I completely agree with you for the Pteranodon scene Omega Zilla!
It was the scene that caught me during the entire movie because it built atmosphere progressively and did not rush into the action too quick.
The rest of the movie was an average mediocre flick with a big budget and they had many possibilities to go on.
Yet they simply choose to brought some hero back to an unknown island to them that we do know (So a Unknown Known?
) without real coherence and the army at the very end ruined the thing for me:
I mean, why didn't they go on the island in the first place to rescue the first group but do go later to rescue the second group?
Anyway, locations were déjà vu and felt uninspired this time compared to JP2.
The fact there weren't many scenes at night also killed the god damn movie for me.
Last thing, ALMOST everytime we see a dino on the screen in this movie... it's because he wants to kill the humans and by that way I mean... where the **** went the thing... the magic that made Jurassic Park what it was.
I want to be impress about dinosaur. I don't want to see them act like every monster movie chasing human but I want to see their behaviour, their era / world , their awesomeness and not their teeth.
