Scrofulous Fig-Merchant
Quite simply, what did you think of it? Are there any other dinosaur movies other than JP and King Kong, and so on. I'm asking because it recieves a lot of criticism when I go into other forums, even though the effects hold up after thirty-something years and it's absolutely beautiful and very captivating. The fight with the carnosaur in the camp of the Shell tribe goes down as one of my favourite cinema moments ever. (The other favourite moment is when some guy in a skin-raft is fighting a Kronosaur with nothing but a spear and bow on the open ocean, but they haven't actually filmed that yet so I can't count it).
Anyway, the main reasons I liked the film were the brilliant special effects and cinematography, the sheer melodrama and pulp romanticism of it, and the way it makes the human problems look as significant as one fig amongst many other figs in a large forest bereft of life to eat said figs.
So, opinions?
