The trailer got me excited and the fact that there's an actual park now automatically makes this better than JP3.

Really, I'm going specifically to see dinosaurs gently caress poo poo up so if that happens I will be satisfied.

It is a mosasaur. The palatine teeth are common in that group, and the head fit the profile of most mosasaur skulls. They just used the same model that was the idea for the really bad Jurassic Park video game, and made it much larger to be impressive. If it were a pliosaur the snout would have been thinner, lacking palatine teeth, and teeth likely would have overlapped the jaws.

Guess it can be chalked up to Velociraptors also being twice the size of real ones and Dilophosaurs having super spit, so why not. The double jaw is still a little off the wall though. Like the most we know about aquatic dinosaurs is from their jaws.

The only real "aquatic dinosaur" was Spinosaurus. What you are thinking of are marine reptiles (not related to dinosaurs at all), and we definitely have more than just jaws from them. Their skeletons aren't that uncommon at all.

I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!
Jurassic Park is a perfect movie. Lost World isn't, but I still love the hell out of it, and Jeff Goldblum and I'm one of the few people that loves the T-Rex in San Fransisco bit that everyone hates. I get why people don't like the third one at all, I guess, but I'm down with just seeing the dinosaurs so I enjoyed 3 anyway (of course with the exception of the new dino killing the t-rex). So I am so down for Jurassic World. I got giddy at the final shot of Chris Pratt riding his motorcycle along his hunting dog Raptor pals.

I like the idea people are throwing around that the T-Rex is going to save the day at the very end, and it makes so much sense I think I'm gonna be a little disappointed if that doesn't happen.

I dunno why people have such a problem with the raptors being trained after being shown as killing machines before. People tame animals that should never rightfully be tamed all the time. There was that story a while ago about that giant crocodile that some dude became BFFs until it died of old age.

Honestly I really can't think of anything that a Jurassic Park movie could do that could really make me hate it. I don't care that much about how good the writing or dialogue is as long as we see dinosaurs doing their thing (I love that shot in the trailer of people kayaking down the Stegosaurus river) and eventually getting loose and causing all sorts of chaos.

The fact that we have recently found out that Spinosaurus was primarily a quadrupedal, aquatic, fish eating dinosaur really vindicates my childhood since I knew that T-Rex losing that fight was bullshit. Also bullshit is that the movie didn't end with the two T-Rexes from the TLW coming out and avenging the death of its child. (Yeah apparently that T-Rex was the baby T-Rex from TLW grown up)

I'm hyped for this movie man; its basically going back to the days when I played Zoo Tycoon Dinosaur Digs or Jurassic Park Operation Genesis and watching me get bored and deciding to kill all the guests by destroying/blocking the exits and letting the dinosaurs out of their enclosures :unsmigghh:

Also cool to see a marine reptile in this franchise, they are really interesting creatures.

You are my kind of guy. This whole post is my kind of post. I don't have much love for Jurassic Park III for a lot of reasons, but I still watch it from time to time. I'm a sucker for actors reprising their roles for sequels and so far Jurassic Park movies have gone 3 for 3 without recasting which is great. It still thrills me a tiny bit to see Sam Neill as Alan Grant in JP3 and somehow the fact that they got BD Wong to reprise his role as Henry Wu in JW blows my mind for how smart it was.

I mentioned this before elsewhere, but I think it would be interesting if the real threat from the dinosaur hybrid comes not from the fact that it is killing people, but rather it starts hunting the other dinosaurs in the park and loving up the ecosystem.

It would be a good way to make the film feel less like a retread, since its not only human lives that would be at stake, but also the dinosaurs.

I want this to kind of be the reason why attendance is slumping is because the park is getting denounced a lot by Paleontologists for presenting inaccurate dinosaurs. Basically calling out Jurassic Park as like a massive Creationist Museum Theme Park.

I love Sam Neill because he gave a life to the character of Dr. Grant that immediately resonated with me at the age of 5. (I immediately knew I wanted to be a paleontologist after seeing JP) Much better than the novel version since movie Dr. Grant has an actual arc.

I didn't really like Sam Neill in JP3, his character was kind of bitter and had changed his opinions from JP where he called the dinosaurs "animals" to JP3 where he is calling them "genetic monsters".

Also I want there to be a cameo scene of Jeff Goldblum watching CNN from his apt as the park is in flames and starts to :smug:ly smile as the headlines read "Jurassic World in Chaos"

To be fair, a massive crocodile with extra accoutrement would be pretty cool in any other situation besides fighting a T-Rex. Have that thing just menacing a group of survivors in zodiac rafts? Get out of town that would be amazing. If they want to kill a T-Rex they could go with their new Mosasaur though which has to be somewhere between two and three t-rexes long.

They neither had a character as awesome as Robert Muldoon nor a death scene as bad rear end as his:

I can't imagine it'll fly. Unless they, while making hybrid dinosaurs, literally made a dragon, which I would be like "uh" then "hmm" and then "yes good".

The overhead camera angle made me think that the pterodactyls get out (maybe the poster's idea about the new dinosaurs wrecking the other dinosaur areas releases them?). There's also the shot of the kid hiding in terror at what I imagine is a raptor, but that could be another trailer misdirection and and that could be one of Pratt's hunting dog raptors. He'll burst in and start licking the kid's face and then Chris Pratt comes in and is like "he likes you"
