Jurassic Park 4: Dino Snuff
I remember the day more than 10 years ago, I was 9 and nothing kicks more ass than dinosaurs! I remember pestering my parents and going to the cinema at Bedok which was, at that time, REALLY COOL! (but crappy now...) Jurassin Park was great! I loved that movie!
Dinos - Good!
Movie - Good!
Popcorn - Good!
Tonnes of dino toys hitting stores EVERYWHERE - AWESOME!
What's not to like? I got my hands on everything, books, toys, plastic cups with the now famous logo on it, you name it!
That was when I got my first Michael Crichton novel - Jurassic Park.
It was of average thickness but I was 9, so the book look thick as hell and I didn't understand a shit! I bought it because it's Jurassic Park, the kick-ass movie. It didn't take long for the craze to go away.
A few years later, somehow I saw the book again and this time, I read, completed and understood it. The movie pretty much SUCK! So much of the original plot was left out, especially towards the end. However, the movie did manage to stay true to the book for a large part so I can still accept it.
The next thing I know, came Jurassic Park: The Lost World. This time I got the book and read it first. After I caught the movie, all I could think off was, WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?!! Apart from the title, a few character names, the name of the island, the fact that there are dinosaurs and the presence of that trailer, there's pretty much nothing in common between the movie and the book where it comes to the, very FUCKING important, plot! I slammed the movie and as far as I can remember, told everyone that watch it how much of a crappy movie it was and to those that actually like the lame-ass movie with the very unoriginal Godzilla-in-city-roar scene, I killed them all for the better good of man-kind.
To make things worst. Out came Jurassic Park 3. This time there was no book. Judging from the first 2 movies, it's actually understandable since with each movie, the reference to the actual plot in the books get lesser. Without a book, I wouldn't even have watched it if not because my dad got a copy of it on VCD at a later time. Watching it just proved my point, the plot of it was like a pool that found difficulty drowning babies.
Spoiler alert but whatever:
Kids got lost.
Parents went to find kids.
Gets lost too.
Finds kids.
Sees Dinos.
Gets chased around.
Escapes.
Happily every after.
Stupid.
There's nothing to the movie if not for great visuals that's been around since the first installment. Some things are better left alone and in this case, I'm refering to the PLOT of the great books by Crichton!
Assuming there's another sequel, it's got to be a Dino Snuff Film! The plot would most definately be:
Parents from JP3 wants revenge for all the exercise the dinos made them do.
Hires dino-hunter.
Copies plot of battle royale, kill.
Lots of blood and dino artery bursting action.
Once again. I'm bored.
