Part of the problem with the original Poseidon Adventure was that the character developement didn't work, and whenever they tried to develope a character it got really boring. Not that the original movie was bad; its character developement moments were just not one of its strongpoints. I thought that Poseidon, while having its own cheesy and unbelievable parts, was just as good, in a different way.
I'd give it a 7 out of 10.

I saw Poseidon too. It was pretty much how I figured it was going to be. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either.

I saw Poseidon, yes. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

And even though all three qualified in several genres of film (some more than others) such as action and adventure, all three were science fiction films.

"pack raptor, you are WRONG. Jurassic Park was NOT a popcorn flick."
Just about every film that has a mass-marketed release between May and August is a popcorn flick. To make things clear, a popcorn flick is basically a studio-backed mainstream film marketed at teenagers and young adults. If Jurassic Park is not a popcorn flick, then I don't know what is. If it wasn't a popcorn flick, then why would it be released in the blockbuster season? Now, I'm not saying it is a shallow film because it serves mainly as entertainment, but it is what it is; a big-budgeted special effects extravaganza.

Don't kid yourself. Yes, Jurassic Park was a science fiction film. But science-fiction is basically a fancy word for fantasy-adventure. The science was merely a tool to help give the story more credibility. The true magic of Jurassic Park was the spectacle of seeing dinosaurs which looked completely realistic.

pack raptor, you are WRONG. Jurassic Park was NOT a popcorn flick. It was a damned good science fiction film. TLW was still to a point, but strayed a bit more from that, and JP3 I think was nowhere near a science fiction film.
To me, it's like the Alien series. Alien was a very slow, science fiction film. Aliens was more of an action film but still along the lines of sci-fi, and strayed from its roots with 3 and Resurrection.
To me, I see the JP series doing the same thing...and the magic behind JP was that it was SCIENCE-FICTION, not a popcorn flick.

but yet im really worried about jurassic park IV not reaching the 100 million number (domestic)
i feel they are going to fuck with it

I find it ironic that so many people keep repeating the phrase "They better not make this into a popcorn flick." But, Jurassic Park is a popcorn flick. Of course, it does have an underlying message that man should not interfere with nature. However, it is still a fantasy-adventure film. And why would a studio make an expensive fantasy-adventure flick if they thought it wasn't going to sell alot of popcorn?

Yeah I agree, I didn't mean they should change them when I said they should do something new with the dinosaurs. I meant there should be more to their senes than just a variety of carnivores chasing people around.

EXACTLY, raptor. It's fine to reveal species to the audience that perhaps JP and crew kept under tight wraps, but to give them a redesign like a car (as we gather more information on these species currently) is stupid. Although the science not realistic entirely, JP was amazing because it was something that we could actually SEE happening (as far-fetched as it is).
Don't stray from that notion, keep it interesting, and don't just make a pop-corn flick.
At 6:11:11 AM on 5/5/2006, Jaab said:
Well the Spino wasn't on InGen's list either so there could be more species we don't know about. I wouldn't have a problem with some new great species. I don't want to see another JPIII though.
At 12:18:47 AM on 5/5/2006, raptor2000 said:
But JP3 is also a good example of how changing the dinosaurs they already have doesn't help either. For example, the raptors. I'm glad they didn't bring in a new dinosaur to take their place (as I wish they hadn't with the Trex) but they changed them to a point that they might as well have. They changed the way they looked, acted, etc. I agree they shouldn't bring in any new species since it's already been pretty well established they types of dinosaurs they bred, but at the same time they shouldn't try to change the types they already have either. Just leave the dinosaurs the way they are...make the story unique.

I'm begining to dread the release of this movie. I don't want to see another disaster like JP3, sure I enjoyed it the first time, but that was because I was practicaly shiting myself out of anticipation.
I don't think there should be any new dinosaurs in JP4, that would kinda suck actually (excluding dino's we know exist on the islands but have never actually seen)! They should just do cool new things with the dinosaurs that we already have (and no that doesn't mean give them guns). How many damn dinosaurs did they originaly make anyways! We already have too many species. I want to be scared too! I want to feel that "Oh shit we're going to die" helplessness that you would have if you were actually being attacked/chased by a T-rex or a pack of Velociraptors. I don't want the dinos to be cuddly, I don't want them to be monsters, and I sure as hell don't want a damn popcorn movie! New dinos don't necessarily make a good dino movie (JP3 perfect example).

Or because they simply don't have a script. Frank Marshall lied about it once, he could have done it before.

my idea of a good but predictable script..
pteranodons (?) attack the city and they send a group of people to NUBLAR to investigate. this time much more science and news about ingen

the only reason they keep goin back on the script is because JP3 was so horrible they have to regain the faith of fans and show us they aren't slacking on making the JP series

That's just what they call that series of movies they are showing on Saturday nights...it doesn't mean they think all of the movies they are showing are actually classics...in fact, most of them aren't.
At 9:25:05 PM on 4/24/2006, JSSeaDub06 said:
I agree BigM..i remember even hearing of acquatic scenes, that would add something new and the motorcylce scenes with the raptors..
AND Darthraptor: i was referring to the commercial on TNT, Saturday night..They said "Watch the "New Saturday Night Classic" Jurassic Park III next..

We need a good story,good cast and lots of dino's!! Fights between dino's (like JPIII Spiny vs T-Rex agian witha winning Spino!!)are even welkom!! And the new found Giant (Carnivor?) dino in Argentinia can perhaps also play in the movie!!
At 3:33:56 PM on 4/23/2006, darthraptor52 said:
Hey JSSeaDub06...I dont quite understand that 'classic' comment, who is THEY exactly and how did they dub it a classic?
Also- Marshall keeps changing what he's saying. He has no clue as the whole project is in limbo. From this latest news however, it also sounds like it's going to completly; suck.

Honestly guys, this might be the only official news we've had in awhile but just of note..i was watching Jurassic Park III tonight on TNT, back to back..and they labeled it as a new "Classic"...pretty impressive despite the mediocre success..

maybe his dream is to make a mix of sucess like a new titanic with the park inside and a special kameo with billy zane as the captain or something like that

Planet Of The Apes was originally going to have a Baby Chimp/Human hybrid. Hopefully, nobody's gotten any crazy ideas for dino/human children. I just can't trust this guy anymore.

I'm almost to the point where I'm just not going to believe what Frank Marshall says any more because he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about.
At first he says they have a great script ready and that they will start on the movie soon...now he says they haven't even started on the script, and the only thing he tells us about the movie is that "it will have quirky characters." Joy. Maybe they should put the JP franchise to rest if each new sequel is just going to suck more than the previous one...because the last thing we need is Brokeback Mountain 2: Manlove in Jurassic Park.

But I do agree that JPIV should probably be canned. It may be a no-brainer franchise, but to me they kill it with every iteration.
