Leave your thoughts about Dinosaurus!.
| New York TimesHoward ThompsonMotion picture art hit rock bottom all over town yesterday with the arrival of Dinosaurus! |
| User ReviewJames MOK, I didn't see all of this, but the fight between the Tyrannosaurus and the digger at the end has to be seen to be believed. Plus the 'The End' sequence was fantastic. |
| User ReviewRandy Mof course i loved it. more so as a kid, because that was MY daddy on the dinosar. |

| User ReviewBrad FIt was worth it just for the shot of the caveman trying on a dress, alone. And that sentence right there should give you an idea of the caliber of movie you're in for with "Dinosaurus!" However, this is one of those films that's so damn goofy that you can't help but enjoy it on some level if you give it half a chance. The plot is a ridiculous flight of fancy, barely approaching the level of pseudo-science, the jokes flow like water, and you could practically make a drinking game out of how many times someone says the word/name "Hacker." In a nutshell, if you liked MST3K, you'll have a lot of fun with "Dinosaurus!" It's the kind of film that show was made for. |
| User ReviewPaul DThere was this scene in the movie where the "resuscitated apeman" came face to face with a lady with a facial mask on and scared the wits out of each other...which years later, was BORROWED for E.T. when he and Elliot first met in the backyard...by none other than Steven Spielberg!!! Film buffs, go check it out. |
| User ReviewPete SHa ha ha, there are worse ways to waste an hour and a half of your time. Logan will love this in a couple years. |
| User ReviewLyric BFun and silly. It is like most of the '60s sci-fi films; damsel in distress, curious and witty little boy, hunky and manly lead... all of whom are on a tropical island that has been hiding centuries old creatures. I love movies from this era because they were funny, didn't take themselves too seriously and the men were masculine. 60's films are kind of the anti-Twilight because the men took charge instead of getting into dumb slap fights with eachother. Ah, the women's liberation has destroyed our culture. We must find the fun again. |
| User ReviewKaci NMany an hour of my childhood was spent rewatching Dinosaurus on an old VHS, taped from the telly. To me it was a thrilling adventure with an endless stream of memorable moments. The deaths of the Brontosaurus and the caveman held genuine sorrow, the awakening of the dinosaurs after being struck by lightning true menace, and the final battle between the Tyrannosaurus and the crane real exhilaration. Growing up can be a terrible thing. Though these moments still ring true, the faults are clearer now. The effects aren't quite as seamless as I remember (some of the stop motion is terrible) and the story has turned more cheesy than engaging. But this will always be a defining film of my childhood, up there with The Goonies man. Incidentally, it's desperately crying out to be remade as a big budget, tongue in cheek creature feature! Maybe I can make it happen. |
| User ReviewDilla NBless the wonders of Netflix Instant Queue! I would have never even heard of this delightful slice of almost 50 year old chesse any other way! No, it's not good. But it's entertaining! An insanely ridiculous premise teamed up with some silly stop motion animation and you get DINOSAURUS! Any movie with an '!' at the end of it, deserves a look! Besides, where else would you get a character named 'Dumpy'?! |
