Jurassic Park is far from the best mainstream blockbuster Spielberg film. Hell, War of the Worlds is better than Jurassic Park.Shut up
Jurassic Park is far from the best mainstream blockbuster Spielberg film. Hell, War of the Worlds is better than Jurassic Park.I watched Jurassic Park last night, along with Lord of the Rings: ROTK, Gladiator, The Matrix, and 5 minutes of Judge Dredd (it sucked so bad I had to turn the TV off).

The ONLY people who love JP are those who were young when it came out and got caught up in the mania. I was 7 or 8 when it came out and I knew even then Jaws, Indiana Jones, CE3K, & ET were far better.
No one can call Jurassic Park better than CE3K. It is one of the top films Spielberg EVER did. It was in that AFI Top 100 films of all time that you posted sir(#64)!The ONLY people who love JP are those who were young when it came out and got caught up in the mania.

ET is the most overrated movie of all time.
Indiana Jones>Jaws>Jurassic Park>*
And it looks like all the babes agree with me. I WIN
ET is a fuckin' turdI liked ET but Indiana Jones, Jaws, and CE3K are better.

How can you call JP better than CE3K? It's one of the most beloved "blockbuster" films Spielberg did and damn was it amazing.
Your AFI list states you never have seen it thoughNo one can call Jurassic Park better than CE3K. It is one of the top films Spielberg EVER did.

CE3K is almost more overrated than ET. Granted I haven't seen it since I was 10, but if I remember correctly it was extremely boring with a terrible ending that didn't warrant watching the movie.
You mean RAIDERS was better. Crusade as by-the-numbers family fare, and Temple of Doom is downright Uwe Boll-esque.
Jaws is pretty eh. Spielberg's the Steven King of directors -- his products are supremely accessible and likewise supremely predictable. THere's nothing of the auteur about him. I think Ridley Scott's the better and more challenging director, if we're talking prole-appeal.
Jurassic 5
There's nothing challenging in that list. In fact, they fall into two category: summer blockbusters, and preachy maudlin historical commentaries. His best moment id probably Saving Private Ryan, because it was shot in his typical style and DID have a big influence on the war epic.:lol :lol :lolQuoteJurassic 5
of all the Freudian slips, this one rules :lol
Alien still blows me away to this day -- it set the formula for the modern superthriller, and it holds up better than its many, many subsequent imitators.What is this frame skip you speak of?
However, I blame Ridley for introducing inferior directors to the frame-skip epic battle sequence with Gladiator. NOBODY has used it correctly since.
Hey, leave PD alone, his favorite movie is Forrest Gump after all. :lolWRONG
It's when they replay a battle sequence at 12 frames per second with high sepia saturation and post-processing -- it's supposed to make the battle look adrenalized and frenzied, and capture the sort of feeling a combatant gets where time seems to reduce itself to individual intense snapshots of action and confusion. It worked in Gladiator -- kinda. It hasn't worked since.
Yeh, if anything Batman Begins' action scenes were a little too "wtf is happening" for my tastes. :-\The Bourne Supremacy had the same bullshit. Ugh.
Gladiator rocks. Watched some of it last night. I'll never forget seeing it in the theaters.

And Cheebs, I guess I have to check out that director's cut of Kingdom of Heaven because the theatrical cut was pretty god-awful.I thought the theatrical KoH was shit. It really shows when depending on what day it is I would call the director's cut of it better than Gladiator.

The song is really damn catchy too. I want it in audio form. :lol
There's no plot in Godfather :lolYou liked that shit?
Please stop posting before you further embarrass yourself
The "Godfather Sucks" camp must be pretty lonely. Are you its only member? :lol...I'm going to give you a history lesson:

You said "love godfather, love the world!"
You get severely owned on this.
Many people tell you that the movie's worthless and that the book was originally called by critics (FUCKING WHAT?) trash and that when it was made into a movie critics considered it high art.
It is shit.
Spielberg, I believe, tries to make shit like this.

The Godfather is the perfect example of something that's trash as a book, but class as a movie. So is James Bond.
The first two Godfather movies are absolutely fucking epic. I'm not sure I can name any movies that feel as epic as the first two Godfather flicks. Not the LOTR movies. Not Star Wars.
Yeah, they're both as long as hell, but it's a worthwhile trip. Not to mention that no matter what you think of their quality all three (yes, all of them) Godfather flicks are required viewing if you're into Mafia-related drama.

Overall, the movies weren't that bad but my problem with them were that they were too overhyped. And the first Star Wars trilogy failed because it tried to put nostalgia into a sci-fi (really aweful idea) and LOTR just seemed like generic fantasy jizzfest.

Now you're backtracking. Originally you stated the acting sucked. Please stop trying to act different - you're embarrassing yourselfThat was about Jurassic Park, not godfather.
It might be kinda hard to appreciate The Godfather's story conventions since nearly everything from the first two movies has been aped and rehashed by so many shows and movies paying tribute and just plain ripping off.Yeah but I expected it to get the hype it did since it had a different take on what a crime movie should be like, then I saw it was just about how italian maufia's operate and how apparantly getting shot and being bugged by the FBI can make some people mad and therefore "interesting characters". I KNEW it was going to be something that was ripped off but I didn't watch it for that.
It's almost like trying to watch Rear Window, but being just about toally uninterested because you've seen the premised aped a zillion times.
am nintendolt has arguably worse taste than PD. :lol:lol
am nintendolt has arguably worse taste than PD. :lolIf you can not see how annoying it is to see PD type paragraphs late at night about how Jurassic Park is good then you are so far stuck up your own ass it is not even worth argueing.

And you were typing paragraphs last night about how bad Godfather sucks. Which is worse? :lol :lol :lolYeah I did that just to piss you off. Much more motivation.
The Godfather is awesome. :-*
And there is a bad mob movie, PD. It's called "The Godfather Part III." Holy fucking crap was it sucktastic.
I watched all 3 of them back to back and in comparison to the first two, it was fucking awful.
Forrest Gump is a great movie!! I love it. I think I cried when I saw it in theaters.I love Forrest Gump. One of my favorite movies ever.
Goddammit. I'm never going to watch the movie again. I loved it when I was little and you little fucks aren't going to ruin this for me.
Arguing with am nintendolt is like trying to carry on an intelligent conversation with your plastic wall hanging.Except he was also argueing with other people.
JUST DON'T DO IT... ;)
Actually I've always been biased against nintendo, some good games though. And yes, I made points for the Godfather, probably you're just a film making wannabe that feels being a bitch makes his opinion more important.
I'm done too. Anyone who says the Godfather sucks - especially for such an idiotic reason - doesn't deserve attention.Right the critics don't deserve attention when it comes to the book? The story wasn't much, acting was decent. Shouldn't be considered a great movie then.
Bu bu bu - but the book sucks! So the movie am stupid how is it I know dat cause I'm smart!You disliked Judge Dredd after five minutes you complete motherfucking idiot.

We're not discussing the book. Why can't you get that through your head? The script Puzo and Copalla turned in was brilliant. It's not the same as the book word for word, so please."so please" what the fuck?
Wait, what the fuck - is am nintenho saying Judge Dredd is better than The Godfather? Joke character total.
