Ah...Jurassic Park...

I love it because it's gosh darn magical! The effects still hold up even by today's standards (ignore the fact that we know dinosaurs have feathers now), the sound effects of dinosaurs were believable even if we didn't know how they really sound, and it brought dinosaurs into the public consciousness. This movie is just dripping in nostalgia whenever I see it.

Lastly, the music, oh the music!! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8zlUUrFK-M)



However,

I hate it because it's so god damn anti-science! Aggressively so. Rather than celebrate the miracles John Hammond brought up in the world, it rather paint it as a cautionary tale. All the bull about how "man shouldn't play God", and every single thing that comes out of Ian Malcolm's mouth just makes you cringe.




...yeah I pretty much killed any chance I have at meeting any girls in this site with this thread. But screw it, who else have this love-hate relationship with the movie?

WHOOPS


So apparently with this site, there is a character-limit on the title, yet you are never told it reaches that limit and the site simply chooses to not add any words that exceeded that limit, that word being "Jurassic Park".



(PS - yeah I loved Ice Age, the sequels not as much though)

Unfortunately the quality appears to go down with each subsequent sequel.


With Jurassic Park being the shortest of the 3 films (yet no cheaper...)

I don't have a love hate relationship with Jurassic Park ...
the first one ...I was young... saw it with my bro ...
thought it was really good ... not sure if I saw the second one...
can't remember an haven't seen the newest one yet either ...
but all the animation was really awesome for that time ...

what do I know... I never took the movies very seriously ...

It's an entertaining Summer blockbuster flick, the effects are still impressive. I don't look for messages in these types of films, same as the superhero movies today, they're there as pure entertainment.

But I do agree with zippy, the book is way better.
