Bailey is lucky he has Wicked in his hip pocket, so won't necessarily be punished for a flop.

It can't be that bad.

Isn’t this like the 59th JP film? How can any one top the first one? We’ve seen all this shit over 30 years ago.

by Anonymousreply 3July 4, 2025 1:12 AM

51%, really?

by Anonymousreply 4July 4, 2025 1:26 AM

People don't care what the critics say. They are going to see the film and no effete nerd's opinion will dissuade them.

I saw it today. I liked it a lot. Much better than the Chris Pratt trilogy.

We know it's a dumb dino movie. We're not expecting high brow Spielberg suspense. This isn't Shindler's T-Rex or Saving Private Bronty GAWD

I saw it yesterday with some friends and we all enjoyed it. I kind of would have like someone other than ScarJo in the lead,but I guess they wanted a big name. She was fine, but her casting was just sort of uninspired.

People need a break from the reality of the current political situation and this offers that to them. It also reminds us of the time when there was good and evil and good wins. They want moments like this in their lives, but have to settle for vicarious thrills:

I thought it was fun too. It's a dumb popcorn movie but better than most - it's not trying to be more. It's certainly better just for not having Chris Pratt or whatsherface Howard in it. Bailey is a treat for the eyes

Bailey’s collapse is complete.

With what will be the highest grossing movie of the summer, R11?

Hey, R11:

What’s your point, r13? The reviews are terrible and it’s going to collapse in week 2.

by Anonymousreply 14July 6, 2025 10:24 PM

Highest grossing movie of the summer? lol. Sure, Jan.

by Anonymousreply 15July 6, 2025 10:24 PM

Let’s count how many blockbuster movies were out this year. Um, hmm…

by Anonymousreply 16July 6, 2025 10:25 PM

R14, aka Leonard Maltin, once again, no one reads what the critics write. "Superman" opens on the 11th, but the dinos will still carry the week.

by Anonymousreply 17July 7, 2025 1:36 AM

r15 I mean, it literally is, according to data. Or can you not read?

by Anonymousreply 18July 7, 2025 2:42 AM

Some people here are really twisting themselves into a pretzel in order to support their narrative that this movie is a flop, and all because they personally didn't enjoy it. Bizarre, immature behaviour. Although I highly suspect it's all mostly coming from just one prolific poster.

by Anonymousreply 19July 7, 2025 2:48 AM

r19 Yes, because r16/15/14/OP is all over this thread, and any other one that talks about this. So very strange and unhinged. She is not happy!

The terrible first Jurassic World with Chris Pratt opened to $524M worldwide a decade ago.

That was pre-Covid, obviously. Things have change in the last decade.

DL is one of the toughest audiences out there, and the poster here who have seen it, seem to have enjoyed it. Based on this totally anecdotal evidence, I'm going to extrapolate from it that word-of-mouth will make this movie a huge hit.

No expert here, just MHO.

The trailers make the movie look dreadful and unwatchable, and when the trailer sucks... beware.

Is anyone else shocked that the critics are being as generous as they are?

[quote]The trailers make the movie look dreadful and unwatchable, and when the trailer sucks... beware.

The movie has already been out for four days. In general, 70+% of people liked the movie, based on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ratings.

It’s so bad

by Anonymousreply 25July 7, 2025 3:58 AM

Aside from the first Jurassic Park movie, these are effectively monster movies that go to watch people run and die. They are turn your brain off popcorn movies. If you want something artistic or stimulating, this ain't the movie for you. I probably going to see it just for Bailey really.

by Anonymousreply 26July 7, 2025 4:13 AM

I saw it today and it was big and fun - perfect summer blockbuster movie. The theatre was packed and lots of the shows were sold out.

by Anonymousreply 27July 7, 2025 8:38 AM

Shows being sold out means what?

It’s Jurassic Park. A massive IP. You’re acting like this was an original film. This wasn’t Sinners

r28 "You’re acting like this was an original film"

Where did r27 state that? How odd.

by Anonymousreply 30July 7, 2025 12:57 PM

With Jurassic World you know what you're getting, whereas most films are reviewed by po-faced critics who measure it against classics like Citizen Kane.
