== Redundant comparisons == | |||
== The Rumored Plot Section == | |||
First time user, so forgive me if I'm out of line bringing this up, but I see several issues in the Rumored Plot Section. | |||
I'm seeing the name of the movie styled as JURASSIC PARK 4, in all caps. I don't know why this would be, I've never seen anything else like that on Misplaced Pages. | |||
Also, several sections here have been directly quoted, which isn't indicated by quotations. This also concerns me as this area, particularly the "(Yet,Anyway)" reads extremely wrong based on everything else I've read on Misplaced Pages. | |||
I don't know if this matters, but the section also mentions a piece of concept art, which if you follow the only source link available, clearly states "Not original Artwork." I don't know if that's acceptable or not, but I can't imagine so. I'm trying to get into wiki's policies on article writing and what's not acceptable, so still haven't found any of the rules that apply directly here, but I'll update if/when I can locate those. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 05:01, 29 June 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||

== Delete this until in production (] if anyone cares about policy) == | |||
Titling the article "Development of Jurassic World" is just an evasion of ]. | |||
90% of this article is contradictory "rumours". | |||
Look at the absurdly titled section "2013: Conclusive confirmation of production details". It's not just "confirmed" (though as usual, "confirmed" just means "I read it somewhere" and then it didn't happen), it's "conclusive". Wow. "Conclusive". That means it's really, really, really going to happen this year. Or next year. Or the year after.... Begins with "scheduled for release on June 13, 2014." Ends with "would be released on June 12, 2015". And "production crews were aiming to start filming on June 24, 2013". All complete fantasy and wish fulfilment and never happened. | |||
This article should be merged and cut to a paragraph in the franchise page ]. Now it's just an article that violates policy, nothing but gossip and speculation years before the film comes out. ] (]) 03:25, 27 September 2013 (UTC) | |||

:::::: Don't "sigh" at me as If I'm too stupid to get it. I know what it is, and what you want to do. The problem is that it is an article about a film, (no matter what you title it) that has not started principal photography. A category of article that is specifically excluded by ]. Even aside from that, it's troubling because the whole thing is sourced from press releases from people trying to make the film. These are leapt on and cited as "confirming" the film is being made, that this person or that is going to work on it, even when a few months later these are contradicted by the next round of bumpf. The current round of rumours is naively titled "2013: Conclusive confirmation of production details"!!? Come on. What makes this year's rumours more real than any others? They have contradicted themselves already ("scheduled for release on June 13, 2014."; "released on June 12, 2015.") There is nothing but hot air while it spins its wheels, as it has for 12 years and counting. There is no critical examination of what is really going on -- something that WP editors can't do, as that would be ]; so if you delete the hot air, as you should, you are left with nothing, which is why the article should be deleted.

==Scified== | |||
This appears to be an umbrella site for fan-created web sites, which would make its page Jurassicworld-movie.com unusable as a reference site since it's a) user-generated content and b) a fan site. Also, it's a self-described marketing site to promote the movie: "Scified creates customized, tailored websites for fans of popular science fiction film franchises. We offer unique environments where fans can interact with one another and discuss their favorite sci-fi movies. Scified also acts as a valuable marketing engine ... Scified puts the power of marketing in the hands of the fans. | |||
This item about the start date was "according to a tweet made by Kauaimovieguy," Try using that as a citation on even a college paper, let alone an encyclopedia entry. Kauaimovieguy, per his Twitter page, is Bob Jasper, who is not a journalist or involved with the film or in the movie business at all — he gives tours of the defucnt resort where was Elvis Presley's '']'' was filmed. That doesn't make him a published authority on Hawaii filming. Where did Bob get his information on the ''Jurassic World'' start date? Who knows? It's just some guy tweeting a rumor. | |||
This site does not include any original news, but simply aggregates things it finds on the 'net — and clearly, it's not very discriminating in choosing content to pass off as fact. --] (]) 14:56, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
==Tags== | |||
The above helps bring up the point that many of the cites in this thing are not reliable journalistic sources but incredulous fan sites relying on tweets from unverified accounts, unattributed claims, repeated rumors and not very stringent vetting. Sometimes these sites attribute a journalistic site, in which case we should link to that original site, which did its own original reporting, rather than to the copycat site just re-reporting someone else's work. And there are instances where the editors here interpret and read into what those fan sites say, which is speculation. | |||
I'm also not sure why we're reporting early rumors that are turning out to be wrong. Every large science-fiction movie creates speculation in the fan press. That's neither news — as in hard facts — nor is it encyclopedic: What is the educational value of things a relatively small number of fans outside the mainstream are speculating and rumormongering among themselves? As it stands right now, this article is more a fan site itself than it is an encyclopedia article. --] (]) 15:39, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | |||
: The article is complete fanwank. Full of rumours and people "confirming" this or that, and then a few months later it hasn't happened, and is replaced by another "confirmed" date/star/writer/director/etc. The film has not started principal photography. It may never do so. Until it does, per ] a Misplaced Pages article is premature. ] (]) 15:43, 27 February 2014 (UTC) | |||

== Jurassic World or Jurassic Park 4 == | |||
In light of a recent move by {{user|Rusted AutoParts}}, I requested that he move it back to its previous title of ''Development of Jurassic World'', but I also wanted to open up a discussion as well, so consensus can be made should something like this come up again in the future. | |||
My position is that the article covers its previous title of ''Jurassic Park 4'' fairly well, and that because the film is currently titled ''Jurassic World'', that its ''development'' companion article should reflect that title. | |||

== Criticism of the film == | |||
The film has come under some criticism for scientific inaccuracy because the dinosaurs do not have feathers. Most experts now regard it as beyond doubt that theropods such as Velociraptor would have had extensive feathering (in fact, all groups of dinosaurs may have been feathered), yet a decision was made not to reflect the current science. This seems a sadly missed opportunity as many viewers who are not experts, take much of their knowledge of dinosaurs from these films. The science has come on by leaps and bounds since the first film in 1993, with more than 40 species of feathered dinosaurs now known, yet the depictions of them in Jurassic Park have not. Can this page be updated to reflect this debate? See references here: | |||

: You state "in fact, all groups of dinosaurs may have been feathered" - NO! That's utter nonsense, as skin impressions exist for many groups of dino's that show hard-scales, not feathers. A feathered ankylosaurid, for example, would have been biologically ridiculous, or on a large sauropod would have resulted in an over-heated dead animal very quickly. Feathers appear to have developed on many types of theropods in the Jurassic, but certainly not all species. This is an aside to the content of the article, of course, but criticisms should be restricted to those that are scientifically sound.] (]) 00:59, 6 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
: The article currently includes a comment attributed to the director saying the film will not include feathered dinosaurs, but it doesn't seem particularly well sourced. I don't think it is appropriate to debate the scientific accuracy of a work of fiction, especially since the film that has not been released yet, I think we will need to wait and see what actually happens in the film. Perhaps more information about the production will make this issue clearer but the simplest answer (the usual answer from Hollywood) is that they weren't going to let the science get in the way of the story. The film is part of a series, I think it would be more strange if they went against the established look and style of the previous films. -- ] (]) 11:37, 24 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
::Notwithstanding that waiting until the movie is at least in post-production before its content is judged is prob a good idea, the decrying of the film's non-/anti-science perspective has been quite loud amongst dino-geeks and so perhaps deserves a mention with a couple of refs to the most erudite articles (Jumpycrawl's list is an excellent place to start). However, disagree with the premise of your last sentence as it is a false dichotomy. ''If'' this film is part of the same series, then it should be noted that the three prev films have shown a clear progression from scaly lizard 'raptors to a more bird-like form with some token feathers at the back of the skull, in an attempt to recognise the changes in science's understanding over the intervening years.

In contrast, the ] has some information about character voicing, but the entire section is unsourced, so what value does it actually have? By the time we get to the ], it's just an ] that is also unsourced. And at Jurassic World, what is being proposed is yet another bare-bones list based on personal recognition of these dinosaurs. The value of this list has declined significantly from the well sourced content in the main article to where we are today.

== ''Jurassic Park 4'' title == | |||
I know there has been disagreement in the past about the ''Jurassic Park 4'' title being used in the top section. The reason given for this is that it was never an official title, however, it's already currently mentioned four times in the article: | |||
- ''While Marshall and Kennedy were no longer signed with Universal Pictures in a production capacity, it was said that the two would remain involved with the studio and its plans for '''Jurassic Park 4'''. In November 2009, Joe Johnston discussed the possibility of '''Jurassic Park 4''', stating that the story for the film is completely different from that of its predecessors and would take the franchise into a whole other trilogy. In a January 2010 interview, Johnston reiterated that '''Jurassic Park 4''' was set to be the beginning of a second Jurassic Park trilogy.'' | |||
- ''On June 21, it was confirmed that Rise of the Planet of the Apes writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver would be scripting '''Jurassic Park 4'''.'' | |||
If the title isn't official, should it really be used in the article at all? Also, the filmmakers themselves have actually referred to the film as ''Jurassic Park IV'' (or ''4'') in interviews over the years. Universal also referred to the film as such in an old press release a couple years ago. In my opinion, that sounds official to me. Just thought I would bring that up, because if we're not going to treat it as an official title, then it doesn't seem like it should even be mentioned at all in the article, as it is in the instances I mentioned above. ] (]) 04:45, 21 April 2015 (UTC) | |||
'''Update''': I've provided some new references to the article, in which Trevorrow states that the film was previously called ''Jurassic Park IV''. Personally, I feel like that's worth a very brief mention in the top section of the article, but I won't add it if it is deemed unnecessary. I would just like to point out the fact that many of the article's references from 2001 to 2013 refer to the film as ''Jurassic Park IV''. The article for ] specifies that that film was once known as ''Bond 24'', to avoid confusion about it having two separate titles. I don't know if a film's previous title is actually worth mentioning, so I just thought I would bring it up. ] (]) 18:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC) | |||

If a reliable source like Entertainment Weekly reports $180M, that's worth noting. The figures are estimates anyway and will change when real data comes in. There's also the question of interpretation: whether or not $180M is . What's the margin of error for these estimates anyway? But I digress. ] (]) 18:17, 9 May 2015 (UTC) | |||
:The ($150–180 million+) does not make any sense at all. A budget range only makes sense if the budget is likely to be between the two bounds i.e. if the budget is most likely between $150 and $180 million. That is clearly not the case here: states that the film cost $150 million while states it cost "$180 million-'''plus'''". According to the two sources the film could have cost $150 million, $180 million, $190 million etc. There is no point having the upper-bound figure of $180 million in this case because it is not the upper bound. All we really know is that the film cost at least $150 million i.e. $150 million+. ] (]) 17:55, 11 June 2015 (UTC) | |||

::Thanks for the comment, {{u|Doniago}}. I'm fine with acing it, because I don't see the need to summarize something that's already summarized. There are two disparate opinions on the critical response. Picking "generally positive" as {{u|TropicAces}} has done is inaccurate and tends to inflate the subject. Without getting too far into Tropic's head, superficially it seems like he's making a judgment call that since the percentage skews higher than 50% that implies mostly positive since it's the high-end of average? I dunno. Seems like clear OR to me. I don't know that I consider a range to be synth, since if we had two reliable sources at odds over a gross total, it wouldn't be inappropriate to present the value as a range, and we're not concluding anything, we're presenting the data as reported.

"As of MMDDYYYY the film grossed $NNN million" and combine that with info about the budget afterward. ] (]) 11:51, 17 June 2015 (UTC) | |||

So who is Casey Neistat? Is he a qualified film critic or journalist? The comment that he finds it not 'good' but 'satisfying' is not encyclopedic, factual nor cited.

== Monday Update == | |||
Every Monday it's the same thing you guys always post weekend numbers as soon as the sun sets in Europe and stop counting then but that's not true since Sunday in the US keeps going and many people watch movies late on Sunday which keeps updating weekend numbers well after the "final weekend gross" articles are written. That means that any mentioning of record set in this article are outdated, especially since it's always #2 by a few million, even though it probably hit #1 by Monday. Like that Avengers record when those articles were posted 21 hours ago we were still playing the movie Sunday night here in the US so it went up 2 million in the last 3 hours of Father's Day, so in order words you guys need to show the fully updated numbers in this article that includes all of Sunday night, not just Europe's, or else you have the records wrong. In fact, I'm sure this movie already hit 1 billion as of now ] (]) 17:18, 22 June 2015 (UTC) | |||
:While your logic may be there, a film's gross is marked by official reporting's, not "I assume at some point today it will cross X amount". Also, as an American film, its gross is not marked until the American day ends. ] (]) 21:30, 22 June 2015 (UTC)tropicAces | |||
Undoubtedly, this is a great film with outstanding performance in many aspects but I think we should delete all the other films and their revenue cited in the reception section since such info. is completely irrelevant to ''Jurassic World'' itself and not that meaningful.

A quick question: should the animals in the film be referred to as 'it' or 'she'? It's a well-known fact that all the animals created in the first film were female, which I assume continues in the fourth instalment. I feel as though the films animals should be given 'she' or 'her', as many of the film's dinosaurs, such as the Tyrannosaurus and the Indominus, as well as all four raptors, have distinct personalities and identities, and so should be referred to with more personalizing language. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> | |||

Horror film?
Reviewing the edit history for this article, I see that multiple IPs have removed the categorization of this film as a horror film, and have consistently been reverted. My question is: why? The lead doesn't describe JW as being a horror film, nor does the body of the article in its current form appear to describe it as such, and I didn't see that the edit summaries provided by the reverting editors ever included a rationale for reinstating the category.
As such, I've taken it upon myself to remove the 'horror film' category. Editors who believe JW should be classified as such are welcome to provide their reasoning here. DonIago (talk) 12:52, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- The Turner Classic Movie database classifies it as "horror," which was why editors were categorizing it as horror here. Mr Fink (talk) 16:00, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
