Wacky things I noticed...

- First of all, let's get this out of the way:
Jack Reed = Alan Grant (cares about the kid, the "leader")
McQuade = Hammond/Gennero (evil capitalist human antagonist)
Monk = Ian Malcolm (right down to the goddamn hair!)
Jesse = Lex & Tim (knows the computers, a kid)
Sarah = Ellie Sattler
Kahane = Muldoon
Moses = Arnold (black computer guy, gets eaten in goriest way possible due to blackness)

- The whole team wore lightning symbols eerily remenescent of Hitler's SS.

- The embarassing "Apocalypse Now" homage - they're playing Ride of the Valkyries in the helicopter.

- For some reason, the dinosaurs don't see in Dinovision anymore; they see in clear color.

- Not a SINGLE PERSON is eaten. They're always dismembered or flung around at tables. Never devoured.

- Noting the previous point, being torn to pieces by dinosaurs doesn't hurt that much.

- Rubber helicopters always explode.

- The guy who gets his head bitten off by the "Tyrannosaururs" just happens to be black.

- The Alien similarities have already been done.

- The dinos appear to move at lightning speed when you see through their eyes. When you see them fully, they move about as fast as an 90-year old tortise.

- A man can survive a 200 foot fall (and know exactly what bones he broke) but a SEVEN TON DINOSAUR cannot, even with muscles the size of Volkswagens.

- A kid (Jesse) knows his way around a place he has no business being, but an adult who actally works there (McQuaid) is clueless where to go.

- A "raptor" snatches a girl from the top of the elevator, and throws her into some pipes (or whatever). How the hell did the dinosaur get out of the elevator shaft (or get INTO, for that matter)?

- This movie sucks in every possible way known to man, yet is still superior to it's predecessor.

He's right, I saw this movie when I has about 6 and I remember it being complete *beep* to me then too.

I agree with everything but the last one. I still liked the first better.

Great movie though.

Great way to look at things, dude. Awesome analysis...

"Moses = Arnold (black computer guy, gets eaten in goriest way possible due to blackness)" - Also being black equals being tough enough (or clicheed machismo enough?) to challenge the dinosaur to a boxing match

The most brilliant scene was McQuaid going down to stop Reed and Monk from blowing up the place and the Vasquez Light chick (forgot her name) watches him storming out of the room and then grabs the radio and goes: "Reed, Monk...McQuaid is coming down to stop you. I tried everything to stop him, but to no avail."

"- The dinos appear to move at lightning speed when you see through their eyes. When you see them fully, they move about as fast as an 90-year old tortise."

Hell yeah. The T.Rex even looked like it danced when they were showing its feet (an attempt of recreating the Jurassic Park Rex-foot moment I assume). The legs were swinging and the upper body shots made it look like it was straight out of Michael Jackson´s thriller video.

"This movie sucks in every possible way known to man, yet is still superior to it's predecessor."

It totally does.
Your post sure would get a higher rating than this film here. Though...that´s not really that much of compliment I just made.*shame*

It was horrible, yes.
But I still liked it
