T-Rex attack in JP1. (Don't know why the video says JP3) Runner up but it's just way to short. T-Rex vs Spino in JP3    Posted:   Jun 27, 2015 - 7:50 PM     By:   Christopher Kinsinger   (Member) I haven't seen the newest entry yet. So, until I do, my favorite moments in the first three were EVERY scene featuring Jeff Goldblum in the first film. I think he's an amazing actor. He convinces me that the lines he recites are being thought the moment he speaks them.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2015 - 7:55 PM     By:   Mr. Jack   (Member) The Rex bellowing in triumph at the end of the original as the "WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH" banner flutters down in the foreground and Williams' score swells. Goosebumps, even to this day.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2015 - 9:05 PM     By:   mastadge   (Member) Two-margarita man.    Posted:   Jun 27, 2015 - 10:30 PM     By:   Sigerson Holmes   (Member) "Lost World," when a T-Rex loose in San Diego eats screenwriter David Koepp (billed as "Unlucky Bastard" in the end credits). It just feels so good.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 4:26 AM     By:   Francis   (Member) That guy on the toilet in the first one.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 4:53 AM     By:   JohnnyG   (Member) Are you kidding me? NOTHING tops the awe and wonder of that first meeting with the creatures! "Welcome... to Jurassic Park!"    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 7:11 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) So many great moments, but in terms of action setpieces, it's hard to beat the trailer/cliff sequence in THE LOST WORLD, which IMO stands as one of the best action sequences in the history of film! Moreover, though, my favourite moments are those where not a lot of action is happening, but where we're just absorbing the mood of the place -- like the waiting outside the T-Rex area in the first film (BEFORE the action kicks in).    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 8:12 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) I'm gonna be honest. I saw JP 1 on one of those Thurs night preview things - it opened proper the next day - in Orlando back in June 93 and I was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong...it was pretty good, just nowhere near as good as the classic Spielberg I had grew up on (Jaws, CE3K, Raiders, Indy 2, ET, Empire of the Sun). It was the music and FX that stood out more for me. Anyway, the standout moments for me are Journey to the Island/Dino reveal sequence and the T-Rex night/rain attack. Outstanding moments among the more ordinary scenes    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 8:18 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Underwhelmed? You're weird.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 8:44 AM     By:   Adam.   (Member) Several mini-moments within the T-rex attack scene. Her first appearance breaking through the paddock fence... Ian Malcolm bravely leading her away from the children... T-rex literally coming face to face with Grant and Lex. I wish this had been drawn out a few more seconds for some real suspense. Perhaps having T-rex open her mouth and growl with some meat hanging off her teeth from the lawyer she just chewed on. That may have pushed the film into R rating territory but I would have loved to have seen it.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 10:07 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) I'm gonna be honest.

Outstanding moments among the more ordinary scenes I never thought it was a "good" story or script. Besides the advancement in SFX's, it had it's stand out Spielberg moments and of course JW iconic score. The T-Rex and Raptors in the Kitchen sequences are what movies are all about. But over all it was a weak effort.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 11:25 AM     By:   JohnnyG   (Member) I'm gonna be honest.

If you've already seen Raiders, CE3K and ET, well, JP seems a weak effort indeed...    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 11:59 AM     By:   henry   (Member) I have always thought JP deserves more credit than it gets. Maybe I'm an easy critic, I enjoy more movies which I think is a good thing.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 2:19 PM     By:   Mike_J   (Member) Love the first reveal of the dinosaur in the first movie. Grant's reactions are just priceless. Haven't seen Jurassic World yet, seeing it on IMAX on Wednesday and really looking forward to it.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 2:37 PM     By:   Justin Boggan   (Member) AS unrealistic and kind of cheesey as the scene was, I like in the second film where what's his name is swinging the truck side-to-side to try and drag up the trailer over the cliff and suddenly two T-Rex's emerge from the woods, swinging their tails kind of like a cat that's found a new toy to play with and eat. Face it: if your cat was that bigt and you were that small, your cat would eat you. And of course the percussion music by Williams drives it. Or how about the raptor head slowly emerging and what's his name saying, "You clever girl..." Or the raptor trails in the grassy brush approaching the running humans in the second film. You knew then it was going to be bad.    Posted:   Jun 28, 2015 - 3:13 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) I have always thought JP deserves more credit than it gets. Maybe I'm an easy critic, I enjoy more movies which I think is a good thing. Well, it's only like one of the most successful and celebrated movies of all time, so it gets plenty of credit. But I do agree that it has certain underrated aspects. It's more than just a fun ride, it's extremely elegant in the way it flows from action setpiece to character drama to mood settings and back again. This experience-oriented aspect of the film (where the world envelops you on a visceral level) is quite underrated. For me, it's always been among my 3-4 favourite movies of all time.    Posted:   Jun 29, 2015 - 11:26 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Of course, all films come at us at certain ages, so I imagine for many people younger than myself, JP would kinda be/feel like what JAWS or CE3K or RAIDERS did for me when I was in my teens/20's. We get older and newer things thrill us less, or feel more generic or lacking in that certain pizzazz that our establishing films did to us! Oh...and you kids get outta my yard!!!    Posted:   Jun 29, 2015 - 4:10 PM     By:   JohnnyG   (Member) Of course, all films come at us at certain ages, so I imagine for many people younger than myself, JP would kinda be/feel like what JAWS or CE3K or RAIDERS did for me when I was in my teens/20's.

Only thing is some movies that thrilled me in my teens I now find them not so special but RAIDERS or CE3K are still the masterpieces I thought they were back then. JP had some very good moments but overall IMHO is not top-tier Spielberg.     Non-Film Score Discussion: Favorite moment in the JURASSIC PARK series?    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
