I know you clearly want to skim and cherry pick...but there’s no point in responding to a question like that. I’m reviewing a movie, not having a useless race debate with you.
There were a lot of things “forced”. Not just race. As I specifically pointed out, there was forced nationality themes “the big bad evil Russian” and forced nerdy kid and the young girl being the hero’s parts. They were both scared and unsure of themselves ...but golley gee there’s a hero in each of us!
Most films stereotype I didn't have a problem with it. People these days are so thin skinned.
Daniella Piñeda isn't Asian. She's Mexican-American. And she's one of the best things about a movie that isn't better than its predecessor.
I was thinking when I saw her, how did Victoria Justice get a new voice? She seriously looked like Victoria for a little bit at first glance, just maybe a little more tan...
It was kind of a meh movie to me, disappointing since I considered Jurassic World from three years ago to be my favorite movie of that year. Hard to live up to I suppose.
A co-worker I saw loved it, but only because he saw it in a theater that had something called 4DX. The chairs move in tune with the action on screen, plus it was in 3D, and also smell and air effects. If it wasn't for that, he said the movie would have been so-so.
Of course it was all wrapped up in a nice politically correct bow for the modern world. You have the nerdy kid being heroic. The young girl being heroic. The creation of an Asian woman character. The black kid. The evil Russia bidding for the most dangerous dinosaurs. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no racist or person who have anything against other people, but it’s so obviously forced and tiresome. The only thing we were missing was the gay couple.
.
How is people just being and acting like people "politically correct"?
I guess it wasn't enough for you that the main character who basically saved everyone and did 90% of all the stuff was a white dude?
What weirdo rant is this? So when any movie isn't 100% white dude does everything, it's too "politically correct"?
Maybe everyone else shoulda just sat there and crapped their pants and let Owen do everything. Then there would be less complaining about "forced" stuff.

Well, there almost was something similar before the scene was cut
Chris Pratt made a big deal about his Christian faith before the movie was released. Perhaps some folks in Hollywood realize that the big money often comes from families buying tickets? Though Lion King did just fine in spite of "controversy". I didn't care if Elton John wrote some material but others did. Having small children often changes people.
What does lesbians have to do with dinosaurs....one may ask? Apparently they wound up agreeing. The bad ass chick in Thor Ragnarok lobbied for a lesbian scene but got a thumbs down.
I'm opposed to any gratuitous sex in movies made for families. Thats just me though.

I had that in the past as a make good during a bad experience truing to see Tron Legacy. They gave my brother and myself a free D-Box ticket each. E-books is the same as 4DX. Honestly it took me out of the film.

A lot of the Disney renaissance animated movies had song lyrics from a gay man, Howard Ashman who actually died of AIDS related illness prior to Beauty and the Beast in 1991. He had some songs written for Aladdin prior to Tim Rice joining Alan Men Ken to replace Ashman. But I guess because that was behind the scenes, nobody cares...
As for Thor: Ragnarok, Tessa Thompson's character was in fact homosexual, though she wasn't shown in a gay scene.

Both attractive women. They don't look like each other, but that doesn't really matter.

Went to see this on Independence Day. Worst of the franchise. If I wasn't with someone I would have left halfway into it. The first Jurassic Park was great and the sequels are getting steadily worse. The problem with Hollywood is they have a hit so they milk it for all its worth with endless sequels and now even prequels. Enough already.
