Dinosaur fanatics could be in for a big disappointment when Jurassic World hits the big screen in a few weeks.The keenly awaited Spielberg blockbuster has come in for criticism from dinosaur experts who claim the creatures depicted in the film are not in line with the latest research.Unlike the 1993 original, which was praised for its attention to detail and accuracy, the new film shows portrays its Tyrannosaurus Rex and velociraptors all wrong.Darren Naish, a paleontologist at Southhampton University told The Times: 'The original film showed dinosaurs that were not simply roaring, scaly monsters but were active, social, bird-like animals with dynamic bodies.'

Experts have blasted the film for not being true to science 'Now, Jurassic World is simply a dumb monster movie and there has been a deliberate effort to make its animals look different from the way we think they should.'Research now shows pretty conclusively that the T-Rex and the Velociraptor would have had FEATHERS.But film-makers clearly chose to play it safe and keep them scaly, as most people know and imagine them to be.http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/whats-on/film-news/jurassic-world-branded-dumb-monster-5672198 T-Rex

They probably kept the iconic look of the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park because... oh... they're iconic? No one thinks a velociraptor would look more menacing as 3ft tall and feathered.

There's no pleasing people apparently. Usually people cry: "It's not the same! It's not like the originals!"

Now it's: "The look the same!"

Jeez guys, its a goddamn movie about dinosaurs.

The raptor training kind of gave away the "dumb" part.

Pretty much I could probably guess how the movie ends given the raptors being trained. I think it will be a homage to the original movie when the raptors attack the T-Rex.

what did people think, the only good movie was the original, both the following sequels sucked, this is par for the course

fingers crossed either Mad Max or Poltergeist end up being worth watching

Currently Mad Max has the highest rotten tomato score I have ever seen.. It has a 99% score right now with 144 reviews, with only ONE negative review.
