Don't know why Star Lord couldn't just get another infinity stone and use it against the dinos...

I am soooooooooo IN!

Loved the first book, loved the first movie. Second was meh. Third, much better. This one looks to be going back to the awesome stage (but I will miss Alan Grant & definitely John Hammond.). Read elsewhere that they will pay tribute to Richard Attenborough in this movie.

3 was better than people give it credit for. 2 was just okay. The book, The Lost World, was fantastic, but the name was pretty much the only thing they used. They didn't even keep all the same characters.

Got a good chuckle out of this from a site that was promoting this movie a little. Its an image with some language on it, so be mindful.

Hybrid dinos? Not feeling that

They already falsified the characteristics of raptors in the first one, and then turned what could have been something interesting into a standard nature vs. human horror movie.

Might be entertaining on a Sunday SyFy day.

Why do I get the feeling the first attempt of a hybrid was between a T-Rex and a velociraptor? You would think someone would have the brains to say, "Do you guys think we should have started with some herbivores first?"

I'm not sure about the hybrid dinosaurs and the writing in the trailer seemed pretty meh, but I will definitely watch this when it comes out...on netflix.

Speaking of bad ideas, let's resurrect some ocean carnivores that can jump 50 feet out of the water - on an island - with a short little electric fence around their paddock. Nah, they'll never get out.

Reminds me of this:

I agree with most of this. I don't know if I'd call the second book fantastic, but I was still an enjoyable read.

And the third movie wasn't bad either. The only thing I really disliked was that they essentially made up a dinosaur that doesn't exist.

The biggest problem is that both the first book and first movie were so phenomenal it's impossible to live up to them.

Seriously, why would parents send their kids to an island filled with carnivorous dinosaurs? I mean, I understand wanting to send them away to get some sack time alone, but there's better options.
