I agree. Though, I’d argue it worked well enough in JW due to the theme park aspects. Finding ways to bring kids back to the islands after shit has hit the fan makes absolutely no sense.

Kids need to have a relatable/POV character so they will want the merchandise.

yeah, I thought that was painfully clear two decades ago.

They could do a bit better developing them into interesting characters like Lex & Tim though.

Do people actually buy the human action figures for JP? I figured they would only want the dinos.

Hopefully these questions are explained and aren’t left as plot holes.

Unknowing moms, dads, and grandparents. Aunts and uncles, too.

I heard the reclining Ian Malcom figure with removable shirt was a hot item.

Almost 30 years and every damn movie is a rescue mission from an island. Ian Malcolm yet again saying they can’t be restrained, but they haven’t made it to any mainland. Change this shit Universal.

Why should they? The last one wasn't that good, IMO anyway, and rehashed many elements from the series, yet still managed $1.6B worldwide.

Looks like Chris Pratt went to the Tom Cruise school for sprinting

As much as I don’t like rehashed sequels, I can’t really think of much different that they could do to this franchise that I’d be interested in seeing. Hell half the people on this forum want some sort Dino-riders type story. The second they put lasers or machine guns on the Dinos, I’m out.

That being said, the trailer doesn’t look especially great but it’s a Jurassic Park movie so my ass will be there on day one.

Oh, and whatever Bryce Dallas Howard has been doing the last few years she needs to keep it up. She went from a fairly fugly young adult to drop dead gorgeous!

We got 2 minutes in The Lost World where a T-Rex made it on the mainland. Any story where dinosaurs might have migrated would be more interesting then this tired same old damn story.

Yep.

Also, seems like all of Jeff Goldblum's scenes will be testifying in front of a select committee. Meh.

I disagree, I've always found her quite attractive. She doesn't always take roles where she's done up like she is in this one, but it was always there. She looked great as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 3.

Gwen Stacy is when she made that beautiful turn. IMO, everything she was in prior to that she wasn’t very attractive yet (see Lady in the Water and The Village).

She wasn't done up in those movies, but I still found her quite attractive in the Village. Also, it's been 10 years since Spider-Man 3, so not exactly the last few years, lol.

Meh, I didn’t do the math. I just meant the older she’s gotten the better looking she’s gotten.
