Honestly, no. The original wasn't all that good. I somewhat enjoyed the third film, but not enough to get excited about this.

Pratt is really good at playing a laid-back, freewheeling, down-to-earth-yet-roguish character whose heart winds up being in the right place (which is why he'll make an excellent Indiana Jones, should he go that route, surpassing and supplanting Shea LeBouef) and I could watch Ms. Howard all day long but I probably won't go see this, either. I didn't see 2 or 3 and I don't feel I missed anything.
I'm really not into dinosaurs all that much.

I stood in a que for hours on the release day of Jurrasic Park and I loved it. The film was pretty good as well . I'll definitely see this one - but at home rather than in the cinema. I'm getting too crotchety and grumpy to sit surrounded by popcorn munching kids on their mobiles and chatting to their mates; I like my audiences frozen in slack-jawed amazement at what they are witnessing - and that's a rare thing to happen these days.
The truth is a Lion and does not need protection. Once free it will look after itself.

I'll be seeing it... I mean, it's open season for a bunch of dinosaurs! OPEN...SEASON... my inner eight-year old is squealing with glee!

I know there's supposed to be some sort of dinasaur-whisperer thing going on. But my impression of that particular clip was that the velociraptors were fleeing whatever Star-Lord was fleeing. (Reminiscent of the "they're flocking this way" scene in JP1.) I'm probably totally wrong, but that's the impression I have.I'm Murrin wrote:what with Chris Pratt on a motorbike leading a pack of friendly velociraptors and all

The way the trailer sets it up doesn't seem like they're running away. It has the bit about them doing it "my way", the bike and a truck lining up, a shot of them releasing the raptors from a line of cages, the bike and truck going through the jungle, then the bike along with the raptors (and Pratt doesn't look like he's fleeing anything there).

It could end up being pretty silly, but we have to include the raptors in a Jurassic Park film, and this is at least a new approach... and should at least be better than how they were used in Jurassic Park 3.I'm Murrin wrote:The way the trailer sets it up doesn't seem like they're running away.

It also makes some sense that if raptors are pretty intelligent, they can be trained as well.
I will say this: I think it's a good idea to get people use to these silly ideas before they watch the film.
