"I don't like your attitude already . . "
"It's right where I am, I am the people!"
I love Ben.
Derek Diercksmeier lol me too
***** Ya, I like Christy sometimes, but sometimes I feel she's a bit too... I dunno. I guess we just have different tastes that clash lol.
Derek Diercksmeier I also like it because they said it would change but NOPE still 71%. Ben IS the people.
No, I said, what kind of bird... are YOU?
yeah I just don't think you can make a better killer shark movie than the first jaws, and you cannot make a better killer dinosaur movie than the first jurassic park.
***** It's monster movie. And of course you can't beat JP1. It was something new and fresh by it's times. It's hard to make this impression now.
Ben couldn't even speak for most of the video!!! Alonso and Christy kept interrupting him.
Also, Christy's cynicism makes a bigger impression than her actual criticism.
***** She doesn't have one.
xMurkNx I wouldn't go as far, I actually like her. But sometimes I feel like she hates some movies before even seeing them.
+xMurkNx I think your thinking about a different type of movies
You know I like it when Ben is singled out, it's always hilarious.
Do the reviewers on this channel even like movies? They hate everything that comes out.
Alberto Feliciano They liked Mad Max, which I did as well.
Did you write this based on this video? They're very fair to blockbusters. It appears you're the one on the high horse.
Alberto Feliciano Go watch the Mad Max: Fury road review.
Alberto Feliciano They are movie critics, not movie shills; they are supposed to critique a movie. Besides, I would hardly call an above average score a sign of hatred.
***** TERRIBLE Hate
Ben watched a movie! Hallelujah! :)
The T-Rex from the original Jurassic Park kills the Indominus Rex at the end of the film.
Zahrlavi Fuck You.
Zahrlavi So predictable yet satisfying.
*SPOILER*
I don't know what you saw but it wasn't the T-Rex that killed the I-Rex. And way to not put a spoiler warning on your comment douchebag.
Chillbro Swaggins yay fucking spoiler war should we starting talking about john snow in the final episode.
Chillbro Swaggins well, you failed
Jurassic World, as reviewed by What The Flick?!, in which Ben actually seems to enjoy life and everyone else seems to hate all of existence.
Dear Christy Lemire,
I love you very much, but that "texting-while-on-camera" thing you did, is very unprofessional.
Riley Drake Still unprofessional XD
David Erif She was looking something up. Nothing wrong with that. This isn't NBC.
David Erif She was looking up the name of husband.
David Erif that's why she said sorry.
My favorite movie reviewers. All mature an' shit.
PJ Maher Yeah, youtube is filled with 80's and 90's kids who all like the same things and talk about the same movies over and over again. That's why What the Flick stands out to me, I really like them together.
Chara Miwa couldn't agree more - these guys have a bigger vocabulary and discussion than "it was so fun", "___ did a great job", "it was really moving"
can't stand the age of the younger "youtuber" movie "critics". entertaining to watch, sometimes - but they never bothering giving anything indepth to discuss other than "I liked it", "I hated it"
Chara Miwa And for who is Jurassic World if not for those who loved Jurassic Park?
Once you've watched a Mark Kermode review, everybody else seems like amateurs.
***** New Mad Max is great and I know people which didn't like it. There is no film pure for "everyone" ;)
What I wanted to see from the Godzilla reboot, I really got it from this movie. not a perfect movie though.
The Godzilla remake was miles better than this.
Gaugzilla I fell asleep during that shit Godzilla remake
***** At the very least, it tried for something different. This is just "Jurassic Park References: The Movie."
Andrew Gaug Oh stop it. You might not have enjoyed this movie, but acting like it didn't do anything new when it so obviously did is absolute bullshit. Training raptors, having an entire resort with bars, eating establishments, hotel accommodations, feeding shows with the aquatic dinosaur and the T-Rex, engineering new hybrid dinosaurs - there is tons of new stuff and things to enjoy. And yeah, they reference the old movies, which apparently you don't like, but... that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of cool new stuff as well. Just because you don't like a movie it doesn't mean you have to create made-up reasons to hate on it.
J.J. L. i said the same thing actually
I got halfway through the trailer before I realized I just don't care. I loved the first film, but I just don't want to see the sequel.
GO BEN!!!!!
Just seen it. And, Ben's analysis is right on. The movie is a solid 7.0 - 7.5. It's formulaic and bland characters, but what it does well is it gets your heart pounding and will scare the crap out of you during the dino scenes. If you're looking for character development or kick ass dialog this movie's not for you. But, if you can get past a lot of implausible things like a woman out running a T-Rex while she's wearing high heels, or running through a jungle wearing heels, or riding ATV's 50 MPH in the jungle at night, and you simply want to be entertained, then go see it. This got applause from the theater goers during the credits. So, everyone/most in attendance liked the movie.
"We are stupid, but we are jot that stupid"
Anyone heard of fracking and climate change?
Where there is money, we are THAT stupid
With all all the people who have died over the years at the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld, by these guys' logic, we wouldn't have any zoos or aquariums left open... Just a thought.
KlingonCaptain SeaWorld doesn't flip out and kill everyone in the park.
Keith Ballard Tilikum, a SeaWorld whale that killed three still being used to breed. The fact is, we never actually see any visitors killed, only park staff. Over the years, many zoo visitors have been killed. I admit that it was mostly because said visitors where stupid, but I don't see any reason why Jurassic World wouldn't eventually be reopened. Even if they had to promise no new carnivores (or any at all), it would still open again. The first park tragedy was due to sabotage and the second was human error; this simply means that new protocols would need to be enacted.
KlingonCaptain The moment killer whales become extinct and we "rebuild" them for entertainment (under the guise of education) is the moment of stupidity exhibited throughout the Jurassic Park series. Just don't f*ck with nature. The cycle of life needs to be respected.
HeirOfGlee You're right people are that stupid they are still buying into climate change or as it was formally known as Global Warming. So when it get's colder it can't be called Global warming so the term Climate Change was invented. The real scientists of the world the ones who don't use the hockey stick graph have debunked Global warming!
I hate it when the reviewer pretends to not even remember the movie title at the start, to make it clear immediately that they didn't like it.
They take movies too seriously some times. I feel bad for them.
It's their job...
Calosaurus its their job to review movies. Not to be cynical assholes.
I get the feeling they no longer know how to just go out and enjoy themselves without over analyzing everything.
I agree, i don't really know what they were expecting from this movie. It was a fun ride that let you sit back and eat popcorn. That's what it was supposed to be. Were they wanting it to be as revolutionary as the first?
Santi Ponce That's kind of their jobs
I really loved this movie! Great chemistry between actors and a good plot
don't bring your kids ??? I remember seeing the first one like 8 years old and I was fine, loved it.
Completly agree ....Jurassic World is the worst movie I have seen in the past decade
thomas verbruggen hahahaha. sad hipster.
Great review! I sure enjoyed the movie :) We made a live action Jurassic World short with lot of CGi. I'd love to hear your thoughts about it.
Shutter Authority nice but make it longer!
Pro tip: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies these days.
@Major Beckett Yup, I have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :D
I saw Jurassic World yesterday. I thought it was brilliant! I was thoroughly entertained from beginning to end. I thought that not only Chris Pratt, but the entire cast did a great job. The fact these guys hated this movie just proves that they are utterly arrogant......that they are sooooo superior in their "taste".....waaaaaay smarter, and more clever than us poor slobs. Hey what does the public know? What do I know? I didn't study at a film school. I'm not being paid to bloviate. THEY are "film critics". What a bunch of snobs.How sad!
Better Jurassic movies? The only better one is the first one. And not because it was "better" but because it was ground breaking for it times.
I mean 'cmon:
-Hammond was greedy and old (that's what I remember about him)
-Chick was bland like a butter or sand paper. I just know she liked Triceratops shit.
-Jeff... well.. aaa... eee... chaos theory. That's it. Nothing more.
-Alan was ok but in my opinion he was just boring.
-Kids... omg. Their role was only to scream or run. Oh gril "hacked" doors and Timy fapped the fuck out of the chair she was sitting on. I wouldn't call that character development.
Story: They want to create Jurassic "Park"/"World" but shit goes down because of a storm (well done). THAT'S IT. NOTHING MORE.
We love JP because it had ground breaking effects for it times, huge dinosaurs and cool music.
Guess what. JW got more interesting characters, new take on dinosaurs, same kick-ass music, kids weren't so annoying and this [mini spoiler] final fight... [mini spoiler off]
The only lack was in "effects" but c'mon. Look for graphic and effects upgrade from early 90' to early 00' and from I don't know 2005 until now. It's got slower and it's hard to jump over it.
This is the second best JP movie in the series for me. It was really enjoyable, had everything that JP had except being "ground breaking" which I wasn't even counting for.
For me it's solid 7 or 8 out of 10. I had a lot of fun with that movie.
Sorry for my broken english btw.
Yes, this movie sucked. The original one as dark, intellectually stimulating, inspiring and trans breaking, this is a B class action movie which is going to be forgotten within two weeks. Excusing it that it is a "summer flick" or "don't take it seriously", good movies don't need excused. This is crap.
No way this movie is as bad as these guys make it out to be. Ben seems more reasonable.
Tyrannosaurus didn't exist in the Jurassic world either, Ben. Cretaceous.
i'm really getting sick of the whole "well what were you expecting" comments. it's a lazy excuse for poorly made movies. what if Christopher Nolan went into the dark knight saying " oh, well it's just a guy in a bat suit who fights a clown, whatever..." or the people behind the new planet of the apes franchise said " oh, it's just talking apes with machine guns riding horses, who cares..." no matter what the premise, a movie needs to handle the material and it's audience with respect, because lazy film making brings bad movies.
Ben has it right. Everyone else are drinking hater aid. I notice more often than not these reviews are way tougher on the movies than they really deserve. They shit all over EVERYTHING it seems like.
movieman175 SHUT UP BEFORE YOU EVEN SAY IT! I know sometimes they give some movies great reviews but they are way to hard on the vast majority of the movies they review.
movieman175 Christy sounds like she hated the movie the second she took a seat in the movie theater. This review was so un fair.
How was it unfair? Its nothing more than a fun movie. Evrything else is silly and cheesy. This isn't high quality
Reviewers have fun mulling over how to express their negatives clearly, hence they tend to spend more time on those negatives. Mark Kermode is a prime example: a great reviewer, but one who spends more time on the negatives than on the positives. If reviewers were capable of condensing their views into on sentence (they usually try to string together a number of clauses until the sentence becomes way too long to make sense, just to get their moaning in), these reviews would be shorter, more reflective of their actual opinions, but much less entertaining.
movieman175 they give more good reviews than bad. you just selectively choose to watch reviews for garbage blockbusters like this, which of course they're going to be critical of because they can be objective about it, unlike fanboy drones that love anything with loud noises. filmgoers are getting dumber and dumber by the year and you're part of the problem.
Cut down Bryce Dallas Howard, she ruined this movie. Take out the militarization of the dinosaurs, put Judy Greer and her husband into the Movie so they experience this crazy adventure with their children. Instead of the babysitter go through this horrific death make it the dad so you get some kind of sympathy. This movie sucks for smallest things. Had the script writers edited and brainstormed a little bit longer it could have been awesome
Don't bring your kids?! What the fuck is up with that shit?! It's a goddamn dinosaur film! They're not gonna wanna see anything else & it's made for them.
This was actually realy great and is as good as the first one, they obviously didn't watch the movie
It's a fun movie and that's about the best I can say for it. The action scenes are good, the dinosaurs look good, there's some interesting stuff going on with the "story" (it's a very loose story, more just a plot for the fun stuff to happen). My biggest issue with it is the acting and dialogue. The character stuff, essentially. Especially the family stuff at the beginning... it's just sooooooo fake and cliche. I hate the mother's cutesy voice to her son. I hate the obvious winking at the camera, "If something chases you... run." Yeah, no mother would be like that when she's sending her kids off to an island full of dinosaurs that's infamous for a tragedy taking place on it. No, she cries about her sister being a bad aunt instead. Yeah, okay. The emotional moments between characters feel so forced... nobody cares about the ghost you saved your brother from. They're in the middle of a disaster taking place, you don't have to go bringing up completely unrelated ghost stories to have an emotional moment between two characters. I also think the feminists have a point with this movie. The female characters are handled terribly. Why is it that the kids, after have just witnessed Claire save Owen from the pterodactyl, only want to stay with Owen? They were just impressed with her in the previous scene and were all, "Whoa, is that Aunt Claire?"... but then in the very next scene, they're all "We want to stay with HIM! Definitely him!" It makes no sense and feels like a forced joke to say that kids would rather stick with a man than a woman. They hadn't seen Owen do anything badass at that point besides get attacked by a pterodactyl, kiss their aunt and drive backwards. Oh, but he's got muscles, so they feel safer with him... And the rest of the female characters are just crying the whole time. That girl in the control room was ridiculous... when she gets on the radio to tell the guys to get out of the Indominus Rex cage, why does she act like she's just watched Terms of Endearment or something? She's on the verge of tears. She can't have an authoritative, yet concerned expression and tone of voice... no, she's a woman, so she has to be weepy. Laura Dern must have been rolling her eyes when she saw this movie and recalling her line, "Look... we can discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back."
Overall, the movie was just too tongue-in-cheek for me. The problem is escapsulated in BD Wong's performance, for me. The fact that he can't keep a straight face throughout his entire performance. He's the only one who knows what working on the original film was like, so the difference from that to working on this movie must have made it hard to take seriously.
But yeah, other than that it's a fun summer blockbuster. Good to take your mind off things for a couple hours and watch some good old dinosaur action. IMO, The Lost World is a better sequel, as it actually feels serious and dark like the original, whereas this one looks and feels like a shiny Hollywood production. For all the flaws that Lost World has, it still has Spielberg's direction, and that at least gives it a proper tone, good acting, a legitimate sense of tension and pacing, etc... It's an actual movie. Jurassic World is nothing more than a fun romp for a couple hours.
Wait, hold up a second. Did Ben actually see this movie?
Everyone but Ben is insane. Clearly this isn't in the same ballpark as the first Jurassic Park movies, but it is light years ahead of any of the sequels and for a popcorn summer movie it does a wonderful job. I thought it had a couple very meta moments, I completely disagree and thought it jumped right into the action, the divorce plot line was just a plot device to set up why the children would be on the island without their parents and it did it's job, the raptors being good guys was awesome, the second the Indominus rex talked to the raptors was awesome, when she lets out the original t-rex it was AWESOME (come on, you know that was awesome), the pterodactyls getting out was great. My only problem with the movie is that there is no way those two kids knew how to fix a jeep. That was the only "come on" moment for me. That one line of dialogue wasn;t doing it. But seriously, you really don't think people would be ready for another Jurassic Park after 20 years? They're already ready for another Bush!
Jason Beatty I agree. Sure, there were campy moments in the movie, and of course there was plenty of nostalgia. It's criticized for being too cliche, but also lambasted for having too much exposition by one of the reviewers. It's like they were looking for reasons to hate it.
Personally, I went in to the movie expecting something terrible. I didn't pay for a ticket (though I suppose that didn't stop me from spending 20 dollars on a mediocre amount of confections,) and if taken back and given a chance, I would have. It was a huge surprise. Was the movie amazing? No. But I certainly enjoyed myself.
I loved this movie, everyone in the theater clapped at the end. I don't know what movie yall saw. This is why I'm switching to schmoes know for my reviews.
Translation: "I don't understand how opinions work."
I agree with Ben, I liked it.
Why do fanboys get so hurt over someone's opinion? I mean, I get that you liked the movie and want to defend it, but stop being childish. Personally, the movie was at best a 6/10. It was fun indefinitely but it's unaware of how cheesy and silly it can be. This was not a high quality film. And no, they don't shit on everything. They loved Furious 7 and Mad Max, so why do they automatically have to be so orgasmic over Jurassic World?
***** This has NOTHING to do with politics. Lol. People will try to use "liberal" or "conservative" to make a point but just look dumb. I said it was unaware of how SILLY and CHEESY it is. The public will praise this regardless, they don't accept anything less than 9/10s
+Nick Peek "Why do fanboys get so hurt over someone's opinion?"
"It was fun indefinitely but it's unaware of how cheesy and silly it can be. This was not a high quality film."
Hypocrite much? LOL
These people don't give the movies they watch a chance for what they are. I've seen many reviews by these guys and every one is the same in giving all new movies shit. Don't get me wrong there are terrible movies out there but this ain't one of them. They find the littlest things and complain about it. But whatever to each their own i guess. I absolutely loved "Jurassic World" it was amazing, it pays homage to the past films and it's another great chapter of Jurassic Park. I was on the edge of my seat, I thought everything was on point and I left the theaters damn happy and money well spent. But you guys are terrible at reviews. If you think you can make a "perfect/great" movie I'd like to see you guys try.
There was this study done where researchers found that if a film doesn't have any big moment of suspense or action in the first 15 minutes, most men will find the film boring or slow paced. I don't remember exactly, but you can probably find it on google somewhere
Geez, the trailer still looks awful.
Fun fact, the guy running with his drinks in his hands was played by Jimmy Buffett (also Margaritaville is featured in the movie)
I just jave to disagree with this review. I loved this movie. I think part of the hate it seems, stems from how much they loved the original. In their eyes, I feel, no matter how good this is nothing could live up to it. Dont get me wrong, I love the original as well. But I feel like reviewers get hit with that nostalgia bug, and cant enjoy something for what it is.
Are there some things wrong with this movie? A few things I could have done without, like the whole parent divorce thing. The romance didnt bother me that much as I expected that to be the case. I mean it just makes sense. Two attractive people usually are gonna be interested in one another. But they did do the most cliche movie thing ever. Which if you've seen the movie you know what I mean. Now I could go into all the things that work in this movie, but I dont have time right now. I would be happy to list them a little later.
yoboyrob201 This movie deserves a solid 8/10. Critics and online reviews are raping it over it not being as good as the first, that's not good at all. Nostalgia should not hurt the production and creativity of sequels in films, people should not expect it to be the an grand introduction over and over to a film series. This is the movie were I said, I won't listen to critics and listen to the users and man I'm glad I did and your completely correct.
Nathaniel Clay
i gave it 4 out of 10 some dreadful acting and godzilla vs a T rex dear me !
Nathaniel Clay and people shouldn't immediately like and embrace a mediocre blockbuster just BECAUSE of nostalgia, like you're doing. you plugging your ears to any criticism to your dumb dinosaur movie is exactly what's wrong with the viewing public these days and why regressive bullshit like this makes a billion dollars. I hope you're happy.
ribbit Well that's your opinion, I'm not against anything your saying...Ok that's what you think.
it starts to be a monster flick godzilla like once you make animals that never existed least Trex won !
T-Rex didn't even exist in the Jurassic period, they were only in the Cretaceous period, but that is not what pisses me off. I have always hated the original movie.
The original movie watered down Hammond to the point where it made the movie make no sense. In the book he was more like the bad guy from Lethal Weapon 2, and not some doddering grandpa limping from scene to scene with a stupid grin on his face.
In the book, Hammond is a greedy, selfish prick who created the park because he didn't want his billions of dollars wasted on disease research, because, if a cure was found, it would be regulated, and he would never make his R&D money back, but entertainment is not regulated, hence, the idea for the park.
Everyone says it was a breakthrough movie because of the SFX and I see that, but you can still have good FX and a prick as a main character. Why they watered down the entire plot is baffling and it ruins the movie for me. I am not even sure why they included the part about Nedry stealing the embryos if they weren't going to make Hammond a cutthroat businessman instead of Willie Wonka.
I would have preferred a more honest version in the original, where Hammond is just a selfish asshole and gets everyone, including himself killed or exiled from their home countries at the end.
Just saw this after two years, and I came away very unimpressed. Most of it looked fake, I could almost see the green screen.
this movie is an updated follow-up for the younger generation, who may not have been exposed to the original Jurassic stuff
Why do some people take fictional movies so seriously? Half of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park weren't around in the Jurassic period. Realism is not the priority. The priority is an exciting thrill ride of a movie. I'm with Ben. Suspend your belief and just enjoy the movie. I loved it. It had a fair few "WTF" moments and also included some nostalgia.
The movie was ruined by forcing itself to achieve a PG-13 rating. The killings were all too tame. You have a guy bitten in half, yet there is almost no real blood.
In fact, it's a touch of realism that she was able to outrun the T-Rex.
Please don't speak ill of Bryce Dallas Howard as I am madly in love with her. NOW- SERIOUSLY, this is the kind of movie that only should be reviewed by 12-14 year olds (the intended audience) :)
Well, the only problem with the original Jurassic Park was that the one dude fucked up the system, there wasn't any reason for shit to hit the fan if not for him.
they obviously weren't dinosaur lovers as kids because this flick fulfilled every dinosaur lovers fantasy.
Apart from the first scene Jurassic Park takes a long time to get going too, Matt. And you have that dread in the background from the first three movies, we know that shit will go down.
Technically, Ben, the T-Rex wasn't in the Jurassic World (era) either ;)
Also, to be fair, the ONLY reason the park went wrong in the first one is because of human corruption/sabotage.
i love how she said dont bring your kids. i waited until my son could go to a party before i went out to see it, and theres two people behind me with a 4 and 6 year old, and someone down in front holding a 2 year old. Come the fuck on!
Alonso really has his panties in a twist, Jesus! Talking about the only French-speaking black guy in the caribbean. Well, there are over 800.000 Frech-speaking black people in the caribbean with Martinique and Guadeloupe for instance.
Theyre surprised that a few people dying didnt stop a company from opening the park and making billions of dollars from it?... Thats pretty dumb.
Fair criticism is fair.
Alonso was seriously misleading about the movie. There was a time early on when characters were developed, but there was not too much of it. And they did build up the menace of the dinosaurs during that period, Alonso made it sound like it was all family fluff. The movie fully delivered on the theme of dinosaurs being dinosaurs, and also, dinosaurs chasing and eating people. The plot was kinda by the numbers and predictable, but hell, the movie delivered the cheese that I came for. I'm glad I didn't take Alonso's opinion seriously.
WHERE IS GAME OF THRONES SEASON 5 EPISODE 10 REVIEW?? WHY ARE THE COMMEMTS DISABLED FOR THE GAME OF THRONES REVIEW VIDEOS???
Great reviews by the way, keep up the good work.
I've listened to these guys long enough. They're not critiquing movies anymore, they're just complaining. I babysit 10 year olds with more mature and valid opinions about films then these fools.
'We have our first genetically modified hybrid' (enter sound track like Godzilla noise)
I loved Dinosaurs as a child, so I am happy just to see huge Herbivores striding across the plain.
I don't know what you guys expected. It's a popular action movie, of course it's going to have flaws. Who cares, I'm still going to see it this weekend.
I just saw this movie, I'm totally on Ben's side! It is not boring, Chris Pratt is not boring, yes some things are silly and cheesy but it's a decent film that pays tribute to the first one. My only problem was they kinda ruined it with the way it ended, the writing wasn't so smart.
When you guys criticized the part where she outruns the T-Rex in high heels, I thought (because I hadn't seen the movie yet) that you guys were zeroing in on a very small detail of the frame. When I actually watched the movie, holy shit, the shot is >>zoomed in
Digital cameras and cgi are two of the millions of things which have ruined cinema.
According to these reviewers, the first JP was 'fine' and 'fun' - I think I already know what kind of reviewers these guys are.
This review was painful to watch. Jurassic World is a good summer blockbuster. People are so blinded by nostalgia when talking about the fist Jurassic Park.
The T-Rex was the same one from the original film 22 years ago, she aged and was much slower, that was apparent - also, she wasn't trying to outrun her, she was following the flare. Same reason why it didn't kill the raptor at the end and walked off, she's an old bitch.
you know what made the first one so great? the effects, thats why everyone remembers so fondly it was the first time that level of effects had been seen the story was just a survival story and thats why the rest of them can't measure up to most people they already saw the effects and they just saw the survival stories
Ok, I liked this movie, it was worth the money I spent for my mother and I to see it. But man, it wasn't "good". The story line is jumpy, the pacing is bad, the editing was horrible, and things appear and disappear immediately when the plot requires.
Some bad things:
There are action scenes that are strait out of the initial alien ambush in the movie Aliens. Characters appear and disappear from the story. It's a huge Mercedes and iPhone/iPad commercial. I was super impressed with the girls 4 inch heels - she does battle w a Dino, runs, saves kids all without breaking a heel or ankle. They get the dinosaur count off... No shirtless jeff goldblum.
Some good things:
The wit is pretty good. The visuals were special. The actors did good with what they were given. It was nice to see in 3d.
"We don't need another remake of West World!" Great line.
Who is ben of dem?
i want Sam Raimi to make a dinosaur / fantasy film
fast paced. over the top. fun. un-apologetic with horror and tongue in cheek humor.
and 80s music
Hey look its Julianne Chastain
I don't give a fuck what Christy says anymore, she can turn her critic mode off for 50 Shades but not for blockbusters.
Yeah I'm with Ben on this one. I don't like when reviewers ignore the depth that a movie has and then say the movie lacks depth. I'm not saying the movie is incredibly deep, but come on. You can't pretend there aren't some interesting ideas here.
Aren't you guys associated with rotten tomatoes, how the hell did this movie get a 70%?? 30% in my books.
You know, Ben, I know you're going for the "messed" look, but it's too much, buddy. You want your look to say "I'm adventurous" not "I just slept in a gutter."
I swear that What The Flick can only do TV Reviews bc every movie review is so terrible bc if the movie isn't an artsy Fartsy movie it is automatically a Terrible movie.... Really sad bc I love the TV show reviews!!! But God I hate these Movie Reviews... And Especially Alfonso is really sad bc he does all the tv show reviews and I agree with him alot but these movie review is bad.... Ben does it right explain the likes and show the bad things....... AND NO ONE ELSE THINK THE SAME THING ON ANY OTHER REVIEW... I would understand if everyone didn't like it but time and time again other reviewers like it and What The Flick doesn't.... Trying to be different? Doesn't work
welp.... that's disappointing. I trust Alanzo and Matt. Still was expecting something dumb fun especially the shot of Motorcycle raptor buddies with Burt MacKlin FBI. I wish the film brings out the kid in me.... I guess not.
crithon it will, don t listen to them and go see this movie, it has a mosasaurus in it. you will have the best 2 hours of this year
Christy really loves shitting on really good movies! First Little Boy, Avengers 2, and now this? What's next? Terminator Genisys?
That this was the highest-grossing movie of the year makes me fear for the future of humanity.
I don't get why some people weren't thrilled by this movie. The I-Rex was a real monster, one of the scarier things I've seen in a while. I was totally into this movie from start to finish, agree with Ben. Even though many things weren't well done, there was enough good stuff throughout. Every commentary on this movie starts with: Why did they open a new park after what happened? Well it's not really that surprising. If the technology were available, I don't doubt people would find a way to use it. And in the end, it's kind of like a zoo, but bigger. There is no reason why a park could never work.
Oh those .2's and .1's really help fine tune the scoring...............Really?Whats next,two decimal places?
You're scoring out of ten and you have to get that nit picky?
Jurassic World = Eye Candy
Asylum is like, "Wait, did we make that movie?!"
I completely disagree with Ben. You open a park with dinosaurs you will never need " other attractions". The hole bio-engineered I-Rex felt completely crap and ruined all the immersion.
Also, militarising raptors is the most stupid, retarded concept. Even if the army would need such " weapons" you could use fucking tigers. I mean, they are probably faster, certainly more agile and stealthy. And we have trained them in circuses for years (maybe centuries now).
The hole movie was full of dump, retarded moments and concepts, but in the end it was enjoyable to some degree and the final fight was awesome.
I agree. This movie was super generic and not even that good looking. Some of the digital shots in the original looked better (and I know a lot were animatronic so don't tell me idk what I'm talking about). Plus so many plot points were just so stupid. The original was so much smarter and tense and a lot less campy.
Great review! I like the movie but saw a lot of the flaws as well. I did enjoy seeing Jimmy Buffet's cameo!
The T-Rex wasn't in the Jurassic Period. Spielberg lied to us.
UA-cam comments have no tone of voice.
As a matter of fact, it's still at 71% 10 days later
Christy Lemire does not stop taking about how hot is the guy (as a woman she can) its funny. The movie looks bad. The first one, based on the book did have an interesting subplot about complexity and arrogance.
Don't bring your kids to this movie targeted at children. Sigh. Hollywood sucks in the Summer.
Yeah this movie was absolutely horrible. The only enjoyable part was the final battle scene (which was like watching a 1970s kaiju movie) had me laughing out loud.
Well the fact is that the Jurassic Park T. rex was basically my childhood hero, and I feel like if Jurassic Park was made for the first time and released today, this is the kind of movie it would have been. It has lessons and wonder in it but is more action-heavy. I paid attention to every single word of dialogue in this movie, and every problem I had with the movie going into it was explained to my liking. There were times when it stretched my suspension of disbelief but overall a good movie. Up there with Ultron as best of the summer. 8.3/10.
Jurassic Park is my favourite movie and Jurassic World met all my expectations. 9/10
This movie was pretty bad. Slightly better than 2 and 3 but that is an extremely low bar as those are terrible. I like how multiple people in the comments are like "I am going somewhere else for my reviews, these guys are too harsh."
What actually worked for you in this film? I mean problems aside, what did you like about it?
I think this movie was amazing, but I agree with the Chris Pratt being boring in this film.
Honestly, I LOVED it
