Jurassic World. Sexist? (spoilers)

I didn't notice the product placements. Was too busy looking for reptiles. Maybe it will have a subliminal effect on me.

Are you going to buy a Mercedes tomorrow?

I didn't notice the product placements. Was too busy looking for reptiles. Maybe it will have a subliminal effect on me.

I was too annoyed with the consistent brand/product placement to notice to be honest.

I'm surprised the Veloceraptors weren't running around in Nike Trainers...

The heels did annoy me but as someone with a high instep I'd have been better with than without.

My DS is also 10 and he was fine too. There's not a lot of blood or guts spilling.

at "too old for this shit"

It was 20 years ago. I wonder how long a T. rex would last for. And a looooong time to be single.

I quite liked the way they related this to the first movie. Down to the Velociraptor's head above the plants looking at the possible prey (it ended differently, though).

Also: that the velociraptors still don't have feathers.

My favourite bit was when the giant air beasts attacked and one of the resort visitors paused to pick up two cocktails off a table, to take with him as he ran.

That would have been my sister in such a situation.

I know.
But I'm prepared to accept the initial premise that it's possible to resurrect dinosaurs (and other extinct reptiles).

My main issue is the unbelievability factor. There is no way anyone could outrun a T. rex for long, let alone in heels. And the T. rex simply walking away? Yeah, sure.

Yes, aside from that it's completely believable ! (sorry that was sarcasm )

It's actually not that bad - it's tense & although u know the script with these films, you'll still get a few jumps etc. my DD is ten & loved it, as did her 9 yr old friend.

I think we should try & fill in the gaps of the conversation between T. rex ( lweji) & the raptor.

T. rex - 'I'm knackered - that big fecker nearly had me there. As much as I'd love a bite to eat, they're all yours blue'

Blue - ...

Umm slightly off topic but was thinking of taking my 9yo dd to see this tomos, how scary/ gruesome is it?!!

Apparently it's the same T rex from the first film. She still has the scars from her raptor fight at the end of the first film.

Maybe that's why she just walks away?? Since she's getting too old for all this shit now haha

In fairness Jurassic Park III was a terrible film all round, that wasn't even the least plausible bit of it!

I think the highlight for me was Dr Grants dream and the raptor shouting Alan

WixingMords I feel for you, having to hear her shout ERIC!!!!!!!!!!! more than once is torturous.

I have just watched it and didn't think it was that bad. Definitely not enough women, but considering the main female character was supposed to be a corporate bitch she did well in saving people (with the T. rex and rescuing the bf from a pterosaurus).

My main issue is the unbelievability factor. There is no way anyone could outrun a T. rex for long, let alone in heels. And the T. rex simply walking away? Yeah, sure.

And why do people keep walking along paths and in the open when there are nasty dinos around? I'm looking at you, army guys.

The assistant was definitely eaten as she was being carried by the pterosaurus, which was swallowed by the large aquatic reptile.

PS - notice above the correct way of writing T. rex (yes, in italics, yes, rex in low case, no, no -)

My son is mad about Jurassic Park 3 (the spinosaurous being his favourite dinosaur) so I've seen it about 4874378 times. I can concur she is indeed the most annoying character ever.

Lack of female characters is quite the norm for films isn't it? Too many and it's a 'chick flick'

Very true. But even the first you had -

Dr Grant
Dr Malcolm
John Hammond
The guy who says "clever girl" and get eaten by a raptor
The lawyer guy
Samuel L Jackson
Tim
The guy who stole the DNA (or whatever it was)

And then for the females -

Dr Sattler and Lex

At least they were both good characters. Sattler was kind of badass and Lex saved the day by being a computer genius.

The mum in the third film though, one of the most annoying characters ever! I know she was trying to find her lost child but seriously who runs through the jungle full of dinosaurs shouting??

Thought this might be a good moment to throw in about women's roles in Hollywood.

Yes, overall there are twice as many parts for men in films.

Lack of female characters is quite the norm for films isn't it? Too many and it's a 'chick flick'

There's a lot less human deaths in the other films. But yes none of them are female now I think of it.

I was surprised that the assistant is apparently the only female character to be shown killed by a dinosaur in all 4 films.

The product placement was badly done and made you feel like you were watching a Mercedes advert

I didn't notice any product placement.

The heels were ridiculous. The product placement was badly done and made you feel like you were watching a Mercedes advert. The divorce story line sucked. The assistant definitely got eaten by the crocowhale thing.

I reckon the next film will be water based and the crocowhale thing will be the main dinosaur.

I haven't seen it but thanks for starting the thread, OP.

Bear in mind it'll pop up in active so not everyone responding will even know which section it's in.
