Damn, and here I thought my laziness could prevail AND I'd still be the first to post a review of the movie. Selendro's absolutely right, I think Diablo did an exceptional job as the tyrannosaur in the movie. I didn't see the terrible other movie that Selendro mentioned, but Jenn did and had a similar review. Journey sucked ass and only had stereotypical stupid T. rex in the movie for like two minutes.
Now, don't get me wrong. I don't think it was a great movie, and Will Ferrell is just not that funny...the guy who played Marshall stole the show, what there was to steal. It was a goofy movie that parodied the original series and, judging by end credits and incidental music, Planet of the Apes as well (yes, the original one, not the shitty remake). I haven't seen the sequel to Night at the Museum, but the first one was much better than Land of the Lost. It had more refined adult humor, such as it was.
Nevertheless, Land of the Lost was fun for a parody movie. Granted, it was like a poorly written Story Bored episode, but it did have a few laughs, and you absolutely should see it for the tyrannosaur, he's worth the price of admission. I thought of Diablo a lot. Granted, they did kill off one dinosaur (Alice), and granted, there should have been lots more dinosaurs, but there was a fair amount, and they were stereotypically funny. The writer/director obviously just knows dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, as all the predator stereotypes were representin'. There were compies, raptors, and the rex. Those were the only dinosaurs there ever were, right? No need for others.
But the rex was great. Not only could he understand English, but his role as an antagonist was exceptional. They had such fun with his character...he was more interesting than the other non-human, Chaka, side character. Unfortunately, there was only one non-sexy stomp, but he was so much fun in the movie.
And wow, someone else remembers the 90's Land of the Lost. I don't think that should be allowed. Remember what now?
The twist and tribute to Enik was awesome in the movie. Not quite as deep of a character as he was in the 70's series, but still fun. Now, if the next Sid and Marty Krofft production is a Dr. Shrinker movie...
