Which is the one where the dinosaurs take over the cargo ship and crash it into all the people?
That's JP2.
And it's just one T-Rex.
The T-Rex sneaks into a family's backyard and eats a dog.
Oh yeah, the TRex somehow snuck into the human sized ship bridge and ate everything but the hand holding the wheel.
That was the one thing about the movie that I truly could not fathom an explanation for.
Like a bunch of the other dumb stuff could mostly be movie magic-ed away, but the idea that the rex could get out of the cargo hold, eat the dude on the bridge, then somehow got back in the cargo hold
I just can't get my head around it
Maybe someone assumed it was supposed to be raptors on the boat and it didn't noticed till way too late into editing.
Man, raptors on the mainland would've been super scary shit.

Look, JP1 has the cliff, JP2 has the boat. Fair's fair.

some dude on the ship saw the way the wind was blowing once that t-rex got loose and tried to curry favor by eating the captain himself

This from The Lost World: Jurrasic Park's IMDB page:
The script called for a scene where the Velociraptors got on board the Venture as it was about to set sail. As chaos ensued, the T-Rex also got loose, and killed everything else aboard. This explains why many of the crew members are dead in places the Rex cannot reach. The scene was never filmed.
What John Hammond and InGen did at Jurassic Park is create genetically engineered theme park monsters! Nothing more and nothing less.
But seriously @Mr. G, it's a top-tier monsters/horror/survival film that set the line in cinema for special effects (and still holds it against most films today). The characters are quirky & fun, the soundtrack is superb, the story is classically sound, and the film is solid all the way through.

I'm not sure ships can just start sailing from one port, then without a crew just happen to turn up at exactly the port they were originally going to without anyone controlling anything. It's not like the ports were in a straight line or anything and obviously the ship did not have a fancy computer since it crashed.
I think one of the least talked about parts of Jurassic Park is its intensity towards the children in it.
The kids in Jurassic World have a pretty rough time during that story.
But Tim & Lex have it so much worse.
Like holy shit, they are just getting shit on the whole time by terror & danger.
Which makes us root for them. Kids are continually in the shit, we worry about them getting through alright. Kids just kind of wander near danger, we wonder why they're so stupid.

JW spoilers, I guess
the T-rex is the original one from JP. now I can buy that a well-equipped force could show up at the island and subdue one, or even a few, t-rexes. they're pretty big and probably easy to track with thermal imaging.
but what about all the smaller ones? they knew at least some were breeding, so how do you capture an unknown, possibly large, quantity of raptors/spitters/compys/etc.?
short of burning the whole thing down, it seems like sending all your dudes into a deathtrap
and semi-related backstory wankery - the park has only been open for ten years in the movie. how could they have possibly hit a slump in visitors yet? let alone often enough to know "oh yeah, new dinosaur every 2 years or no one comes anymore"?

Jurassic Park's effects are so good that even its sequels suck compared to it.
Hell, most movies today WISH they could look as good as Jurassic Park.
Not counting the outdated Technology references...
But the one thing I liked in JP 2 was something they took from the actual book, and that was the scene with the tiny biting dinos. Except in the book...well, I won't spoil the book.
The book is really good you guys.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

Nah, I always hope kids in movies and shows get killed off just so I don't have to put up with their bullshit.
I haven't seen Jurassic World, but I'd rank Jurassic Park 2 higher, if only because of the time I saw it at school camp and was too scared to sleep in the forest.
By the way, Jurassic World doesn't retcon the previous films, it just largely ignores them.
Spoilers ahoy!
Control Room Guy has a copy of The Lost World by Dr. Ian Malcolm on his desk, and the way the raptors communicate with Indominus is based on a plot point in JP3.
Was it The Lost World book that had the bit where a pack of nocturnal raptors ambush Malcolm and his group and start dragging live folks off back to their nesting site, Aliens style?
I love that basically all the deaths in that film are cause by Julian Moore and Vince Vaughn's characters. Every single thing that went wrong can essentially be traced back to their rampant stupidity.
And yes the scene at the end with the eaten captain, here's a breakdown of how they edited it: http://youtu.be/4ZcPymyjUL0

Hey, you know what Jurassic Park: the Lost World gave us?
It's funny watchmen is one of those things where they just copied the dialogue from the comic word for word in some instances, without any consideration to how it would sound being spoken and acted. Like shave some of the cheese off of those lines and they'd sound great, and maybe avoid redundant responses to clearly rhetorical questions
Watchmen has some good performances, and it has some legitimately great scenes (the opening credits montage is tremendous), but it mostly doesn't hang together as a film. It probably wasn't ever going to work great as a film, though.
Oh well, I'm a bit of a fan of the old ultraviolence. It didn't bother me. I can't even remember the last line, I think only remember the good bits. And the sex scene. Which was so bad it's good (intentionally, I think).
The bits the movie changed were pretty good. The bits the movie didn't were hit or miss.
The bits they changed were good?
Like the part where an american Super-Weapon appears to blow up an American City and so the soviets decide to end the war against America?
This has been talked about to death before but...
I like the movie's ending. The comic only blows up New York, the movie blows up several cities all over the globe. It makes it much more believable that the world would then band together. Whereas if there is no psychic infodump and it is just New York getting blown up then the Soviets aren't going to save the Americans out of anything except pity and one-up-manship.
And "Dr. Manhattan" doing the deed is just much more efficient from a scriptwriter's perspective. The squid works better* in the comic where you can read it at your leisure and take all the details in.

So it's like Jurassic World then?
I kid, I kid.
no because i enjoyed reading the book
Nah, I always hope kids in movies and shows get killed off just so I don't have to put up with their bullshit.
The more I think about it, the more I want to rank the Lost World in front of Jurassic World.
Jurassic World is generally more fun, but in every other respect it's not as good as Lost World.

A pretty kickass song for when raptors attack.
he's dead, man
Seemed to me like they were just eating them in the movie.

It came true! You're lookin' at it!
Ehhh. I wasn't a fan of the movie's approach to violence. Also giving the final line to Laurie was really weird.
Holy shit, this song is fuckin' proto Duel of the Fates. Start it at 1:10 and listen to it and tell me it ain't so.
