Oh I understand all that and I actually quite enjoy Transformers, all 4 of them. I guess it's because there's no pretense, they don't try to be anything other than popcorn fair, exciting thrill rides with little to nothing in the way of character, emotion or depth. Not that this does either, I'm sure I will enjoy it when I do see it all in context, but the trailer makes it look annoyingly stupid, not sit back and enjoy the ride stupid.

Really enjoyed this.

 

It had a great throwback element, and the two leads as well as the kids were great.

 

There was lots of suspense, reminiscent of the first two films and some emotion, too. -

When they petted that veggie dino as it dies :'(

 

 

The one part that totally didn't fit and was totally redicuous was when

the two leads decided to share a passionate kiss mid way through a pterodactyl attack, with people dying around them and her still not knowing if her nephew and niece were safe

OMG. The shade at ha nephew being called ha niece!!!!!!!!! :lol:

 

Just been to see this myself, very enjoyable and entertaining to watch! I really loved the scene where

kids found the old Jurassic Park place!

SO much nostalgia and very nicely done too! The finale scenes were great too. We had a kid in our sold out (350 seats) screen and he was

laughing his head off when the water dinosaur jumped out and ate that modified dino! It was so cute.

:lol:

 

Oh and YES at that emotional moment you spoilered! :cry:

 

I'd definitely give it a solid 7 out of 10. A very enjoyable, entertaining thrill ride. It just makes me want a pet dinosaur, all over again!

WAS ALMOST IN TEARS WHEN

BLUE DIED but Survived *.* when the dino died omg.

Well holy hooker. A $204 million opening weekend in the U.S. and well over $500 million worldwide. Instant record breaker on the worldwide market and 2nd to the Avengers in the U.S. by only $3 million. Don't think anyone saw that coming. This could well end up the 3rd biggest movie ever.

Biggest opening weekend ever. Over $500 million is quite the achievement to say the least.

The figures for this are INSANE. Makes me realise my predictions for Star Wars are probably totally off the mark too. The film IS very good, if not amazing and not as good as the original. Loved all the little throwbacks and the whole thing was well paced, funny, dramatic and had a few shocks too. Props to Claire for running so far in those heels too.

Yeah! I think 'Star Wars' could achieve that feat and perhaps head upwards of $600m WW opening weekend?

I'm thinking $250M US and maybe $400M WW, so yeah. Assuming it has a global day and date bow.

 

But on the topic of JW again, it ended up just nudging over $500M WW, $204.6 from the US and $307.2 from the rest of the world, first film over $500M for an opening weekend. It wasn't #1 in either of those though, just a few million behind The Avengers in terms of US grosses and about $7M behind Deathly Hallows 2 in terms of WW gross, but obviously a stellar performance all the same.

Jurassic World had a stronger than anticipated Sunday and it appears to have taken $209 million in America. It could be on course for the next $2 billion I reckon.

 

EDIT

 

The final weekend figure for “Jurassic World” is $208.8 million at the North American box office. Internationally, the film’s final gross was raised to $315.3 million, passing 2011’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2″ at $314 million, for a worldwide opening of $524.1 million.

Wow, so it IS #1 on all counts then.

Thought Jurassic World was brilliant, dare I say it but it was almost as good as the first Jurassic Park. And I'm soooo glad I watched it in 3D.

I feel like I'd wanna see this if Chris Pratt wasn't in it. He's become pretty unbearable recently. A lot like Jennifer Lawrence, shoved in everyone's face and in

too many (average at best) movies with not a whole bunch of talent being shown.

I Really dislike Chris pratt too but it was fantastic nonetheless.

Enjoyed this a lot more than I would've expected. It was just so fun. I love Chris Pratt but he was far from my favourite thing about it, I preferred Bryce Dallas Howard and the two kids (my love for the older one wasn't purely down to shallow reasons, honest).

 

I don't recall seeing any of the previous movies so there wasn't really any nostalgia for me but this one is definitely something I'd watch again.

 

Also this;

 

YES! Buzzfeed have just done an article on the margarita guy stealing the show away from Chris! :lol:

 

Chris Pratt was the best character from this one tbh. But it's nice to FINALLY have young actors who actually act and aren't necessarily whiny, moaning characters! They were actually likable!

I think Bryce Dallas Howard literally carried this movie. She was excellent. No shade to Pratt, he was great too.

I loved Bryce Dallas Howard Too. She's an undeniably fantastic actress!

 

Other news on Jurassic World. It just had the highest non holiday Monday gross on record in America and third highest Monday gross ever in America.

a film of two halves, the first half borders on annoying as all the characters bar Chris Pratt's need a real good thumping for being dumbass. The characters are not sympathetic by and large, and Chris Pratt saves the movie from having zero charm on the character front (apart from the nerdy kid). Plotwise you can see it all coming, but then if you didn't there'd be no movie, the nostalgic back-references are welcome, and the second half steps it up a gear. 7/10 (6 for the movie, plus 1 for Chris Pratt)

The kids were likeable?! I wanted the youngest one to be the first one killed off!
