http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-w-58hQ9dLk I was feeling a bit down and when I saw this I actually cried laughing. Always been a Jurassic Park fan anyone else love the books or films?
The third movie is the best! Cant wait for the Jurassic World! I hope they included there my favorite Dino, the awsmazing Stegosaurus!
Really? That's usually the one that people like the least. I love all of the films and am super excited for Jurassic World. I would really encourage anyone that loves the film but hasn't read the books, to read them. The first Jurassic Park novel is incredible. It is so well written and the imagery just invokes a sense of fear and excitement.
I loved the fact that they showed a unix computer on the film. (... And yeah, dinos were ok, I guess...)
I can't wait! :icon_bigg I actually really like the Lost World book. I still can't get my head around why they never used some of the ideas/set pieces from that book in the movie sequels.
As a kid I was hugely into jurassic park. In hindsight I find a lot of those movies HILARIOUS more than anything else. But you know what, after that point I also still think the dinosaurs look brilliant, I love how they were brought to life. Can't say the same for most of the actors. With the exception of Jeff Goldblum. His CG enhanced shirtlessness really brought him to life
Absolutely. I highly recommend. I think he was a great writer, love some of his other work like The Andromeda Strain.
The original was great for it's time. And The Lost World wasn't too bad either, though everything with them being in New York at the end was, well, a bit silly. I found III to be kind of dull. It felt more like a piece of fanfiction. There's several differences in the novel, which are an interesting comparison piece to the film. Both have their pros and cons.
I can honestly say though that I don't think I've ever seen a film about dinosaurs that can compete with the Jurassic Park franchise. The same with shark films and Jaws. You're right, the comparison between the novels and films is interesting as it usually is with literature that is commercialised into a film. I always feel something is lost when you turn a book into a film because you are only getting one person's interpretation (director/screenwriter) of the text.
