| It's simply amazing how much money was spend on this movie. It was such
a formula sequel, with completely predictable plot elements, and no
surprises, that I nearly fell asleep watching it. Sure, the special
effects were great, with wonderful dinosaurs, but it was obvious that
it didn't really matter, as everyone and their uncle wanted to see it
the first weekend it came out anyway. It broke $100M on the fourth
day it was out, smashing all records. From a production point of view,
it's simply awe-inspiring, an amazing rate-of-return on everything. They
didn't really need to do any marketing though; that budget was completely
wasted. From the point of view of the individual watching the movie
though, I'd say that the movie was based on the video game, so if you're
looking for clues on how to advance to the next level, be sure to pay
close attention. |
