Jurassic World thoughts - I have almost no recollection of the 1st and 3rd JW movies. A shot where they are rolling around in balls, the bit where the nanny is flung around and chewed up. The 2nd movie, the haunted house one, that stayed with me more. Am I alone here? - ThreadSky

No you’re pretty much right. Second movie had a much better director, so despite the script being nonsense, it works. It actually makes how stupid it is fun.

jhoffman.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah, better setting AND director for sure.

I just got done watching all 6 movies back to back and they all just blend till I’m not sure if there was just one movie. Rich guy tries to control dinos, fails, hijinks ensues, and there is a battle with a T-Rex at the end. I did enjoy watching them.

They are largely forgettable and devoid of both iconic characters and movie magic.

The animated Netflix series is the best thing to come out of J World

The first one would've worked as a standalone, the second one had some interesting ideas that mostly fell flat with me and the third one was an atrocious joke...

I only saw the first one and basically remember it as an entertaining retread of the first movie, much like The Force Awakens.

No! I like one in the big, spooky mansion. It's an actual set piece rather than a broad, bland canvas.

Dinos in the Castle!

dandock.bsky.social•18 days ago

It's very fun!

1 had a lot of good ideas but poorly executed. 2 I barely remember and 3 made me mad.

zalfano.bsky.social•18 days ago

The third one was about locusts. That’s all I got.

nagi159.bsky.social•18 days ago

here's a quick refresher: all 3 are terrible and get increasingly worse until the stupidity completely compounds in on itself and alienates anyone who had anything even remotely positive to say about the previous films. hope this helps!

The nanny. Ha, yeah. That was the boss’ assistant who got saddled with two jerk kids it wasn’t her job to babysit. But it says so much about that movie that it’s easy to remember her as the nanny.

I always remember the gleefully cruel way the first JW killed off the assistant character whose only sin was not having kids.

jhoffman.bsky.social•18 days ago

Yeah, that's one of the only 2 things I remember!

billkuchman.bsky.social•18 days ago

Not great that’s the main thing people remember from a film that grossed $1.671B worldwide.

The kid being a clone was the moment the second film lost me.

In fairness to the third film, I don’t think it had a plot to remember?

azalben.bsky.social•18 days ago

It’s mostly about everyone’s favorite aspect of the franchise, locusts

Volcano went boom in one of them

chodavid.bsky.social•18 days ago

someone needs to write a longform essay on how the scene in which the dinosaurs are left stranded on the island after the volcano explodes as the boat slowly pulls away might be the saddest and most disturbing in the entire series: https://youtu.be/xgX9WrVFO0Q?si=hHXC_0WoMCFkeUpI
