Mild Jurassic World spoilers from leaked footage:

In the leaked instagram footage the Pteranodons looked like their TLW variations. Hopefully it was more than placeholder.

Anyway rewatched the first JP in BD last night, the movie still looks bloody insane, especially the entire T-Rec sequence at night (bit less the first part with the Brachiosaurus)

Not even talking about the raptors, mind blowing that the movie came out 20 years ago

What the hell? Is this pic official or shopped?
 
I watched a bit of of the first JP last night and the brachiosaurus bit looks horrid by today's standards and so does a lot of the CGI that isn't masked by lighting. Rose covered glasses.
 
Pratt confessed that he had some qualms about it: Namely, he wasn't happy with his own performance. "I'm just like, Aw, why did I do that with my eyebrow?" he told Vulture. "Unfortunately, it was one of those things you do as an artist where you're hypercritical about it the first time you see it. I had to take a couple steps back and keep watching it before I was like, 'Oh my God, that is really good.' So it took me two or three times seeing it before I knew it was great, but that's how I was with Guardians of the Galaxy, that's how I was with The Lego Movie, that's how I am with everything I'm in." A self-confessed Jurassic Park superfan, Pratt sought to assure fans, "The movie's gonna be ten times better than the trailer."

Well, he will continue to build hype regardless.
 
I can't stand to hear my own recorded voice, let alone see a video of myself acting. No psychological training in the world could get me to be comfortable with that.

And though Pratt's all too willing to put his own performance through the wringer, he's not nearly as tough on other people's creative efforts. "I'm not that 5 percent, I'm just not," he laughed. "I'm the guy who's like, 'DUDE, DID YOU SEE THAT ONE MOVIE? THAT WAS AWESOME!' And people are like, 'Really, The Butterfly Effect?' And I'm like, 'YES! IT'S THE BEST MOVIE!'" He grinned, shooting one last look at the tray of Lego cupcakes. "I love 'em all."

I loved The Butterfly Effect too lol
 
I think one of the big reasons the two sequels got a lot of flak was due to the downgrade in the quality of the cast and actors. The original had a great cast with only Tim and Lex being the "weak links" as the kids. Every other character as well had their own place in the film, from Muldoon the Game Warden to Genarro the Lawyer to of course Nedry.

In the sequels, you were often wondering, "WTF are these characters doing in this film?!" (certainly more so in 3 than 2 even). Many of them had no place in the film and only served as nuisances.

I just watched it again a couple hours ago, but my god do I hate Sara and Vince Vaughn's character and I believe much of the flaws boil down to those two and their actions.

I would argue it actually has loads of problems. The fact that the exposition phase for the existence of 'site B' takes about 15 minutes is a good indication of that. Even if you argued that it's the same length as the dig site invitation in the original, the structure of the original worked due to its massive self-reference structure. Literally everything in JP1 refers to something else in the park (the map we see constantly, and we see changing as the power goes off, for example) or about to happen (throwing away the raptor claw preceeds their release, the goat and the no-show foretell the paddock scene, and so on), whereas TLW has 'a map' but can't relate to it because it's not that kind of story.
As a result however, you get what seems a lot of loose ideas stringed together into the impression of coherence, but as anyone can tell by how awkward it is to have Roland at the cliff after the Rexes were just there (I noticed this as a teenager watching the movie in cinema's for the first time), then the inexplicable bones of bigger herbivores near the raptors (which are there in the novel due a river carrying them there, as tiny raptors could never move such large animals on their own), the general uselessness of the hunters, and the unexplained psychopath behavior of the raptors. That last one is actually the twist in the novel, but the movie, despite more exposition than is good for it, never explains why that is, thereby kind of 'missing the bloody point'.

But in all fairness some of these are problems stemming from the novel, which is very clearly Crighton taking a piss on himself, including a second Ian Malcolm morfine induced information dump, because clearly everybody just loves hearing some jackass ramble (really, that particular scene in the novel is super akward), and the fact that he was of course quite dead at the end of the first.

That doesn't however, excuse the explosion of the number of people on the island (the hunting party in the novel is three people, with five with malcolm), the san diego sequence (jacking it, jacking it, jacking it, jack... oh wait), and the gymnastics nonsense at the end. Spielberg's changes do however, give a nice exposition of species with the initial capture sequence. But we all know the rexes save this movie, yet that's also the problem: they are the only piece the movie can actually depend on, with the raptors playing second fiddle (though there are a number of technical shots there that few others can produce) without it being explained why that is.

I don't hate it or anything, but even at the time you just knew it couldn't quite get to where the first got us in terms of viewer emotions and the cohesive strength of the story.
If anything, that's why they returned to a park with this movie. Nobody wants to see another JP3. But a park works due to its nature of the illusion of safety through control, whereas senselessly going to an island with free dino's on it requires a leap of logic that most people wouldn't.

/ cents and nitpicking

edit: as a sidenote, Pete Postlethwaite's performance completely overpowers every other character.
 
Yeah, I'm watching JP2 right now and ugh, the beginning of the film is just terrible. From the totally abysmal way of introducing the "Second Island" in dialog (it just sounded like such a dumb plot device the way Hammond brings it up out of nowhere, it just screamed "we made this up so this film could exist")).

And then you've got the whole stupid "family" crap that was also in JP3, but with Malcolm and his gf and daughter. Just totally ruined it. Goldblum is just a terrible choice for main character, at least Grant had a certain charisma to him. Even worse is when the characters talk/scream over eachother so often which is just such a super annoying way of filming a scene.

The film is especially bad upon watching it after the first one, just such a decrease in quality from the actors to the setup and all. The only thing you can enjoy really is just watching the Dinosaurs.
 
Oh my god, the characters and deaths are just so stupid. This one guy gets killed by a T-Rex because he gets spooked by a snake when they're hiding from said Rex. Another gets lost and killed by Compys of all things.

I agree with what someone said about this movie feeling like a bunch of scenes strung together with duct tape. Like someone just came up with ideas for dinos attacking/eating people and built the film around that
 
After seeing all the dinosaur renders from the movie (including the hush hush hybrid), this damn movie is off my hype list. The dinosaurs look terrible in design. The hybrid is TERRIBLE. Fucking Godzilla 1999 reject is what that is.

I'M OUT!

Care to share any more details than this?

I like my job, so I can't go blabbin'. But I do want to lower everyone expectations of the hybrid. It looks like some sugar loaded preschooler went to town with crayons and the movie people used that as a template.

Fans of Paleontology will hate it, fans of JP will hate it. It's dumb, it's lazy, and it just doesn't look interesting. Too predictable and generic IMO.
