I saw this, and my immediate reaction was just...some degree of astonishment that it would get greenlit after how the last one did. And then looking up the box office numbers and numbly staring at how 'Fallen Kingdom' made an obscene amount of money (1.3 bililion worldwide on a 140 mil budget) for how absolutely atrocious it was as a film.
They...have dinosaurs again. Apparently they're cowboy-ing dinosaurs and performing Bourne/Bond/Mission-Impossible set-piece action chase scenes with them.
...
This feels so incredibly wrong. Especially when that last sentence is something I should squeak with excitement at. But...I just can't.
Sam Neil looks good for...*internet search*...Holy unholy-sized amounts of dinosaur shit, 75?
Sam Neil looks flipping amazing.

I don't know about this movie. I am sensing Fast and the Furious levels of stupid in the plot. Just like the last one was. What happened did all the Worlds Military Forces decide to retire or something. Because there is no way in hell the events in the Trailer should be happening.
Looks like the city scenes take place in Italy or something. Probably just following Italian military stereotypes.

Few thoughts:
1) There will be a lot of reuma. How will they escape raptors with broken hips? Looks like fanservice should end up as dino chow.
2) Cowboys hunting Parasaurolophuses. Parasaurolophoboys?
3) How did Blue get a baby?
4) Yeah, no. Dinos will not exterminate humanity. That is some dumb BS.
Overall, it looks like it will be a steaming pile of dino dung. And people will still watch it (myself included) cause raptors. And Rexy.

No, guns just aren't good enough to win against dinosaurs. Look at how Grant couldn't even kill one Raptor in the first movie, or those mercenaries were instantly gibbed without landing a single hit in Jurassic Park III. Ditto for every other gun from Muldoon to all those pitchfork-looking tazer-rifles.
The entire series makes much more sense if you presume it takes place in a parallel universe where firearms happen to have about 1/8th the accuracy, reliability, and firepower of our universe. Breeding up dinosaurs for the military, and mankind being generally helpless even when armed against something that isn't, all things considered, actually as dangerous as a bear, actually makes sense then.
In none of those movies did the humans actual shoot a Dinosaur save for the one Australian Hunter in Jurassic Park 2 and He only tranc darted it. We have never seen proper Military engage any of the Dinos' Not wannabe Merc idiots or Civilians with the same marksmanship as an Imperial Stormtrooper. And that Moasasur should have been Orca chow by now. Orcas in a 30 member Pod would murder that thing. And the Pterasaurs should be dying to Eagles, SuperHornets, Falcons, Raptors and Warthogs. I loved the first movie. The rest have been steaming piles of Dino shit.

The thing is, the humans tried. Their weapons just sucked too hard. Look at the damage to the window after Grant fires a twelve-gauge through it four times (going off the reports we hear on the phone with Hammond). Iit has... like, four holes that appear to be smaller than a .22 would do in our world. It also jams after four shots. This is the best a "Spared no expense" combat shotgun can do in JP and based on the holes, it must have been firing slugs or there would be more than three holes, so 12 gauge slugs in JP just plain have trouble punching through glass, much less raptors. A JP 12 gauge slug has less firepower than a .22 squirrel rifle in our world and is less reliable than a wheel-lock.
Or, maybe aging paleontologist Alan Grant somehow isn't an omni-skilled action hero and lacks skill with a shotgun?

So your argument is that if the user is less skilled, a 12 gauge shotgun slug round will only put a BB-sized hole through glass at a range of less than ten feet?
No, I meant the part about the shotgun jamming. That's actually a realistic outcome and the movie went out of its way to show a halfway ejected shell stuck in the ejection port when Grant drops the shotgun. Because the SPAS-12 is a hybrid semiautomatic /pump action shotgun, clearing such a jam is actually a bit tricky and requires knowledge of that specific shotgun's quirks.
The small holes I would consider an effects limitation.

Hmm, reasonable enough, yes I'd agree that Grant's inexperience is what kept him from clearing the jam, but the fact that it jammed at all after just 4 shots is the point of the exercise; that the guns do so little damage and jam so easily (and not just Grant though he's the most obvious, the mercenaries in JPIII couldn't manage to get their guns to work either) is what justifies my crack theory that dinosaurs are a threat to the military because all their guns are constantly jamming and their SPAS-12 has the firepower of our .22 varmint gun.
So yeah....not thrilled at this at all. There is absolutely no way Dinosaurs become a threat to humanities survival. None.
The moment the threat is confirmed every big game hunter and the Military get deployed with orders to exterminate the threat. The Dinosaurs go back on the extinction list in 48 hours. A week tops.

Even if they were "bullet proof" wouldn't blunt force trauma from being whacked with metal projectiles flying at hypersonic speeds just kill these things?
They'd be no more Bulletproof than Alligators and or Crockodiles.

Yeah, that's why I'm running on the theory that the dinosaurs aren't bulletproof, in JP bullets are just garbage.
Dude at the SLED gun range I have seen people miss a target at shorter ranges than that. Trust me you can indeed miss with even a shotgun if you are a lousy shot to begin with. And Semi Auto Shotguns have issues with some brands of ammo.

Do you see a single word about missing in the quote you made? We get enough completely-irrelevant-to-the-discussion-anecdotes from Bintinath. Nobody said anything about Grant missing, the problem is that Grant hit, and the slugs only did this:

are you sure they weren't loaded with buckshot?
