Jurassic World

[Thundarr]

Do you mean Meg? Steve Alten who wrote the book has been promising that movie for nearly 15 years now. I doubt it'll happen at this rate.

Mosasaurs would be awesome. The smallest were 11 feet, the largest around 60. I don't know how we'd get aquatic DNA but they can do some kind of b.s. explanation for that.

I mentioned earlier in this thread, find one frozen in an iceberg somewhere. It was discovered as the polar icecaps are continuing to melt.

Why does there always need to be a damn kid in these movies?

 

[Homer J. Fong]

Because kids love dinosaurs and that means there needs to be a child-viewer surrogate in all of these? That's not my opinion, but I'm guessing.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

They could have done worst then Ty he was pretty good in Iron Man 3.

 

[terry78]

As for why there have to be kids in these flicks, Crichton's first two books featured kids, so they wanna keep the theme going. Having it be all adults would feel too much like a cliche thriller/horror.

Plus arguably the most tense moments in the original dealt with the kids being in trouble. The first rex scene and the raptors in the kitchen.

Like many people in Hollywood, Spielberg firmly believes that annoying the audience will make them laugh and appreciate the movie more.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Spielberg is right.

Besides, these films are made for the family. Do we want an R-rated Jurassic Park? Not, really. Kids should be able to enjoy them as well since that's where we all developed our awe for dinos (and I'm sure the age we saw the first film as well).

 

[GremlinZilla89]

I find the utter contempt towards kids in films really kind of psychotic.

He was the only good thing in Iron Man 3. Jake Johnson is being considered as well, I love that guy

What do you mean "we"? I, for one, would love a more serious dinosaurs on the loose movie. You know without scientists spewing hollow ethics speeches or thinking that no one else in the science world knows what something as basic as the chaos theory is. And yes, without annoying children who keep making the dinosaurs attack everyone and yet they get to survive.

I don't get the sometimes almost automatic hate for kids in movies; that many seems to have.

Awesome, I have no problem with kids in movies unless they're just doing stupid the whole time.

 

[mclay18]

I don't have a problem with kids in Spielberg films, but they have to act like regular kids... like Arianna Richards and Joe Mazzelo did in the first film.

For me it depends on the film, the kids and the justification (if necessary) for their being there.

There is absolutely nothing psychotic about it. The rest of my response I'll post under the comment 747 made that I quoted as well.

It's because most writers can't write decent, unannoying kid characters. Personally, it's not that I hate kids or kids in movies, it's just that they're written in such a terrible manner most of the time that they just become annoyances throughout the film. Look at the first Jurassic Park, after, not before, but after the T-rex escapes, Lex decides to bust out high powered flashlights for what reason I do not know. At least she sort of, kind of redeems herself by getting the doors to lock near the end of the film. Even so, that doesn't change the fact that she's a complete moron, for her age at least. A much younger kid, 5-7 age range, I wouldn't mind, but she's pretty much a teenager and shouldn't have done something that lacked any and all common sense.

The kid in IM3 wasn't too bad though, except when he wouldn't shut up with asking Tony question after question

The Jurassic Park kids were not only annoying (kid following Sam Neill like an idiot) but also provoked the T-Rex attack because they knew lights were not to be turned on and that's the one thing they did. Somehow Spielberg think that that kind of stupidity is adorable or something.

I also agree that IM3 kid was acceptable.

But never mind, most audiences seem to accept this cliche children pretty well.

 

[Lando81]

Kids in the film give ACTUAL children something to anchor to. Such hate for kids in film is gross.

 

[terry78]

The only movies kids will go see that don't need to feature kids are animated ones and maybe superhero flicks, and even those have the occasional brat thrown in there.

 

[Lord]

Speaking of Iron Man 3 i never got why the kid appeared at all, if that lab was his then what about his parents? And if it was his parents's why didn't they appear. In fact how did Tony find that lab in the first place?

What a gross mass generalization.

 

[terry78]

Haha, I'm just ****ing around, man. I know, since we were all kids once we should know the deal.

I realize that and agree with you about the kid characters giving children someone to relate to. The point I made earlier though, is that a lot of the child characters in a lot of movies are written poorly.

I'm not trying to say action adventure films like JP shouldn't have child characters anymore. It's just that I wish they were written well, to not be so annoying.

She was frightening. A frightening kid. I bet my bottom dollar if she were an adult you wouldn't have a THING to say about it. Where is the criticism for Malcolm not freezing after he got the Rex's attention? No, he still ran and ran and ran with the flair and almost got himself killed.

The kids in Jurassic Park are about the most un-annoying kids in a blockbuster film. They felt like kids. They weren't obnoxious nor wise beyond their years. They were kids. Simple as that.

The kid was the least of Iron Man 3's problems. What a mess that was.
