A decent ride, but filled with too many stupid people behaving stupidly

Rating: 5/10 (6 February 2013)

A decently fun adventure ride, but other than the character played by Jeff Goldblum and a couple others, this film is filled with some the stupidest supposed "scientists, "business people," and "hunters" ever to walk the earth. Obviously, a film about dinosaurs requires a massive suspension of disbelief, but that doesn't mean most of the characters should be completely incompetent imbeciles. With countless billions of dollars at stake, InGen sends ONE intelligent guy, Pete Postlethwaite's character, but sends him with dozens of incompetent, mindless fools for support? And Julianne Moore's main character? WORST. SCIENTIST. EVER. She spends half the film annoyingly preaching about not interfering with nature, yet the other half interfering in the most obvious and worst possible ways. She professes to be an expert at tracking and avoiding predators, yet does everything possible to make sure the predators know exactly where she is? Ugh -- her character is truly cringe-inducing.
So, while the movie is kind of fun, it's only fun if you turn off your brain. A late-night or ugly- weather film. 5/10.
