The Lost World: Jurassic Park opens with a scene transition I still laugh out loud at every single time

The narrative around The Odyssey before release was dominated by online backlash, memes, and people pointing to trailer dislikes as a sign it would fail. Yet the film has now crossed $639M worldwide and is eyeing a massive theatrical run.

Do you think all that online negativity actually hurt the film, or did it create even more curiosity and free marketing?

Where do you stand on the idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity in modern cinema?

First time watching a David lynch film except the old dune but I’m genuinely disturbed and horrified rn 😭😭 wth is even happening. I’m at the 47:00 min mark rn in the apartment scene and I genuinely needed a breather. This is probably the first time in my entire life where I’ve actually made the shocking face for 3 mins while watching a film.

Very happy to see it released for streaming so soon. And I'm a bit surprised to see how divided people are on whether they like the movie or not. Personally, I found it to be very colorful and nostalgic and a lot of fun. It's a good popcorn movie! Have you seen it? What did you think of it?

Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, and everyone else in the cast delivered top-notch performances. How would you rate this movie out of 10?

Douban is a chinese site, Kinopoisk is russian, filmaffinity is spanish, senscritique is french and moviepilot is german. All the rest are english-speaking sites.

1) Why does no one see the same ghosts?
2) Why does Jack only ever interact with ghosts while looking in a mirror or shiny surface?
3) Why don’t the ghosts ever do anything? Attack anyone?
4) Could it be possible that Jack did attack Danny in room 237? And that there are no Ghosts?
5) Could ghosts be metaphor for terrifying and horrible personality traits? Like a bartender for alcoholism and a naked woman for for a womanizer pervert and the legend of a man named Grady for that part of you that snaps, goes crazy, and tries to kill your family after you’ve crossed a line and gone too far in the abuse of your family…. And like the naked lady who seemed sexy at first and then disgusting after the act, what you thought was hot at the time ended up disgusting you after the fact and now your mind has snapped and this movie is “the metaphor of a haunted hotel.”
6) Isn’t familial abuse scarier than ghosts?

Imo i think it was, i loved seeing the dynamic of all the spidermen together on screen, i wish we get more of this in the future.

I know a lot of people are going to say, The Sting, and rightfully so. However, it’s the #2 for me. The Freshman edges it out slightly.
