Don't be so sure about that. To be an 'A-list' megastar implies he's been in a successive hit movies, and there are only very few actors who are on that list. Only time will tell regarding Chris Pratt.

Silly as that sounds ... you know what? Just take my money now. I can't wait to see Chris Pratt in a jetpack with his pack of velociraptors with frickin' laser beams on their heads.
no, silly. Jurassic Wars. Yoda is really a type of dino and when he gets kidnapped, the other dinos come to his aid. With a bit of help from the Wookies, the Asgaard and Pizza the Hut.

But the characters were paper thin, and the whole story was basically the first movie's formula with different ingredients. A lot of the dialogue was cringe worthy, especially the heroes' last scene.

Rise of the Jurassic Planet? Super smart dinosaurs have taken over most of the planet while a small population of humans battles against extinction.

Sorry PAhippo - tried to rep you for the chuckle I got from that one, but I've got to share the love elsewhere first.

So - thanks for the chuckle!

Ugh...I expect a few logical flaws and flights of fantasy in movies, but this movie makes it a priority to insult the viewer's intelligence throughout the movie. I won't list every flaw (it is a long list), but there is one that really made me laugh. They hit the designer dino with a rocket and it all that happened was it fell over...not even a scratch was on it! Really?

I can sum it up in 4 sentences...
-Scientists design a dinosaur to increase attendance and profits of the park;
-Designer dino gets loose through incredible stupidity of the park officials;
-Designer dino terrorizes park;
-Designer dino is overcome in an incredibly absurd way.

I cannot wait for Cinema Sins to tear it apart.

Wait, Jurassic World isn't based on real life events?

Hubby and I enjoyed the movie but wasnt super wowed by it. Great dino action, glad they really focused on them a lot. The start of the film was a bit slow but still overall a good time.

I couldnt believe how busy the theaters were. We went the tuesday after it opened for first showing of day and was packed. Normally we go at this time for any new release movie and its never busy.

I liked it. Not as much as I liked the first Jurassic Park when it came out, but definitely better than the others.
My kids loved it. They want to go again, but I think I'll let their mom take them next time.
