For yall that think this movie is bad… I'm legit curious what you think is good and what else is bad… because this is a movie about DINOSAURS…. As they say in the movie, "you don't see that every day… OR EVER" like what exactly do yall want from this movie? It's the 7th… SEVENTH movie in the franchise.
It's a summer blockbuster about dinosaurs who 100% new cast. There needs character development.
In Jurassic park we learn about grant… he's bad with kids, bad with technology, loves dinosaurs… end of movie comes full circle… nerdy can be bought and sells out Ingen… all from character development in the start if the movie. the action doesn't start until the trex breaks out about an hour into the movie.
Are y'all this bitter in real life? There was a guy 2 seats away last night after the trex raft scene I heard him say that was cool, but it was better in the book…

Some people just want to watch the world burn ... or hate on movies, especially those considered "blockbusters"
Plenty of blockbusters can be good, this one was not.
Just because it has dinosaurs in it and you don't ever see that doesn't mean you have to like something that isn't good.
The first half hour has absolutely terrible and completely drags. There is a 30 second scene of a guy chewing Altoids and they try and use it as a running gag. It's absurd. The initial cause of the dinos escaping is essentially an advertisement for Snickers. The main dinosaur is objectively stupid looking. There was a scene where dinosaurs may as well have made a heart with their tails. They somehow had a 17 year old car from the future. The side characters were idiots for the most part and the Delores dinosaur acted more like a kitten than a dinosaur and seemed like the entire point of it was to have something to sell to kids at the toy store.
There are plenty of other problems with the movie as well. It just wasn't a good movie.

Every movie can be broken up like this and made to look dumb. Like...pick any movie and I can do it.
You didn't like it, and thats fine, that doesn't mean its a bad movie, it just means it didn't work for you. I thought the Altoid bit was dumb in the beginning, but then it did make me chuckle later on, so it worked for me.
You don't have to make the people who like a thing feel stupid for liking it just because it doesn't work FOR YOU. Just like people who enjoy the movie don't need to make you feel stupid for not enjoying it. Its fine, you hated it. Some people liked it. We don't have to try to win people over to our sides.

It's hard to say what the actual numbers are because of how loud a few people can be but there is clearly a subsection of the population that gleefully wants things to fail either as a "I told you so" or a "Hollywood is out of ideas." On the Star Wars threads and many others, people watch the entire series or set of movies despite saying how much they dislike it, just so they can get a full breadth of much they dislike it. We could probably count collectively on one hand the number of properties that have put out any sort of sequel particularly in the modern era, that it was considered better than the original - all I can think of off hand that has a case is some of the later Mission Impossible movies or Top Gun: Maverick - perhaps Tom Cruise is the magic sauce.
I agree. I thought Thunderbolts was a legit awesome movie, and it was considered a flop by Hollywood standards

Yeah, this is why the few times I've talked about Critical Drinker I always add the caveat that while I agree with some of the things he says, definitely not everything. There's absolutely a part of his gimmick, and the gimmick of his friends that he brings on his youtube channel, where they must hate on 90% of what Marvel and DC put out.
One of his frequent guests is a youtuber named Nerdrodic - that guy literally is the Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons. He owns a comic book shop, and he started a YouTube channel so that he could broadcast worldwide his condescending views on hollywood and everybody who isn't a purest comic book nerd like him, lol.
I'm not saying comicbook/popcorn blockbusters can't be absolute tripe. I'd say most fall within the 4-7 range on a scale of 10. And i'm not saying that we shouldn't have some expectations for these types of movies beyond just providing a "fun" time for 2 hours. I've been damn critical of a lot of them myself.
For what its worth, in this argument, I don't think Sea Speed is trying to be obstinate, or take over the argument, or convince anyone to switch to his "side". I've just gathered over many threads that Sea Speed enjoys a healthy debate, and he certainly doesn't take anything personal that's thrown his way. So I get the feeling he just expects others not to take anything personal he throws out towards them.

already booked my 4-D tickets and a hotel nearby. dad is getting krunk for this one.
Let's talk more about how reviews remain embargoed (not good), especially while this whole thing has been screened.
And TCTTS, who reposts every tweet he finds, failed to repost the one from the employee he laid off (and usually reposts) that broke the embargo.

Dude, this is so desperate.
Also, get your facts straight.
Once again, I only posted twelve reactions in this thread.
That's it.
And the last one is dated June 20th. I stopped posting them after that because someone in the 28 Years Later thread got all pissy about reaction tweets there, and after discussing with a couple other posters, I decided to dial it back on reactions tweets across the board, on all threads.
Jeff's reaction is dated June 24th, four days later. I didn't exclude him because his reaction was negative. I excluded him because I was excluding all reactions, as part of broader effort.
This isn't some conspiracy theory.
Good Lord.
What the hell is it about this board that attracts so many spiteful weirdos?
I got a chance to see one of the secret screenings. I really enjoyed it personally. It is leaps and bounds above Worlds 2 and 3.
I am starting to feel like Scarlett is just not a great actress as she falls kinda flat. But overall liked the human characters and Mahershala was nails. Was the plot with the pharma bro a little run of the mill, sure. But overall had fun with the movie. And I personally loved the Final Destination style opening that Campea despised even if it was dumb as hell..
I hope Gareth Edwards continues moving forward but hopefully gets a tighter script writer.
There is a scene that is so expertly done in horror/thriller that it might be a standout of the entire franchise going back to the beginning. Others have alluded to it on the previous page under their spoilers.

You did it more than once.
And when you actually see the movie (which you haven't) you'll know that.
Wtf even is the spoiler. A name with absolutely zero context as to who or what it represents. That isn't even the same thing as tweeting about Baby Yoda 2 seconds after the first episode of Mandalorian dropped.
What facts are not straight?
Movie- Not good.
An embargo being held for this long would confirm it's not likely to be well reviewed.
A screened movie while holding back an embargo means they know the critic scores will be bad, were test ballooning some audience scores hoping to get that up (did not happen), and now here we are.

This is not how that works
If they were worried about the movie they would absolutely not do early screenings. Early screenings means they feel very confident that audiences will like the movie.
Review embargoes are also very common and in the summer movie season where every week has a different tentpole, holding reviews until the week of release helps to capitalize on building the noise up just before release.
Also….not sure where you are seeing audience scores that agree with your take. I've not seen any audience scores anywhere yet (typically drop when review scores do).
It's cool to hate the movie, just feels weird to actively root against it the way you are.

Your facts straight about ME.
But also, your other facts are **** too.
This is NO embargo on social media reactions, which blows a hole in your theory, seeing as critics can already publicly say whatever the hell they want about the movie. They just can't post full-length reviews yet. This is an EXTREMELY common practice.
The embargo lifts tomorrow, 48 hours before the movie itself releases. For most blockbusters, review embargos lift two to four days prior to release, and this fits that model exactly. Yes, the blockbusters that studios are extremely confident in often have their embargoes lifted earlier - sometimes a week to two weeks earlier - otherwise what we're witnessing here is standard practice.
Is this critic score probably going to be bad? Yes.
Would Universal have lifted the embargo earlier if they had more confidence in the movie? Maybe. Because, again, they DIDN'T embargo social media reactions and would have done so if they were truly panicked.
Either way, these movies are critic proof. Ultimately, none of this matters because it's a ****ing Jurassic Park movie releasing over the July 4th holiday.
It's going to make a ****-ton regardless, just like the past six movie have.
Your obsession with needing this move to fail, and constantly trying to play gotcha games with me, is ****ing weird.
I'd argue, but I'll defend dinosaur movies until my death... so, I'm not a great gauge here.

It's always so hilarious when you guys say **** like this, because I don't even click on 75% of the threads on the front page of this board. I pretty much stick to the threads I start and a few others. I rarely talk music, concerts, books, etc, I really don't participate much at all in the game/list threads, and right now, at quick glance, there are **** ton of other threads I've never even opened. Which just goes to show how disillusioned you are, and how it's really just about your dislike of someone who doesn't share your same bull**** opinions.
Oh, so he's obsessed with me, too. Just like a number of other F16ers. It's in their nature, I guess. They so desperately need an "other" to hate, in order to fuel their endless *****ing and moaning on the internet.
Anyway, back to the movie. The embargo just lifted and yeah, about what we were expecting...

His obsession seems to be with Hollywood "failing". I'll ocassionally chuckle when karma bites the ass of someone really obnoxious like Rachel Zeigler, but I love movies and tv, hence why I post on here. What I don't understand is expending time and energy desperately hoping so much that something fails to the extent that I'll constantly check on F13 threads and post comments about how much I dislike it.
Hate fuels them. They truly, desperately need it. It's an addiction. And Hollywood is often where they get their fix.
