Jurassic World - Part 6

Goofy as it could be, the jungle scenes in TLW were gorgeous and the two Rexes coming up from the darkness looks magnificent.
 
Serious question, I acknowledge JP3 was a very weak movie, but why all the hate for Spinosaurus?

And why does everyone act like it's sacrilege for the Spino to kill a T-Rex?

I don't really hate the Spinosaurus since it was cool in its own right, but the fact that the T-Rex, the most badass dinosaur of the previous two films, got disposed of like that is outrageous. They made the T-Rex look ******ed in JP3, and it only had a minute of screen time!
 
A few reasons. For one, the Rex is the tyrant lizard king. He's pretty much the face of dinosaurs and untouchable in the public eye. Secondly, from a more quantifiable perspective, the spino would have had no chance against a Rex. Sure the spino might be bigger, but it is built for eating fish; while the Rex has the most powerful bite force of any land animal with an incredibly powerful neck meant to not only hold its massive head, but to rip and destroy whatever gets in its jaws - not only should the spino have been dead from the first bite to its neck, it wouldn't have been able to get away from the jaws, and certainly wouldn't have been able to over power the Rex to snap its neck (which was a dumb finishing move regardless).

All that being said, I understand their desire to bring in new dinosaurs, but there are others they could face used that would have had a more realistic chance at beating a T. rex but they went with the spino because it looked so vastly different.

Wan't T-Rex declared to be just a scavenger ?

I thought that they made Spinosauraus ...who did eat fish, a land based hunter predator, which was stupid but the T-Rex was not that alpha predator either.

Because they wanted to show of the new big bad dinosaur and how awesome it was, so they killed off the vastly superior T-Rex! Still, I like the Spinosaurus and I am glad they did go with a more unique looking carnivore.

I cannot wait for the T-Rex from JP to reclaim all her and the other T-Rexs' glory in JW. Mark my words, it will happen and it will be glorious.
 
In the animal kingdom it can be a different story, but there is such a thing as the spirit of a champion. You don't have to be the biggest to be the baddest and best. A real champion finds a way to win against the odds. That's what I hope to see with the T-Rex potentially taking down the i-Rex, perhaps with the help of a helicopter gunship.
 
I have enjoyed all the movies. JP3 was obviously the weakest but it isn't the travesty as some claim to be. It is no where as bad as 3rd movie of other franchises...
 
The Spino/T-Rex scene was stupid because it treated an iconic monster like garbage. IT would be like if the great white in Jaws was dispatched quickly by a bigger shark with a stupider design.
 
I always took that T-Rex in JP3 as a juvenile T-Rex by the look of his/her size when the group first runs into it.

So I was never that pissed then the Spino beat it.
 
The area on Isla Sorna that JP3 took place on was set in the north of the island and cut off from the area that Malcolm and co visited in TLW (hence why one looks like a tropical jungle and the other looks like a forest) so it's possible that the T-Rex was a smaller variety to the others.

True.

I still like this shot (Though Spinosaurs looks stupid here) :oldrazz:

It being a scavenger is still up in debate, but the most agreed upon theory is that it was an opportunistic eater: it's size and strength allowed it to scare/fight off other predators as well as bring down its own prey.

Fixed. I want all dino vs. dino action. No help from the military.
 
JP3 isn't as godawful as it's made out to be, it just feels like this pointless side tangent.

I too, enjoy all three. Also, Don Davis' score is underrated.
 
The thing that annoyed me most about JP3 was seeing Ellie and Alan broken up, and Ellie married to someone else with kids. After the ending to JP, which implied Alan had really warmed to kids after spending all that time with Lex and Tim, it didn't feel right that Ellie was married and had children with another guy.

Agreed. It feels like the studio sat around and said 'we need to make another movie to fill our quota....how about another Jurassic Park?'

JP3 felt like it was going through the motions, and didn't feel cinematic in comparison to the other two.

Same, but I was happy to see Laura Dern and Sam Neill back together on screen. TLW felt like a big disconnect because you saw most of the survivors from JP EXCEPT the ones who gave it heart and soul (Ellie and Alan).

In some respects TLW is a much better film than JP3 apart from that. There's some really rough stuff in JP3 that doesn't hold up well in repeat viewings (acting and plot), whereas TLW is still engaging on a technical level thanks to Spielberg's direction.
 
That's why I'm excited for JW, Trevorrow is passionate about it and the franchise. This doesn't fee like JP3 like how you described AnneFan. It feels like more to me. As I've said I almost feel like this is really the legit sequel to JP.

Oh, yeah that was a total WTF moment for me. It's like they decided to go the book route with them in JP3 after JP1 changed it.
 
JP3 is something I pop in to watch if I just wanna see a few cool scenes here and there. The other films I watch because I love them haha.
 
JP1 is an all around classic disaster film with story, characters and action.

JPTLW is the typical by the numbers retread only with generic characters and generic action and non existent plot.

JP3 is a why even bother story that took a great character in Grant and relegated him to traffic cop in the same rescue story as lost world only more vanilla. The kid in this was more terrible then the girl in lost world and somehow turns into rambo after 6 weeks in a jungle with dinosaurs that could kill him in seconds but once the parents show up he acts like he just got the island.
