Has there ever been a more generic and forgettable big blockbuster title than "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom"?
As far as Title : Subtitle names go, I'd say it's probably the least generic I've heard. Title: Evolution is far more hackneyed.

Liked he first one,but then they should have been honest and called the rest 'Carry On Dinosaurs....'

Fuck apparently there are five Carnosaur movies, if you count two which didn't use the official Carnosaur name (a privileged designation for only the best cheapo dinosploitation) but both used loads of footage from the earlier movies. I guess Jurassic Park/World feels obliged to exceed that total and regain the "most dinosaur films in a franchise (excluding Godzilla who isn't a dinosaur)" crown.

Godzilla was a dinosaur. Sorry is that deadnaming a proud kaiju

I quite liked Jurassic World, but never bothered with the last one

I liked when their innocent babysitter got ripped up and eaten. That was nice wasn't it

I didn't even like the first Jurassic Park film.

I havent seen any of the films

It's hard to take dinosaurs as a serious threat now that we've found out that they're a bunch of mimsy feathery popinjays.

They'd still probably rip you to shreds though.

A scary film about birds? It'll never work.

idunnosomename

Um excuse me have you heard of HITCHCOCK?!?!?

the stuffed eagle in norman bates living room is quite scary

Just found this excellent Wikipedia page. Apparently there are no movies about killer ostriches though.

I remember a film called Island of the Lost which had killer ostriches.  They were mutant or possibly prehistoric ostriches, but even so ostrichness was their predominant characteristic.

Was there a classic sequence where they run to the Chariots of Fire theme?

Could say the same about any feather-stuffed pillowcase.

Sick of all these Rod Hull biopics.

up_the_hampipe

They have released the first 5 minutes of the movie: https://twitter.com/JurassicWorld/status/1463175339383955460

Don't like it. Can't wait to see it.

Didn't the last one have frickin' velociraptors with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads? Hard to know where you go from there.

mothman

Was expecting the two T Rexes to start being subtitled there. Really did look like they were talking. Wonder whether they'll get all metaphysical in that the cloned dinosaur can "remember" its previous life or some shit like that.

I'm really surprised they haven't done a plot where an unknown bipedal mammalian intelligent lizard (like in that Star Trek Voyager episode) gets cloned and obviously the military try to turn them into enslaved supersoldiers with hilarious consequences...

idunnosomename

The tyrannosaurus has very fine feathers in the completely pointless prologue. The drive-in theatre is just stupid. Does it establish anything important to the plot like the worker accident with the intelligent velociraptor? No it's literally just T rex go rar knock over cars and here are some references to things you know. Fucking awful

It certainly seems like that's what they're going for. "65 million years later ... IT ALL ENDS."

It was a peculiarly crap fight between them, too.

Exposition

This is gonna be so fucking stupid and fun, both intentionally and accidentally.

Good compression format though

Poobum

That giggy is fucking ugly, like its been designed after a horrible 1980s toy dino. Liked the Quetzalcoatlus, and the Nasutoceratops, but that's only because I'm a nerd with models of both of those.

Noodle Lizard

I wonder if they'll do a sort of Godfather Pt. 2 deal, where the modern-day story is intercut with flashbacks to the (prehistoric) origin story in a way which contextualizes the present.

T-Rex: Beginnings.

Kelvin

The film will be awful, but I did think it was kind of cool to see a big budget depiction of day to day dino life without humans yapping all over it. I'd watch a whole film like that, tbh. 

Also, I know this is stupid, but it seemed kind of insulting to have
Spoiler alert
the most famous T-Rex in cinema meet it's (original) demise in such a pitiful way.

Makes it feel like we've been backing a right loser all this time.
