original novel. There, Wu had inner thoughts about the creation of dinosaurs as an attraction, regarding that they have to look like the customers know and expect for marketing purposes. Then he predicted that customers would eventually lose interest, so they would make the dinosaurs more dangerous, more scary looking, and maybe create something new. This happened in World.
Jurrasic Park managed reimagine dinosaurs as active cunning creatures that would be still around if space rock didn't change everything. Lost World continued in it and JPIII at least tried. World trilogy throw all of that out of window for empy specticle and huge pile of nonsense that might worked in parody. At least we have Prehistoric Planet. And Park and Kingdom.
The scene where the kids are in the stupid moving ball and looking at their phones not even interested in the dinosaurs is just the pinnacle of the problems with the modern generations. In the 90's the original was about so much wonder and appreciation for dinosaurs. All of that is gone and replaced with cynicism, nihilism, politics and disgusting characters.
Massive eye roll. Jurassic Park should be seen as a standalone film much like Jaws should be seen. I cringed hard when they made Jurassic World. Pure money grabbing bullshit.
Love your videos. Just want to mention a couple things that annoy and anger me about some people in these movies. Bryce dallas howard insisted on wearing high heels to outrun a t-rex, and wayne knight was a pedophile. You pretty much said everything else.

Read it easily ten times as a kid. Picked up a copy a couple years back, and oh boy, the writing is just god awful.
The book's biotech stuff has dated very poorly and the chaos theory was mumbo jumbo even then.

You're guys voiceover commentary reminds me of Edward Norton in Fight Club. Smart, sharp, great use of music and sound.
JP3 was actually pretty good.
Great to know there are people that feel the same out there.
I think the novel Jurassic Park is better than the movie. Spielberg didn't amp it up, he dumbed it down and sanitized it for kids.
I think the dialogue and flow is better in the film, but I love the book and og script by Rick Carter.

Personally. I think the movie is better. In the book, it’s just like “now we’re gonna find a raptor nest”. Although the story was longer, it felt more tacked together than the movie.

The 3rd movie is better than 2nd as much as Alien 3 is better than Aliens.
Alien 3 is better than Aliens
Enjoying your videos keep up the good work looking forwards to seeing what movies you do next 😀
Much appreciated! 🙏🙏 Got a bunch coming up next year
TURNS OUT THE CONCERNS ARE VALID - the most true thing about any scifi movie ever
The Lost World is my favorite of the franchise because it was the first one I saw. I will say, it’s easier to appreciate the film when looking at is as a remake of the 1920s Lost World rather than a sequel to Jurassic Park.
... since when TLW: JP a remake of the 1920's TLW?!
While I was suffering through the second part of Jurassic World, my neck was already getting weary from shaking my head, and my forehead was red and swollen from a *lot* of face palming. But I managed to watch until the last scenes. It was hard, but I managed to "swallow" all that nonsense.
And then, within those last scenes, within the last few *minutes* they made it. They *broke* me.
That whole: "Oh, poisonous gas is killing the dinosaurs, let's open their *cage* doors, to let *them* out, and *not* open the huge gate first, to let the *gas* escape", to: "They are like me, they should be free", without any of the two adults even *trying* to argue with the kid, that this might actually be a bad idea, to mindlessly opening said huge gate, and release a bunch of huge, primeval beasts into a populated area, to: "Oops - now they're gone. I guess, the world is going to be different from now on..", with no further actions being taken by the protagonists, to the final *audacity* of the makers: to try to sell this as kind of an "happy end"!?!
That did it for me. I was flabberghasted. I had a nonsense overload and just couldn't take it no more.
I watched this movie on free tv, but I still have the feeling I want my money back! (To cite a great YT film critic).
Never watched the third film, and never will.
Couldn't agree more! I was yelling at the screen by the end of Fallen Kingdom lol
- David
@@outsideintel Thank you, ❤️ and: Keep on yelling! Such stupid flicks really *deserve* to be yelled at!!
There is something that I call a "Ja, weil auch" moment, which is something me a and an ex-boyfriend of mine used to have. We watched a movie together, a huge plot-hole or logical mistake appears, and one of us just had to say: "Ja, weil auch!", and we both knew what the other one meant. (Like, *of course* a human can outrun a pyroclastic flow!, and other things that "actually make sense, if you don't think about it!")
Nowadays, I don't have the bf anymore, but I've still got the same thing with my sister.
The sad thing about this is, there's nothing special about it, like having a very good mental or emotional connection to the person I have such moments with. As long as anyone has more than two brain cells to rub together, they will automatically stumble over these mistakes, and, after too many of them, start to speak about them. (Let's face it: There is a biological limit to eye-rolling. After a while, it just *hurts* 😉.)
And movies like Fallen Kingdom are just too packed with such moments, until the very end, and that's why what was meant to entertain, finally becomes just annoying. 🙄
Edit:
Among the last, but not the least: Hello David, I'm pleased to meet you! I am Ute. 👋🏻
And there are two more things I need to add, that are part of my rant, but do not concern the Fallen Kingdom. To be precise, there are a lot more things to add, but I already wrote too much in my comments. Let's therefore take the first two things that came to my mind.
1.: Jurassic World. Did they really have to feed a great white shark to the Mosasaurus? They are a rare, very important species, and have to become very old to be this big. And they don't even remotely have any sufficient nutritional value to sustain the body of the Mosasaurus. So, what's the purpose of this "show" feeding? Sensationalism.
This movie was released in 2015, ffs, they are not going to tell me that they never heard how important it is to preserve sharks? 🤦🏻♀️ (Or are we going to blame this on the audience, too?)
2. The Tomorrow War. The "Why?" and "Of course" moments chased each other in this flick. But one of my most favorite was the one when our main protagonist kicked the mother alien in the face, and it retreated. *Of course* these indestructible beasts do have the alien equivalent of the "glass chin" some boxers have, just that it located in their snouts! 🙄
The further they got from Crichton, the dumber they got.
@@tabo01 That sums it up perfectly! 👍🏻
I still love all the movies no matter what anybody’s opinion is same with Camp Cretaceous. I still love it no matter the flaws.❤
...but at what cost? To quote Thanos, "everything."
I like JP 3, the Spinasaur is a pretty cool design as well.
How on earth is Jurassic World already 10 years old??
It turns 10 next year
After a lot of thinking JURASSIC PARK /// May actually be my favourite sequel.
The lost world is awesome
it was definitely awe-something
It's awe-lright.
Juassic park is like Jaws, the sequels will never be as good as the original
THEY COULD B OR EVEN SURPASS iT, BUT SO FAR YET WiTH THE WAY THEY'E BEEN DONE, THAT HAZN'T HAPPENED

Deserves a sub just for that "explains a lot" clip of Trevorrow banging two dino toys into each other. 😆 Sad at the reveal of how much Spielberg is to blame for the crappy storylines though, damn. Great video!
Yeah he has some really goofy ideas occasionally, but he’s just so candid about it you can’t stay mad at him. Spielberg has the heart of a child, but Trevorrow has the mind of a child.
@@outsideintel Great CZcams video and channel, but I found the background music was too loud and distracting. I would strongly suggest you get rid of it altogether. I firmly believe that background music is distracting, annoying, and unnecessary (especially for educational or opinionated videos with lots of talking). I also believe that people want to hear you speak/get information/hear your opinions and not hear generic background music that doesn't really add anything useful and that people have to mentally filter out. Plus it will be one less thing you will have to do when making videos. Thank you.
Fallen Kingdom & Dominion were the only garbage storylines.
JW storyline was tolerable but still had considerable issues (imo). All 3 movies had potential, but... 😮💨
Lost world as a feel-good slice of life movie of a biologist field trip to isla sorna would have been great.
This video is quality, all the way through. You deserve a much larger following. Subscribed 🎬
Very many thanks! 🙏🙏🙏
SERIOUSLY THIS FRANCHISE JUST NEEDS TO DIE AND HAVE A REAL ACTUAL REINVENTION NOT JUST A REMAKE! We just need a new and fresh adaptation of it that is true to the novel and rated R. I remember reading the book years ago and it was very violent and scary. From the very beginning this franchise has been inhibited by its PG-13 family friendly tone even though they did have some pretty dark moments scattered throughout the films I feel like it could be so much better especially now since r-rated movies are making more money ever since Deadpool
While l’ve grown to appreciate Jurassic Park 3 more over the years as l’ve witnessed the World franchise train wreck, in my opinion it is not the best Park sequel.
Love this series. I still contend that the first Jurassic World is a good movie. Maybe not great, but good
I was appalled when I look at your subs count, a video of this production quality deserves at least 5k subs.
That really means a lot! Hopefully if we do hit 5k one day, they will all be as dope as you 🤍

3:11 I remember when that used to say "MAY BE closer than they appear" Ah, the Mandela Effect :D hah
Thank u I love you
Whenever I see scenes of JP1 I'm like "Man this movie is SO GOOD." It has pacing you will NEVER see these days since everything has to be 3 hours. However, I grew up with JP2 and fed on all the marketing (games, two comics, behind the scenes material, toys etc.) and have higher nostalgia for that one. Also I loved the tiger striped Raptors in JP2.
Jurassic World should have been Pratt battling to bring Christianity to the Dinosaurs 😂
And teaching them to speak.
Exactly, it’s the producers who demand bigger, scarier, etc. The more action you pack into a film the more dull the action is.
The most amazing thing about the original is they went into production with no idea how they were going to make the dinosaurs look real. I had assumed Spielberg was willing to try it because of new CGI tech he was confident could make it look realistic.
"Just like a cuttle fish" LOL
Thing is jurassic park was the first movie to ever put dinosaurs on screen and they nailed it. Which was part of the formula that made it so good. That's the factor it's missing bow days Which is why everyone hates the new movies . Jw1 only made so much because of people's expectation on it.
For you it may have been the first, dinos on the screen but Bruce Force gives the finger to that.
Jurassic Park, the movie, is better than Jurassic Park the book? Are you NUTS?!?! Movie is great, to be sure, but better than the book? No way!
0:22 oh snap Paul from The Wonder Years is a Jurrasic stan too! 👍🏼
You deserve a lot more views, the video is very good and entertaining
Thanks! That is very much appreciated 🙏
@@outsideintel I'm new to your channel and I've subscribed, I think your videos are really good. One TV show I think would be good for you to do. A show that had a long painful death is the Simpsons.
@@mrmeerkat1096 Many thanks!! That definitely would be a great one to do, but they'd probably be on season 54 by the time we finish it.
I will never tolerate hate toward The Lost World. In my mind that movie is up there with Aliens and Terminator 2 as a perfect movie sequel. Jurassic Park 3 is more a product of studio interference than a lust for money, much like Alien 3. I agree though. What I want is new ideas. There are a million stories to tell when you have living dinosaurs, but they keep telling the same one. I was honestly surprised that they were going for another functioning park when I saw the trailer for JW. Hybrids aren't new enough of a concept to warrant three more movies. Give us something truly new.
This was a good watch! Personally I think they should have stopped after The Lost World, and I was hoping they'd stop now after Dominion, but it looks like even more are on the way.
Many thanks! And yeah it’s even more infuriating they’re making more since Trevorrow said in an interview recently that Jurassic Park is “unfranchisable” and should never have had any sequels 😑
@@outsideintel I'm convinced he only said that because in reality he's just an inept bait & switch hack who got lucky with Jurassic World and the success for it all just went to his head.
20:46 seriously between this this moment and him saying the word turd was the most unnatural forced thing I believe I've ever heard.
Just giving you crap man you do a good job on these videos
I cant believe this channel isn't bigger, how can I send you money?
Your kind words are the only currency we need! 😂🙏
underated af channel bro stay winning xx
Michael Crichton was such a hack that he didn't just write "The Lost World" to create the sequel movie, he even retconned the fates of Ian Malcolm and John Hammond from the original book!
These Jurassic park movies have been done to death ..
nah i can't stand for the Lost World slander lol
At the ending of Jurassic World, they should have had the Velociraptor and Tyrannosaurus Rex fist bump and then go their separate ways. That's what I thought was going to happen as I was watching this in theaters.
3:30 sorry but no. Its not even fair to compare them. Yes the movie is your staple summer blockbuster with some heart. But the book is another beast all together.
You could write a good Jurassic Park sequel by lifting heavily from the beginning and end of the original Jurassic Park book. In the end, they strongly believe that Raptors and perhaps other dinosaurs have already escaped to the mainland. There are reports of dinosaurs roaming about and ravaging crops rich in lysine. The book starts with dinosaur attacks on babies in Costa Rica, I think compies but you could make them raptors as well. I say go full circle and start any sequel there. Make that the opening scene, a baby is snatched from its crib in the middle of the night somewhere in Central America. Next scene: a couple on holiday take their daughter to the beach, she is attacked by a small dino but they rescue her and bring her back to a nearby hospital. The couple don't see the dino, but the kid draws it. The body of the baby dino is recovered and sent to the states for analysis where it is examined by the same woman from the books who recognises the dinosaur from the kid's picture. Bla bla bla, people visit Costa Rica to investigate. And say this all takes place in a universe without the Jurassic Park movies, so only a select few people even know of Jurassic Park, what happened there is a closely guarded secret, but there have been rumours. Could go anywhere from here. Read the book. It's good.
In JPW, that older kid sux, but he was fantastic in an episode of bwalk empire, he was Roland in season 3 for 1 episode
I never had trouble understanding Sarah Harding. Do people these days not understand words like "narcoleptic"? Seriously? I never batted an eye, even way back in the 90's. "Narcoleptic" is a junior high word, tops (IMO). The second movie, despite its flaws is better than the third.
Where is the soundbyte at 23:59 from? LMAO
Underrated video
Much appreciated 🙏
Jurassic Park was amazing.
The Lost World is darkly fantastic.
Jurassic Park 3 is a fun romp, just turn off your brain.
Jurassic World was absolutely awesome.
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom was alright.
Jurassic World Dominion was.
Fallen Kingdom is utter shit and Dominion is an abomination.
30:22 I think that dino said "Wazzap"
Sam Raimi would be great to give a gritty movie
In my opinion, the only good Jurassic movies are:
-Jurassic Park: though very generic plot wise, what this movie managed to do for all future movies will always be worth praising it for. The cgi, animatronics, cast, etc. all perfect. My only complaint is it feels very predictable and generic story wise.
-Jurassic Park 3: not a good film by any means, but a dumb fun movie. Think of Kong x Godzilla 2.
-Jurassic World: my personal favorite in the Jurassic franchise. I understand why a lot of you don’t like it, but man oh man is it fun. It’s just non stop fun from start to finish. Goofy? Of course, but so much fun.
32:00 member berries - and OH GOODNESS Dominion was soooooooooooooo bad
ooof i love your work a lot, but i gotta hard disagree on the acting in jp3 vs the lost world. i did a recent rewatch of 3, and i literally had to turn it off because i wasnt buying the dialogue and acting. that said, i can watch jp1 and the lost world anytime (even if the second isn't a good film)
3:28 Can't wait to read the comments about this take- actually, no I don't.
It wasn't John Hammond it was one of his coworker who shut down the system there still dinosaur DNA for another company
realy one the first one was good
The military storyline is SO DUMB that using Gray Alien Folklore where Hammond is a Grey secretly research DNA to correct theirs makes more sense
Making Wu a mad scientist was a good idea I think. It paved the way for him to absolutely kill it as Dr. Hugo Strange in the Gotham tv show, just chewing all of the scenes!
21:40 the female version of John Hammond in Jurassic Park 2 and look it's the sequel to the previous movie LOL at least they're consistent
Whats great about Jurassic World 1 is, that (most likely unintentionally) it follows the predictions of Henry Wu in the original novel. There, Wu had inner thoughts about the creation of dinosaurs as an attraction, regarding that they have to look like the customers know and expect for marketing purposes. Then he predicted that customers would eventually lose interest, so they would make the dinosaurs more dangerous, more scary looking, and maybe create something new. This happened in World.
Jeff Goldblum is too jewey to ever be called "hunky".
Jurrasic Park managed reimagine dinosaurs as active cunning creatures that would be still around if space rock didn't change everything. Lost World continued in it and JPIII at least tried. World trilogy throw all of that out of window for empy specticle and huge pile of nonsense that might worked in parody.
At least we have Prehistoric Planet. And Park and Kingdom.
The scene where the kids are in the stupid moving ball and looking at their phones not even interested in the dinosaurs is just the pinnacle of the problems with the modern generations. In the 90's the original was about so much wonder and appreciation for dinosaurs. All of that is gone and replaced with cynicism, nihilism, politics and disgusting characters.
So... Did JW really gross more than JP, or is that inflation ballooning the numbers?
Massive eye roll. Jurassic Park should be seen as a standalone film much like Jaws should be seen. I cringed hard when they made Jurassic World. Pure money grabbing bullshit.
You forgot the best part about JPIII, where the Raptor says, “Alan.” 😂 on par with, “Clever girl.”
Hold on to your butts, gentlemen
huh... I thought The Lost World was better than Jurrassic Park 3
Love your videos. Just want to mention a couple things that annoy and anger me about some people in these movies. Bryce dallas howard insisted on wearing high heels to outrun a t-rex, and wayne knight was a pedophile. You pretty much said everything else.
You sweetie pie🎉
i love you guys
The first was a near perfect film.
Then they did a sequel.
I'll never understand the hate for Chris Pratt
