OK, I saw Dinosaur on Saturday. I will say the FX were better than I expected. I'd give the FX an 8.5 (though the Carnotosaurs deserved a 9.5, even though their size was greatly exaggerated). I give the movie however a 6, so that balances out to about a 7 or so. The story was a recycled heap of The Land Before Time, The Lion King, and it even had some shots ripped right out of JP, like the footprint in the mud and the tremors from the baddy making ripples in it. I still don't know what the point was of investing $200 million into a dinosaur movie... WITH talking dinosaurs.

hmmm...7/10. your are right, it was good but not great. You could definetly tell it was Disney with the themes of team work. 2 things bothered me. One, it was VERY short. A little over half of what a normal movie's running time is. An hour and ten minutes if im right. Number two, all the little kids called the Carnotaurus' T-Rexes!!!!!!(It really bothered me) Over all it was a good movie.

Singing dinosaurs would be precious.

I will be seeing this tomorrow. I will be honest though, the previews have been good. The movie looks good. Just not great. And I am talking about the visuals. I'd say the dinos from the previews look about 80% as good as the JP dinos, which is still pretty good, just not photo-realistic like a lot of people are proclaiming. The colors kind of give them a cutesy Disney feel, and on the same note they are a bit cartoony in texture. And not once review yet has liked the idea of having voices in this, something I detested from the beginning. You spend $127 million on a movie, $77 million on an FX house for it. And then you go back in time to the Mesozoic. Sounds good. Oh, but let's put modern day English speaking dinos in there with themes of teamwork! Anyone else think that it's kinda pointless to go so far and then take a wrecking ball to the whole concept of what's cool about going back in time to the age of the dinos? This sounds like The Land Before Time (which wasn't Disney but Universal/ Spielberg/ Lucas) except with improved (but not perfect) animation.
