Yeah, I don't get the hate for the film. The insects were interesting and the dino scenes were great. All of my old dinosaur books from when I was a kid had the insects, too. And didn't the movies start with an insect in amber?

There is this weird dichotomy often coming from the same people where they both want something new (and complain that nothing is new) but then also want exact retreads of things they loved from the past.

[(Anonymous)]

And didn't the movies start with an insect in amber?

Yeah, that was literally a recurring theme. Hammond had that walking stick that had the insect in amber as the decoration.

[(Anonymous)]

Also now that I think harder about it, didn't they originally clone the dinosaurs from DNA that they extracted from mosquitoes preserved in amber?

[(Anonymous)]

I didn’t get to see this in theaters but the secret reminded to check JustWatch and hooray it’s on Prime! The insects make sense to me, as already mentioned the whole thing is only possible because of a mosquito trapped in amber that had fed on a dinosaur. And from a geologic standpoint it’s weird that we haven’t seen more about insects in the movies (although of the originals I only saw 1 and 2).

[(Anonymous)]

Huh, I might finally catch it if it is on Prime.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I thought it was bad, but that wasn't because of the insects. It didn't seem like the movie understood its characters. It sometimes seemed like the actors had just gotten the lines for the first time. The tension was all over the place. The plot had some really convenient coincidences that I just had a hard time buying.

OP

And that all makes sense. I'm not saying everyone has to like. But ridiculous criticisms that are massively exaggerated or not remotely accurate isn't the way to write an official review.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Fair enough. I do agree that if people want their reviews to be taken seriously, those reviews should be based on the reality of whatever they're reviewing and not some hyperbolic caricature of it.

That said, I do know that sometimes something in a movie can loom much larger in your mind than how it was actually presented on screen and that, along with expectation versus reality, could probably persuade someone that their distorted perception is pretty close to what really happened. It's not accurate and it isn't fair, but it is maybe understandable. Of course, I'm only talking about those not doing it deliberately in order to get clicks or stir things up.
