    Other than Jurassic World which has a mixed reception why is Treverrow a terrible decision?

    Jurassic World's direction was very generic, he doesn't have enough experience and there are far better choices out there (David Fincher, Guillermo Del Toro, Gore Verbinski and Brad Bird come to mind)

    I said other than Jurassic World. And as far as experience go's he has enough. You bring up Brad Bird, i think Bird is a better choice than JJ and i wish he was making TFA, But i bet Disney isn't too happy with him after Tomorrowland.

    @ Duke Groundrunner

    George Lucas in the 70's with THX, American Graffiti and Star Wars was one of the best filmmakers around. With the prequels he didn't fare so well. Treverrow has one independent film that was really good and one big studio film that was successful but was far from a great film. Before tackling a Star Wars film, I think he needs a lot more on-set experience.
    I hope I'm wrong and he does a great job, but from what I saw with Jurrasic World, I have my concerns.

    Absolutely. These were also my thoughts about Josh Trank, and look what happened there..

    I've always been a huge fan Trevorrow's direction, the premise for Safety Not Guaranteed was great and then the film itself was excellent. Having a successful blockbuster isn't easy i.e. Bird and Tomorrowland, Trank and F4, Stanton and John Carter. All three of those are examples of talented directors, and the flops aren't entirely their fault but still you have to have talent to successfully manage a blockbuster and Trevorrow has proven said talent. For me I found outside of the kids (thrown in to market towards kids, and given more focus than they should've) and semi-sexist treatment of Bryce Dallas Howard's character the movie was very well done if a little over the top near the end. But people came for Dinosaurs and nostalgic callbacks. Nostalgia cinema is the in thing right now.

    There's mixed reception then there is internet hate, Jurassic World is part of the recent phenomena of movies that did well and received decent reviews but are absolutely trashed by the internet (Dark Knight Rises is one of the earliest examples I can think of, Star Trek: Into Darkness is another famous example). Jurassic World is receiving a lot of internet hate. Give me a point by point analysis of why you think Jurassic World sucked and how it was Trevorrow's fault, referencing specific scenes or lines of dialogue is preferred.

    Episode VI had freaking Richard Marquand and it came out ok. Most of the issues I feel stemmed from Lucas (such as the Ewoks), and the direction was weaker than V but about on par with IV

    Just for me, I really didn't like that scene where the babysitter/PA was murdered - like, it could have been funny, I think it was meant to be funny (in a sort of rake effect way [side show bob with the rakes in the simpsons...]), but it left a really really foul taste in my mouth.

    Other than that it was a solid movie! I thought the fight between Indomotus Rex and Tyrannosauraus Rex could have been more Godzilla epic, but still - pretty badass! And the whole pack-alpha thing was cool. The CGI was pulled off pretty masterfully and didn't slip too far down the uncanny valley.

    But honestly not sure if Colin Trevow has proven himself enough to be given a Star Wars helm. But, young talent, young blood. We will see what we will see.

    What's with people hating on movies (and their directors) that are financially successful (obviously not flops from a money standpoint)? Is this a trend, to hate on financially successful movies because it's a popular thing to do (and spread that hate via the Internet)? This has happened to a lot of movies, from the PT to the new Star Trek movies, Avatar, the Dark Night Rises, Spider-Man III , the Amazing Spider-Man 2, the Transformers movies, Jurassic World, some of the Fast and Furious movies, some of the MCU movies (Age of Ultron for example);heck, I could go on with a list of financially successful movies - yet seems like many hate on them based on Internet comments - but my point remain: why the hate?

    It seems to me that most people that are hating on financially successful films are just hating because they act like sheep and only follow movie critics' opinions. They can't form opinions of their own and instead just copy and follow opinions of so-called professional critics and then go around the internet passing off their opinions as their own.

    People aren't going to pay money for a product that sucks (people that go see something will let others know about it and if those 1st viewers don't like it, they'll let may others know about it thus inhibiting said movie from gaining more money). Those of you that say that money-making movies don't necessarily mean that they're any good are probably individuals who think they know how a movie's story should be like and probably have near-impossible ridiculously-high expectations who seem to be way too critical to enjoy anything (instead of just allowing themselves to be entertained they decide to be super judgmental and act like pretentious people who think they are super intelligent and have good taste in things).

    It's sad that society has gotten to this point, of popularizing trolling. These people must be pathetic no-life losers if all they seem to do is constantly complain and be negative on the Internet.

    P.S. You do know that movie studios consider movies to be successful if they make a lot of money, right? Financial success is the (seemingly) biggest factor that these studios take inter consideration in determining if their movies were successful or not with moviegoers.

    Just because a film is successful, doesn't mean it's any good. People aren't trolling when they voice their opinion on the choice of director, they're genuinely concerned because they want a safer bet when it comes to their beloved Star Wars. When you see someone complaining about Treverrow doing Episode IX, they may also be really pleased about other news. Don't assume opinions different from your own are "No-life losers" trolling.
    And of course people are aware that money is a huge factor in the studio decisions, but if that was all it was about, they'd just get Michael Bay to direct them all.

    I liked Jurassic World, but it had a lot of problems, many of which come down to the director and writers (Treverrow is credited as one of the writers). I think Colin Treverrow is a good director, but I also think he needs a lot more on-set experience before tackling a Star Wars film. Maybe he'll be ready for the next trilogy in a few years, but I think it's too soon for him to be directing IX.
