It's really not my problem you don't have an ounce of a clue how to approach a movie or how to judge a movie. I would respect your opinion more if you would have stated " I can see how many people can find this movie entertaining, but I just couldn't for xyz reasons" but like a typical internet age dude, you'd rather just out right diss it. You're def. in the minority in terms of it being entertaining, so, the consensus say's you're wrong. Also, your unnecessary name calling is in fact showcasing your maturity or lack of.
If you really took offense to the Chiefs Planet Lexicon then I apologize.
You do need to come to the realization that an opinion is just that and it is not a FACT. Just because something is popular does not mean it is 'FACT'.
All kinds of movies, TV shows, music are really popular and make millions of dollars but that does not make it entertaining for all. [Reply]

No, you just have a different opinion and take on this flick than I do.
To me this is just like the SW's prequels: I expected more and got less.
If you enjoyed it good for you but don't pretend like it wasn't some of the most retarded bull$#it pushed up on that kind of budget... [Reply]
I disliked it because I felt it could have been far more intelligent of a film than it was. Claire (played by Bryce Dallas Howard) was one of the most cardboard cutout characters I've ever seen on the big screen. I'm saying she was on par with Cate Blanchett playing Irina Spalko in Crystal Skull.
The two kids were aggravating characters and shitty actors. I actively cheered for them to be eaten throughout the entire film which sucks because I really liked the younger one in Iron Man 3.
Vincent D'Onofrio, who I normally quite enjoy, overacted the living shit out of his role. It was as if he watched Michael Rooker in Guardians and Walking Dead and decided that was the perfect way to play the overzealous paramilitary representative.
Entirely too many holes in the story, terrible acting top to bottom, and too many unbelievable sequences (that bitch's heels aren't gonna break as she wears them running through the entire movie... including the time when she is leading a T-Rex down a muddy path with just a flare / no automatic recall on those stupid hamster balls? / wild dinos are cool with people in hamster balls running around their territory? / Chris Pratt flying around the jungle on a road bike and not eating trees, rocks, and mud even once / ect, ect, ect...).
I get it... mindless dino fun. The first JP was excellent because it was both entertaining and intelligent... this one is just pandering to the lowest common denominator. Which is, of course, fine... but I was expecting SO much more. [Reply]

It's odd that JW made such a huge stack of cash and the new Terminator didn't.
I'm convinced both were written, directed, and cast by the same people... [Reply]

:-)
I was half forced to watch the original JW this weekend and I was thinking the exact same thing about the little brother. I'd seen it before....it's been a long time though.....and I had forgotten what a little punk he was.
1 - he wouldn't climb down the fence so he got shocked and almost died
2 - he decided to just sit there in the kitchen and not move while two raptors are looking for him
3 - he wouldn't get out of the suv stuck in the tree
I'm sure there's more.
FYI I thought the new one was all right. loved the ending.
GO BLUE! [Reply]

I agree with all of this, except we diverge in the last sentence. I probably wasn't expecting as much. That may be because I didn't see it when it first came out, so I'd read enough about it to lower my expectations. [Reply]

I loved the Matrix, but I can see how people would dislike considering it's a ripoff of a collection of movies ( Terminator, Tron, Blade Runner, and Ghost in the Shell) [Reply]
