The millennial girl is an ugly sexless mean bitch called Xee or some shit, spends her time giving everyone a dressing down but interestingly has to get other people to do things as she seems quite powerless.
She has a male counterpart who is intimidated by her, weak and scared of everything.

With the exception of Chris Pratt, the men are either strong and bad (but easily overcome by said women) - or good and pathetic.

The women and Chris Pratt are the only ones who are both strong and good. Of course a small girl is a ninja who can outflank a genetically engineered 'indoraptor' super weapon (?) The female lead shrugs off a giant claw through her femoral artery and limps around saving the day for everyone.

Its totally unbelievable, the dinosaurs look fake, it thinks its Shutter Island crossed with Harry Potter crossed with Game of thrones crossed with Bond - its a fucking disaster. The film had me laughing it was so ludicrous.

The girl-power is toned down somewhat.

But aside from that it's social justice garbage - the evil rich people converge like in the The Last Jedi - many are evil Russians - and they all want to buy the poor dinosaurs to create weapons! Yes - exactly weapons! As if 5 ISIS fighter pick-up trucks with heavy machine guns would not make meatloaf out of all the dinosaurs.

So Marxism anti-Russian propaganda down.
Evil white guys leading it - never mind that the oppressed dinosaurs later eat even the female auction guests and not a tear is wasted on them.

Anti-humanist angle prevalent - they release the dinosaurs to the world and they spread out like wildfire. Never mind that it is not likely since back in their time there was a massive 20% CO2 atmosphere concentration (and we could breathe then as well) that created massive plant growth feeding the herbivores which in turn could feed the huge carnivores. Without those huge plants, then there would be no huge herbivores and without those the giant rapacious carnivores would have to eat huge amounts of humans or other animals which are not there! And good luck "living with them" when some of them can grab your granny and your daughter for quick mid-air lunch. Then you have giant ocean-based dinosaurs which would eat entire boats and tens of thousands of surfers and swimmers. In addition you had the heat back then and the tropical climate - humanity would at best leave the herbivores around in some areas while incarcerating all carnivores as most of them are way too powerful to run around.

Humanity would eliminate dinosaurs quickly and capture the rest in very closed-off zoos.

Chris Pratt is fine and masculine, the woman is a bit de-fanged in this one. I guess that is why feminist don't like that part, though it makes for a better movie.

And they added the SJW comics trope of the nerdy low-T IT black guy. Was about time that this would be shown.

But-but-but- CO2 is a man made pollutant! Runaway greenhouse effect!

I absolutely loved Dino Riders cartoon when I was a kid.

It was one of those obscure series that had only one season, but I loved every second of it - it was about humans from futuristic planet being crushed on prehistoric earth using armor and laser equipped herbivore dinosaurs fighting against cobra-faced and hammer-shark faced and other animal faced aliens using armor and laser equipped carnivore dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs + aliens + space + lasers --> For a boy aged 7-10 it's absolute crack.

Watched 'Fallen Kingdom' at the weekend. The TL: DR version; it was entertaining and worth a watch. If you are a fan of the franchise then you'll know what to expect and be pleased to know it delivers on all fronts.

Review AND SPOILERS;



Firstly, Bryce Dallas Howard has absolutely superb cock-sucking lips. While the rest of the film was good, this was my initial and lasting impression of the 128 minutes . On the big-screen, her lips look amazing. I'll be buying the Blu-Ray rather than the dvd just for these lips alone. She has a distractedly pretty face and in an early scene pulls off the 'girl next door' look to perfection in a very feminine (and tight) top and skirt. Regarding the tight top, I was amazed to read that she's had two kids! Her waist is trim as fuck and tits are looking great.

My SJW radar wasn't continually pinging like it does with most Hollyweird offerings. Although they did have a 'blink-and-you'd-miss-it' dig at Trump. In a BBC news bulletin, the ticker at the bottom of the TV said 'US President claims that dinosaurs didn't exist in the first place'. 'US President'! yeah, right.

However, earlier posts are right about the two young additions; the tattooed lesbian with attitude and the weak IT twat. These two were the worst part of the film and are going to hurt it for me on future re-watches.

On the plus side though, alongside the female lead (Howard) being refreshingly feminine (by Hollyweird standards), Chris Pratt's 'Owen Grady' in my opinion makes a fine addition to the 'leading action-man' archetype. When we first meet him, he's building his own cabin in the woods. He is intelligent, witty and can fight. Good to see him to some nice Judo in one action scene (Ippon Seoi Nage (the eponymous Judo 'shoulder throw')) and what looked to me like a wrist-lock in the jail scene. I know Pratt wrestles and does BJJ so he convinces in these scenes. I reckon he could do as good a job as anyone of Indiana Jones if they wanted to continue the series, as he has the right mix of charm, wit and the underlying backbone necessary for the character.

The story is now getting a little far-fetched (even for a tale about resurrected dinosaurs!). The Special Effects looked great, with a nice combination of puppetry and CGI. As a dino purist I'm not keen on the new genetically modified dinosaurs but the Indoraptor was nicely done and I liked the scene where it fooled the main bad guy and tore his arm off. The Indoraptor's 'acting' was superb here it looked like he even 'smirked' while pretending to be asleep!

There's no Spinosaurus in this one (just a glimpse of its smaller relative, the Concovenator). It's about time that these films featured the biggest Theropods; Giganotosaurus and Carcharadonotosaurus (both bigger than a T-Rex). I'm guessing that most people will just assume they all look the same, so they didn't bother.

Apart from Bryce Dallas-Howard's cock-sucking lips, the second thing that struck me about the movie, was its very strong opening. Very nicely done with the eerie underwater scenes and the use of light and darkness to tease the immensity of the Mosasaur and then the T-Rex. That is how you open a blockbuster movie and grab your audience's attention!

Strong opening, strong (and interesting) ending, and lots to entertain between the two. It's a thumbs-up from me.

Similar sentiments to Richard Turpin's review above from me. Largely entertaining movie, if you're a fan of dinosaur movies. I'd like to add that what happens in the ending there is exactly why we should never vote for a woman president. Bitch gonna hit the Fuck-Us-All button when she gets emotional, e.g she can't bear to watch some man-killing illegal alien dinosaurs die.

[azulsombra]

Fallen Kingdom is decent although the first half is essentially the Lost World movie rehashed with a volcano and two new annoying sjw approved characters. Everything in the first half of the movie is predictable. The second half is a lot more interesting.

Overall its a decent movie but a step down from the previous gender role enforcing film Jurassic World.

This moment completely made me mad. Good job, you just doomed the entire north side of California. It's funny that this all took place in North California, and not the South where LA, SF, and SD were. Funny how that works.

Spoilers below.

I saw this movie last night, and while worth a watch, the entire thing was batshit crazy, even by the standards of the Jurassic Park franchise. Highlights include:

-A dinosaur auction conducted by a Willy Wonka look a like.
-The indosaur becoming a gothic monster, prying into the bedrooms of terrified children.
-A secret dinosaur prison lab in the basement of the gothic mansion, which has both "EXPLOSIVE GAS" and "POISON GAS" canisters, which are naturally located directly next to each other.
-A big, pointless reveal that the little girl is a clone. Immediately after this information comes out, a dinosaur explodes through a door and eats two henchmen, and the movie continues on unaffected by this crazy revelation.

I could cope most of the way through this movie, but the very end was especially absurd. Pterodactyls are flying around, likely waiting to spear some humans, a velociraptor runs into a suburban neighborhood, and the mosasaur shows up on a surfing beach ready to eat all the surfers.

I would still recommend seeing it in theaters, but expect only mindless popcorn entertainment and nothing more. The last movie actually had thoughtful red pills. This one has a mouthy lesbian and an elderly man getting smothered to death because the villain has poor planning skills.

< Spoiler for the sequels: The girl is cloned with dinosaur DNA and has some secret psychic connection with them that she will use to the best ability to save humanity, because obviously the dinosaurs are going to kill millions of humans and still be left running and flying around. It will be like slowly moving zombie hordes overrunning army outposts.

I can tell that you're not wrong. Sounds like something they will do.

[david.garrett84]

The "save the dinosaurs" mantra in this film is hilarious.

At first you think "that's retarded, no one would support that," but then you realize we live in a world where Western societies will rip themselves apart about "chicks" with dicks getting into women's bathrooms.

It makes more sense to me to preserve cloned originals (or close to it) of dinosaurs than to allow someone with an X and Y chromosome to call themselves a female. The dinosaurs are at least faithful to their basic DNA.

[Simeon_Strangelight]

Yeah - the ocean-based dinosaurs would likely wipe out all the whales, sharks and tuna within a very short time - never mind the countless swimmers, surfers and fisherman they would eat. You don't want to live in a world where a pterodactyl will feed on a kindergarten class or someone sipping a latte at a rooftop cafe.

I mentioned that those large carnivores needed a massive population of herbivores who in turn required a 20% CO2 saturated atmosphere for Earth be a lush paradise of giant green plants. Without all of that the herbivores would die or feast on our plant crops and the carnivores would try and feast on us or livestock. Nothing else could feed them - certainly not the spare animals in the wild - raptors would have killed every deer and bear within a few months.

Besides - if we can genetically reproduce them as the technology exists, then what is the problem with killing them all and doing it again.

At best humanity could allow a few herbivores to stay around in certain locations - carnivores only in super-cages.

I wonder how they will pull this off in the next movie when the beasts start murdering toddlers and grandmas, but I guess the left is only one step away from genocide, so they just imagine that the baby was a Trump supporter and everything is fine.

Movie review: see thread title.

I fell asleep. So boring.

I did not care about a bunch of "abused" dinosaurs and the people stupid enough who care about them (Muh-dinosaur rights).
More people (IT guy) should have died. Not enough screen time for giant sea monster dinosaur.

1/5 for Chris Pratt.

[StrikeBack]

Have a feeling the sequel will be Planet Of The Dinos (instead of Apes). LAME.

[Simeon_Strangelight]

Psychos complain that Chris Pratt got paid 2 mio. $ more than his co-star.

Seriously that the redhead got even 8 mio. $ vs his 10 mio. $ is already overpaying her. They could have replaced the redhead with a blonde and the movie would have done the same. But if they took off Chris Pratt, then it might have taken quite a hit.

It's insane to have to explain logic to them or why Hollywood wages are the way they are. But when female models and porn stars get paid 100 times more, then this is fine.

We live truly in a clown world.

Just watched Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom the day before yesterday. Also re-watched all the four previous Jurassic movies before that. (I like dinosaurs since childhood). My verdict is that both new Jurassic World movies are actually much better then the three old Jurassic Park movies. Here are my arguments why:





The "original is always the best sentiment" is wrong for this franchese because dinosaurs are not fruit of human imagination.

For most famous franchises, be it Star Wars, Terminator, Aliens, Predator or whatever - a true fan will always say that the first movie or at least the first two movies are the best and the rest is a progressively degrading imitation. For most franchises it is true, because they are products of human imagination and are created with a certain idea of atmosphere and presentation in mind. Later sequels mostly just ruin that feeling by trying to put the same characters in more different situations that ruin that atmosphere and ruin the plausibility and continuity. Dinosaurs however, while extinct, are still part of the reality because they once lived. The first Jurassic Park movie didn't invent dinosaurs and if it were not this movie, we would certainly get a different dinosaur movie. Somebody else would make a dinosaur movie, because there is just a demand for that and nature abhors a vacuum. No movie can claim it has the definitive monopoly or rights to be the "cannon" of dinosaur movies.



The new movies have actually much less feminism and anti-white diversity

In the very first Jurassic Park the main female lead spouts feminist lines like "Women will inherit the earth"(after men have been eaten by dinosaurs, suggesting lunacy that women can somehow survive, defeat dinos and procreate without men) and calling a man sexist for suggesting he should risk in her place to go outside their safe room in her place to restore power to dino cages. This movie also has a cringeworthy unrealistic portrayal of a small girl hacker, hacking into the Parks systems and saving everyone. Sorry but I find 10 year old girl hackers to be more implausible then cloning of dinosaurs.

The second Jurassic Park movie gives us some diversity and girl-power by giving a black daughter to white Jewish character of Jeff Goldrum. She is not even light brown, like a plausible mulatto but really black, suggesting her mother must have been the blackest woman on the earth - or that our main hero of the movie is a cuck. Also this black wunderchild can kill a velociraptor with gymnastic movies. Something no adult can do in these movies. Lame.

The new movies do not have little girls saving the day. Some have criticized the main lead of the first Jurassic World movie as being to an annoying careerist woman. That is true, but that is also the whole point, that these critics misunderstand. The main male lead - Chris Patt is a benevolent sexist who games and changes the main female lead from an annoying careerist bitch into a somewhat sensible and caring woman throughout the film by taking charge and giving her some sense of reality. In the new Jurassic World:Fallen Kingdom movie, she is actually a very nice and pretty supporting female lead with no feminist tendencies. This is actually a good example for men how to game and treat feminist career women, to not get intimidated by their facade and to understand they are just little girls inside.

Both new movies have some annoying hipster SJW characters. A male and a female (different in both movies). But they are actually treated as comic relief and are there more to provide a clearly negative example of how to be in extreme situations, especially for the men. Yes the latest movie has one place where a villain labels the SJW hipster chick as a "nasty woman" ( a former Hillary monicer). Coming from a villain it sounds like a compliment. But that is about the only feminist thing that these new movies have. For most part they are fairly traditional when it comes to gender roles, acknowledging the unsuitability of modern hipsterism when it comes to facing prehistoric threats.


New movies have more dinosaur screen time and better CGI

Many people hate overuse of CGI, and for most movies they would be right to do so. But when it comes to a dinosaur movie you cannot have too much. If I go to a dinosaur movie I want to see a lot of dinos not just actors talking about them. The old movies relied on human acting too much to make movies with scarce dino moments often only showing half body dinos. Some scenes like the sick Triceratops screamed of cheap animatronics and not being able to show a full body dinosaur. New movies have a lot of dinos, doing various things like fighting and even swimming. The CGI are very good and believable.


New movies have an actual Jurassic Park

In the original Jurassic Park, we actually never got to see a functional Jurassic Park. In the first movie of the new Jurassic World series we do see many actual attractions of this park and how it would look like. I found the baby dino petting zoo to be adorable and the Mososaurus attraction to be awesome.



New movies are more adult, more scary and have higher kill counts and slightly more blood and dismemberments.

The original Jurassic Park movies were children movies and it spoils the fun for adult viewers. There were tense moments but the dinos were often made harmless by giving them low kill counts. many deaths were off screen. In some cases you even didn't know which dino killed the guy.
All this in the name of family friendliness. As if children of all ages would not be secretly watching movies above their age grade anyway.

New dino movies while still having some children friendly rating are more bloodier acknowledging the fact that children are used to depiction of violance much sooner then overprotective ratings like to think. We see people bitten in half or their extremities chopped off much often. The dinos are much scarier because they actually kill people in dozens and not just some 3 or five people per movie.


More herbivore action.

The old movies, with small exception in the 2nd movie, make bad use of the varying interesting herbivore forms of dinosaurs and make them just to eat grass in background 95% of time. Most of action comes from predators (which all look the same just in different sizes) actively chasing the human pray. That is missing so much potential about what the various looking herbivores could do.

Real life animals don't act that way. if you try to approach a herd of wild buffalo or elephants, you are likely to get attacked by these herbivores. The same could be true for dinosaurs. While still not enough to satisfy me, the new movies have more instances of herbivores acting realistically and posing a danger to humans, the latest movie has even some quite few satisfying kills by a Pachycephalosaur/Stygnomoloch.



So there you have it. The new movies are better then the old ones and if you disagree i think you probably are just more critical now then when you were a child.
