13 Dumb Decisions In Jurassic Park Movies We Can't Forgive
1. The Talking Velociraptor - Jurassic Park III
If time travel existed, someone should go back to the year 2000 and peer into the pitch meeting when this idea was being bounced around and see which "genius" thought it would sensible and not ridiculous to have talking dinosaurs.
How was this accepted? Was someone being blackmailed?
In the context of the film, Jurassic Park hero Alan Grant is flying back to the islands he escaped from two films prior, but it's clear he's still suffering some form of PTSD from the experience. While on the plane, Alan comes face to face with his ultimate nemesis; a Velociraptor, and wakes just in time to realize it was all a dream.
That in itself could be scary, but the fact that someone thought it would be a good idea to make the Raptor not only sit in the plane like a fellow passenger, but to make the creature's jaw flick up and down and utter Alan's name; is both mind blowing and awful.
The scene would have been effective if the Raptor started tearing other passengers apart, and THEN Alan woke up. But instead, the creators went for the dumbest idea, and JP3 will forever be known as the film with the talking Velociraptor.
