I actually like the emo dancing more than the gymnastics, lol. But this is a given. Even fans of this movie hate this part.

>The entire sequence in the city is line crossing for JP, it

>way they did, is very poorly explained.

I won't argue with any of this. I think it's fun and certainly visually terrific, but I can see why some wouldn't like this.

>Also, the best scene of the film, when the 2 dinosaurs are

>entertaining version of the scene in the first film.

See, this to me? That's where we part ways. I think this stands on its own. The scene with Moore on the glass *alone* is worth the price of admission imo. It's fucking brilliant.

>That's my take. I LOVE Jurassic Park, hate Lost World,

>kind of fits into the goofy good to an extent), so I'm looking
>at Jurassic World like this: o_O.

JP3 is far more forgettable, just due to lacking the visual splendor of the first two. I'll be interested to see if Trevorrow can capture the visuals-- the first trailer certainly seemed to indicate he's going big, which is a good thing (haven't seen the rest). I remain hopeful.
