I... don't think I can bring myself to go... the concept of Dinosaurs existing... 100,000 years ago... surviving for the 65 million they'd been gone... just messes with my head.

Because escapist fiction requires logic evidently.

Ill watch it. Cartoons are fun.

I liked the first two. The humor was more  mature than I thought it would be, I haven't seen this one yet though.

Those are often VERY boring. XD

I personally think that with this story, it's just going to not be that great, but I'll try to find a way to watch it anyways.

No, it's not that. I mean, I'm not sure what you mean about 'True Story' but if you mean non-fiction, no I watch a lot of fiction. That's not the reason. I'm a bit of a history buff sometimes, and I like things to at least make some logical sense when they take place on earth.

I dunno, I loved the first 2, this one looks worse than Shrek 3 was...

Couldn't they think of a more original character than Scrat with eyelashes?

No. Originality doesn't exist anymore. Hell, this whole series seems like The Land Before Time Next: The Funny Edition With A Need For Jackets And A Shorter Subtitle*.

*Note that I have not actually seen any of the Ice Age films, and am making what is possibly a total BS argument out of what I've seen in trailers for the films.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Only difference is that one is trying to be funny, whereas the other was trying to teach you something. Oh, and one had dinosaurs as main characters, but Ice Age had mammals. But I haven't seen this one, so I am not sure if any dinos become main characters, or not.

The concept from Ice Age 3 sounds like a bad mix of Land of the Lost and... Ice Age.  Ergo, it makes no friggin' sense.

I actualy liked Land of the Lost. I love the idea of a super smart T-Rex. Plus it was funny as heck. Makes you wonder if they'll do the same in Jurassic Park four. By the way when the heck is that coming out.

I never knew there were books and they came first...

Never, I hope.

The first one was great. Second one was pretty cool. Third one, not that good.
I loved the books, enjoyed the movies, but now Michael Crichton is death and there are no more books for them to make movies of. So if they ever make another movie, it wont be really fun.

Wow that's the first time I ever saw anyone agree with me that 3 was bad. Although I hope they do make another one becuase I love the movies. I've never read the books, are they enjoyable? Or are they like Tolkien's works (simple as a move, but very hard to read as a book)?

Thats a little harsh, I loved the movies but I loved the books far more. Tolkien is just very very in-depth inside of his world and has a backstory for everything. Though that said the first book was really the only one that was slightly hard to read.

No saying JP3 was a trainwreck is harsh. I mena it had it's moments, but it was darn short. The Spinosaurus was the only real cool thing about it.

I have only read the first and second ones, and they are okay to read. Not too easy, but not hard either.

I'll have to try them. I need something to make not want to hurt the current writers of the new Star Wars books for nearly ruining the series.

Jurassic Park 3 was bad because there was no novel...

The first movie was relatively close to the book, the second was nowhere near the movie. Mind you, Crichton had no intentions to write a sequel, the movie company paid him to.

I only ever saw the first Jurassic Park.

I wish I had it on DVD or something.

I've only read one book by Michael Crichton, and it was Prey. That was a cool book. Where's the movie for that one?

I read "Next," because I desperately needed some reading material and it was lying around. It was.....kind of interesting, although one part made me snicker. The book mentions in a single page a "Mick Crowley," a journalist who's on trial for raping a baby, and mentions he has a "small penis." This is obviously a jab at Michael Crowley, a journalist who criticized Crichton's stance on global warming. Crichton went out with class.

Crichton has two books I didn't really care for: Congo, and Sphere.  Disclosure, for whatever reason, I really liked, along with JP, Rising Sun, and The Da Vinci Code.  He's a pretty good writer, I guess.  However, Hollywoodland needs to stop and think the next time they make a motion picture based on a book.  BAD THINGS HAPPEN WITH RUSH MOVIE JOBS.

...Crichton didn't write The Da Vinci Code.
That's Dan Browns work.

And Dan Brown's not a good writer.
