Why do we like dinosaurs so much?
Just when Spielberg was on a minor low after the critical and box office disappointment of "Hook" in 1991, he decided to make not only A movie about dinosaurs, but THE movie about dinosaurs to turn things around.

The original Jurassic Park is a modern marvel of cinema in many ways, but mostly the ground-breaking visual effects. Yeah, there had been other movies with prehistoric beasts, but none that integrated them seamlessly with human actors before this film.

What a great idea (based on the book) of having human beings visit a remote coming soon amusement park and watch what happens when everything goes wrong.

There are so many iconic scenes, I can't even begin to list them. The T-Rex, the raptors, the spitting ones. It was all just magic.

The tension build to the ultimate climax will never be beaten even with the 27 sequels.

Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures and woolly mammoths roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of Dug, along with sidekick Hognob as they unite his tribe against a mighty enemy Lord Nooth and his Bronze Age City to save their home.

There's always cracking fun to have with an Aardman film, and Early Man certainly didn't break that tradition. Laughs and shocks, and trying to decipher voices because you forgot to look at the cast list before going to see it! It doesn't matter how hard I try, I can't reconcile Tom Hiddleston as Lord Nooth... at this point it actually hurts my brain to think about it.

Quite a few of the kids at the film didn't seem to understand what was going on, so every time the adults laughed there was a slight pause and then the kids would laugh instinctively. Always entertaining for everyone though, no matter the reason for the laughter.
